    I have gone to Alabama A and M to visit this year and noticed a lot of white people there. Not just white guys either. for the most part the white guys would attend for the athletic programs but I have seen a few ww also. can anyone explain what the deal is ? Is it happening in your area ?

    the last time I was on that campus before was about 9 years ago now the demographics are shifting heavily.

    It is a scary trend and it would take a long time if those White alums give money to a Black school. The two HBCUs in West Virginia are entirely White.

    I have been to a hbcu for a couple of days or weeks in jan. It had plenty of black people. The truth is any one can go to the universities so it really doesn't matter what color the person is.

    I went to a wedding for a buddy who's a Civil Engineer in West Virginia near Charleston. He and his wife had just bought a house, but he was living on the campus of one of the very colleges you're talking about. He still had the lease - so that's where I stayed for the week. It was a real eye+opener.+There+were+nothing+BUT+interracial+couples+there.+My+buddy+said+that+every+brother+he+knew+was+dating+a+white+woman.+And+it's+true+-+it+was+a+great+dating+scene.+I+had+such+a+good+time+that+I+almost+became+an+Engineer+for+the+State+of+West+Virginia.

    I have a company laptop with an air card - but that's out of the question. Can you imagine the conversation? I would be the funniest thing in the world trying to explain why I've been spending so much time on White Women Black Men.com (right up to the point where I have meet with HR)

    I believe it is a great thing to see white folks migrating to HBCU's because they always knew that the hbcu's education was up to par it was just a stigma that it is a "black" school. meaning wp saying "that the standards are below us". but now that black respresented themselves well the stigma is gone. they cant help but acknowledge the power of the hbcu.

    the only thing the hbcu needs to work on is the adminstration. one thing is processing the students classes and financial aide in an efficeint manner. registration and getting financial aide is a pain

    I always thought it was their prestige that needed to be worked on excluding howard and another college that escapes my mind.

    yeah they are private and very very small. the 1 of many reasons morehouse

    Its a great thing, we want racial integration to date and marry WW, so it just makes sense that all the stupid racial walls come tumbling down

    I believe college campuses are the best place for racial and cultural change. It is a great incubator for that.

    as you see no black dudes are fleeing the community. as a matter of fact as you see we have much love for the black community guys here are in love with people.

    as cornel west stated in his book race matters or was it dyson. when you are pro-black you are not anti-white you are pro-mankind. when ever blacks fought for equal rites everyone gained of every demographic.

    this is a site for black men who not only appreciate the beauty of white women but the love of themselves and other people.

    the bible states the same read numbers 12: 1-16

    it speaks on Interracial marriages and the people who speaks against it and the repurcussions thereof.

    as a matter of fact here you go:

    1 Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite. 2 "Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?" they asked. "Hasn't he also spoken through us?" And the LORD heard this.
    3 (Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.)

    4 At once the LORD said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, "Come out to the Tent of Meeting, all three of you." So the three of them came out. 5 Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud; he stood at the entrance to the Tent and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When both of them stepped forward, 6 he said, "Listen to my words:
    "When a prophet of the LORD is among you,
    I reveal myself to him in visions,
    I speak to him in dreams.

    7 But this is not true of my servant Moses;
    he is faithful in all my house.

    8 With him I speak face to face,
    clearly and not in riddles;
    he sees the form of the LORD.
    Why then were you not afraid
    to speak against my servant Moses?"

    9 The anger of the LORD burned against them, and he left them.

    10 When the cloud lifted from above the Tent, there stood Miriam—leprous, [a] like snow. Aaron turned toward her and saw that she had leprosy; 11 and he said to Moses, "Please, my lord, do not hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed. 12 Do not let her be like a stillborn infant coming from its mother's womb with its flesh half eaten away."

    13 So Moses cried out to the LORD, "O God, please heal her!"

    14 The LORD replied to Moses, "If her father had spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Confine her outside the camp for seven days; after that she can be brought back." 15 So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on till she was brought back.

    16 After that, the people left Hazeroth and encamped in the Desert of Paran.
