Did you know that African-Americans are perhaps the nation’s largest or second largest ethnic group, surpassing the other six largest ethnic groups; English-Americans, Irish-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Italian-Americans, Cuban-Americans and German-Americans?
In 2012 there are thousands of colleges and universities to choose from, and most of those colleges offer fields of study (majors and minors) that should make you employable. With that said, would you personally want to attend a college or university in 2012 that has less than 20 African-American freshmen (freshpersons)? The University of the Pacific in Stockton, California needs to now demonstrate a better result, but it is not alone unfortunately.

Depending on my career aspirations and goals and the offer from the college, yes I would seriously consider it.

But if other schools had the same majors and offerings? Would you? In 2012/2013, not moi! This is sending a bad message to our children and ourselves. Again, the key is to send them to institutions that offer what they think they have an interest in AND that we know about.
