Yea playa, go on and get it cause it's rough on a brother. We have to be 3 times as good at everything in order to get respect and have a chance. It's sad but that's the way it is.

Good choice Tuskegee is Black University with a strong history of educated Black Men.  It is one of the top universities to graduate from. GenoTheLowrider, do your thang man. Think big and live well. Now that's what I'm talking about. Not all of us are thugs and theaves. Some of us have a higher awareness. I'm glad to see I'm not alone here. There are some thinkers out there and in here too.

Congress has designated only one college campus in the country as a National Historic Site: Tuskegee.

Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute was founded in 1881 by Booker T. Washington, an educator and former slave who became one of the most influential African American leaders in the United States. The institute later became Tuskegee University. In the beginning, the school was chartered by the state of Alabama to train African American men and women in teaching, agriculture, and industrial trades.

At the invitation of Booker T. Washington, famed botanist George Washington Carver came to Tuskegee in 1896 to head the agriculture department. It was there that Carver developed his method of crop rotation to conserve nutrients in the soil. He also discovered hundreds of new uses for the peanut and sweet potato. In the 1920s, the school expanded its mission and offered its students a liberal arts education

O yes please believe that, the ONLY campus in the nation thats a National Historic site.  I love it, being a history major and that campus is filled with history.  Including Booker T's house, the "Oaks", and the Carver museum, not to mention pretty much every building on campus.  Its a great school, and I love going there.

I feel you on the black men BiggMike, not all are bad, but not enough are in college either.  The girls at Tuskegee HIGHLY outnumber the males here. 

Preciate the encouragement, I will definitly keep my eyes on the prize and see it through, u do the same bro.

Man that's beautiful to see Black university. Imagine If there was one on the westcoast. That would be nice, its almost ashame that the high school graduates from cali got to down down south to get that experience. It would be nice if there was a black university in evey state. Maybe one day. Inspirational Post.

You are very right man, we get SSOOOOO many people from Cali at Tuskegee, wanting to get that Black University expirience.

Being in the south has some good things about it. You see, all of the first Black educators are from the south. All of the first Black Universities are in the south.

Why BiggMike? Because the south is where African Slaves staged all of the uprisings and all the secret meetings to learn how to read and write. They plotted on how to get away and be free.  It was here and then it was there. People forget but southerns don't. We experience in your face racism on a regular basis. We are constantly reminded of our "place" in society. 

That's why I keep saying wake up and see your people as Kings and Queens, not niggas.  We all come from "Nappy Roots", be proud of it and stay strong and be smart.
