As Black Media Recruits from HBCU's the POWER of BLACK Media Becomes Indomitable!Simultaneously the Growth of Black Land Ownership and Cracking of the Corporate Glass Ceiling is Inevitable Due To the Costs of Dealing Effectively With Climate Change!
Journalism in the US isn’t even journalism its a 24/7/365 campaign ad. CNN pretty much only caters to liberals and omits a ton of information. Fox was created and funded by the GOP to induce fear in conservatives of a rise in non white populations, the same way Rupert Murdock did in Australia and the UK and it’s express purpose for creation was to appeal to the remnants of the historical Lily White party Republican perspective .White so-called DEI experts point to common sources that underlie resistance to continued whites only access to the narratives of what being "American" is, including a feeling of loss of control or autonomy, a misunderstanding of the virtue of “colorblindness,” and a belief that social equalities have already been addressed, but what they neglect to mention is the fear the predominantly white Ivy league corporate set has in competing with HBCU graduates on a level "white-collar" playing field!
Texas recently became the second state to ban DEI offices, programs and training at public universities, following Florida. “DEI programs have been shown to be exclusive, they have been shown to be ineffective and they have shown to be politically charged,” Texas and Florida have dwindling white populations and in effect they are trying hard to disenfranchise the growing communities of color that are encroaching on the former all white exclusive socio-political power structures with a vengeance.
The documentary Gaining Ground: The Fight for Black Land addresses how landowners are reclaiming their agricultural rights. The growth of Texas' political power is directly related to its increased diversity on the political and business stage. the Census Bureau announced that the state would gain two House seats in the 2021 round of reapportionment. In the 2010 Census, it acquired four. This is a generation-long trend; since 1990, Texas has gained eight House seats. This is while the overall white population has been in an unprecedented decline.
The state had a white majority from at least 1850 until 2004, when white people's share of the state population dropped below 50%. People of color, Indigenous and Afro-Latinos in particular, have been powering the state's population gains for at least the last 20 years! The upward mobility is largely driven by younger, college-educated Black Americans, from both northern and western places of origin. They have contributed more than any other group to the growth of the “New South,” especially in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina, as well as metropolitan regions such as Atlanta, Dallas, and Houston. And although these areas are simultaneously in the midst of new immigrant growth, the continuing “New Great Migration” has served to give Black Americans a large—and in many cases, dominant—presence in most parts of America’s South.
Texas has the highest Black population in the United States of conservatively (since the census has admitted they may have undercounted by as much as 25% in 2020) 3,936,669, add to that the Afro-Hispanic population and the number is not 14% but actually about 34% of Texas's total population the adjusted population figures show. Hispanic Texans as a whole make up 42% of the state's population last summer of 2023. Texas is the second-most diverse state in the U.S. Following Texas is Florida with 3,867,495 (18%).
States such as Florida, Texas and Utah are among the handful whose legislatures have approved bans on DEI efforts in higher education and public offices. In Florida, the Board of Education recently announced a new rule banning public colleges from using state and federal funds on DEI initiatives. But it is too little and too late to stop the exponential growth of diverse communities as we watch in real time the quickening of the white demographic decline in almost all US states! From 2010 to 2024 the decline was widespread geographically, with 45 states seeing drops in their non-Hispanic White populations.
The relative share of non-Latino whites in the overall state population has declined in all 50 states during that same time period. As of 2024, seven states are majority-minority: Hawaii, California, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, Georgia and Maryland. All of these states saw larger declines in the relative share of their non-Latino white populations between 1990-2020 than the national average of -23.5% with Nevada dropping by -41.7%, California by -39.3% and Texas by -34.5%.
In 2024 the numbers reflected the speed of the change as Hawaii is 93 percent minorities, the District of Columbia is 71.7 percent, New Mexico is 58.8 percent, and California is 58 percent. With a rapidly shifting population, Texas is now at 51.5 percent and rising.
Looking for ways to protect the jobs of white males who fear competition based on academic acuity and talent, many companies dismantled DEI-focused initiatives that allowed people of varied backgrounds to compete, and in some cases, eliminated entire departments responsible for the advancement of marginalized workers. Many of the employees who found themselves in the crosshairs were workers of color, particularly women. The pitfall of dismantling DEI is that it forces those people who are disenfranchised to become the competition and as the numbers demographically turn in their favor those excluded will be the ones who historically gained by excluding people of color from access to the boardroom.
A diverse workforce can bring new ideas, improved market knowledge, better team dynamics, talent attraction and retention, and improved reputation and brand recognition, all of which can contribute to a company's competitiveness. HBCU's now offer the best educational opportunities for people of all racial backgrounds with their strong focus on preparedness and excellence beyond the prestige of mere exclusivity which white Ivy league schools rely on as a reflection of their supposed student prowess. From their inception, HBCUs gifted Black people with access to education, which was denied to them during slavery and segregation. The institutions also provided a safe space to learn, discover and build community. Black students' graduation rates are about the same at both HBCUs and non-HBCU institutions. HBCUs produce 80 percent of the nation's Black judges, as well as half of the country's Black doctors and lawyers.
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) face several challenges, including: Funding Disparities: HBCUs often receive less funding than predominantly white institutions, leading to resource disparities. Student Debt: Many HBCU students graduate with higher levels of student debt, limiting financial mobility. As more top tier athletes attend HBCU's and build their ability to earn income through name recognition and licensing agreements rather than relying on the hopes of a professional sports career Historically Black Colleges and Universities will be able to expand student programs scholarships and influence across the globe.
