Anyone can be a friend who looks out for you purely just because of who you are and the character impression you make on them.
So, even as a lover of Black institutions of all sorts, I've learned not to be narrow minded about opportunity. You never know who will be providing it. And definitely don't be a conspiracy theorist and try to guess people's underlying motivations. First of all you can't do it and secondly who cares. Like one of my favorite church songs says, "What God has for me, it is for me." He rules us all, not just African Americans.
Continue to urge young Black collegians everywhere, be they at HBCU's or other campuses, to soak up everything that looks like a connection during their co-ed years. You never know who you'll bump into years down the road 10, 20 or 30 years from now, who used to be a school mate or intern buddy between the ages of 18 and 22, who can open a door for you later. Or maybe you'll be the one.
Happy holiday weekend to all of you at the YBP crew.
