For Black Americans is Howard better then Harvard? The real question is the Ivy League better than the top HBC s for most African Americans? There was a resent survey that showed that African American that went to top HBCs were more likely to go higher up the corporate ladder then those who attended Ivy League universities.
There has also been a suggestion that their is an elitist mentality among black students whose family had graduated these Ivy League schools or at least black students who parents were professionals then those black students who came from an impoverished family. There is also a sentiment among black professors that of an elite mentality of those who came from privileged class against those who were from impoverished backgrounds.
One of the problems for black students is self imposed segregation were they don’t get to mingle with the elite white students whose parents can help then move up the corporate ladder and the more prestigious firms.
It appears that impoverishment in childhood is not a issue at HBCs.
