that i do not know. But would they be able to socialize with them as well as they do if attended an HBCU.....no i do not think so.
LOS, you are not too bright! We live in a country that is white and most black have grown up around whites all their lives. We see shows on TV that seldom have any other race but white people. So how is possible that we do not know how to socialize with white people. I mean I grew with with the majority of my childhood friends being white. I use to have sleep overs with my white friends and visit some of my white teachers. Your argument does not make any senses what so ever?
Again, at HBCUs, we have quite a few white teachers and classmates as well as people from all over the world. You learn to deal with people from all over the world. I have friends in every country in the world and from every race in the world.
Now. white man, did you know that most of the first mayors of this country are products of HBCUs and to win the election, they had to win over blacks as well as white. Did you know that most blacks from HBCUs have quite a few white friends. Did you know that the first black mayor of the city of Atlanta is a product of HBCUs? In fact, the mayor seat in Atlanta have become know as Howard South because all the black mayors have had a connection to Howard University. Howard might as well because Mayor U because almost all Black mayor comes from that school.
Some of went to HBCU because we did not want to be the N word when we walked the campus at night. I visited my cousin at a PWC and they what I was called. In fact, when we play sports against some of the PWC, we repeatedly get called out of our names (slurs if you catch my drift). Why should I have to go through that. BTW, I also went to a college with white people for Grad School. How many people of color had white friends not many, but i did. I was able to "socialize" with white very well. Plus, I get along quite well with white people on my job they love me. They see a kind, concerned, and caring person who has their best interest at heart.
BTW, when it comes to the computer network in my office, guess who the white folks talk to about the problems? Two guys from a HBCUs because they know the job will get done.
