i applied to hampton..i hope i get excepted even though its majority female...its a good school

I think the reason is a number of factors. Socio/economics and lack of a father figure are two primary factors, but I think it goes deeper than that. Rap music and urban media does not emphasize the importance of education and instead of going to school they would much rather hustle or rap as this is the "widely accepted" view of what a black man is in the inner city. I could do on... but hopefully with Obama's election it will light a fire for black men to go to college and excel.

as a Hampton student I feel that black people are succeeding more than A LOT of white people that I know. While these black kids here are trying their hardest to persue a career, the white kids that I went to high school with are at home right now smoking weed and making nothing of themselves.

I graduated from Hampton back in 2000, and the students are absolutely right. I am a male, and the ratio at the time was about 9 females to every 1 male. Its truly sad that not many Black men go to college. Back in my day guys were dropping out 1 by 1. I stayed even though it took me 5 long years. I had a new set of friends every year. As a guy though on campus I was in heaven. I didn't have a car, and I lived on campus, but trust me fella's I had no problems finding nice educated women.

As a Black male (of direct African origin) in America, I agree, we need more of our younger brothers entering colleges.

Anyways, If I can come to this country with little to nothing and graduate with two professional degrees solely based on my own merits and hard work, any Black male should be able to do it.

well said, my man! once one makes it a goal to achieve his potential, one needs to do it to the very end! personally, I think all males should at least try out college: you can open yourself up to being a better man and a better citizen with your degree, even if said college is a technical school. An education can take you to heights untold in life
