President Biden’s wavering $3.5 trillion social welfare bill took another hit when Rep. Alma Adams said she’s a no vote unless more money goes to historically Black colleges and universities.
Ms. Adams, a North Carolina Democrat and top advocate for HBCUs, said Mr. Biden is shortchanging the Black schools in the massive spending bill.(Snip)Mr. Biden promised during the campaign to give HBCUs $57 billion to upgrade campuses and improve research facilities. The Government Accounting Office found in 2018 that 46% of the buildings at HBCUs needed repair or replacement. However, the Black colleges are slated to get just $2 billion in the bill, a fraction of what

An " infrastructure" bill that has very little to do with infrastructure. Payoffs, bribes, kickbacks and outright theft. With enough left over to make your life miserable with green new deal garbage.

They would still demand all the ‘entitlements’ they’re getting now, what’s more they would demand the million every year thereafter as simply a new entitlement. There is no limit

‘ Black’ colleges , the concept of equal treatment eludes them. The result of 60 years of being told they are owed things.

Everything with black politicians has to be about race. They're all oppressed victims, even the ones that are muti-millionaires! The worst person they could dig up would be a white-privileged, racist, heterosexual pro- life christian, patriotic member of the NRA. That would be President Trump or most of his admirers!

Where I live we get a lot of promotional commercials for HBCU. A typical one will show a young black person who said the reason they choose a HBCU is they wanted to be at a school where everyone there looked like them. I understand and don't have a problem with it. But imagine if the race was switched. The Constitution says nothing about a right to education, health care, retirement funds, etc. You can't go back in time. But when the country was founded you provided for yourself. It wasn't the government's job.

President Trump found permanent funding for the HBCU's and fixed a problem that the democrats created by forcing those colleges to essentially beg for their funding year after year.
Looks like Biden promised more than he could deliver, and likely never committed to when that $57 billion would be allocated. Possibly a new form of making them essentially beg for the funding again, because the democrats like it that way.
Now, looks like Rep. Adams has decided to shake the Speaker down for more money for her vote, which is usually called quid pro quo.

The Dems have convinced everyone that they are a victim. The victims are combating each other for top victim status.

Promises kept by President Trump, who did a lot for HBCUs, and promises broken by President Husk, who was supported by the majority of bLACK voters. Also, the fact that bLACK-run schools are falling apart and need taxpayer welfare is a clear case of White Privilege, if not Systemic Racism.
