i think that you should go wherever you feel you will receive the best overall education...one cannot say that all black people are one way and would benefit more from an hbcu education vs. and education at an institution that isn't historically black...i chose an hbcu because i felt that that was where i would receive the best overall education based on my goals, pre-existing perspectives on college life, and multi-cultural upbringing, that was at times absent of intellectual exchange with people that looked like me...people that were about doing something more than being content with their present existence...so...it is always an individual choice...and in my opinion it would be regressive to stereotype us in that way...but i feel where you are coming from...
