HBCUs, Elitism & the Underdogs: The McKenzie Scott Effect
On this episode of Burn Notice, we shift from politics to the culture. Napalm and Firestarter talk about MacKenzie Scott—a billionaire actually putting her money where her mouth is and dropping millions on HBCUs with no strings attached. But we ask the bigger question: why do the same “elite” HBCUs always get the shine while the smaller schools struggle to survive? We dig into elitism, endowments, and whether the Black community has a responsibility to support the underdogs—the Voorhees, the Paines, and the Fort Valley HBCUs. It’s not just about donations. It’s about remembering where we came from.
🔥 Burn Notice—challenging the mindset, not the community.
