Not uncomfortable at all with the idea and existence of HBCUs.
There are non Black students who attend HBCUs as well. At the time HBCUs were born, they were needed because Blacks were not allowed to attend majority schools, i.e OHio State, Wittenberg (
), etc. HBCUs are still needed and serve a purpose in the Black community, educationally and culturally among many other purposes.
