Conscious sistah,

You would expect for Spelman and Morehouse to be more open minded Universities( and considering that they schools used to be around housing prjects before they started to tear them down),but they are the opposite. Even at Historically Black colleges and universities like those, some of those folks are just as snobby as they come. When you go there , you'll them talk about Black Unity and other kinds of stuff there, they are just political talking, but once you attend school there, all of that prejudice leaks out. People from Morehouse and Spelman has a tendency to look down onstudent who are from Clark Atlanta University and Morris Brown College because they are considered to be " ghetto" schools.

My brother would tell me about how disgusted he was at Morehouse and Spelman colleges looking dowm on people and back then ,the people who lived in the housing projects( and some of those people went there as well). I used to think it was a joke and I also remembered a horrible 1987 article from the AJC about their ignorance about how My wife isfrom Spelman, My girlfriend is from Clark and my Ho is from Morris brown. If I find the past article, I willlet you see what I'm talking about. Even in 2006, the prejudice has not disappeared. Just look at their website at some of their forums aboutwww.clubauc.com about it. It can be appalling! Some people , like me, who used togo to the school because we wanted the so-called Black experience and then you go and there is elitist prejudice, class prejudice nationality prejudice-- what kind of " experience" is that?It's funny, I graduated from a White University. Though I have never been the target of racially animosity( at least with me) there, I 'm quite sure thatsome of those White people at the school was for me or any other Black person, why? because it's a fact of life. At least if I would have been the target of it, I would be more expected and understood, with our own people doing this to each not! it just doesn't make sense to me.
