Dr. Greg Carr on Nikole Hannah-Jones joining Howard University and Challenges HBCUs Face

[@justmyopinion9883]

Nikole Hannah-Jones will be a great asset to Howard University. She is brilliant and I wish her all the best.

[@williammorrison6311]

No, she is not "brilliant." She's a liar and a fraud and a narcissist and a racist.

[@bang8534]

Much better deal for Hannah by far. Africa's best must teach at HBCUs period... UNC-CH's loss is Howard's gain...

I went to nurses training at a segregated hospital school of nursing, best experience ever. Homer G. Phillips in St. Louis, MO. 1966.

[@jamiAkos]

Yesss!!! Homer G!! My mother was a nurse there. All my siblings were born there but by the time I was born it was shut down.😩 Mom just retired from 40+ years of nursing. She always talks about how amazing Homer G. was.😍😍

Love Dr. Carr. He is always respectful and unapologetically embracing of the total Black/African American experience. Marc is learning and still finding his complete balance as we all are. He is brilliant and important to us so give him space to grow. Peace

Very important class analysis/aspects touched on here by Dr. Carr. I don't romanticize these HBCU's, because these institutions, in many ways, are pretty much Black boule factories. The kind of corporate white liberal money that Tanehisi Coates, and Nikole Hannah Jones are going to bring into Howard is going to come with strings attached.

[@xman9190]

The idea of class and status stratification amongst HBCUs is no different than it is amongst PWIs. Ivy league schools are perceived to be the cream of the crop versus all other schools. That's just the American way.

Great observation about the role HBCU's w/out the name recognition play and have played in upward mobility of blacks, hell even for poor whites and POC's. Black folk need to recognize and support them too, because the really make an impact while working with a whole lot less than their PWI often in the same town with many struggling.

[@josephwheeler6674]

This interview is very enlightening. I am well acquainted with the jealousy that prevails between some successful blacks. I have witness the competitiveness that goes on between scholars black and whites, but I have not considered the class tension between black folks. I guess my preoccupation with the daily struggle for justice has blinded me to this reality. It is certainly petty in light of the broader struggle for civil and human rights. Maybe this is just one more by product of slavery and Jim Crow.

I’m sure recruiting celebrity faculty is valuable with respect to finances and marketing, but yeah, the impact on teaching is likely subtle and there will always be some level of tension between them and their more talented, lower-paid, lesser-known, long-term faculty peers.

I dont know if I'd agree that the level of intelligence is equal. That's like saying that the students at CCP (or as some students get confused and call it KKF)are as intelligent as UOP students. Now yes I know that some are just as are even more and they are there for reasons other than being accepted. I also purposely didn't use and compare any HBCUs. I also know that there are some if not many exceptions but let's not pretend that a school I'm not gonna name that's a HBCU in N.C student body are as "able minded" as the student body in V.A and that's okay. Thanks to racism our schools in neighborhoods where black and brown live hasn't taught prepared cared or educated us so you will have numbers of kids that just weren't taught so they never learned so they cant possibly be as "sharp" as black and brown kids who went to better h.s middle class and upper class education systems.
