I'm a white student at a historically black college

- Does "historically black" mean "exclusively black"? Founded after the Civil War to educate African-Americans who were largely barred from other colleges, financial pressures have led historically black colleges to adopt a new mission - diversify. Here's what it's like to be one of the 11% of students at HBCUs who are white.
Okay is it just me or.... I'm white and I've never heard of the stereotype of all black schools being ghetto or rundown like ??? I've heard of extremely liberal but I don't think ghetto or run down...
anna james also notice who said which stereotypes. What's reality and what's not runs in different circles.
+AvgJane19 What's reality and what's stereotypes is also different, and they were sharing their experiences of stereotypes as they pertain to HBCUs.
I think it came from some boujee black people that put major and white colleges up to a high standard, and thats very unfortunate.
Same, I have never heard that stereotype before.
+anna james I've never heard of that stereotype once in my life either about HBCUs. I watched this one episode of Judge Mathis where this White girl was on there either being sued or doing the suing. She told Judge Mathis that she attends Spelman College or Morehouse, one of the two and he was shocked so he told her "ohhh really? That's a historically Black college" and the White girl responded with "yes...I know and it's also academically one of the top schools in the nation." I thought that was the best response because it shown that when she was applying to colleges/universities that she didn't care about being around predominantly White people but that she was going to receive the best education her money can afford. She said she absolutely love it there and wasn't treated any differently because of her race. She actually said the environment was much better, more fun, and much more peaceful there than it would have been in a predominantly White college.
People really think you have to be Black to go to an HBCU???🙄
ThisIsYourLastWarning〉:3 Right!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
A woman on this one radio channel was preaching, "WHY ARE BLACK SCHOOLS SO DISCRIMINATORY AND RACIST? SHOULDN'T ALL RACES BE ACCEPTED?!?!" And apparently she didn't know the origins of these schools
ThisIsYourLastWarning〉:3 they think we would treat them the same way we were treated
there are a lot of stupid people out there. trump is president
ThisIsYourLastWarning〉:3 It's right wing white conservatives trying to find a reason to complain about something to try to "prove" that black people and other people of color have exclusive schools just for them while white people don't.
I went to an HBCU (Morgan State), and there were a handful of other races there (students and professors). It was never a big deal. We were all there to get an education and have fun.
I graduated from Benedict College, an HBCU in South Carolina, and there were students, professors, staff, and faculty members from various races who enjoyed being at Benedict College. It was like being a part of a family.
lfutrell82 how did you finance the college? What are the career opportunities after graduation. I'm not American.
Exactly. I went to A&T and graduated with a Computer Engineering Degree. There are white people there too and we treat them like family.

lfutrell82 I'm from Louisiana and I went to Southern University and it was great! I loved it I loved the people, the diversity, I just loved it and there was nothing racist going on, unlike LSU they are full of racists
Let's get this straight for everyone: All colleges have the same goddamn majors just in different locations and different costs. Just get your fucking degree and get into your career
anal lease keating exactly.
Ryan Knight plus they teach it differently
shit in my mouth
Travis C THANK YOU I'm over here killing myself to get into an Ivy League college when in the real world, after I graduate none of that is going to matter....going to Stanford is just going to be bragging right, not so much a reputation booster.
Could not agree with you more. Some pretentious professions, companies or people might care about that but in most companies it doesn't matter. My current employer has never even asked to see my degree certificate. You just end up with more debt if attending a more prestigious university.
I'm glad he went, going to a HBCU was the best experience of my life.
MirFirst S. Why you glad
K.Ghost Luciano you are stupid. This was such a great learning experience.
Beatrice S.L. fuck you I'm stupid because I'm asking a question
K.Ghost Luciano yes you are because she already said why she was glad with your slow ass.
Beatrice S.L. why is it bothering you that I asked her a question though I wasn't talking to you chill the fuck out
My father is a white man who attended Xavier university (an HPCU in Louisiana) in the 70's. He always talks about what a great experience it was.
why, he could have gone to Harvard????
@@themadtitan8408 or maybe not
@☯ Yo, it's a Froggieee Onimations ☯ ✓ what do you mean?
In the 70s!!!!!!! Mad respect to everyone involved in that experience.
@@themadtitan8408 because Harvard is so easy to get into when you're not a legacy🙄
"ghetto", "run-down", "lower class"
..since when ?!?
@Cole S you can see that by the graduation rates
I'm a white man and I'm so happy I chose to go to ALABAMA A&M. I have never felt so welcomed and loved. I cherish the eye opening experience and education that I received. I will always Love my A&M family.
Ghetto or lower class... wow smh 🤦🏽♂️ so many small minded people! HBCUS have some of the best programs out there!
Do they?
@@bourgeoisie6076 🤷♂️
@@bourgeoisie6076 i feel like for black students there would be better programs, like specific events or activities who knows.
@@bourgeoisie6076 yes. Spellman works with Grady hospital, and HBCUs provide 85% of black doctors and 90% of black med school students.
@@avalonsignoraalmas6150 ‼️‼️
Everytime I think of all black universities, I think of elegance or intelligence. I dunno why lol Im not even black!
N A haha cool! What race are you?
They really are
what kind of excellence? they are just going to school like many people do thru out the United States. Are blacks special when they manage to get into college
Darling that's because you're intelligent
@@shadlenoir I don't think it's that, people normally have pretty low standards for African Americans, so when they make it into college, they're most likely shocked on unsuspecting of that, not sure though XD.
I wish I would have gone to an HBCU. I would have found my queen hella quicker than it took me at Youngstown State.
Awwww, happy to hear you found her either way!!
go penguins
Trigga Reloaded because I'm happy this brother found his queen??? Ok.
DJ alt.rock yesssss!! So sweet to hear🤗😄🙌🙆
Trey what?
I never thought their feedback would be JUST about being a minority and racism.
Don't they have any feedback on the cultural richness of an HBCU they lived and studied around campus??
What a shame
yes how negative
Maybe they did, but wanted to discuss this topic instead.
ikr what a waste 😂😂.
Did you read the title ?
As it always is. Blackness in the media means racism always needs to be brought up. I think it's a subliminal device.
Literally me in elementary school and middle school and I'm black
ASLStu666 lol you realize they attempted genocide of the white population in return, kicked them out and then soon fell into economic depressions because they were no farmers to tend the land
Nice try though
ASLStu666 lol and what is your version of the story? Is it not regurgitated from your own bias or did you physically collect data from across Zimbabwe to stay unbiased???
Lol nice try
Owen Miller-North You in fact have some type of intellectual disability. You are not capable of writting anything other than "nice try". I majored in social science and business, not special education. I am not capable of "dumbing it down" enough to meet your comprehension level. Hopefully, one of the other commenters are in the special education field and will help you figure it out.
ASLStu666 lol so you can't support your claim but say you're an intellect, well ain't that a laugh
I'm also a major in social economics, written a book... But can't provide any evidence
As you seem to like me saying given you've provided nothing of substance... nice try though
Owen Miller-North Not to be rude but, you have some grammar mistakes.
I was a white student at an HBC. It was a good experience, and my race was no big deal to the other students. But going to that college didn't really let me "see it from the other side" because in the larger world, I still didn't face the discrimination difficulties my classmates had always grappled with and likely always will. Being a minority on campus is not like being a minority in America.
Thank you for saying this part. I really felt that was missing in the statement because from my perspective, Black and POC students and professors do not commit the kinds of microagressions and direct racism to white people that white people commit toward them, so if they feel like our experience is just being a minority, they are not understanding. Just having a feature that's different is not the issue. If I go into a space where everyone else has waist length hair and I have shoulder length hair, I might notice it, but I do not feel the risk of people antagonizing me or harming me over it. This is similar to the experience of a white person in a predominantly Black space. At most, they might experience some light teasing, often good natured or some uncomfortable, yet accurate, descriptions of history. That is not the same as the risks and traumas that Black and POC people face in white environments so I really wish they hadn't worded it as if the two were equal and am very glad that you lended your voice to saying as much.
I'm from Europe, I've learned about USA school system through movies mainly and then other cultural supports but I've never heard of how your universities still have a kind of problem with diversity. I really think that the price of your education is encouraging the separation between your people. If education was accessible for everyone then a lot of problem would go. (For example I paid 130 euros for 1 year of a great university of Paris, the poorest people get paid to go.)
i think you forget that there are similarities with the French Uni system. its not the end price of 1300 that determines whether you get a quality education or not. In Paris and across france , the elitist system means some uni are prized over others , and of course where they are located hardly any minority can afford a place to live there. the system is build in to filter oout poor people and since black people are at the bottom , the odd one makes it. its the truth.
Lechiffresix six Do you live in Paris ? Every university is the same price, the poorest you are the less you pay (and you get money every months). The metro and RER system can get you everywhere (I live in the Western suburb so I kinda know), my university is in the 13th district (all the way across the city, far est, so I have to cross it in 40 minutes which is very good). A lot of my friends come from quite far (77, 93, 94 ...) outside Paris and most if them aren't privileged. I don't know what you are talking about there's a difference between university and "École" (school) which can be very expensive because they don't belong to the State. There are a lot of very good universities (under 300€ a year without a scholarship) as La Sorbonne, Paris Diderot, Descartes, Pierre et Marie Curie, la Catho...
(ps: I paid 130 euros/year not 1300 euros)
Ju This is coming from a Hispanic person: it is set in such a way that it is easier for blacks to go to college. Asians have to score much much higher just to have the same chance as a black person who does average to get into certain colleges. There is also A LOT more financial help and otherwise for black students. There is a lot of diversity in most colleges in the US. Blacks, however, only makes 13% of the population. From that, a lot of blacks choose not to go to college or dropout in the first semester or year. Whites actually have the hardest time getting financial help to go to college. White are actually underrespresented at a lot of colleges (compared to population) Don't believe everything from a very liberal or very conservative source. They will always bring bias.
A M Okey, I can understand now but the fact that people get into university based on their skin colour is something I can't even imagine. Where do you know the colour of the person who's applying ? Even if they want to be diverse this would be considered as discrimination in Europe and I guess a lot of countries across the world...
+Ju On the application, they ask you your race. When you come in, they ask for ID or Driver's license from you or your parent, depending on how old you are when you enroll. They confirm your race or ethnic background some kind of way. They did this so they could investigate how discriminatory colleges were in the 1960s and 1970s, during the Civil Rights era and post-Civil Rights. It was to confirm suspicions of segregation. Eventually, though, it evolved into something that focuses on race and background.
most HBCU welcome anyone who wants to attend their campus the color is not an issue, the problem comes from the families members you live with so the best information I can give you it would be to follow your heart HBCU are some of the best college's to attend white or other .
I attended an historically black college to obtain my masters degree. My main reasons were they offered a better program and the program required students to become actual agents of social change as part of their masters work. It was a very rewarding experience. I'm white.
I am a graduate student at Florida A&M University, and was my top application, I was accepted to Drexel University but wanted to be connected to an HBCU for not only the education in class, but the education from being with people who looked like me. Both of my undergraduate degrees were from predominately White colleges and I always felt "disconnected" from my fellow students, but tried as hard to connect as I did in academics. I wanted to stop "trying" to fit in and just be a student. It is reflected in my GPA as well as my personal education. It brings me back to a place I feel most comfortable.
Congrats on your Graduate studies. I will soon graduate with my bachelors degree from an institution that is not an HBCU but very diverse. I too feel the same in terms of wanting to attend an HBCU for graduate school for more connection to my culture. The idea is exciting but daunting; as I would be an older student "going off to school" so tis speak. What method did you choose in picking the right school for your studies as well as your social and cultural needs and was there any hesitation? I have researched the idea and have had people tell me that the HBCU "experience is for undergrad and that I should choose larger more prestigious schools for grad school. What are your thoughts? If any. Thank you in advance for the advice.
Interesting and congrats to you as well. I am an "older student" and I am 10-17 years older than some of my cohorts. So what drove me to FAMU was a program conducive to my professional life. That is one of my criteria, another was the faculty. Since I am close to age with many faculty, I wanted someone who would empathize with my experiences. The feel of the university also was factored in. Finally the most important the program you are interested in. How many Ph.D's are part of the faculty, who graduated from the school, how much is the tuition of course. Also the average time it takes for terminal degrees to be completed. I hope this helps and good luck Valerie, keep in touch.
Thank you for your reply Ken. I truly appreciate that. These are all great points and things to think of. It does help. Good luck to you as well and will do.
Please keep in mind, WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS!! STOP THIS WHITE & BLACK BULL!!! YOU WERE CREATED BY ONE GOD!!! STOP THIS COLOR CRAP NOW! THAT YOUNG GENTLEMAN WHO IS WHITE HAVE THE RIGHT ATTITUDE!!! THIS IS HOW WE ALL SHOULD BEHAVE AND STP THIS BLACK, WHITE, ASIAN CRAP, NEDS TO STOP! DEVELOPE THE MIND LIKE THIS YOUNG GENTLEMAN AND GROW UP YOUNG PEOPLE! I AM A MOTHER OF COLOR( BLACK) HAVE THREE CHILDREN ALL ARE COLLEGE GRADUATES, WE DON'T USE THOSE TERMS IN MY HOUSE!! THEY KNOW BETTER! TIME TO MOVE ON TO A NEW BEGINNING!!!
Ken O'Brien Wow powerful comment, i thank you for sharing your thoughts and journey with us.
Blessings to you sir on all your future endeavors.
I'm from Baltimore MD, I went to a Catholic school on a scholarship. I was one of the very few white kids in my school and the only one in my glass up until the last 2 or so years (I'm also native but you can't see it lol). All of my friends we Latino or black. There were things that let me know that I was different like how my skin would change colors when you squeezed it or how red my face would get anytime I got even a little embarrassed. My Latina friends would call me "hairless cat" in spanish because I had no arm hair and they all did lmao. My dad's side of my family is pretty racist, I never understood why because none of my friends were white and they were all awesome. Luckily I was mostly raised with my mother and there are people of all races on that side of my family, I was raised to look at everyone as equals. When I left middle school and moved to the county, I went to a predominantly white school. I found the only black people in the cafeteria and asked if I could sit with them, because I was too afraid to approach any white girls that I didn't know, I didn't know how to talk to them lol . The only white teens other than family that I knew was from tv and movies and most of them were pretty bitchy. Looking back now it was pretty funny. What I'm trying to say, if anyone is even reading this, that I feel so incredibly lucky to not only have a beautiful big mixed family but to also had the rare opportunity to be a minority in a society where I am a majority. I got a small taste of what people of color live through everyday.
Well said
What school ?
What school? I go to MSJ
It was Archbishop Borders in highlandtown
That's legit a really nice story man. How did those college students react when you asked to sit with them?
The problem for me with non-Black students attending HBCUs is that they only go to HBCUs to get the benefits of a free tuition and to receive a full-ride scholarship, which is unfair to the majority of Black students who need it. Hence, non-Black students now become the "minority" group out of the rest of the majority Black students and those non-Black students reap the benefits from Black students who really need those scholarships and tuition waivers. Other than that, most non-Black students would not be attending an HBCU if they were not given a free tuition or scholarship or have a special title. I attended an HBCU and this what I observed as well as discussed with other like-minded students and professors.
I went to A & T, class of '93. It was some of the best four years of my life. It was there that I learned about brotherhood and met my white best friend. The whole time he was there, or we were together I never saw anyone treat him with disrespect.
I have went to two great colleges doing my first two years of colleges XU and Dillard University in New Orleans. XU was more diverse. I also went to Nichols State which was mostly white due to location reasons. When I moved to Texas I made sure I found a university that was diverse with all races. It was a nice change to see all races in one classroom and I made great friendships. I purposely become friends with others that are different than me. You get to see that you have more in common then you think.
It's evidenced by these comments that whenever I think people have finally reached the pinnacle of their stupidity, they decide to persevere and keep going.
INDEED, SMH...
I love this, we know we are a culture that’s open to all types of people. The sad reality is if this were flipped it would be a different scenario.
I went to two HBCU one in Alabama and one in Georgia . I graduated from Ft Valley State University and we had a few white students and we showed them nothing but Love
Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are institutions of higher education in the United States that were established before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with the intention of primarily serving the African-American community. This was because the overwhelming majority of predominantly white institutions of higher-learning disqualified African Americans from enrollment during segregation.[1][2] There are 101 HBCUs in the United States, including public and private institutions. This figure is down from the 121 institutions that existed during the 1930s.[3] Of these remaining HBCU institutions in the United States, 27 offer doctoral programs, 52 schools offer master's programs, 83 colleges offer bachelor's degree programs and 38 schools offer associate degrees.[4]
Make them feel uncomfortable like they make us feel.
Just so you know do graduated and started his own Private Equity firm and didn't hire not ONE BLACK PERSON...NOT ONE. All that I went to a HBCU talk yet at the end of the day he stuck to his own when it came to business. Let that be a lesson for you Black FOLKS, your the only one's trying to be "diverse" everyone else hires their own
If he started his own firm out of college then it's going to be small, with only a few employees. The fact that he didn't hire anyone black says very little in that context. When he builds it up to a company with 50+ employees and if by that time there is still no black employee, then come back and we'll talk.
Actually it says EVERYTHING. People start companies with their friends, Associates and those within their network especially if your dealing in the Financial world. He supposedly grew up around Blacks and went to School with them (Morehouse) but could not find not one Black male to hire or partner with?
how do you know this?
Bahia82 why does it have to be only a black *male*?
Anywho... that just means not only is he hot, but he's also very ambitious and smart. Impressive. 😉
he went to Morehouse and HBCU for Black males
I got my Master's degree at an HBCU, and the experience was overall fine. The only bad side was that the administration of my particular school was extremely incompetent. I had to send my transcripts three times because they continuously lost them.
i went to Morehouse and LOVED it!!! I remember seeing 3 white students in my freshman class. I only got to meet/speak with one of them and he was cool as a fan. Im all for the diversity.
Josh is fine... damn I wish I went to Spelman instead...
lol
Girl... tell me about it...
CalabarSweetii Seriously?
Everytime someone comments on this thread, it reminds me how fine Josh is. Jesus, where can I find a white man like that? Absolutely well-rounded, with swag and good teeth. 😄 We had a couple of white guys at my HBCU, but they weren't nearly as sexy as Josh...
Race traitor? Damn you are ignorant.
I went to a regular state university, but in a predominantly Black/Latino neighborhood so I felt like it was almost an HBCU. We did have a mixture of races going there but it was predominantly Black/Latino and actually the Latino Greek life was stronger than the Blacks.
Stop. HBCU doesn't mean "majority black/non-white student-body". HBCUs are real tangible institutions that have endured despite incredible odds.
I know. my parents went to real HBCUs. I just think it's interesting that my school ended up having a similar culture without officially being one.
i feel like its surprising that they've survived over 150 years, because the level of aggressive racism and vandalism from white people, not to mention the threat of lynching . You have to be strong and focused to not be scared of fucking dying at the hands of people who think nothing of wiping you out entirely. I am absolutely in awe .
Well, it wasn’t an “HBCU.” There is nothing historically Black about your PWIP
I’m curious to know what university. It sounds like many of the universities that are in Central Florida & South Florida. UCF? FIU? St. Thomas?
I am white, and i attended a traditionally black university. And in response to anyone who complains about affirmative action for non-whites, i would like to share the fact that I was awarded an "other race grant" for attending a college that had predominantly black students attending the college.
Texas Southern University got all colors up there and we're going to progress greatly with our new president Dr. Austin Lane! come visit!
Mitchell Schnyder yo what Mitch? great OCHEM TA.
Mitchell Schnyder TSU is H-Town finest.
I went to tsu on tour and was digusted with how the students acted and how nasty the campus was, students need to learn how to clean up for themselves there smdh
Houston is the most diverse city in America. TSU will eventually be 50% non Black.
That's where I'm trying to go
You don’t have to be black to attend an HBCU. I attended Fort Valley State University and there were Asian and White students.
And at HBCUs, white students are not treated with racial indignancies as is often the reverse when Black students attend primarily white colleges and universities. Says something about the differences in character.
As someone who attend an HBCU, I honestly don't care for non-blacks attending. I choose an HBCU specifically because there are types of education and life lessons I can receive there that I can't get at an PWI.
While I appreciate your candor, I'm at a loss to see how one or two white people in a class of thirty would somehow take away from your experience. Can you elaborate?
Welcome to our world. It would be nice to go to an all white school, but that would be considered racism. Right? You folks fought for desegregation. MLK was at the forefront of it. That my friend, is a two way street. As they say, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
Soho Yankee, it's not an all-black school by choice, but by exclusion. However, 11% are white. If you look at the prestigious schools around the country, it's about the same for blacks. I just looked up Harvard, and they have 12% black enrollment. Why would a white person complain about HBCUs when they have unlimited choices?
You too have unlimited choices. You won’t be denied admissions because of your skin color. It’s all about how comfortable you are around those not of your race. Welcome to our ever changing world. You have to converse and work with a diverse group of individuals. You may be the only one of your kind in a group. Been, there, done that. But let me ask, are there European-American orgs or frats at those schools? How would you feel if there was one? Every University I’ve researched has multiple African American,, Hispanic, Asian, Muslim, Jewish and Indian culture awareness and support groups well as fraternities. Euro-American ones aren’t allowed. Ever. That would be and considered a white supremacist group and racist. I once heard some speech that talk about wanted to judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. Does that only work one way?
Mayra you are a fucking idiot. It’s not about your sling color, it’s about how hard you work.
It's no different than me, being a black male from Philly, attending Penn State. Welcome to my world.
What...who told you to go to Penn State? dUMB.
Wow this is fascinating I only thought that these universities/college only existed in spike lee movies! I don't think we have these kinds of universities in the UK or at least I've never experienced them. I think it's incredibly essential to keep the history of these universities but diversity is crucial for society to move forward in my opinion
I went to an HBCU. Best decision of my life.
I am so proud of that young man for stepping out of his comfort zone. He will be forever changed and if people in society would just do that, the world would be a much better place. God Bless that young man
2:02 LOL! She quickly switches her accent the say Latino and then goes back to her natural accent right away lol!
n40798 it's a part of the pronunciation. Do you want her to pronounce it 'LuhTieNoh' instead?
Rainbow Life 😇
She didn’t switch accent lol. She just pronounced it in Spanish.
It's weird. I mean, my Japanese friends don't break into Japanese language when we say we're going to go eat "sushi" or do "karaoke". There's a great Adam Ruins Everything about it.
chaosawaits it’s not weird just for people to say something in their native tongue I’m sure if your Asian friends pronounced karate the real way and not American way it wouldn’t matter people always mix up their native tongue in regular conversations
That was beautiful and I never once in my life thought of an HBC as run down. I've always thought very highly of them.
This is why beyonce performance at Coachella was so brilliant
He was voted least likely to be arrested
Teamototo TV I've read a lot of your comments on this video. Why do you hate black people? Like what's the deal??
Some Guy Who Likes Cheese idk, but although he's very racist he does include some facts.
I love how race is still a big issue in 2017....where is my Rosie the Robot, and space car?!
I wouldn't say people aren't going to HBCU's because they are racist. A lot of it has to do with publicity and honestly I barely hear anything about HBCU's until now. Its like saying a black person is racist for going to a HBCU because he wouldn't be a minority there. The whole thing that guy said is kinda hypocritical.
I go to a normal university now but I am gonna apply to FAMU for my MBA. Not only is it an HBCU but they have a one year MBA program.
They only go there to show how PC and diverse and awesome they are. They want to give themselves a pat on the back for what they think is breaking the colour barrier.
La France And theirs nothing wrong with being the first breaking the race barrier !!! Those are heros
Some people are genuinely interested in getting a different experience. Would you say the same thing if someone went to study in Hawaii or if someone from the Midwest went to a Southern school?
This white woman went because not only was it the only university within driving distance (with the exception of a Christian college and this pagan does not feel it is respectful to go there) but I assumed it was like ALL universities and would grant me an excellent education. I was raised from birth to see all skin colors as normal. One race, human race.
Not to mention they most likely breezed through it lol.. When Y.Ts surrounded by an Average I.Q of 60.. Well..

I a from Europe visited US had a cultural shock. Here in France i went to medical school without a loan cause it was free and only paid registration fee which was about 120 euros.
Taxes paid for it dummy, it’s not free. Allah didn’t drop euros from sky.
"free" - You mean the citizens paid for you to go with their tax money.
Julie lilotte if I get successful on the TOEFL, will I study in the US for free???
I would also add that HBCU's were started because "white colleges" would not allow black students. HBCU's have never discriminated against "white" students past or present, however "white" colleges still discriminate to against people of color to this day.
My mom went to an HBC (she's white/I'm white) She worked as a secretary at Tougaloo College in Mississippi and decided to take classes there becauses she could get a discount since she was an employee, then she ended up dating her Poli Sci professor (Jewish) and they got married, now he's my step-father.
🤔Our race has always been accepting of others... we were raised right! Not to discriminate, or judge others but we don't get that same respect and I really don't give a fuck 😏
ROYALTY _BEAUTI your own people enslaved your own people first honey, oh also. Yeah African albino people get hunted down and have their limbs cut off for outdated medicine.
I actually been discriminated by alot of black people growing up ,rarely by white people. Discrimination exists in all race .
What if top tier black college athletes started a revolution and began enrolling at HBCU's instead of power 5 schools? It would completely reshape the college athletics landscape with money and viewership
I went to Southern University Baton Rouge and we welcomed everybody. The first white guy I saw was a dude in the band who everybody called Biscuit. He was a big down to earth dude. And everybody was cool with him. The second guy was a dude named Chris that used to hang with my crew. He was chill too. So yeah don't be afraid. There is nothing wrong with getting your learn on. I never saw any problems on that level at an HBCU.
I've attended both PWIs and an HBCU. I really liked my HBCU (Spelman College). It was a cool school filled with very posh black women, and I feel that it very much creates an aura of success and excellence in their young women. (It's an all women school, the sister school to Morehouse, which is all men.) I finished my undergrad at a PWI, and now am getting my master's at a PWI. I left Spelman only for personal issues, and I wanted to go back and finish there, but it was more important for me to graduate, in general. So, I went to a university closer to my hometown in North Carolina. (I'm only not saying the names of my two PWIs because anyone who knows me might recognize me by the story and I like being not recognized online.) I really liked that school, too. Here in grad school, I'm enjoying a diverse population, though it's also in a very diverse city. I think college can be what you make of it. What I've noticed with my HBCU and other HBCUs I've experienced either because of attending conferences there or knowing people who attended them, is that HBCUs tend to have a culture. Not necessarily black culture, but a culture specifically surrounding that particular HBCU. Spelman, for instance, has this feeling of creating women who are excellent in every way, from looks, to dress, to speech, to academics. Very much the idea of a black woman in a nice business suit with a string of pearls running for Senator. Wiley College, on the other hand, has this feel of a very Christian, wholesome black person with strong morals and family values. North Carolina Central has this feeling of a very metropolitan black person with sights on law and social justice. PWIs, on the other hand, don't feel so much like a singular culture of the type of citizen they're trying to create. At my undergraduate PWI, I felt like I just created a version of myself through the classes I took. In grad school, I feel like I'm using the tools given to further cultivate the type of person I want to be both in my work and my life. There's merit to both of them, but I gotta say, I do miss the culture of Spelman, and I really wish I would've spent all 4 years there and become a Spelman Woman.
I should point out that I graduated Summa Cum Laude (3.9 GPA) at my PWI, and literally made all A's except one B which was in a physical class. So... there's no difference in the educational value at an HBCU (my PWI counselors were actually raving over me when I first transferred, because Spelman is such a hard school to get into and has such a small incoming class every year. They were amazed that I would leave Spelman and come there, and also expected great things from me because I had been a student at Spelman. And no, it wasn't a small PWI. It's one of the bigger North Carolina universities.) Also, the idea that black people get in college easier, because we're dumber or whatever, is obviously bunk. You don't earn your GPA because of "affirmative action." Grades are given based on the quality of your work. My work was obviously Summa Cum Laude quality.
I don't know how I feel about this. I am all for diversity but when I saw that the valedictorian of an HBCU was a white guy, I couldn't help but feel some kind of way. Would he have been the valedictorian at a predominate white college? He looked so smudged and even the little bit of his speech felt slightly off. My thing is when you are a straight white male in this world, life is slightly easier for you and opportunities are easier for you (if you chose to take advantage of them) but black people (especially men) its not as easy for us in this world. HBCU were created because we couldn't attend white universities for most of the existence of what we know as the traditional university. Times have changed but these colleges now feel the need to cater (even when they say they aren't, they are behind the scenes) to white america for funding, so now these white kids are are coming to these HBCU's, outshining black students, getting scholarships and will eventually take over (very systemically of course). Most of these white kids already come to the University with an advantage. I don't know I'm kind of ranting, but again I do feel some kind of way, especially with that one white guy. He rubs me the wrong way. Maybe someone can help explain what I mean lol.
J R I can help you, you're a racist.you are welcome
So because he’s white he should automatically disqualified? What does that say about you?
So what if it were a black student from the ghetto and a black student from a middle class neighborhood up valedictorian? The middle class student would also have came in more privileged. Right? What if that black students parents were a doctor and lawyer? Would you still feel “some kind of way”?
You said it yourself, the school can't survive off of black money...You answered your own question. And yes he did look smug or rather very comfortable there. Like he knew he belonged there. But you don't think he should feel that way because he had an easier journey to the school. But we don't know that. Everyone's journey in different, even two black male students can have drastically different journey's. People used the word smug to describe Obama during the beginning of his first term. He look like he felt like he belonged there. More so than many of the other presidents throughout history. Do you think Obama had to work harder than any other president in history to make it to the white house? Think about that for a minute.
J R i agree
2:12 dude on the right looks like Michael jordan
Open question. Is it safe to say that a percentage of hard working studious individuals and faculty, would find it ridiculous in the climate that exsists in the United States, that a white student at an overwhelmingly black college would be sitting at the head of his class, when the college was conceived to give exceptional black students a platform? If so, what is that percentage, and why do you think the college found it necessary to elevate this white student? I'm a white Canadian, and I'm interested in the perceptional differences between our two countries when it comes to the relations between races. Thank you.
Donnie Brasco , it's a question, not a statement, do you have trouble with the distinction?
Joshua parkwood is a hero!! Thank you. We appreciate you
That's some funny shit. The only white dude on the whole campus is the Valedictorian!
He was one of a few, but not the only. Anyway, if you find that funny you'll find this hilarious lol!
www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/Notre-Dame-Has-First-Black-Valedictorian--90355079.html
+Iknow everythinghahahahaha! Thank You For Posting This, That Was A Great Article I Am Happy For Her!
Yeah, Im sure that raised a few eyebrows. He does seem like a great guy and brave quite frankly...but still...yikes
Proud Infidel oh dont get it twisted honey. our people are humble and show humility. he wouldnt have been valedictorian without the support of the other students. come correct. you guys really need to see the log in your own eyes before you try to point out a spec in others
"i am proud to be your brother" is what he said. ..... do you now see whats wrong with america?
I love the unity
I'm black but had a close white friend from grad school attended a black college with me...he had more popularity with the chicks and fun than I...I was an athlete and electrical engineering major which kept me quite busy...but we both are now successful engineers for over 25 years now...we went to the black college Daytona Beach Reunions the Greek step shows and partys...so if any whites that want to attend a HBCU there's nothing holding you back
My son applied to, was accepted and attended a “black” college in Washington, D.C. he wanted to make a difference. His time there was miserable - the black students treated him horribly. We, his parents were so happy when he matriculated to a non-black college, went on to a prestigious law school and is very successful. Thank God he made the decision to leave!
Did he say at the end...I am proud to be your "Brother"???...the facial expressions behind him were intense.
Living in Detroit, I was the ONLY white boy in any of my classes until 7th grade, when I left Detroit.
From the time I left Detroit I had ZERO non-white boys in any class until college.
Segregation is real, racism is real, all perpetrated by the parents and elder generations.
Jason Kvasnak We love you Jason
You forgot the part where you're projecting your own racialised fear-based fantasy onto a stranger on RUclips while making the unfounded claim that he was [assuredly] "getting beat up by blacks everyday" because of this.
nopes4545 You rock! Ignore him.. he's jealous of black people hense why he logs into RUclips and makes comments as such 😂
Dickert Lardfart Go away. We don't want your hateful comments here. You're basic trash lol.
I live a few blks from Morgan State University. I have always seen different types of students. School is school. Congrats, Josh.....
I HATE the fact that when mentioning the growing population of other races they spread the misconception that being latino is a race in of itself. THERE ARE BLACK LATINOS!!! Identifying as a latino isn't referring to a specific race but more of a unified cultural history and experience. Latinos comes in all races: we are black, white, indigenous, mulatos, mestizos, amerindian,..... This needs to get more attention than what it's getting.
These guys are all super cute. Do HBCUs attract a certain type of white boys?😆
White men who are attracted to Black women tend to be exceptionally physically attractive.
Are George Lucas and Roger Eibert considered to be exceptionally physically attractive?
+JPfromFlint Roger Ebert is dead but had loot. George Lucas has a billion dollars. I'd fuq em.
how do yall even know this person is black?? let alone a woman??? lol
stephanie odonnell im talking about the girl that first replied to the thread
Out of all the college's I have toured around this country. Which was mainly Ivy league college's and HBCU's etc..... Historically black college's are by far the best.
It's always been a dream to go to an hbcu for me... approaching 12th grade year I'm slowly realizing they don't offer what I want and I'm dreading the decision of abandoning my life-long dream. Every hbcu I've talked to or researched does not offer culinary arts degrees and they always tell me "I'm sure you can find a 2-year or community college that does though"
Did you chk Bethune Cookman and Edward Waters?
Johnson n Wales in Miami is a great culinary arts college so is FIU.
Historically Black Colleges have always had many white students. I remember when attending Southern University Law School in Baton Rouge, there were many white students who came specifically black law school to get great education. That was back in 1986.
I went to a very diverse college(Asian,Black,Indian,Latino,White etc) in NY the majority population was Asian and we were all cool (I'm black)
Stony brook?
Baruch
Makes sense being that you guys have that kickass business school.
Thank you , proud Bearcat for life and I became a college lecturer lol my professors would find this so funny the student who most wanted to be an analyst became an educator lol
I almost went to Clark Atlanta University. But I met this dude who went to the Art Institute of Atlanta, therefore I enrolled into the Art Institute. lol It was predominantly black but wasn't an HBCU. But, that man was fine and chased his ass. Had him for 9 years and we broke up because I moved to LA and he didn't want to move with me.
Andru Voss gay ass
I'm sorry for your loss but I hope you found love in LA
this is so interesting. I'm from the u.k. and ive just realised there are no HBCU at all! even though there are loads of black communities especially in london. I wish i could experience life at a HBCU, my university currently has 0.7% black students which is shocking. and student experience is very different for black students
MomoKabbani This is because the UK didn't experience racial segregation like the US did.
I bet MY LIFE if it was an hwcu a black won’t be accepted. 🤦🏾♂️
There was a black only fraternity on my campus. They said they were open to everyone, but they never elected to bring in white students in their history. There was also a "black men think seminar" which literally said "blacks only".... I'm an Australian and studied there in the US for a while, and I'm still baffled by all of that shit. I honestly looked around and asked others "is this not racist to you?", and most people just said it sounded like segregation, but also mentioned there was no use in speaking up as they'd be shut down by many of the liberal students for racism.
One of the guys that joined my fraternity (I'm white by the way), was black. He was in my pledge class but half way through the semester had to leave because his parents didn't want him in a fraternity with white people. He actually told us that and left to join the black only fraternity. Either way, schools like the one on this video are fantastic. As long as organisations and people are inclusive, then I'm happy.
Our social chair, brotherhood chair, and pledge class leader were black, one year prior our president was black. Three other guys in my pledge class were black and stayed, we had the most diverse group of guys, so don't tell me if my fraternity was exclusive or not. I don't care about all lives matter, I honestly don't care about a lot of that shit, my main concern is why other groups of students could form these clubs excluding other races from them, not just whites. Sounds like everybody's just going backwards. Have no idea why you're being such an aggressive shit though, I mean, looking at your channel, all you do is watch anime and play Final Fantasy, so I can see why you're being so boisterous now that you're behind a keyboard, superiority complex much?
KURU Australia isn’t any better though they are pretty racist too
Racist piece of shit.
Rickmarine1 Do you even know the meaning of any of the words you typed? Did you not get past elementary school English? You're the only racist bigot here. Too bad you won't even know what means.
Jayla Jordan Racism is a belief that someone’s race is superior to others and I believe everyone is equal so fuck off.
White boy cute asf
TreyDiggz i like white boys and spanish boy😊
Boys**
TreyDiggz okay thats fine😐 black men dont appreciate black women anyways
Trey Diggz you need to stfu homie straight the fuck up.. I'm a latino that dates nothing but chocolate woman.. you got a problem with me bitch?
Trey Diggz a lot of the black girls I've dealt with don't even date black guys lmfao
from my time at a HBCU, there were middle easterners in attendance. Some from India also though none were Caucasian or Asian (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc.)
I've always wondered if the HBSU were subject to affirmative action laws as well. In Hawaii there are Kamehameha school which were set aside for people with Hawaiian ancestry, Since the 70''s they follow affirmative action laws and have to let other ethnicity in now.
Bet he wouldn't come out alive if he went there today.
Just like confederate monuments. These should be taken out.
Such a good-looking white valedictorian at one of the best HBCUs in the country. This sounds like a white savior thing. We always applaud white people doing something easy - in his case, supposedly going out-of-the-box and attending an HBCU. Meanwhile, non-whites go through the worst crap their whole lives, and no one cares. How awful must it be that one of the few white students at Morehouse was valedictorian? And famous and beloved for it? It's like he's Oscar Schindler "saving" black people. By the way, there are a good number of Asians at HBCUs. A Cambodian American, Jivan Atman, went to Spelman and created the Blasian Narratives - documentary-theater project about Blasians.
It's hard to hate someone for something they couldn't control. Especially if you're smart enough for college.
Wait, he cute tho!!
Joanne C. Right!!!!
Joanne C. - Pathetic.
Meanwhile: Detroit schools.
It is incredibly courageous for him to do this. Fascinating that a young white guy has enough wisdom to know at his age and stage in life to know the value of this perspective. Had I known of this I may have considered it myself. I admire the HBCU's for taking in all those that desire an education to enter.
My great respect for those white kids who wanted to join this diverse learning center. So proud of you.
Jon Mendez they are literally not doing anything great. All races go to school. Your color does not make you special to any school. If you are proud of him then you should be proud of Asian or black people who go to schools catered for white people
These black schools need more diversity
80% black? These universities need more diversity.
Well because it historically black universities and if you don’t know what that mean it mean that back then it was a university literally only for black people and there universities for white people only because of segregation back then in the US
kyle7412 What's the diversity ratio of Hebrew schools?? We were completely excluded but now expected to share our pie.
Huh?
@@faithfulrose5372It is 2022. There is no segregation.
The funny thing is...ghetto and college don't go together. You never think of a college as ghetto...you think of college as a way to get out of the ghetto if anything. College isn't as great as it used to be but I'm just saying....it's a pretty weird thing to think of a college as ghetto.
For 2 semesters I attended a “Black College” TSU in Nashville, TN. I got along with everybody until one of my professors let everybody in one of my classes know that I was attended on a minority scholarship. I am half Native American and half Greek/Irish but appear Caucasian. I was largely hated after that fact was singled out. It made it even worse because I was dating a few very gorgeous black women at the school. I eventually finished my classes and did not go back for another semester. After I was singled out it was one of the most racist situations I have ever been put through. I was treated with extreme prejudice. I only had about maybe 2 friends who would talk to me after that happened. I am sorry to say that racism is perpetuated in the fake news media to keep Americans “divided and conquered”. As long as we have unreasonable prejudices about each other we can never band together to fight the real enemy-our crooked government and the power that controls it-the Illuminati!!!
Diversity exists in thoughts, not skin color. No one owns the history of their skin color.
Smh. We can't have anything to ourselves.
you still have your jew inspired racism
The Pretti Chronicles I agree...we can't come to their neighborhood but times get hard they're in ours..
The Pretti Chronicles if a white person said that you’d be furious
Welcome to our world, sister. You want to fight for diversity and desegregation, it's a two way street. You can't eat your cake and have it, too.
Did you not watch the video? The school would not be able to financial survive with only blacks. Secondly, why would you need this only for yourself in this day and age?
RACISM is a form of wasted energy...im glad to see that there are some young white students who are willing to have an experience in black colleges...if WE spend more time resolving the problem instead of causing the problem we could become better as PEOPLE...questions...did we create OURSELVES...did we choose to be a certain COLOR...if we just THINK...lets admit our faults...FORGIVE...and LIVE...i pray that the younger generation be a better example!
I'm white and currently a high school sophomore. I live in a predominately black community and have almost always been the only white person in class. I want to go to a HBCU because of the history, culture and life lessons that I could learn that I haven't already.
I also hate to admit that I'm actually kind of afraid to go to a PWI because I have never been around any more white people than my small family and I dont know what to expect. The only thing I know about white people is what's on the media and what my classmates/community members say (often racist things). I know that race shouldnt matter black, white, Asian etc. But sadly we are brainwashed to think so.
All in all I dont know if I should go to an HBCU because I feel like my reasons are kind of mediocre and racially biased but I also feel like it would be an enriching experience in itself.
Can they just keep it Black students. I'm not trying to offend anyone but that's what the name is, Historically BLACK colleges/universities. I don't understand. the only reason why the black people wouldn't kick them out is because of white privilege. but I'm just stating my opinion.
Candy Art K what is wrong with you? An HBCU is open to every just like a PWI. These colleges were started out of necessity because of segregation. Letting different races is not tarnishing the school's history.
if they did that then they would be part of the damn problem.
Shiann Tolliver do you remember black people had to fight to go to PWI. I do not see any european people being threaten, spit on, slur names.....to attend a HBCU.
A, only allowing black students to attend is segregation, which is illegal in this country.
B, historically typically refers to the past. As in, in the past, it was a black school.
C, white privilege is not a thing. Was it a thing in the 19th and 20th century, sure. But now the topic of "white privilege" is irrelevant and useless. If you want things to change, provide actual suggestions and options and listen instead of just screaming about an issue from two centuries ago.
abby Two centuries ago? It hasn't even been 100 years since we desegregated this country.
4:29 - For the same reason blacks go to former white majority colleges, they are closer, the most prestigious for their grades or offer the courses they want. Its not a conscious effort nor are minorities taking on undue burden, quite the opposite. Black people are the most subsidized demographic in America, throwing money at them is not a solution to lagging performance.
You and your demonic thinking never under estimate me, that's how evil minds think!
years ago I went to a HBCU and there was only one white student who attended. he was quiet and uncomfortable but was being befriended by the students there by the time I left. I also graduated from a high school that was 99% black yet a white girl left a private school to attend the high school. whites never had problems there, in fact they were on every team, participated in every activity possible and they had a very pleasant experience there. on classmates they still reminisce about the good times they had.
It be hard to get into historically white college's unless you are dynamic, and even so your color is always in front of you with them, but at historically black colleges that we had to fend for ourselves to get because the whites didn't want us at there's, we become to accepting of white students who are just curious about black or just because they like black we let them in quicker than the white schools would, it's unfair that whites can come play in our back yards and be accepted and we can't or are limited in theirs.
Dezeri Smith Give me one example of an educational institution that is only largely inclusive to whites that won't allow you because you're black.
Lord this comment is three years old. My black son has gotten into several white colleges with no problems at all. All it took was a good gpa and good test scores.
