Let's agree to disagree
I respect your opinion as well, but I disagree. I will admit that my best and brightest comment was just HBCU pride speaking. However, I do believe that recruiters know that we are Black and we have the skills to back it up. I'm sorry if I misunderstood your previous post, but when you mentioned that Howard was inferior to Duke, I felt that was a blanket statement. I will acknowledge that all HBCU's are not elite institutions, but you should acknowledge that some of them are. I still think that I can hang with a Princeton/Yale graduate. For all of my faults, the one thing that I do not suffer from is low self esteem. I realize that I am not a genius, but I will not bow down to someone because they have a degree from Harvard or Yale. I mean, George W. went to Yale, and I KNOW I'm smarter than him. I just have a different outlook. I still believe that if HBCU students were not prepared, they would not be able to retain the jobs that they were supposely receiving due to affirmative action.
