Question HBCU VS. PWI

Which type of school do you think is beneficial to the growth of Black students, Historically Black or Predominately White? I have attended 2 predominately White schools and I think it was an excellent experience. The first school I went to had a Black population of less than 2 percent. We all knew each other and were VERY active on campus. Although there were incidents that made us question why we where there, I think it made us strong and pushed us to think outside of the box. Now that I'm at a school with a larger Black population, I'm kinda dissappointed at the lack of activity by the Black students. There seems to be a lot of complaining but little action. I'm sure this is not true of all campus's with a sizeable Black community but this is what I have noticed.
