fuck that
Go to hbcus for homecoming or parties or whatever. Most of their programs are a joke and the value just doesn't add up. I'd rather she do community college then get caught up in the high probability of bullshit at Livingston or Shaw.

This is true right here. Like DY said a majority of the schools are horrible. But the ones you listed are pretty good. Maybe I'm biased because I'm going to one of the ones listed though.

She's making the right choice imo. Congrats and keep her focused DY.

If her options were Livingstone or Shaw it's a good thing she's not looking at HBCUs. I mean Shaw isn't even accredited any more.
Historic Black College/University
And if you're wondering, yes, there's been threads on GAF about them. And yes, "why isn't there a HWCU ?" was used as a serious response.

There is enough wrong in these few short lines to write a paper on. smh Well done banned guy, well done.
I was still a young gun positing in that thread, clueless to the world. I tried to ignore the ignorance, thinking it was all jokes. However, 5 years later, I realize some of them were dead serious lol
At least most of the dumb ones in that thread have gray names now.
edit: Ah, Potato Head. That'll do, pig. That'll do.

I don't know why but when I read Potato Head's post I thought of Zimmerman.

Was this thread around during the RE5 racist allegations? I'd like to skim through that.

Toonami, fuck yea.
Though I'm not curious as to what they'll be playing....
speaking of anime though, I've been watching Kids on the slope with is the reunion of shinichiro watanabe and Yoko Kanno(both worked on Cowboy Bebop). I guess it's sort of a Japanese coming of age story of kids playing jazz back in the 60's.
absolutely nothing like cowboy bebop or samurai champloo, and if not for the people involved I probably wouldn't have watched it. Anyways, there's this scene where the gang is playing a jazz piece for some American sailors and a drunken patron, yells and tells the band to "stop playing coon music, play something white", at which point they obliged and played something less 'urban'. I was kinda surprised to see that in an anime, but it was kinda nice that it's a pretty honest portrayal of the time.

I think by law all black people had to have at least one piece of wicker furniture. They repealed that in 93."lord have mercy"
I can't, man.
My grandparents totally have that exact same chair.
Any small piece of advice or info would helpful. I'm poor at math but willing to learn, really hate repetitive tasks and procedure. Was set on Sound and Music tech for months but I don't jive with the business, industry aspects of the course though.
of course it is

"Dats a waste of watermelon when all u got do do is pick up like dis here, look here, just pick it up like dis here *bites* don't messa syrup pull behine it, BELIEVE IT!"
It's pretty good, considering the subject matter. Still has the high school crush/love triangle stuff you'd probably expect, but the characters are charming enough that you get kinda sucked into it. It's pretty good. Also, the jazz sessions are pretty dope. I haven't watched too much contemporary anime in a bit cuz all the stupid tropes and moe, but I've been following kids on the slope and the new Lupin. The new Lupin is hit and miss, also they basically turned fujiko into a whore.

That caught me off guard as well. I forgot the show took place in the 60's up until that moment.
BS in English and a minor in Spanish
MA in Library Science
*smug* being a black head librarian and seeing the reactions NEVER gets old
It looks like Boondocks is coming back.
Yea, there isn't really a lot of visual references or historical content aside from the record shop, and dress.

My cousin who I lived with while in college majored in sound tech media something or another but switched due to a lack of lucrative opportunities. Even if you aren't overly concerned with money, it is something you'll have to deal with one way or another. Any schools/programs in particular you have your eye on?
Double post.......ah well.
I was planing to go to Valencia. May switch to Seminole State for Chem because it's closer. SSC only has a music performance program.
The math you can manage through, honestly. However, if you don't like repetitive tasks and procedure, Chemistry may be a bad mix for you. That's basically all you do, if you wanted to work in a lab that is. Have you ever thought of Bio Medical Engineering? That seems to be the field to be in if you want to be creative and doing new stuff all the time, but the math is more important there. Why do you exactly want to switch to a Chem major, like what are you looking to do?
Hahaha, I bet. You go against everything Chris Rock said about black dudes and books! The looks I got as a TA for labs/lectures never got old either. It made my teeth whiter.
