I'm Indian American and wish you all would go back to your own country and stay in your own country. Why can't everyone just stay where they belong. Everyone go back and stay there. God made country for each of us. Just stay where God put you. Easy fix get out of my land.
great video however you compared a public university to a private one. Tulane has a larger endowment due to it being a private college. Try comparing it to Southern, Northwester, Nicholls, Or University of Lafyette. These would be better data points for your funding argument.
You gotta love hearing stuff like “you can’t be racist to white people.” Discrimination based off skin color is racism. It doesn’t matter who it is. If it is ok to have black only spaces why is it wrong to have white only spaces? I’m so sick of the double standards. To be clear I think it’s bad going either way.
Because White people are the majority in America, Most spaces are white spaces. If wp want to have an all white space then fine. I don't think it's racist to want to fit in with a group of people who share a culture with you, you do realize almost every demographic does that right? It's not even about race it's about culture and understanding one another.
I'm also fed with this bs. It's completely contradictory to the words of Martin Luther King Jr and the general sentiment of the civil rights movemen. It's all based on cultural Marxist propaganda designed to increase racial tensions and further divide the nation.
As a Kenyan/African, I have definitely met black Africans who are racist towards white people. And the reason I emphasise on 'black Africans' is because you can be white and African, or South Asian and African. Racism goes both ways and it is abhorent no matter who is doing it.
Its the brainwashed blacks in America who still are mentally stuck in the wrong century that have yet to figure that out. They are still stuck on the Democrats Plantation of division and that is why they falsely refer to themselves as African-Americans instead of Black Americans or simply just Americans. They get really angry when you call Elon Musk an Africa-American even though that is exactly what he is. Facts, logic and common sense are lost on those who would rather worship at the alter of victimhood, than appreciate all they've been given.
Man get with the program: Black People in America need capitalisation because they are a special distinct group of people with an evolving culture based on a sense of perpetual persecution that feeds perpetual privilege (otherwise known as race grift). Jambo by the way (another Kenyan).
Finally someone with a brain! I can confirm from personal experience that immigrant kids experienced more racism from BLACK americans then from whites. So yes black people can be racist when they're racist amongst themselves.
Please define the term "racism"... don't worry I will for you since your incompetent. prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized. The white population is not a minority group since they have been the main antagonist for thousands of years now. Not just that there the overall population of the United States. Therefore you cant be racist to a white male since they are not a minorty. Many people don't understand what racism is but what the term your looking for is prejudiced which is what a minority such as myself is.
If your race is one in power and uses their race to exclusively help themselves and screws other races because they deem them unworthy or a threat while using for their own benefits that’s what the racism like she said those who are “minorities “ or “oppressed” that’s how you experience TRUE racism. TRUE racism is SYSTEMATIC the wealth gap is clearest defining point and education follows RED LINING white folkz pay a lot of money to be predominantly white neighborhoods that’s how white flight occurred. Even medical care quality is factor black women have the biggest mortality rate when it comes to having birth and so much more …… Especially when you continue to benefit from the foundation of that system not mention the CIA admitting to flooding Americas ghettos with crack to fund their wars and like J Edgar Hoover director of FBI saying the black panther party and black unity is single biggest threat to American society a leader of powerful government agency saying this about his own citizens or how mortgage rates are statistically and purposely higher for minorities than whites or how house valuations are lower for minorities I mean I can go on and on. Our military literally bombed a house on America soil on its own citizens in Philly and of course they was black only time in American history that has ever happed. It’s easy to not see racism when you so high up and distracted by privileges and fair treatment. Racism isn’t I don’t like you cause of your skin all that does is cause “emotional damage” at best true racism is something that affects your physical world aka causes “physical damage”
Yes some of these people don’t understand that SYSTEMIC racism is not the only kind of racism. You can very much be racist against any other race, just because it isn’t systemic racism doesn’t make it any less racism
She goes to an HBCU, I guarantee that's what is being taught to her at the school and it's what all her peers think, she's obviously just repeating what she's been taught.
Facts. Anyone defending that "systemic" bs is basically admitting you are racist which is what college students are learning at all college. Why would you integrate with that sort of mindset? It kind of reinforces segregation, which I guess is what some people want.
@@chandleryoung9515systemic racism doesn’t exist in america. the only thing that could be considered systemic racism is affirmative action but that helps minorities so when people say “systemic racism” exists it just means they have a victim mentality and nothing is ever their fault.
As a european watching, I'm amazed how Black African-American manages to segregate themselves with "culture, Safespaces prejudice and this victim mentality" Amazes me really, how racism is onesided. When the definition is discriminating on peoples race.. Ironic really...
Me as a black person part of it is that it’s been instilled literally almost since our birth depending upon where you live at that in a way your skin color will always be the first and foremost thing that you’re judged upon from everybody so therefore if you’re around a whole bunch of folks that look like you and to some degree sound like you then that’s who you should strive to be regardless Of where you came from so I say all that to say is that typically we have a very close minded views that it’s very sad
@schreech7202, it's not that they were innately doing so. Rather, it was a manner of doing so because of the opportunities that were once not accessible. Hence, why HBCUs were a thing in the first place; to provide these opportunities to those who could not access or even have knowledge to use. Still, I would agree that in today's perspective because we are now integrated, some of these ideas such as black spaces seem like an attempt to divide. However, we should still understand that just because the civil rights movement helped for a lot, doesn't mean everything was and is still absolutely perfect. Victim mentality is not good to have, but we have to honest with ourselves when we see inequality and maltreatment in America. That's just my 2 cents.
Dividing people by race is a Psy-op that isn't as effective in Europe as in the US, but it will soon be the case. Greetings from Switzerland, I share your feeling !
@@oyamakhumalo9646I think I heard somewhere that women tend to place more importance on community and people while men tend to pay more attention to just getting stuff done regardless of who it's with. I think maybe that's why. IE guys generally work with people who can get a project done whereas girls generally would work with people who they can connect with even if a project takes a bit longer to get done. It's not a set in stone type thing and every man and woman is different but I think overall this difference is there. Just a thought
You are talking about about segregation for black people to wanting in an environment that they feel connected. Plus your ancestors made and created “segregation “ address them since yall are concerned about it.
@Umutoni35 Imagine thinking one race magically invented racism...The Bantu were killing the Khoison long before white people arrived, and ethnic discrimination has been common between Africans for millenia. You're just straight up indoctrinated.
@@Umutoni35, nothing says connected like cordoning off , segregating yourself based on the melanin in your skins and predatorising white people. Donkey.
"HBCU is historically black, its not like it still has to be black, if they want to come here they can come it's not that big of a deal" I like that guy, that's a good quote
@@jamesroberts3642more than willing to admit I'm wrong, but he said: "HBCU is historically black, it's not like it still has to be black, if they want to come here, you know what I'm saying, they can come, it's not that big of a deal" How am I misinterpreting it? I went back and rewatched cause it was a while ago, but yeah not seeing where I got it wrong, let me know
@@slowspeed1640 YT just told me you reported me as typing "hate speech".....What did I say was hate speech? We live in a world where a B man can literally say "this college should NOT have more wt ppl", and I speak against it, and a person online reports me to YT for saying that's racist, and all-of-a-sudden , me calling out a racist B person is "hate speech". People like you are so damn weak it's pathetic. Talk about "privilege".
@@slowspeed1640 no crap… I know it’s “historically black”…. My point was so obvious… it’s racist to insinuate it should stay that way, and if u don’t agree, simply think about the reverse sentiment. But most people can’t think on that “reverse” level cause of such low education levels that teaches them actual racism and perpetuates it through out every generation
As someone who goes to one of the top HBCUs in the country, i have two things: 1. i am not apposed to other races coming to our schools. I think people are scared of the history or the culture of the school being diminished. I believe that the generational trauma of our history being erased has a big part as to why a lot of students aren’t too keen on being open to other races. I do think that the people who say that white students or other races shouldn’t come to the university need to do research on HBCUs. Most HBCUs were founded by white people and are named after them. They were also not only for black students but Native Americans as well. 2. In my experience, my HBCU gave me the same, if not better resources or opportunities than PWIs. A big misconception of HBCUs is that we don’t offer quality education. Just hearing my sisters experiences about going to a PWIs, i feel very privileged to have gone to the school i am currently at. In conclusion, I think there was a lot of ignorance on PWI vs HBCU debate and i don’t think this video did enough research into why there are misconceptions about HBCU’s, why there are big disparities in the endowments of these schools, and just the history in general.
I have no clue what "PWI" is, but if for some reason it stands for "Predominantly White Institution" then there is something inherently racist in any person who is using that term.
I appreciate how the interviews are not clipped in a manner that makes people look like fools for their position. Its consistent, and the open-ended questions make higher quality discussion. This is cool, and I just subscribed 😊
Exactly. All those "you cant be racist towards white people" people do that by themselves already. So cringe since that sentence in itself is already racist af. But ofc theyd never notice. 😂
strange that she says you cant be racist to white people, right after explaining how she has been discriminated against for her skin tone. She SAID herself that she was getting looks from everybody in the school, now lets say a black person was going to an all white school and getting looks like that, everybody knows that that campus would be prejudiced. the amount of melanin in your skin doesn't change whether or not you are hateful.
Its wild the kinds of things black people can say that would be considered outrageously racist if said by a white person. "It was always white school or nothing because I grew up around blacks and I really wanted to be around people like me and I wanted to learn more about being white"
there’s nothing wrong with that…you can say you want to be around your own people and not be a dick about it. she simply said she wanted to know more about her people and being apart of that community. even if a whit person said that it wouldn’t be wrong.
@@tann_manbruh! They have been saying it. When white people in America tell immigrants to back to Africa, Mexico etc. Even though white people are on land that is not theirs
I like how they refer to her not saying the n word as "not slipping up". Almost as if they think it's some innate urge that we have to suppress. What a load of bs, lmao.
I picked up on that too. So bizarre. Do people really think we're praying for the day that we can insult them as much as they insult themselves. I cringe when I hear a black person call themselves or each other that word. A word that should really have no value at this point in history.
@@Shaddowbanned215 In the interest of fairness of perspective, I grew up in the 90's. The slang form of the n-word was used by almost everyone in many of the friend circles I was around. There is an aspect of language called dialectal slang, and in some ways, people begin to pick up on the speech patterns of those around them and also incorporate it into their own speech. Now that being said: no one I knew who was BIPOC seemed to care at all. The word was literally used the same as "dude" or "bro" or whatever was also used. The racist undertones of the word just did not exist in that context. At all. Nowadays, I realize it pisses some people off...so out of diplomatic respect I almost always choose not to speak my native slang that I grew up with...yet in some ways, I miss the days when there was more offline interaction and less constant instances of faux pas type speech being viewed as racism; mostly because everyone is basically always being recorded or speaking on public social media.
I wish we didn’t need HBCUs or PWIs. I love the history and heritage of HBCUs, but they routinely have smaller endowments than PWIs, generally. Sometimes, they receive less funding from their states than other schools. In MD, a couple HBCUs accused a couple PWIs of copying some inventive majors/programs from them to steal potential students. So, it should be equitable.
HBCU'S do not have smaller endowments. The endowments that they are still owed for decades have been held back and given to PWI'S in full. Vice president Harris changed that.
I never understood how "acting white" was an insult. Because whenever I ask people to describe it, it was acting proper and polite and speaking "proper english." Which to me seemed to be the goal of what you should aim to be in order to articulate your opinions with others and put forth a good first impression.
No it's more like: English people Keep their feelings on the inside. Connect more superficially with friends or family. At least that's what my English friend told me. And my half english boyfriend. He said his family knows nothing about him..... The heart break, his wins, his losses. Whereas my family is very open and honest, it can be a bit chaotic but I know people deeply. I have a Polish background
@@whatrtheodds yeah, I get that and it does suck that people can’t be more open to their close friends and family. But I’m talking about being able to articulate moreso. For example, valley girls use “like” for every other word which makes it really hard to follow what they’re saying because they take so long to get to the point.
@@okamiseele8614 Yeah good language skills is definitely a strength ( I wish I possessed lol) That's probably why a lot of the private schools are called grammar schools...
I saw that all the time in high school. I went to a mostly black school (by circumstance, not design) and the teachers talked properly. I always heard my fellow students saying the black teachers "acted white" because of it. What they didn't realize when they said that, is that they were insinuating that being black means sounding stupid. To this day it makes me laugh AND cry that they were so proud of their ignorance.
Being black andGrowing up In a 70% black school was rough for me since I was constantly told I acted "white", cause I didn't like what they did and I got a long with anyone and everyone and talked and cated properly according to them and was hated for it and people thought I was acting the way I did to fit in when I was just being myself, I know it was wrong now that I'm older but that did cause me to start resting Other black people, but I'm over that now and don't care what people think,
Unfortuately, many black people have this crab bucket mentality. So doing good at school, not doing crime, getting an education and speaking normal English as a black individual can make you be shunned as "acting white"
I went through the same thing growing up. I went to a majority white high school growing up, I'm a product of my environment. I speak how I speak and sound how I sound. The most racism I faced was from other black people, calling me white cause of the way I sounded or would use certain words. I like using words that fit the situation. is that not what education is for, to expand our vocabulary. I don't put on a facade; I'm just being myself. for example, me using the word "facade" would cause a black guy to call me 'uppie' or 'an uncle tom'. now as an adult I don't care what people think of me. my mother, darker than me, taught me to speak properly as the English langue is meant to be spoken. IF you don't like that you can suck the darkest part of my dick lol
I think at the heart of the concern about saying another black person is 'acting white' is the fear that the person may not support black people, and in the worst case, actively work against other black people around them. It is a fear that if you don't like, or at least tolerate the overall culture, that you may try to dismantle the culture or sell out individual people. But this is why it's important for HBCUs to exist. Those same people that were called out for being too white will go to college and meet many other people just like them, and they will also meet people that used to call them out, but now understand the dynamics of the minority experience in this country and truly judge someone by their actions. HBCUs allow a space to preserve Black culture. American culture is essentially white culture with some selectively adopted items from other minority cultures. It is too easy to lose your culture in this country (ask any 2nd generation immigrants) and Black Americans have been holding on tightly, because it's also how we've survived the last 400 years.
One thing about the "You can't be racist towards white people because they're not a minority" argument that never made sense to me: If you live in a city that is mostly black, why do the demographics of the country matter? Local demographics are the deciding factor of who is a minority. With that same logic white people in the US could claim minority status because on a worldwide scale, they are the minority.
Yea, like in Baltimore with the riots caused by the "racist" police department at a time when fully half the police were black, the police captain and chief were black, the mayor was black, both senators and a congressman were black, and the president was black...
In the UK you can be arrested for a racial joke, but not for saying "kill all white people" in Ireland you're labeled a racist if you want to deport foreign criminals, or if you're bothered by the fact that the prime minister said he wants Ireland to be less white. All of western society has this ridiculous double standard, and they're trying to eliminate the white race. They'll openly say "we need to eradicate whiteness" but then call you a white nationalist for pointing it out.
@@frishter no I would never say that black people should stay out of spaces. THATS INSANE. It’s not our skin colors that make us different. It’s the way we grow and who we choose to surround ourselves with.
Tulane’s demographics are representative of the country, or pretty close to it. Calling it “predominantly white” is odd to me. It’s the nature of the country we live in.
@@scipioafricanus5871 that's true of every single university in the United States. Do you think Harvard is representative of Massachusetts? Dartmouth representative of NH? Dartmouth College has almost 16% international students and 10% black students in a state that is only 1.5% black.
umm racism requires systemic power or something... I remember hearing some drivel like that used to explain why black people can't be racist by defintion or something. It was pretty ridiculous, but some people really believe that.
I think she got scared of being judged by the others when the video comes out.. you can tell that she's holding back when answering throughout the video
As a black person, I felt so sad for that white girl at the hbcu. She just looks so uncomfortable and scared to say the wrong thing. She probably knows that her friend group would cancel her if she didn’t regurgitate their talking points.
I saw "I act black" on the thumbnail and I'm like "it's skin color, you can't act it, it's not a personality" . I'm Nigerian, not only am I a weirdo amongst my fellow Nigerians, I'm aware that I'd not fit in with blacks if I moved (at least that's what's portrayed in the media). I mean, many people have seen that Jubilee episode of find the white person, but he won because he ticks every "black" stereotype. Imagine, not drinking purple drink but grape juice makes you white 😂😂😂 it's ridiculous
Being Black AMERICAN goes beyond skin colour. Black American is its own separate ethnic group with its own history, culture and dialect. It’s like how Yorubas and Igbo are in Nigeria. If an Igbo man was to partake in Yoruba culture, you could say they were ‘acting Yoruba’
@@BlueIvory4 I disagree, as it also depends on where in America you are. Whites down south, north, east, and west all have different history (local and relatable), culture, and dialect, and it goes the same way for black people. In my opinion, different cultures are not exclusive to certain races. a black person can fit more into "white" culture and its not "acting white," it's them being who they are, and vice versa for any other race in any other culture. Culture and dialect especially are also influenced by who you are brought up by and around. A black person born in a predominantly white area with parents that fit into that culture and speak proper english is most likely going to act and talk like them while still being technically black american, and once again they aren't acting like anything, that's who they are. This is just me responding to your opinions with my own though, so it's fine if anyone disagrees
Did you know that black soldiers from the US that settled in Germany after WW2 had kids that grew up speaking German and acting German? Culture is not defined by skin color in the slightest.
@@thunderlion6909 I would say that maybe the point is that people who have a certain skin color and behave in a certain way have no justification, they can't just shield behind their skin color or claim that it's ok for them to do something out of the norm or get away with a certain behavior just because they are a minority. It's absurd. No matter what your skin color is, your behavior should not be determined by it. But I guess you're one of those "it's ok when we do it!" type of people.
Please excuse the novel that I wrote here: I went to Xavier for my undergraduate work and pharmacy school. I grew up in North Dakota, and lived in Minneapolis until I was in my late twenties. I’m about as White as you can get, I even (still😂) have a really strong accent that is almost Canadian… think Sarah Palin. I did well in school, skipped two grades, so I graduated at 16 with a nearly perfect score on the ACT. My plan was to go to Tulane for the accelerated pre-med/medical school program, and I got a full scholarship for it. I was going to live with my grandfather, who lived in the area at the time, until I was a little bit older. I hadn’t even been to New Orleans yet at that point, it was the 1990s, and I admit that I was afraid to move thousands of miles away from my immediate family at 16. I quickly realized that I made a huge mistake, and I just got a really good-paying job in the Twin Cities. After about 12 years, I decided that I wanted to do more with my life, so I applied to Xavier, with the intention of becoming a pharmacist. Even though I was in my late twenties when I applied, my solid academic record earned me a full four-year academic scholarship. I was a grownup (they say) unlike when I graduated from high school, and more than ready to leave the frozen tundra behind. I admit that I was really nervous at the beginning. I was a decade older than my classmates when I started, and felt really conspicuous. I learned how to make friends - I was one of those friendless geeks in HS partly because I was shy, and also because my classmates were all at least two years older than me, so the fact that I even had friends was a huge deal for me. I honestly never felt more comfortable with life in general than I was at XULA, and I know that I made the right decision going there. There was an adjustment period, but it was fine. I was a teaching assistant in the chemistry department for several semesters, and the first day of class almost always had one of my students asking me what country I was from because of that “Sarah Palin accent®” and it was fun. Yes, it’s an HBCU. There *were* mostly Black students, but there were quite a few more White students than I expected, as well as a lot of Vietnamese and other Asian students, plus many Middle Eastern students. I’d never had the privilege of getting to know so many great people who had such diverse backgrounds, and I doubt that would have happened had I stayed up in Minneapolis to go to the University of Minnesota. People in New Orleans are much more welcoming than they are in Minneapolis, and I’ve never felt like I’m out of place down here. An additional unrelated thing that I got because I came to New Orleans was meeting my husband, so rather than moving back home after I graduated, I decided to make New Orleans my new home, and I never felt happier in general. I will never be able to sufficiently express my gratitude for the wonderful experience that I had at Xavier. It changed my life for the better in almost every way possible. I met people who have become lifelong friends, met my husband and his family, I have a great career with tons of opportunities, and I have a new home where it rarely even gets below freezing. I love it here, and it was XULA that brought me here.
Thank you for this! I don't know a lot about Xavier University specifically, but I enjoyed watching this. For the most part have not enjoyed the comments very much at all until I got to yours!
inclusion only happens when values are shared tho, i guess that's really the root problem, different culture = different values and norms = different behaviour from the community one's merging with
Right, disclusion means they cannot be friends. So if one group of people are allowed to do their hair certain ways but they force the other not to...they can't be true friends. Or if one group lords it over the other over a word, that isn't mutual respect. Either nobody does it, or everyone can.
“I like THIS white friend” Bro imagine a white person saying “I like THIS black friend” 😭😭 Naw that’s a crazy statement EDIT: cuz people are misunderstanding me. I’m not saying “imagine” like it doesn’t happen; I’m saying imagine cuz it’s just a crazy statement to say in general both ways
@@ecoblitz3655 i did of course but it’s more common than you think. i know many ppl who have dated white ppl and they said these things to them. basically saying even thought they’re black they’re an exception bc they’re “not like the rest”
@ecoblitz3655 We don't have to "imagine" it, it already exist. "I'm not racist, I have black friends". Heck, this line is so popular that it literally has its own Wikipedia entry.
One of the guys said he wanted to go to this school because it's safe to talk about stuff and people won't blow up at him (I'm paraphrasing) -- but doesn't that just mean he wants to be free to say certain things without being challenged? I feel like a huge part of going to college is meeting diverse people, hearing new thoughts and ideas, and learning how to challenge yourself and think critically.
How I took is is he doesn’t want to feel like he can’t truly express himself, which a lot POC feel. While you may feel you have created a safe space it may still not feel safe to some. I get why people go to HBUCs because it comforting being around people that can relate without having to spend extra time explaining things sometimes… it can be exhausting
@@eniola5088 Additionally, as Africans [Blacks] when we do attend PWI's we're often called racial slurs, thrown bananas at, spit on, and called the police on for breathing. An HBCU allows for familiarity, comfort, safety, and a higher opportunity for one to meet a Black spouse
Constantly impressed with this channel. This dude is a masterclass in how to talk about hot button issues intelligently and without just making people mad.
I kinda want to know the required GPA to attend the 2 universities. Think that would introduce more light into the picture. EDIT: From Xavier University website "Xavier does not have a minimum GPA or minimum test requirement for admission. The application review process takes on a holistic approach to review each applicant based on their application and supporting documents" EDIT2: From Tulane University website "Achieve a 31+ on the ACT or 1450 SAT Have a 3.60+ core GPA"
I’m a Black LA Native. I was born in the early 90’s. My Grandfather raised me. His grandmother was a slave. I was brought up on the teachings of Dr. King and President Mandela. It pains me to see my generation of black people become the same kind of racists those people had to fight against. As a Black American I feel bad for the casual racism white people deal with today. We all know what blacks went through but that doesn’t justify how we act.
Umm what did they say that was racist ? They still treated that white girl with respect and she goes to their university without any problems. Unlike white people . 13%percent of the population can’t be more racist then white people .
If you're the among the only few white people at your college that makes you the minority Is it really that much of a stretch to say you could experience racisme ? I know a guy who was the only white guy at his school in Cameroun, people have been racist against him ! We're all human, all the same and it goes for both the good and the bad
I went to a minority-majority school when i was little. only 2 other white males in my grade. I use to get jumped alot, called "white boy/cracker" and told "i cant talk to certain people because they aint like me". What i remember the most is it wasnt the other students my age who initially were the problem. it was the older siblings from the highschool down the street when they saw me after school. they were the ones that taught the younger kids these bad ideas. they showed them how to "treat the white boys" and that they cant be your friends. its a taught, generational mentality.
@@zfritz268that hits close to home. My parents divorced and I went to a school where i ended up the only white kid in my class. It became obvious pretty fast that i was the enemy.
@@zfritz268Me too! When the seniors graduated, all that nonsense started going away. I didn't get that kinda treatment very much when they graduated. I'm just lucky that kinda behavior didn't persist after they left.
Seems very hard to truly become one with each other when some neglect the fact that how they are treated is based on an individual's decisions rather than a collective desire to "make you feel like you don't belong."
It's totally normal and not malicious it's intent, but being in the out group can disadvantages and advantages. When you break it down and trust in the greater consciousness, it's not that complicated and that's the only way forward. Otherwise we just go back.
Amazing work as always! I really appreciate that you give both sides an equal platform to share their views, I really think that’s what today’s society needs. Respect and acceptance for both sides of the coin
Respect bro, keep it up. Baby's mother is a german born white girl from Baltimore. Yes her manerisms reflect an urban culture, but I wouldnt say she is acting black.
An HBCU is definitely not a “black-only college” at all. And as someone who graduated from XULA, they probably are one of the most diverse HBCUs. There are plenty of white, Asian, and other non-black students that go there especially in the doctoral and professional programs.
This right here! I've never understood why the black community in large cities has been so adamant on self segregating themselves from other races. It seems very destructive and is only causing more conflict.
@@mandarue5104 Everyone in our households tells us the same shit over and over. "That's white people shit "you're weird for doing or acting that way" "why do you act/talk white." It starts from a young age. In any "hood" all, or most, of the black folks think the same, and if you don't, then you aren't black enough. At 24 I'm starting to realize my entire family on my dad's side is split, half of them live in a shitty crime ridden area while the other half live in safe neighborhoods, still hear gun shots though because sadly, anywhere there are asshole black folks, people are getting shot at night. Until people start making better choices and getting others to make better choices kids and teenagers will grow up to live in and stay in fucked up areas and encourage others to stay down with them. 1/3 of them will end up in prison, blaming "the system" for them getting caught doing crimes while another 1/3 will get good jobs or make companies or something to leave their shitty areas, and the last 1/3 will stay there and continue the generation in that area all for the cycle to continue again. The first 1/3 will choose to be better once they get out, maybe making enough money and leaving or staying the shitty area, while some of them will just be in and out of prison, some doing so much shit or something bad enough, that they get life.
@@thatsportsguyjason4630 Nope! White majority communities/businesses/colleges exist because white people are a majority population in the country. There are always gonna be more white people around in a vast majority of places in the USA because of this which gives the illusion of self-segregation. The amount of actually unironically racist white people I've met I can count on my fingers.
It's weird how much being around people that look like you and share the same culture is important to everyone. It should be accepted that everyone shares that same sentiment.
@@brandonlemon2060 purposefully making yourself only be around people of your race will feed that racism and to stop that we need to just stop caring about race no matter where and when just ignore it
@@ManSeekingMeaningNo its a fair assessment actually... Everyone prefers to be around people somewhat similar to them, people who generally share the same culture. The moment we accept that reality, the faster the planet will become a better place.
Bro, This was one of the most important videos to-date, KUDOS on your investigative journalism the content itself is epic. Your starting point with the young lady was a powerful message in itself. Blessings to you and continue the Stellar work!!!!✨✨✨✨✨✨
She said that she grew up primarily around black people. It wasn’t a force fit. Ultimately, it was her choice. She said that if she had options to go to a PWI she would’ve gone there. No brainwashing hoss.
As a white person in a Japanese University, I find this very interesting and insightful video. The question “could a white student fully grasp the challenges of being a minority” or “what is acting white” is super hard to answer, especially as a white person with added anxieties of being taken the wrong way on either side of the political spectrum. Of course another layer of nuance is added in my experience as I am fully in a different country, but I definitely think it’s very complicated navigating a space as any minority regardless of what the minority and majority groups are. I think the one thing I’ve noticed comparing my experience to minorities in America as well as other classmates (primarily Chinese or Taiwanese) is that no one experience is exactly identical even when they share common themes (issues with misapplied stereotypes, code switching, micro aggressions, direct and indirect biases, etc.), so it’s more productive not to frame the discussion as an black and white either/or debate but instead of a nuanced interrogation of underlying whys. Also openly sharing one another’s experiences and not downing or diminishing one side’s struggles is crucial. I am so thankful of the insight many of my black and Asian American friends have given me based on their own experiences that truly have taught me a lot about navigating through mental health struggles and a lot of the problems with being a racial minority that I have had to face in my time in Japan. Honestly it’s largely because of open and vulnerable dialogue about the problems and their own insight that I have managed to make it through and actually thrive in my studies.
My main issue is: If the university/college is publicly funded, there shouldn't be any limitations except for gpa, portfolio or other things that mesure performance. If it doesn't receive funds from the government, so it's 100% privately funded, they should be able to do what they want. Having a taxpayer funded college that only allows people from a certain race, background or wtv, shouldn't be legal. Same for religious schools, they shouldn't be funded by the government at all. You want funding ? Follow the curriculum.
@@LifeisaBeautifulting They still do receive federal funding. its even on their website. Now, do we classify student federal loans being used at the school? then it would be over half of their yearly income.
Any race can attend these schools didn't you see the interview of the white student. Most white students are not interested in attending even though they can. The preference is Predominantly white schools.
I really enjoy your content but this was a puff piece. No real questions were asked no real answers were given. Still, it’s a great topic and I applaud your efforts and what you do in general. I’m waiting for the time when we discuss culture instead of race. That’s the key to getting to root of our issues.
@@Ash-nk8lk yes. There’s no real discussion about any racial issues. “What’s it’s like to go to school here?” “Um it’s ok. I get along with everyone” “We love her. I say the N word for her.” No depth that gets to the attitudes between white and black culture in America. No challenging questions.
@@blueischiii1575 precisely my point. Confronting racial issues is very difficult and has only gotten worse over the last 10 years. We can no longer have honest and uncomfortable conversations because the victimhood narrative of opressor vs. oppressed has become the only thing that matters. Truth be damned.
i'm not greatly educated in these matters but looking at these comments on this video suggests to me there's a lot of absence of knowledge for america's history on racial subjects and class. reconstruction in the south is responsible for so much shit most of us aren't aware of. i still need to research way more about that era
This comment section is actually a perfect example of why HBCU’s are necessary. I chose to go to an HBCU over Baylor, St. John’s, Drexel, San Diego State and many other PWI’s. I’ve worked for top companies like Google, Amazon, and Oracle and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this was because of my HBCU specifically. The education is the same. Doing a paper on a school issued mac vs a school issued Lenovo doesn’t really matter it’s still a paper. Our professors are thought leaders as well. So for a person to say “the education is just not there” is false and conveys deep self hatred.
@@sumayyahadetunmbi4347proud graduate of Morehouse College. People will say anything disparaging that they can towards black establishments. Don’t believe the BS.
The literal DEFINITION of RACISM. So much for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights" Article 2. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
Its kind of a relic of (recent) history, back when it was Tulane and other big schools that were excluding blacks, so Xavier and other HBCUs where their only options. HBCUs don't exclude any one, more so that they cater to a certain demographic, but all are certainly welcome. Hell, there are a few HBCUs that have turned majority white in enrollment.
@@dutchhondarebelBecause the American society was literally built on race.. everything has been about RACE SINCE the very beginning of the good ole USA
Thats because Germany is largely racially and culturally homogeneous... Though historically race in Europe was veiwed differently due to that. And you all are lucky for that. Extreme Cultural diversity kinda sucks.
My mother taught at an inner city public college, she was also on the admissions board and counseled students who wished to come to the program (she taught physical therapy). Every black student that went to an HBCU she told to take extra classes elsewhere. Why? They routinely underperformed. They just were outright unprepared. The only exceptions were small, private, liberal arts HBCUs. Those students were excellent. From her experience, the trend appeared to be that the students felt comfortable at these universities, but they didn't learn enough to go to professional school, especially medicine. Also, my mother is black. She wanted to see other black people succeed, so she told them the truth.
Racism is the ability to use race to oppress and subjugate on the basis of race. Words only matter to feelings but have no power when jobs, education, loans, housing, etc are involved which matters when one group has had that power. Black people were not those people til this day...Black people speaking for themselves and preferring themselves is more current then we think. We have always had to think about others while others have freely thought about themselves....HBCUs were started for the newly freed slaves who absolutely denied education prior to emancipation proclamation (i.e. Black Codes) and could NOT attend the PWIs that were created for mainly white men.
@@Red_Ryan_Red The guy was asking us the viewers is it a form of segregation because the college is predominantly black. He asked some people on campus about it and there response was no they didn’t think white people should come to the college but some said it was ok. I was speaking to the people that said white people shouldn’t go to an HBC.
This was interesting. My only takeaway (or what I’m left thinking/questioning) is what careers are they preparing for that would make an HBCU worth it? I heard a lot about socializing but not about career prep. I’m curious!
@@rty3115 that’s what I’m still curious about. I heard a lot about how an HBCU feels good. As someone who works with young people - specifically career guidance - I would have like to know about their choices. College usually prepares you for a career so I’m interested in what preparatory courses were offered and if there was an advantage over going to a traditional college.
@@rty3115 and I disagree because it’s relevant when you are comparing your academic experience at a non-traditional college. I would say not only is it necessary to discuss but highly related to the topic of choosing a HBCU. I think the video would have been more informative and helpful to someone who is thinking about attending. I watched from an educator’s perspective so maybe I would have had more thought provoking questions. Overall the video was interesting but left a lot of questions to be answered. Hope you’re not offended by my line of thinking. I think young people should be openminded but realistic about their career goals. University has the ability to change someone’s life for good or bad. Education and debt both in one choice. God bless you and your family yeah
You wanna be around people who have the same or similar cultural values and beliefs around you. While there should places that cater to certain cultures and groups they shouldn’t be exclusionary. We live in a world now especially here in the states it’s damn near impossible to not be around different cultures and people
My roomie taught me how to fry chicken she's white from Texas. Everybody loves fried chicken , Indians, Asians Africans, Europeans. What's not to like?!
@@HosCreates Oh I love fried chicken too. It's just a stereotype for black Americans to love fried chicken more than the average person and I was joking about that, but I have no ill will.
@OohlalaHolly I was addressing the dismal graduation rates of predominantly Blk Institutes. Hence why, despite DEI, the graduation rates have further collapsed.
White parent of a proud, Black XULA grad. We sent her there to experience her culture after growing up in predominantly White environments. It didn’t hurt that it is an excellent school. This video is very needed. I don’t agree with everything, but it makes people think, and gets important conversations going. America has an illness, it’s called racism. It is not going away because we ignore it, or pretend it’s not there. Thanks for creating this video and dialogue!
Human beings are inherently tribal by nature. It's natural for the majority population to want to be with their own. To raise their children in an environment that is suitable for their needs. It's a bit odd for someone to choose to raise a child that doesn't look like them, it's a form of ethnomasochism!
@@thebostonguitarist7886 LOL. No one is born a racist. It must be taught. Racism=ignorance+hate. To make an accurate diagnosis, one must conduct an interview with a thorough assessment.
It’s very beneficial to communicate and surround yourself with people who have diverse perspectives. Otherwise you will be doomed with ignorance and have a limited mindset. This video reassured me of that which is why I chose my PWI in the first place. Not to say that HBCU’s are inferior to PWI’s.
Race is the last thing you should worry about when considering your education. If u want a community or sense of culture, you join a club of people with similar interests and goals. A black person that's into rap music and lives the sort of lifestyle associated with the genre is not gonna relate to a black person that's a punk and listens to hardcore punk. Same with white people. That's why the school stereotypes were always things like: the jock, the nerd, the popular, the outcast, etc. Not the black one, the white one, the yellow, the red, the brown.. when you have a school that has a significantly large population of one race, that's when you get people talking about the minority race in the school.
I loved my experience at an HBCU and wouldn't change it for anything in the world. I don't care who else goes there, I know that white students are not going to be there if they aren't comfortable in Black spaces. For me it was the sense of community and feeling comfortable in my own skin, and being surrounded by others who have had similar lived experiences. The things thst shape you and make you who you are, those things are understood by other Black people without needing to explain it. I saw a comment where a person said that we are segregating ourselves and another one that said that we view everything through the lens of race.I disagree that we are segregating ourselves and I agree that we view everything through the lens of race. Even if we don't want to, because it's a necessity. As much as people would like to believe that racism doesn't exist or isn't as bad as it was 50 years ago, it does still exist. Just because there isn't a sign saying whites only at the entrance of a building it doesn't mean that we are welcomed and wanted there. I grew up in Oregon and there are cities that we don't go to. For the most part you won't see a single Black person in eastern and southern Oregon because we aren't safe there. It's a luxury to not have to think about race, and it's a luxury that I don't have. Although I wish I did.
They don’t get it. Look how you have to explain it now. It’s always Asians and stuff worried about what we’re doing despite not having the same extensive history. These are e the people who dismantled Affirmative Action, and are going after other stuff. 🤷🏾♂️
I don't like how they all think... Segregation is NOT good. We need to all live together to make a country and a planet better for all. Stop talking about "safe space", you don't need that sht when everybody is mixed and live together. Come tu Europe, you will se that peoples are more mixed, and it's better, we learn from each other, and it's cool.

great video however you compared a public university to a private one. Tulane has a larger endowment due to it being a private college. Try comparing it to Southern, Northwester, Nicholls, Or University of Lafyette. These would be better data points for your funding argument.
You gotta love hearing stuff like “you can’t be racist to white people.” Discrimination based off skin color is racism. It doesn’t matter who it is.
If it is ok to have black only spaces why is it wrong to have white only spaces? I’m so sick of the double standards. To be clear I think it’s bad going either way.
Because White people are the majority in America, Most spaces are white spaces. If wp want to have an all white space then fine.
I don't think it's racist to want to fit in with a group of people who share a culture with you, you do realize almost every demographic does that right? It's not even about race it's about culture and understanding one another.
White people were/are also discriminatory to other white people. Look at the Irish in the US.
I'm also fed with this bs. It's completely contradictory to the words of Martin Luther King Jr and the general sentiment of the civil rights movemen. It's all based on cultural Marxist propaganda designed to increase racial tensions and further divide the nation.

@@hansklok3564 it's Canada and Europe too.
As a Kenyan/African, I have definitely met black Africans who are racist towards white people. And the reason I emphasise on 'black Africans' is because you can be white and African, or South Asian and African. Racism goes both ways and it is abhorent no matter who is doing it.
Awww support and love. AMEN I Love Kenya, grew up there for a while
Its the brainwashed blacks in America who still are mentally stuck in the wrong century that have yet to figure that out. They are still stuck on the Democrats Plantation of division and that is why they falsely refer to themselves as African-Americans instead of Black Americans or simply just Americans. They get really angry when you call Elon Musk an Africa-American even though that is exactly what he is. Facts, logic and common sense are lost on those who would rather worship at the alter of victimhood, than appreciate all they've been given.
Man get with the program: Black People in America need capitalisation because they are a special distinct group of people with an evolving culture based on a sense of perpetual persecution that feeds perpetual privilege (otherwise known as race grift). Jambo by the way (another Kenyan).
Tether babble......
Finally someone with a brain! I can confirm from personal experience that immigrant kids experienced more racism from BLACK americans then from whites. So yes black people can be racist when they're racist amongst themselves.
You can’t be racist to a group because they have a certain skin color is literally the most racist mindset to have.
They would join Axis if it was still around.
Please define the term "racism"... don't worry I will for you since your incompetent.
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
The white population is not a minority group since they have been the main antagonist for thousands of years now. Not just that there the overall population of the United States.
Therefore you cant be racist to a white male since they are not a minorty.
Many people don't understand what racism is but what the term your looking for is prejudiced which is what a minority such as myself is.
yes that's why blacks are curious to why whites care so much about about a group of people that they want nothing to do with......
It's amazing how many stupid college kids actually believe this. Our education system is garage.
If your race is one in power and uses their race to exclusively help themselves and screws other races because they deem them unworthy or a threat while using for their own benefits that’s what the racism like she said those who are “minorities “ or “oppressed” that’s how you experience TRUE racism. TRUE racism is SYSTEMATIC the wealth gap is clearest defining point and education follows RED LINING white folkz pay a lot of money to be predominantly white neighborhoods that’s how white flight occurred. Even medical care quality is factor black women have the biggest mortality rate when it comes to having birth and so much more …… Especially when you continue to benefit from the foundation of that system not mention the CIA admitting to flooding Americas ghettos with crack to fund their wars and like J Edgar Hoover director of FBI saying the black panther party and black unity is single biggest threat to American society a leader of powerful government agency saying this about his own citizens or how mortgage rates are statistically and purposely higher for minorities than whites or how house valuations are lower for minorities I mean I can go on and on. Our military literally bombed a house on America soil on its own citizens in Philly and of course they was black only time in American history that has ever happed. It’s easy to not see racism when you so high up and distracted by privileges and fair treatment. Racism isn’t I don’t like you cause of your skin all that does is cause “emotional damage” at best true racism is something that affects your physical world aka causes “physical damage”
You can be racist towards any race, to clame that one race can't experience racism is racist within itself
Yes some of these people don’t understand that SYSTEMIC racism is not the only kind of racism. You can very much be racist against any other race, just because it isn’t systemic racism doesn’t make it any less racism

As a european watching, I'm amazed how Black African-American manages to segregate themselves with "culture, Safespaces prejudice and this victim mentality"
Amazes me really, how racism is onesided. When the definition is discriminating on peoples race.. Ironic really...
Me as a black person part of it is that it’s been instilled literally almost since our birth depending upon where you live at that in a way your skin color will always be the first and foremost thing that you’re judged upon from everybody so therefore if you’re around a whole bunch of folks that look like you and to some degree sound like you then that’s who you should strive to be regardless Of where you came from so I say all that to say is that typically we have a very close minded views that it’s very sad
@@flyguy7825white people care way less about skin than blacks
@schreech7202, it's not that they were innately doing so. Rather, it was a manner of doing so because of the opportunities that were once not accessible. Hence, why HBCUs were a thing in the first place; to provide these opportunities to those who could not access or even have knowledge to use. Still, I would agree that in today's perspective because we are now integrated, some of these ideas such as black spaces seem like an attempt to divide. However, we should still understand that just because the civil rights movement helped for a lot, doesn't mean everything was and is still absolutely perfect. Victim mentality is not good to have, but we have to honest with ourselves when we see inequality and maltreatment in America. That's just my 2 cents.
Dividing people by race is a Psy-op that isn't as effective in Europe as in the US, but it will soon be the case. Greetings from Switzerland, I share your feeling !

As someone who goes to one of the top HBCUs in the country, i have two things:
1. i am not apposed to other races coming to our schools. I think people are scared of the history or the culture of the school being diminished. I believe that the generational trauma of our history being erased has a big part as to why a lot of students aren’t too keen on being open to other races. I do think that the people who say that white students or other races shouldn’t come to the university need to do research on HBCUs. Most HBCUs were founded by white people and are named after them. They were also not only for black students but Native Americans as well.
2. In my experience, my HBCU gave me the same, if not better resources or opportunities than PWIs. A big misconception of HBCUs is that we don’t offer quality education. Just hearing my sisters experiences about going to a PWIs, i feel very privileged to have gone to the school i am currently at.
In conclusion, I think there was a lot of ignorance on PWI vs HBCU debate and i don’t think this video did enough research into why there are misconceptions about HBCU’s, why there are big disparities in the endowments of these schools, and just the history in general.
Thanks for watching and fair feedback. Yeah absolutely we definitely could have gone deeper for sure - I appreciate you sharing your experiences tho 🤝
HBCUs by their definition are racist and yes anyone, of any color can be racist to anyone who differs from them. Look it up.
yeah, thanks a lot for this perspective
I have no clue what "PWI" is, but if for some reason it stands for "Predominantly White Institution" then there is something inherently racist in any person who is using that term.
Great info from your comment. Thank you for enlightening me more on the topic.

strange that she says you cant be racist to white people, right after explaining how she has been discriminated against for her skin tone. She SAID herself that she was getting looks from everybody in the school, now lets say a black person was going to an all white school and getting looks like that, everybody knows that that campus would be prejudiced. the amount of melanin in your skin doesn't change whether or not you are hateful.

Now that being said: no one I knew who was BIPOC seemed to care at all. The word was literally used the same as "dude" or "bro" or whatever was also used. The racist undertones of the word just did not exist in that context. At all.
Nowadays, I realize it pisses some people off...so out of diplomatic respect I almost always choose not to speak my native slang that I grew up with...yet in some ways, I miss the days when there was more offline interaction and less constant instances of faux pas type speech being viewed as racism; mostly because everyone is basically always being recorded or speaking on public social media.
@@py_a_thonmy white friends and I would even call eachother "nig" "Niggy" on eachothers Facebook pages no less. No issue. Things have changed lol
I wish we didn’t need HBCUs or PWIs. I love the history and heritage of HBCUs, but they routinely have smaller endowments than PWIs, generally. Sometimes, they receive less funding from their states than other schools. In MD, a couple HBCUs accused a couple PWIs of copying some inventive majors/programs from them to steal potential students.
So, it should be equitable.
HBCU'S do not have smaller endowments. The endowments that they are still owed for decades have been held back and given to PWI'S in full. Vice president Harris changed that.
I never understood how "acting white" was an insult. Because whenever I ask people to describe it, it was acting proper and polite and speaking "proper english." Which to me seemed to be the goal of what you should aim to be in order to articulate your opinions with others and put forth a good first impression.
No it's more like: English people Keep their feelings on the inside. Connect more superficially with friends or family. At least that's what my English friend told me. And my half english boyfriend. He said his family knows nothing about him..... The heart break, his wins, his losses.
Whereas my family is very open and honest, it can be a bit chaotic but I know people deeply. I have a Polish background
@@whatrtheodds yeah, I get that and it does suck that people can’t be more open to their close friends and family. But I’m talking about being able to articulate moreso. For example, valley girls use “like” for every other word which makes it really hard to follow what they’re saying because they take so long to get to the point.
@@okamiseele8614 Yeah good language skills is definitely a strength ( I wish I possessed lol) That's probably why a lot of the private schools are called
grammar schools...
The insult is being white does not make you inherently proper. That’s the foolishness behind it
I saw that all the time in high school. I went to a mostly black school (by circumstance, not design) and the teachers talked properly. I always heard my fellow students saying the black teachers "acted white" because of it. What they didn't realize when they said that, is that they were insinuating that being black means sounding stupid. To this day it makes me laugh AND cry that they were so proud of their ignorance.
Being black andGrowing up In a 70% black school was rough for me since I was constantly told I acted "white", cause I didn't like what they did and I got a long with anyone and everyone and talked and cated properly according to them and was hated for it and people thought I was acting the way I did to fit in when I was just being myself, I know it was wrong now that I'm older but that did cause me to start resting Other black people, but I'm over that now and don't care what people think,
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I hope you're thriving now and living your best life.
Unfortuately, many black people have this crab bucket mentality. So doing good at school, not doing crime, getting an education and speaking normal English as a black individual can make you be shunned as "acting white"
I can absolutely relate. A lot of the time black people are their own worst enemies.
I went through the same thing growing up. I went to a majority white high school growing up, I'm a product of my environment. I speak how I speak and sound how I sound. The most racism I faced was from other black people, calling me white cause of the way I sounded or would use certain words. I like using words that fit the situation. is that not what education is for, to expand our vocabulary. I don't put on a facade; I'm just being myself.
for example, me using the word "facade" would cause a black guy to call me 'uppie' or 'an uncle tom'. now as an adult I don't care what people think of me. my mother, darker than me, taught me to speak properly as the English langue is meant to be spoken. IF you don't like that you can suck the darkest part of my dick lol
I think at the heart of the concern about saying another black person is 'acting white' is the fear that the person may not support black people, and in the worst case, actively work against other black people around them. It is a fear that if you don't like, or at least tolerate the overall culture, that you may try to dismantle the culture or sell out individual people.
But this is why it's important for HBCUs to exist. Those same people that were called out for being too white will go to college and meet many other people just like them, and they will also meet people that used to call them out, but now understand the dynamics of the minority experience in this country and truly judge someone by their actions.
HBCUs allow a space to preserve Black culture. American culture is essentially white culture with some selectively adopted items from other minority cultures. It is too easy to lose your culture in this country (ask any 2nd generation immigrants) and Black Americans have been holding on tightly, because it's also how we've survived the last 400 years.
One thing about the "You can't be racist towards white people because they're not a minority" argument that never made sense to me: If you live in a city that is mostly black, why do the demographics of the country matter? Local demographics are the deciding factor of who is a minority. With that same logic white people in the US could claim minority status because on a worldwide scale, they are the minority.
Recently been trying to bench press over 500 pounds…

@JamesHoss-hr1jq nice
Yea, like in Baltimore with the riots caused by the "racist" police department at a time when fully half the police were black, the police captain and chief were black, the mayor was black, both senators and a congressman were black, and the president was black...

I saw "I act black" on the thumbnail and I'm like "it's skin color, you can't act it, it's not a personality" . I'm Nigerian, not only am I a weirdo amongst my fellow Nigerians, I'm aware that I'd not fit in with blacks if I moved (at least that's what's portrayed in the media). I mean, many people have seen that Jubilee episode of find the white person, but he won because he ticks every "black" stereotype. Imagine, not drinking purple drink but grape juice makes you white 😂😂😂 it's ridiculous
Being Black AMERICAN goes beyond skin colour. Black American is its own separate ethnic group with its own history, culture and dialect. It’s like how Yorubas and Igbo are in Nigeria. If an Igbo man was to partake in Yoruba culture, you could say they were ‘acting Yoruba’
@@BlueIvory4 I disagree, as it also depends on where in America you are. Whites down south, north, east, and west all have different history (local and relatable), culture, and dialect, and it goes the same way for black people. In my opinion, different cultures are not exclusive to certain races. a black person can fit more into "white" culture and its not "acting white," it's them being who they are, and vice versa for any other race in any other culture. Culture and dialect especially are also influenced by who you are brought up by and around. A black person born in a predominantly white area with parents that fit into that culture and speak proper english is most likely going to act and talk like them while still being technically black american, and once again they aren't acting like anything, that's who they are. This is just me responding to your opinions with my own though, so it's fine if anyone disagrees

Yeah that’s what I was gonna say, I think it’s more accurate to say "acting culture" since humans are influenced by their surroundings and lot.
Facts
What your point?
@@thunderlion6909 I would say that maybe the point is that people who have a certain skin color and behave in a certain way have no justification, they can't just shield behind their skin color or claim that it's ok for them to do something out of the norm or get away with a certain behavior just because they are a minority. It's absurd. No matter what your skin color is, your behavior should not be determined by it.
But I guess you're one of those "it's ok when we do it!" type of people.
The Left ignores Thomas Sowell because he’s factual and makes sense.
Please excuse the novel that I wrote here:
I went to Xavier for my undergraduate work and pharmacy school. I grew up in North Dakota, and lived in Minneapolis until I was in my late twenties. I’m about as White as you can get, I even (still😂) have a really strong accent that is almost Canadian… think Sarah Palin. I did well in school, skipped two grades, so I graduated at 16 with a nearly perfect score on the ACT. My plan was to go to Tulane for the accelerated pre-med/medical school program, and I got a full scholarship for it. I was going to live with my grandfather, who lived in the area at the time, until I was a little bit older. I hadn’t even been to New Orleans yet at that point, it was the 1990s, and I admit that I was afraid to move thousands of miles away from my immediate family at 16. I quickly realized that I made a huge mistake, and I just got a really good-paying job in the Twin Cities. After about 12 years, I decided that I wanted to do more with my life, so I applied to Xavier, with the intention of becoming a pharmacist. Even though I was in my late twenties when I applied, my solid academic record earned me a full four-year academic scholarship. I was a grownup (they say) unlike when I graduated from high school, and more than ready to leave the frozen tundra behind. I admit that I was really nervous at the beginning. I was a decade older than my classmates when I started, and felt really conspicuous. I learned how to make friends - I was one of those friendless geeks in HS partly because I was shy, and also because my classmates were all at least two years older than me, so the fact that I even had friends was a huge deal for me. I honestly never felt more comfortable with life in general than I was at XULA, and I know that I made the right decision going there. There was an adjustment period, but it was fine. I was a teaching assistant in the chemistry department for several semesters, and the first day of class almost always had one of my students asking me what country I was from because of that “Sarah Palin accent®” and it was fun. Yes, it’s an HBCU. There *were* mostly Black students, but there were quite a few more White students than I expected, as well as a lot of Vietnamese and other Asian students, plus many Middle Eastern students. I’d never had the privilege of getting to know so many great people who had such diverse backgrounds, and I doubt that would have happened had I stayed up in Minneapolis to go to the University of Minnesota.
People in New Orleans are much more welcoming than they are in Minneapolis, and I’ve never felt like I’m out of place down here. An additional unrelated thing that I got because I came to New Orleans was meeting my husband, so rather than moving back home after I graduated, I decided to make New Orleans my new home, and I never felt happier in general.
I will never be able to sufficiently express my gratitude for the wonderful experience that I had at Xavier. It changed my life for the better in almost every way possible. I met people who have become lifelong friends, met my husband and his family, I have a great career with tons of opportunities, and I have a new home where it rarely even gets below freezing. I love it here, and it was XULA that brought me here.
This is a really nice life experience, thanks for sharing your perspective

I love that most of these young people are open to diversity/inclusion, it's the division that will keep racism going.

They're going against what Martin Luther King Jr. fought for.
Right, disclusion means they cannot be friends. So if one group of people are allowed to do their hair certain ways but they force the other not to...they can't be true friends. Or if one group lords it over the other over a word, that isn't mutual respect. Either nobody does it, or everyone can.

Heck, this line is so popular that it literally has its own Wikipedia entry.
One of the guys said he wanted to go to this school because it's safe to talk about stuff and people won't blow up at him (I'm paraphrasing) -- but doesn't that just mean he wants to be free to say certain things without being challenged? I feel like a huge part of going to college is meeting diverse people, hearing new thoughts and ideas, and learning how to challenge yourself and think critically.
Not really, it's just about learning a skill to get a job. If you want to learn about other people and stuff, join the military.
How I took is is he doesn’t want to feel like he can’t truly express himself, which a lot POC feel. While you may feel you have created a safe space it may still not feel safe to some. I get why people go to HBUCs because it comforting being around people that can relate without having to spend extra time explaining things sometimes… it can be exhausting

As a white person in a Japanese University, I find this very interesting and insightful video.
The question “could a white student fully grasp the challenges of being a minority” or “what is acting white” is super hard to answer, especially as a white person with added anxieties of being taken the wrong way on either side of the political spectrum. Of course another layer of nuance is added in my experience as I am fully in a different country, but I definitely think it’s very complicated navigating a space as any minority regardless of what the minority and majority groups are. I think the one thing I’ve noticed comparing my experience to minorities in America as well as other classmates (primarily Chinese or Taiwanese) is that no one experience is exactly identical even when they share common themes (issues with misapplied stereotypes, code switching, micro aggressions, direct and indirect biases, etc.), so it’s more productive not to frame the discussion as an black and white either/or debate but instead of a nuanced interrogation of underlying whys.
Also openly sharing one another’s experiences and not downing or diminishing one side’s struggles is crucial. I am so thankful of the insight many of my black and Asian American friends have given me based on their own experiences that truly have taught me a lot about navigating through mental health struggles and a lot of the problems with being a racial minority that I have had to face in my time in Japan. Honestly it’s largely because of open and vulnerable dialogue about the problems and their own insight that I have managed to make it through and actually thrive in my studies.
You are a minority in Japan. What is Japan doing to change this? Meanwhile in the USA, just under half are white, the rest are POC.
My main issue is:
If the university/college is publicly funded, there shouldn't be any limitations except for gpa, portfolio or other things that mesure performance. If it doesn't receive funds from the government, so it's 100% privately funded, they should be able to do what they want. Having a taxpayer funded college that only allows people from a certain race, background or wtv, shouldn't be legal. Same for religious schools, they shouldn't be funded by the government at all. You want funding ? Follow the curriculum.
Xavier is privately funded
@@LifeisaBeautifulting They still do receive federal funding. its even on their website. Now, do we classify student federal loans being used at the school? then it would be over half of their yearly income.

@@blueischiii1575 precisely my point. Confronting racial issues is very difficult and has only gotten worse over the last 10 years. We can no longer have honest and uncomfortable conversations because the victimhood narrative of opressor vs. oppressed has become the only thing that matters. Truth be damned.
i'm not greatly educated in these matters but looking at these comments on this video suggests to me there's a lot of absence of knowledge for america's history on racial subjects and class. reconstruction in the south is responsible for so much shit most of us aren't aware of. i still need to research way more about that era
Not him starting with a shot of the fried chicken bro 💀
I really liked this vid!! I love the concept of turning these experiences into investigative journalism!!! Keep going!!!
This comment section is actually a perfect example of why HBCU’s are necessary. I chose to go to an HBCU over Baylor, St. John’s, Drexel, San Diego State and many other PWI’s. I’ve worked for top companies like Google, Amazon, and Oracle and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this was because of my HBCU specifically. The education is the same. Doing a paper on a school issued mac vs a school issued Lenovo doesn’t really matter it’s still a paper. Our professors are thought leaders as well. So for a person to say “the education is just not there” is false and conveys deep self hatred.
oh, thanks for these, I was actually searching in the comment for a perspective of someone that wents to HBCU college

HBCU grad here as well. Winston-Salem State in NC. I was prepared for my doctoral program and I’m a researcher & professor now.
Bro no one in this comment section understands why HBCU’s exist and Gen literally explained it too.
They exist so you can hang out, twerk, and talk about whypepo

The literal DEFINITION of RACISM. So much for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights" Article 2. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
Bro what. I live in Germany. This is so far from reality for me.
Same, the thought of ''race exclusive' schools is so odd
Its kind of a relic of (recent) history, back when it was Tulane and other big schools that were excluding blacks, so Xavier and other HBCUs where their only options. HBCUs don't exclude any one, more so that they cater to a certain demographic, but all are certainly welcome. Hell, there are a few HBCUs that have turned majority white in enrollment.
@@dutchhondarebelBecause the American society was literally built on race.. everything has been about RACE SINCE the very beginning of the good ole USA
Thats because Germany is largely racially and culturally homogeneous... Though historically race in Europe was veiwed differently due to that. And you all are lucky for that. Extreme Cultural diversity kinda sucks.
Yeah the germans woukd never have done that silly americans
1:28 don’t say that again 💀
Gen will hit 1M subs in no time
My mother taught at an inner city public college, she was also on the admissions board and counseled students who wished to come to the program (she taught physical therapy). Every black student that went to an HBCU she told to take extra classes elsewhere. Why? They routinely underperformed. They just were outright unprepared. The only exceptions were small, private, liberal arts HBCUs. Those students were excellent. From her experience, the trend appeared to be that the students felt comfortable at these universities, but they didn't learn enough to go to professional school, especially medicine. Also, my mother is black. She wanted to see other black people succeed, so she told them the truth.
Meaning your biracial 😂
If you count my British great, great grandfather on my dad's side I guess 🤷@@1on1AllstarsGames
Racism is the ability to use race to oppress and subjugate on the basis of race. Words only matter to feelings but have no power when jobs, education, loans, housing, etc are involved which matters when one group has had that power. Black people were not those people til this day...Black people speaking for themselves and preferring themselves is more current then we think. We have always had to think about others while others have freely thought about themselves....HBCUs were started for the newly freed slaves who absolutely denied education prior to emancipation proclamation (i.e. Black Codes) and could NOT attend the PWIs that were created for mainly white men.
8:43 I agree 100 percent. I also find value in being around people that look like me.

As a HBCU grad (TSU, 1997) we are not weak , nor are the schools safe spaces. Her comments is completely wild.

My sister left Howard University because she didn’t like the vibe there. She’s black.
Maybe she should've tried FAMU
Exactly, it is segregation. We don’t like it when it’s done to us so we shouldn’t do it. It’s not right either way.
What are you talking about?
@@Red_Ryan_Red The guy was asking us the viewers is it a form of segregation because the college is predominantly black. He asked some people on campus about it and there response was no they didn’t think white people should come to the college but some said it was ok. I was speaking to the people that said white people shouldn’t go to an HBC.
@@justsaying5633they shouldnt
@@justsaying5633HBCU SHOULD REMAIN THE WAY IT IS STFU
Also, it's a statistical fact that the government has been withholding funding from all HBCUs over the past 70 to 100 years
This was interesting.
My only takeaway (or what I’m left thinking/questioning) is what careers are they preparing for that would make an HBCU worth it? I heard a lot about socializing but not about career prep. I’m curious!
notice how he didn’t ask them about their careers ? doesn’t seem relevant to the purpose of the video yeah?
@@rty3115 that’s what I’m still curious about. I heard a lot about how an HBCU feels good. As someone who works with young people - specifically career guidance - I would have like to know about their choices. College usually prepares you for a career so I’m interested in what preparatory courses were offered and if there was an advantage over going to a traditional college.
@@RuffiRaggaMuffi get what you mean but i don’t think it was relevant for his purpose of the video
@@RuffiRaggaMufftheir careers are fine
@@rty3115 and I disagree because it’s relevant when you are comparing your academic experience at a non-traditional college. I would say not only is it necessary to discuss but highly related to the topic of choosing a HBCU. I think the video would have been more informative and helpful to someone who is thinking about attending. I watched from an educator’s perspective so maybe I would have had more thought provoking questions. Overall the video was interesting but left a lot of questions to be answered. Hope you’re not offended by my line of thinking. I think young people should be openminded but realistic about their career goals. University has the ability to change someone’s life for good or bad. Education and debt both in one choice. God bless you and your family yeah
You wanna be around people who have the same or similar cultural values and beliefs around you. While there should places that cater to certain cultures and groups they shouldn’t be exclusionary. We live in a world now especially here in the states it’s damn near impossible to not be around different cultures and people
love the unbiased content. Keep it up!
Ain't no way he went to their apartment and they were frying chicken 💀
Wonder what the odds of that were honestly
😂
My roomie taught me how to fry chicken she's white from Texas. Everybody loves fried chicken , Indians, Asians Africans, Europeans. What's not to like?!
@@HosCreates Oh I love fried chicken too. It's just a stereotype for black Americans to love fried chicken more than the average person and I was joking about that, but I have no ill will.
@@HosCreatesExactly! We like one of the best (tasting) foods on this planet.
Xavier U. = 51% graduation rate, Tulane = 86% graduation rate.
What’s your point?

Predominantly Blk institute often have the lowest graduation rates. As per statistics.

I was addressing the dismal graduation rates of predominantly Blk Institutes. Hence why, despite DEI, the graduation rates have further collapsed.

Americans care too much about race… this is such a crazy concept to me coming from abroad.
6:09 my man said that “my wife” lol like borat
White parent of a proud, Black XULA grad. We sent her there to experience her culture after growing up in predominantly White environments. It didn’t hurt that it is an excellent school. This video is very needed. I don’t agree with everything, but it makes people think, and gets important conversations going. America has an illness, it’s called racism. It is not going away because we ignore it, or pretend it’s not there. Thanks for creating this video and dialogue!
Love this comment thanks for sharing
Human beings are inherently tribal by nature. It's natural for the majority population to want to be with their own. To raise their children in an environment that is suitable for their needs. It's a bit odd for someone to choose to raise a child that doesn't look like them, it's a form of ethnomasochism!
@@thebostonguitarist7886 LOL. No one is born a racist. It must be taught. Racism=ignorance+hate. To make an accurate diagnosis, one must conduct an interview with a thorough assessment.
It’s very beneficial to communicate and surround yourself with people who have diverse perspectives. Otherwise you will be doomed with ignorance and have a limited mindset. This video reassured me of that which is why I chose my PWI in the first place. Not to say that HBCU’s are inferior to PWI’s.
Race is the last thing you should worry about when considering your education. If u want a community or sense of culture, you join a club of people with similar interests and goals. A black person that's into rap music and lives the sort of lifestyle associated with the genre is not gonna relate to a black person that's a punk and listens to hardcore punk. Same with white people. That's why the school stereotypes were always things like: the jock, the nerd, the popular, the outcast, etc. Not the black one, the white one, the yellow, the red, the brown.. when you have a school that has a significantly large population of one race, that's when you get people talking about the minority race in the school.
I loved my experience at an HBCU and wouldn't change it for anything in the world. I don't care who else goes there, I know that white students are not going to be there if they aren't comfortable in Black spaces. For me it was the sense of community and feeling comfortable in my own skin, and being surrounded by others who have had similar lived experiences. The things thst shape you and make you who you are, those things are understood by other Black people without needing to explain it. I saw a comment where a person said that we are segregating ourselves and another one that said that we view everything through the lens of race.I disagree that we are segregating ourselves and I agree that we view everything through the lens of race. Even if we don't want to, because it's a necessity. As much as people would like to believe that racism doesn't exist or isn't as bad as it was 50 years ago, it does still exist. Just because there isn't a sign saying whites only at the entrance of a building it doesn't mean that we are welcomed and wanted there. I grew up in Oregon and there are cities that we don't go to. For the most part you won't see a single Black person in eastern and southern Oregon because we aren't safe there. It's a luxury to not have to think about race, and it's a luxury that I don't have. Although I wish I did.
They don’t get it. Look how you have to explain it now. It’s always Asians and stuff worried about what we’re doing despite not having the same extensive history. These are e the people who dismantled Affirmative Action, and are going after other stuff. 🤷🏾♂️
0:03 Well well well
Well well well your head🧠🤏🏾
I don't like how they all think...
Segregation is NOT good. We need to all live together to make a country and a planet better for all.
Stop talking about "safe space", you don't need that sht when everybody is mixed and live together.
Come tu Europe, you will se that peoples are more mixed, and it's better, we learn from each other, and it's cool.
Fyi America has more PWI, predominantly white institutions. Hbcu are the minority and all can attend both.
it not segregation bro is a historcal black school whites asian and lantio can come segragation was from by whites
@@fariha-the-1st Separate peoples by their skin color IS segregation.
