@VANDEMORY1342 Living beyond your means is NOT exclusive to African Americans, it’s an applicable to most Americans (look at the nation’s credit card and student loan debt). And usually students from the “Black Bourgeoisie” are on full scholarship. They have the resources and savvy to position themselves for full scholarships. Prime example, my cousin is the son of affluent parents and he’s on full scholarship to Howard … he’s not paying anything. His parents sent him to private schools and provided him all the support he needed so that he can land the 30+ ACT score, high GPA, and impressive resume he has. He got full rides to several other schools and of course won thousands in private scholarships. He chose Howard b/c of its great reputation and this was finally an opportunity for him to not feel mistreated/isolated simply due to his blackness. My cousin is one of those kids with a Range Rover by the way, I was there to visit him … there’s legimitately a high percentage of affluent blacks kids at Howard. The money they would’ve spent to send him to Howard was repurposed for cars, trips, clothes, and other things.
