@CoriBush is a superstar in politics. As a serious follower of politics, I know a superstar when I see one. If given the opportunity in the future she will be a tremendous leader for change in this country. She already is, the right opportunity will shine a brighter light on it.

The strong hold Russell Athletics had on HBCU Programs in the mid 2000’s needs to have its own Documentary or 30 for 30. “What if I told you, that one apparel company would lead to some of the worst uniform design combinations in the history of Collegiate Athletics”.

North Carolina Central University, founded by a Black Man, Dr. James Edward Shepard is located right in DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA. Known for our World Class Law School, School of Education & School of Business. Apply Today at #EaglePride.
Duke University announced it is ending a full-ride scholarship program for Black students in the wake of the Supreme Court’s affirmative action ruling .

Bethune Cookman University comes out stronger on the other end of this fiasco. Regardless of opinion, the next Head Coach at BCU will have a great task ahead of them. I also believe this places a large block in the Former NFL star to Head Coach at Prominent HBCU’s experiment.

No you’re not right about the impact. We get it. Y’all love Coach… Support him, BUT knock it off. You can’t turn an Institution into a HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY, emphasis on “HISTORICALLY”. It’s not a Business that can all of a sudden change it’s historical.
Am I right about @DeionSanders' impact on the #ColoradoBuffaloes?!? 😂😂😂😂. 🎥 @torienpippens .#DeionSanders #UniversityOfColorado #HBCU #CoachPrime @CUBuffsFootball

As a former Coordinator & HC, I was embarrassed to see that call made on 4th & 1. But what’s even more embarrassing is that Matt Rhule is defending it at the behest of his own Personnel. This is is almost unbearable to watch.
Matt Rhule says that 4th & 1 play call was the correct call by Jeff Nixon, but it was poorly executed.

Our National Championship victory was more about sending the other coach on his way for disrespecting the culture than it was about beating JSU. We have too much love for all HBCU’s to poke fun or kick any of our institutions when they’re in a precarious situation. #HBCUnity.

Soul Food Restaurants are a staple in the African American Economic ecosystem. Some of those restaurants are some of our most successful businesses our community has created. Near most HBCU’s there is a prominent Soul Food Restaurant. I’d love to hear of those restaurants!.

A large part of the Black Celebrity population are completely OBLIVIOUS as it pertains to HBCU’s. They have no idea what they’re talking about when it comes to HBCU’s and aren’t in a position, on Twitter, to sit down and learn. So they just accept being wrong and move accordingly.

Regardless of what others say, HBCU’s are STILL the premier training place for the growth and maturation of young Black men and women. I will not waver on my perspective. Regardless of the naysayers. The modern day Black College & University is an unapologetic PRO BLACK beacon.

Listen to me and listen clear,. INSTITUTIONAL ISSUES DO NOT ONLY EXIST AT #HBCU’s. All, and I mean ALLLLLLLL INSTITUTIONS have issues and problems. You & I just don’t know about them because they keep them “Internal”, and if they ever become external, SOMEBODY IS GETTING FIRED.

Sheduer is a flat out dog BUT he’s been a dog. If he was going to be #3 on the list because he beat up on TCU & Nebraska, he certainly should’ve been at Jackson State. Mel Kiper may be the BIGGEST part of what’s wrong with the NFL Scouting world. It’s been that way a long time.

The reality is that a great deal of our people, who did not ATTEND an HBCU are “Out of touch” and have no idea of what OUR INSTITUTIONS are truly about. Their ignorance pushes them to make ill-informed statements or follow unintelligent narratives.

Now some of y’all want #NCCU to step aside so y’all can party harder in Atlanta. That diminishes the whole idea of a Black College Championship, smh. The FCS playoffs and the opportunity to lose money to keep playing is a consolation prize for HBCU’s. Were NOT Interested in the.

I'm just waiting for Coach Freeman to get some love & for ND to be declared an HBCU. Let y'all tell it, it's no other black coaches in FBS luckily I found another(there are 14).It's ok to like prime but don't ignore the other coaches & act like what he is going through is unique.
