So because it won't adequately prepare them for the "real world, should Black people not live in an all Black neighborhood? Should Black people not attend an all Black church?
I think that is where "we" get in trouble. We start to believe that being around our "own" is somehow wrong or harmful. Well I love living in a predominantly Black neighborhood and I love attending a predominantly Black church.
I graduated from an HBCU and have been working for a couple of years. I doubt that I am any less capable of dealing with "others" as far as work is concerned as someone who attended a non-HBCU. I have a friend who went to a non-HBCU and she can barely keep a job because she doesn't know how to work with people who think differently than she. So she ends up arguing with any and everyone.
