This comes as no surprise though. Just attend any HBCU graduation or a private liberal arts higher education institution graduation because black women are out numbering “all races of women” and “black men” in undergraduates and graduates degrees . As black women, we are the most powerful race of women on this earth. We raise our children by ourselves, not by choice though, we hold the entire black community down, we’re business owners, CEO’s, CFO’s, Executive Directors, School teachers, Homeowners, and most important “mother & father” to our children, so with that being said, Black women will “rule the world” one day, just wait and see.
This men is lying national edcation statistics say 9.7 black women are enrolled in school , yes more than black men but lower black than other races.

I looked at that link. The only table that would apply to this criteria (college enrollments) is Table 5: Type of College and Year Enrolled for College Students 15 Years Old and Over, by Age, Sex, Race, Attendance Status, Control of School, Disability Status, and Enrollment Status: October 2011
Total enrolled (both sexes): 20,397
Whites alone, non-Hispanic: 12,703
Blacks alone: 3,146
Asian alone: 1,204
Hispanic (of any race): 2,953
They say these numbers are in the thousands, so actually these are millions. There were approximately 21 million enrolled in college between 2001 and 2011.
The source you all listed is the US Census Bureau, which is where the NCES pulled their numbers. But, none of the tables reflect that there were even more blacks (or rather female blacks) enrolled compared to any other race.
This source is the US Census Bureau, which is where the NCES pulled their numbers.
Then I looked at just the females
Total enrolled (females): 11,266
Whites alone, non-Hispanic: 6,972
Blacks alone: 1,934
Asian alone: 637
Hispanic (of any race): 1,515
Again, these numbers are in the thousands, so they are actually millions. I do not see where our black women surpass “quantitatively” in enrollment. Can you help me out here? His language is quite ambiguous. Does he mean that enrollment for black women has increased compared to other demographics, or is he saying that currently enrolled there are more? He said he didn’t want to discuss stats, but he’s also using the stats…and I just want to “see it for my self”
