Black Student Community Analysis

“Historically Black Colleges and Universities, or HBCUs, have played an important role in enriching the lives of not just African Americans, but our entire country.”(Keller) What Ric Keller states here is an opinion that outlines a compelling fact about HBCUs that along with several other significant information that may come as a surprise. Essentially, the great debate between the choice of whether an Historically Black College and University or Predominantly White Institution is more beneficial or not can become a pondering interrogation. Each acronym defines itself, Historically Black Colleges and Universities(HBCUs) were established by the means of providing an education for predominantly African American students. Whereas, Predominantly White Intuitions(PWI) serve to instruct and educated the opposite or in other words those of Caucasian descent.

Audience: 8th grade African American male students, teachers, administration, counselors, and mentors. African Americans, males, and females from different backgrounds that live in urban and suburban

Doing much research among this topic it has shown that Black in education or in this case college education has proven that people of color can succeed in anything. My primary focus will be about being female of color in the science field, and how it’s shown that Black female scientist have done extraordinary work to get where they are at. However, there are a handful of critics who believe that Black females can’t be taken seriously or don’t have the credentials. My sources are saying that being Black in college education there is going to be ups and downs mostly being based around discrimination and racial profiling. The paper will be explained in a timeline format that will lead into 1964 until now. Including

I assume that students come from different backgrounds and countries. Immigrant students including myself come to the United States in search of a better life. We all have the same goal, i.e., aspiring to go to higher education, being successful academically and eventually leading a better life. Being a part of a homogeneous community where you do not belong might be very frustrating, but if people come from diverse backgrounds, there is a greater potential for them to understand each others feelings.

I have exemplified advancing the academic excellence of my community with both my executive position within Council of Black Students in Administration and my participation in College Mentors for Kids.

What are Black’s and Mexicans relationship in terms of social interaction, and how has their interaction in the past improved their relationship over the years. Although, African American’s and Latino share a common interest in terms of race, social interaction and fighting for their rights; one thing is certain race in the United States is a combination of two different elements (that of black and white). This causing much confusion for the Mexican compared to the Black’s, for the Mexicans wish they could resemble the characteristics of a white-man’s identity; but a black person wishes to be themselves causing separation between the two different

The black community has lost touch with the essential elements that made the community so distinct. These elements created such a rhythm that transcended obstacles and hardships. Due to this loss of rhythm, individualism has been a promoted value and has been put before the care of the collective. The breakdown begins in the home, because this is where values are first taught. Once this breakdown occurs, it then moves into the community creating a ripple effect. The solution for the Black community to get its rhythm back is to find its way back to the fundamentals. We can revive this shattered community by incorporating the core fundamentals: family, church, and community. The integral human development targets this social nature of humanity and how we organize our families, society, and communities directly affect human dignity and our ability to achieve our full human potential.

How could we do this? First step in trying to pass this, is that we would have to introduce the idea to the board of education, second if it passed we would

Black Studies should promote the worldview and culture of the African people and their descendants, attributing to students’ comprehension of the subject matter and how the field relentlessly develops over time but maintains its prestige. Students throughout history have expressed the necessity of Black Studies being an outlet for “the political need for turf and place, the psychological need for identity, and the academic need for recognition” (Huggins, 1985, p. 327). In order to stress the importance, Black Studies in modern higher education should not be taught using conventional methods but instead through an African-Centered Worldview. Furthermore, Black Studies should reflect the Kemetic culture, as well as its philosophy as it relates

In NAACP I’ve become more open minded about certain issues that African Americans face everyday that have been ignored by elected leaders. As Vice President of the Lakeland Youth Council, we discuss ways to involve children and teenagers into our organization by participating in local events. We also attend the NAACP State Conference in Orlando where we discuss pressing topics as a unit with other youth

In today’s society, family has become a very relevant issue amongst Black Canadians. Ideally, Blacks would enjoy having a nuclear family as most would however, in many cases immigrants often have transnational families which sometimes results in children having single parents. Not only does this put them at an economic disadvantage, this also leaves children without a true sense of security and family, which according to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, prohibits them progressing towards meeting all of their needs. Moreover, in the educational realm, Black students are adversely impacted by the scarcity of identifiable Black role models within their own schools. This in part impacts their future as “Most Black youth have a great deal of trouble

We can create grade level competitions and have positive reinforces for the grade level that completes the process or has the most people signed up by a certain due date.

While the whole country is debating today’s racial issues after the fatal police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO and Baltimore protests over the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old African American, a group of Chinese Americans have organized Asian American Coalition for Education (AACE) to fight for their children’s equal rights in the admissions to Ivy League colleges. In Chinese communities, Chinese newspaper commentaries, Chinese chat groups or discussions at any gatherings, it would seem that Ferguson, Baltimore, and other similar cases had never happened because our minds are somewhere halfway around the world. In this country, diversity, a multicultural phenomenon, surrounds us everywhere we go; however, it is something we look, but we don’t see simply because it doesn’t matter to us.

“Th-th-the dog wa-was very big.” the black student read as the classroom snickered. “Dequan can’t read” another student yelled out and the fifth grade class filled with laughter. This is what happens in black community public schools every day. Instead failing these black students that can’t read simple words in the fifth grade, teachers pass them along all the way through high school. “It is unlawful as well as unsafe, to teach a slave to read” (Douglass). The educational system wants black students to know little to nothing their whole lives. Schools are set up to have as many black students in jail by the time they are eighteen as possible. One out of every four black students will pass through the correctional system, and at least two out of every three black students will be dropouts (Barber). We live in an America that does not want black people running or even knowing how to run the country. Education was made for white students to run America it and still is.
