How about using the Brit Term "positive discrimination"? That helps frame the ultimate question: do African Americans today either need it or deserve it?
There isre current lawsuits against the NFL related to hiring of coaches and handling of personnel.
In addition, we have the example of the founder of Rolling Stone magazine stating that he only included white men as icons of music because Blacks and women were not “intellectually articulate” enough to be included as music icons. When you read his nonsensical NYT magazine interview, you realize that bias still exists. You are reminded that MTV refused to play music by Black artists when they first came on air.
Conservatives are blind to many things that are still occurring today.
How about providing more money to HBCUs that are struggling financially? Georgia Governor Kemp has been exposed for neglecting the funding of HBCUs in Georgia in resistance to the fed's proactive approach. Affirmative action college admissions were on a foreseeable deathbed. HBCUs have produced many black attorneys, business people, doctors, dentists, professors, and engineers. North Carolina A&T has produced half of this country's black engineers. Bush and DeSantis graduated from Yale... look at their historical buffoonery. FDR attended Ivy League schools with nonstellar performances and helped to build the white middle class with social security and GI benefits. Of course, these government handouts initially excluded blacks. Conservatism is just preserving the white status quo of power and wealth. Meritorious manumission negroes like Clarence Thomas, Tim Scott, Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Larry Elder, etc. gain wealth through anti-black racism. Black conservatives are mere double agents with self first and foremost.
The biggest opponents to funding HBCUs will be Conservatives. Look at the distractive nonsense repeatedly posted here. It is repeated red meat for Conservatives. The focus will always be on the flaws in the Black community. The other focus is on the Trans community. Conservatives are staging a slow rolling coup are display disgusting behavior in public. You will not hear a peep about the threat to democracy.
There will not be a serious discussion of issues like underfunding of HBCUs here. You just come here to learn how to hone your message when faced with Conservative attack and distraction.
Why would Black people debase themselves by adapting Conservative values. The people who label themselves Conservative have no moral values. They only believe in power. They will lie, cheat, and steal. Byron Donald, who had his head rubbed by a white Conservative during the McCarthy nomination embarrassed himself by cherry picking a Hunter Biden email to suggest that a request for financial aid for money problems after a divorce was an attempt to enrich Joe Biden. AOC immediately pointed out the deception. Byron Donald is a man without honor.
When hiphop was starting to go off the rails, the biggest initial crocs were Rev. and the late Dorothy Height. Rappers chose white culture and money over Black culture. Rappers praised white criminals like Donald Trump. They chose names like the white gangster Gotti. One of the classes taught by Dr. Greg Carr tells the history of hiphop and how it lost its way.
Conservatives openly tell pollsters that they do not believe in the Constution or the words of Jesus. There are Black organizations working with Black youth. Blacks recognize the problem. Conservatives are willing to sit by and watch other Conservatives destroy democracy. Conservatives have no moral authority to point the Black community to any moral value.
They know their views are unpopular so they try to use stongarm tactics to get their way.
Conservatives are hilarious. Kendi is not taken seriously by most Black people.
There have long been questions about his true body of work. The put downs have been subtle but clear to those putting in the work. Conservatives are always late to the game.
The ones who took him as gospel...true gospel....are progressives, especially affluent/rich white women. I know because I know some of these people and they are among the big fund raisers for the Democratic party.
My experience is that Black activists do not see him as a serious person.
If the people who take him seriously are funding Democrats, that is a plus for me. I see Conservatives as authoritarian. Tommy Tuberville is obstructing military promotions. Conservatives are refusing to redraw voting districts. Conservatives do not want my children to be taught a reality based history. I hope they keep up the funding.

Conservatives are not serious people. HBCU’s are owed $13 billion with a B.
