The liberal officials running Hampton University recently announced it would be welcoming 50 to 100 Ukrainian and international students, offering them free tuition, room and board.

The move has been met with mixed reactions, with many agreeing that the freebies should go to Black American students.

“Well, the HBCUs are at it again. Do you think this has ANYTHING to do with all the alleged ‘federal dollars’ they have (allegedly) received?” media personality Black Authority tweeted.

“Wow. An HBCU is giving free rides to people who (1) are violently abusive towards Black people as we have seen in numerous videos and (2) are okay with ‘whites only’ transportation policies. Will Black students be safe when these people are on campus?” tweeted user SoulfulSugar, per the report. 

“Students from the Ukraine should not be allowed to attend Hampton University. I prefer to see more Black Americans at HBCUs. However, the traitors must be removed from the schools need to hit the reset button,” Toni Carter tweeted.

“HBCU’s are offering free room and board to white Ukrainian refugees. Hampton university is giving free room and board to the same Ukrainians that turned their back on African students in a crisis! Cccchhhhhhiiiiiiilllllllleeeeee these schools be performative AF,” tweeted @DonPumGato.
