Why are you all claiming these people as "yours" or "us" or "we" bullshit? They aren't "us" "yours" or "we." For if those people were, they would ALREADY be an active and
positive graduate, supporter, or positive influencer on our HBCU legacy. I, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, .... are a PART of that supporting HBCU legacy, obviously, or we wouldn't be here in a medium like this interacting and physically/monetarily supporting our legacies. Those other people? They are on the outside, naively, and still don't know how (mentally) shallow they are still residing on the (mental) plantation of "mazza 'nem," proudly, and that's their right. We cannot save the world. Only those who want to be saved.
For me, I try my BEST not to interact w/ anyone, black, white, brown, yellow, green, ... who doesn't respect our HBCU legacy. IMHO, all of them, they are in the same boat sinking together and our job and position is to witness their ship wreck and say "ham' mercy lawd..." as we casually continue to ascend and build, freely.
I hope FAMU does land this TAG young man and that our other schools continue to seek and recruit the best of the best of the best.
