Woman Survives Week in Wilderness by Sucking Water From Her Hair {Lemondrop}
Sep 21st 2009 2:27PM @ mezl, actually her condition is considered to be "down-graded" to fair because she is not in as serious condition. The writer used the term correctly. With that being said. I pray she continues to recover.
Roxanne Shante Exposed, Never Received Ph. D. {The Boombox}
Sep 3rd 2009 5:31PM Hmm, looking at all these responses I see that the most ignorant ones come from the people who are talking about how "ignorant" African Americans are...go figure. And by the way, this 26 year old, African American female will be graduating with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy on May 8, 2010 and I received my undergraduate degree in Biology. Now what was that about people of color not being educated?
Should Black Colleges Merge With White Schools? {Blackvoices Main}
Jan 6th 2009 4:48PM As an alumi of Alcorn State University and a current physical therapy student at Tennessee State University I would have to agree that the legacy of HBCUs should remain as they are now. To those of you who do not understand or did not attend a Historically Black College or University my experience at an HBCU was one of the most rewarding experiences in my collegiate career. The name HBCU can be somewhat misleading as rarely are the colleges and universities all-black. The racial breakdown of my undergrad consisted of African Americans, Caucasians, Australians, Russians, Africans, Latinos...etc. As a current physical student at Tennessee State Univeristy my class of 23 students is more than half caucasian. These students have attended other larger universities, but they came to TSU to receive their doctoral degree in physical therapy. They can attest to the lower costs of tuition and the home-like atmosphere that is created by the faculty in our department. The enviornment at ASU allowed me to be surrounded by other students who looked like me who were doing something with their live, unlike the visions that you often see portrayed in the media. The bonds that were made with my fellow classmates still remain and there are other aspects of the experience like greek life, bands, and other social events that take on a totally different flavor at an HBCU. I believe that they should remain am integral part of the educational system and more money should be put into maintaining the campuses.
