Do your research, learn about us (HBCUs), and if you are just lazy and still want to know pm me---I'll do my best to explain. Peace.
I don't get it. You get all fired up about people making broad assumptions about Alcorn, and yet you turn around and do the same thing.

Why do you assume that I don't know anything about HBCU's?

And I was not talking about the war on racism. I agree that racism is still a prevalent issue in this country. So is ignorance.

In case you're too lazy to look it up, the term Yank was a term used by confederate states prior to, during and after the civil war to refer to those who lived north of the Mason Dixon line. When used, the term indicated that a person from the "north" was rude, unrefined and lacked "southern grace."

Hence, I find it just as offensive as you find the comments in the article referring to the quality of education available at your alma mater.
