For the HBCU kid, he's been in school for a week and met 4 people, give it time. His tribe is definitely there. You can be bullied no matter where you go, whether at an HBCU or a regular school.
Thank you! I was going to say the exact same thing! I went to an HBCU, two as a matter of fact. I first learned about tentacle porn at an HBCU. There are all kinds of people at colleges and universities, and HBCUs are no different. Hopefully he'll graduate, mature, and delete this first semester video.
Bullied in university, though? I am just upset for this young man having to go through that having to pay for this experience on top of that. He should not have to deal with that at all. No excuses IMO.
Sorry that young man is having an issue, but not all HBCUs. My daughter goes to an HBCU that actually has a crazy-popular anime/blerd convention over a weekend! And all sorts of folks participate; I've seen people dressed in anime cosplay that didn't even LOOK like they'd be interested in it, and lots of folks are there cheering them on.
I wonder if he is attending an HBCU in a major city or country/town. I notice the HBCU is big cities have a wider range of groups to hang with. There were nerdy folks, jocks, artists folks, etc. You could find your group in a large HBCU.
Being a freshman in college is different than being an upperclassman. A lot of people still have high school mentalities as freshmen. By sophomore year all that pettiness/bullying has pretty much died out. College will mature a person and you’re introduced to so many people from so many different places with so many different styles. He will be ok.
Ostracizing, ignoring or outright roasting people are the most common forms of bullying I saw on campus. Many were very subtle in how they made folks feel less than on my campus, so those bullied kids stayed in their dorms.
I swear this outro song is the hardest I’ve heard for a podcast. There should be a category for theme song at the podcast awards. It would definitely win.
In no particular order, I would say... 1. Self-titled - Beyonce 2. Emancipation of Mimi - Mariah Carey 3. Confessions - Usher 4. Off the Wall - Michael Jackson 5. Songs in the Key of Life - Stevie Wonder
I hate that he got bullied, but I’ve been a “weirdo black girl” my whole life and college is when I was delivered from that kind of treatment. Maybe this guy isn’t truly tapped in to Black culture enough to know the difference in how people express themselves in a safe place. I still think lots of people play too much and make me the butt of jokes when I’m not okay with it… but I also know some of these same folks wouldn’t do it around non-Black folks. He needs a semester to acclimate
Blerd culture online vs in real life is very different. Community is hard to find in person, we can’t be living our lives through rdc forever, I WANNA GO OUTSIDE
My daughter graduated from an hbcu and she said the same thing her first semester! She became less upset as she got older and just chalked it up to lack of maturity
Florida Invitational Step Show has been hosted at the University of Florida for YEARS. You can definitely do black cultural things at PWIs. Just because people choose to go to a PWI doesn't mean they don't want to experience culture. Leave those young ladies alone and let them have their college experience.
I attended a PWI; was on the Black Cultural Center gospel choir, was the Black Student Government president, was one of the Big 8 (way back then) Conference BSG delegates, co-founded the Minority Student Coalition in the dormitories, and pledged DST at a PWI. I had a whole black experience while simultaneously having a PWI experience. Found my tribe and we built what was missing.
"Bishop" Lamar is a mess in more ways than one, and needs to take SEVERAL seats. I agree with Kev. I don't wanna see him anymore. Also as a blerd who still nerds out, I appreciate that conversation about how Blerds are perceived by large chunks of the community
I don't understand why I never get notifications for Here's the Thing anymore. It's been going on for a little while now. I made sure my notifications are on and I like each video so it stays in my algorithm, but I still have to search for new episodes each week.
I was born here in Mississippi only back because of the Airforce. I tell you the greatest day that ever happened to me was when my mom moved to Atlanta in 1979. This state has not changed in my 50 years. I love my family here and they trying with fail to make me move back. I don't know or they don't see the crookness going on here. Ain't no way in heezy I'm coming back here to stay. I'm counting down now till I'm gone.
I bout jumped out my seat when Kev confused Alabama A&M with THE Alabama State University! The Honeybees are amazing! The Stingettes are greatness as well.
Top 5 albums(in no particular order): - Usher Confessions (expanded) - Moonchild Little Ghost - Umi Forest in the City - Paramore Paramore - Terrace Martin Sounds of Crenshaw v.1
I currently hold the title as Mister HBCU and i’m also an HBCU alum and I’m sorry that his experience hasn’t been the best but I just hope he can give it time to find his people and tribe.
Been seeing A LOT OF HANDS LAYED on lately at church... I've also heard and seen situations in which certain members have indeed rushed the pastor. Crazy 👊
I can't speak on the HBCU POV, but I can say that when I was younger I'd often get picked on by other black kids for being: nerdy, reading books, being shy (social anxiety), making good grades, not dressing like everyone else, "sounding like a whyite person", Queer, and listening to other music besides rap/hip hop and R&B. I can, however, say that my experience in college and now as adult in my early-mid twenties is much, much more positive than the years prior. I've met other awesome, nerdy black people that share the same interests as me, so I don't feel isolated or outcasted from the black community/culture anymore. I think it all depends on the area you attend school(s) to notice a huge shift in the mindsets of others. I still get teased for how I talk or having a diverse taste in music preferences from time-to-time, but for the most part I've noticed a lot of progression and acceptance in our culture and community within the last 5 years (in my opinion, don't come for me). I still think we need more work with accepting the LGBTQ+ community within the black community, especially when it comes to men, but again, that's just my opinion; don't come for me. Black Queer Men & Black Nerds Exist and are Valid.
Yep. Turned folks on to a lot of "white" things and still get jokes about something being "too" white. Definitely finding more blerds over the years and loving it BUT still ignorant folks acting like they're in junior high acting up.
Let me tell y’all…..if you are not watching House of Dragons then see Kev after party you are missing such a fool of a time!! Kev is hilarious and I’m here for it😂😂😂
Raise your hand if your black experience included the comment, "you don't act black" as some weird, obtuse, and offensive "compliment" from color deficient folks, or an "insult" from your people. 🙋🏿♂️
👋🏽 Like Kev I'm a former Military Brat. Moving every three years for 20 years and most of time I was one of many or the only one of none. Heard it from whites and blacks. In the south I was labeled Ms. Proper, because I spoke like a white person.
29:10 I think sometimes you have to realise that what we see as adults is different to whats actually going on in schools today. Things might seem all fine and dandy from the outside but Kev's examples are all successful youtubers etc. Not the standard kid at school. I remember when I went to a heavily black school I thought nobody liked anime etc but then a few months before I left I found people who were into it but they clearly hid it from everyone. They only showed me their interests once they knew I was "safe" and wasnt gonna shit on them like everyone else. And these were popular kids but they felt the need to hide it
As a former RA at a PWI, you can definitely get bullied. It is harder to do in college, but it happens. It is also easier to avoid people you don't want to deal with unless they live with/near you in a residence hall. Also, let's talk about how people love placing heavy homophobia on Black people way too much. My alma mater was rated as the most homophobic school this year (lower than some of the Amerca's religious schools). The young brother at the HBCU has to find his squad. I went to a majority Black hs and I flourished because I ignored the people that thought they could clown me for not being whatever enough. Just do you.
5 albums...... 1.Pusha T- It's almost dry- 2. Vanessa Carlton- Be not Nobody- 3: Hamilton (Don't judge me) 4. Matt Corby-Telluric 5. Agnes Obel-Aventine.
San Jose is South Bay, sweetheart. When you said East Bay, you reminded me of that Mastercard commercial where that performer came on stage and shouted out the wrong city.
My Top 7 Albums on bc 5 ain’t enough lol: 1. Bishop Marvin Sapp ~ Thirsty 2. Brandy ~ Never Say Never 3. Usher ~ Confessions {Expanded Edition} 4. Michael Jackson ~ Thriller 5. Toni Braxton ~ Toni Braxton 6. CeCe Winans ~ Alabaster Box 7. BabyFace ~ A Collection of His Greatest Hits
The thing about the majorettes at a PWI is that the PWI will steal the phrase HBCU experience and use it as a recruitment tool. “You can get the HBCU experience here too”
I attended an HBCU for Undergrad and Grad and didnt hear of Dragon Ball Z until I got to college. It wasnt my thing but there were fans of the genre. There were at least 4 gaming tournaments going on in 1 dorm alone. Gaming was basically an intramural sport. This was early 2000s and for the time, there was a community, and sub community, for many individuals outside of what is considered "the norm". Many people's college experiences are based on the individual. Its unfortunate for this young man and I wish/hope he has a better experience now and in the future
I could only come up with 2 albums when you first posed the question and I came up with Urban Hang Suite by Maxwell and I Just Want to Sing by Musiq Soulchild. I couldn’t believe Kevin picked the same as me.
Top 5 (no order) 1. Christina Aguilera - Liberation 2. Brandy - Never Say Never 3. Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life 4. Miguel - Wildheart 5. Prince - Purple Rain
I’m disgusted by the Brett Farve story & the water crisis in Jackson. I’m from Mississippi & I graduated from University of Southern Mississippi. Brett Farve deserves jail time for his actions
I remember for the longest time I kept that I liked comics, anime and non sports video games to myself. Especially in high school. Now I don't care. I'm me and thats all you gonna get.
Top 5 artists, I’ll choose the albums later😂 1. Kirk Franklin, either Revolution or Hero 2. H.E.R., probably her debut album 3 Lecrae, probably Rehab 4. Mary Mary, either the Sound or Something Big 5. TobyMac, Portal sounds, or Tonight
As someone who went to a PWI I wish I would’ve went to HBCU. I was literally one out of two black kids in most of my classes, For the most part I have not heard bad experiences at HBCUs
Spelman Alumna here, and yes, the tribe is there. At first, I felt alone and surrounded by business casual dressed church girls. Then the creative, alternative, eccentric folks started to emerge.
everyone’s experience is different when it comes to college. we had an anime club at my hbcu. folks would come to class with pajamas and bonnets on. it’s okay. after freshman year that mindset of what people think goes out the door.
My 5 Albums: 1. Kanye - Late Registration 2. John Mayer - Continuum 3. Kendrick - TPAB 4. The Gap Band - Gap Band IV 5. Corinne Bailey Rae - Self Titled
Omg! ANGEL!! My Mom, Auntie and uncle live in Memphis, TN and I feel the same way! I DO NOT fit in in Memphis! 🙅🏾♀️ I still grab up my grandbaby and he and I fly our Midwestern behinds down there to hang out though. Ijs 🤷🏾♀️
Top 5 albums for the rest of my life, Kanye "Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy", Common " Like Water for Chocolate", Mos Def "New Danger", The Roots "Things fall apart", and Jay-Z "Black Album".
Great episode, moving from Birmingham to San Antonio I realize that anime is really big among black people here. Josh and I are the same age and what's going on in my top five too, Kendrick damn, Antia baker rapture and composition, and Kanye graduation
Boy you almost made me have a heart attack when you said Alabama A&M Honey Bees! WRONG! That’s Alabama State’s plus size dance troupe! I’m an Alabama State Alum and the Alabama State and Alabama A&M rivalry is SERIOUS! It’s the black version of Auburn vs Alabama rivalry! Its DEEP!
You going to get it Kev. You mixed up The Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University with Alabama State...no no no. We're rivals! But y'all should come see us battle in Birmingham @ The Magic City Classic, Oct 30th.
My albums would have to be, in no particular order: 1) American Gangster by Jay-Z 2) A Thousand Suns by Linkin Park 3) Drones by Muse 4) School of Roses by Christon Gray 5) Uncomfortable by Andy Mineo Great question!
I can see that young man’s pov. He probably would be better off at a different school. That’s why y’all got to visit campuses and feel the vibes. I don’t regret going to a PWI because I grew up in the hood and barely made it out. I got into fights, went to jail, and was an overall nuisance to society. I needed a different experience, so that I can find myself outside of the culture.
Speaking on HBCUs in totality is where the challenge lies. What I hope is for him to see the variety in black culture and experience friendship in a safe space of acceptance
NyQuil chicken… LEAN CUISINE!

Exactly. I was gonna say it’s not an HBCU thing, that’s just a school behavior period.

Ostracizing, ignoring or outright roasting people are the most common forms of bullying I saw on campus. Many were very subtle in how they made folks feel less than on my campus, so those bullied kids stayed in their dorms.
I'm really surprised no one said The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. It's a perfect album.
On my list, along with Brandy Never Say Never
I swear this outro song is the hardest I’ve heard for a podcast. There should be a category for theme song at the podcast awards. It would definitely win.

Exactly there are lots of different types of black people at HBCUs ugghhhh. I never had a pair of Jordans (not my style either) and no one bullied me.
Here before the algorithm pushed the video lol
Same! So into the shenanigans
Kev tried to throw that “We like pumpkin pie” in there like they wouldn’t notice 😂

My HBCU experience was amazing I found my people there. People who were totally nerdy like me. I think it does take time to find your people.
When Kev said, “You think he got a Movado watch,” I lost it….😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂FRFR!!
More like Novado..😆😆

Angel doing the wildcat majorette routine 😭😭😭😭
Been seeing A LOT OF HANDS LAYED on lately at church... I've also heard and seen situations in which certain members have indeed rushed the pastor. Crazy 👊
I can't speak on the HBCU POV, but I can say that when I was younger I'd often get picked on by other black kids for being: nerdy, reading books, being shy (social anxiety), making good grades, not dressing like everyone else, "sounding like a whyite person", Queer, and listening to other music besides rap/hip hop and R&B. I can, however, say that my experience in college and now as adult in my early-mid twenties is much, much more positive than the years prior. I've met other awesome, nerdy black people that share the same interests as me, so I don't feel isolated or outcasted from the black community/culture anymore.

Omg! ANGEL!! My Mom, Auntie and uncle live in Memphis, TN and I feel the same way! I DO NOT fit in in Memphis! 🙅🏾♀️ I still grab up my grandbaby and he and I fly our Midwestern behinds down there to hang out though. Ijs 🤷🏾♀️
Yeah.......we different. Sincerely, Memphis!!
I felt like I even read this comment different.. just from vibe alone! Lol
Kevin...a Word. Black folks gonna be Black folks!
Top 5 albums for the rest of my life, Kanye "Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy", Common " Like Water for Chocolate", Mos Def "New Danger", The Roots "Things fall apart", and Jay-Z "Black Album".
Great episode, moving from Birmingham to San Antonio I realize that anime is really big among black people here. Josh and I are the same age and what's going on in my top five too, Kendrick damn, Antia baker rapture and composition, and Kanye graduation
Boy you almost made me have a heart attack when you said Alabama A&M Honey Bees! WRONG! That’s Alabama State’s plus size dance troupe! I’m an Alabama State Alum and the Alabama State and Alabama A&M rivalry is SERIOUS! It’s the black version of Auburn vs Alabama rivalry! Its DEEP!
Detroit came to toledo! We was deep! But I been lookin myself for a club for yall! Yall might just have to do THE FOX or THE FILMORE
You going to get it Kev. You mixed up The Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University with Alabama State...no no no. We're rivals! But y'all should come see us battle in Birmingham @ The Magic City Classic, Oct 30th.
My albums would have to be, in no particular order:
1) American Gangster by Jay-Z
2) A Thousand Suns by Linkin Park
3) Drones by Muse
4) School of Roses by Christon Gray
5) Uncomfortable by Andy Mineo
Great question!
Kenny Loggins ft Michael Mcdonald -What a fool believes Live from Redwood....You won't regret it🔥🔥🔥🔥
1:03:00- Josh just walked away! I can't!!!😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆 Kev, you've pretty much accepted she in never going unblock you.
I can see that young man’s pov. He probably would be better off at a different school. That’s why y’all got to visit campuses and feel the vibes. I don’t regret going to a PWI because I grew up in the hood and barely made it out. I got into fights, went to jail, and was an overall nuisance to society. I needed a different experience, so that I can find myself outside of the culture.
Kev, San Jose is South Bay..... not East. Wish you were going to the East Bay, on a weekend
SO CRAZY I am just watching this and two weeks ago my bf and I listened to beg for mercy 😂
Speaking on HBCUs in totality is where the challenge lies. What I hope is for him to see the variety in black culture and experience friendship in a safe space of acceptance
