Today, Kids at HBCU's are convinced they are competing against other HBCU's for jobs and not across the globe. HBCU's were established for what reason? Aren't those days over? Or do we still have to brain wash our black kids these days that the white man is holding us down?
The United States is 75% White, 11% Black. You do the math.

Not true. I attended a PWI and upon graduation I had a job with one of the then Big 5 accounting firms. They heavily recruited at my school every semester. I had friends who attended Howard and guess who was there every semester too? Yup, those same firms and my friends had the same job offers. Look at this thread
http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...threadid=57394 and you can see the same discussion about law schools.
I see that you are emphasizing the career aspect of HBCUs, but what about the other aspects of why people choose to attend HBCUs? Is that your only basis as to why HBCUs are unnecessary?
