IMHO, selling out is not WHAT you do, it is WHY you do it.
I attended Johns Hopkins because they gave me a full scholarship and Spelman didn't; not because I perceived it as 'better'. Yet I had some Black classmates (who shall remain nameless) who were so 'integrated' that if you told them they were Black, they would have looked at you like you were speaking Greek (pun intended?) and then would have thrown a hissy-fit about not 'labeling', 'why can't I be just a person, not a Black person', yada-yada-yada. If you asked them to name ONE HBCU, they couldn't. To me, THAT is selling out.
