      This could be a follow up to the movie: " Let the Right One In" with " Let the White One In"
      You can see this is tough for some of the black people there. They understand it is hypocritical to say ' no whites', when it was ' no blacks' for so long. With the direction things are heading in ( more positive with race relations), then there could be some white places that say ' we just want this to be for our race', and we just don't need anything like that anymore.
      Removing the restrictions for EVERY race is the only way to move forward in a positive direction. For some place to be against that because of HISTORY, it is wrong and backwards!,IMO
      No matter which way you look at it, regardless of the history, you MUST let white people join,too! If after world war 2 we just said " screw Japan , we are not going to allow them access to ANYTHING after what they did!" Japan would be behind and nowhere near where they are today
      No, the right thing was done and we helped them rebuild their infrastructure and society. If we had the same response after releasing slaves then black communities would be much stronger today. It comes down to economics, that is the only thing that truly separates us all. Had we helped to rebuild after the horrors of slavery, then we would all be much further along in this process. But, lets' not blame all of slavery on one race, as everybody was involved to some degree. There were also blacks that went into tribes and removed family members, brought them to the slave ports and sold them for money. Slavery is a disgusting mark on the history of human kind, not just white history.
      Yes, people were wronged, but we have to move forward and make the proper adjustments so that these things do not continue. It takes work from ALL SIDES!

      Also: That Robin Marcus lady, you could have switched her with some white guy that is the President of Augusta Golf and it would have sounded the SAME way, except for the white guy would have sounded like he is tpart of the KKK.
      He would have said: The game was created by white people and the culture was formed by white people, and letting any other race in would cause degradation of that community and culture.
      I'm sorry, but you just can't have it both ways. It will NEVER work. You can't have something that belongs to YOUR race, you have to consider it an achievement of the human race and open it to ALL races.
      (edit) while I do understand what she is saying.. she still has to be the bigger person and just hope that her ability to accept will rub off on the next generation and so on. It takes a bigger person to be better than the person that abused you.

In the 8th grade, I joined the African Heritage Club and had the experience of a lifetime. Mind you, we were young.. but as a person who's always had identity issues not looking like the rest of my family, I can safely say that intention is everything when you are an outsider. If your intent is true and your heart is open, you will be accepted, cared for, and loved in most scenarios. The intention is everything.

They teach that racism is the same as white supremacy, that only whites can be racist, and that racism goes together with a superstructure (government or industry) of power and authority controlled by white men. Ergo, any government where white men predominate is by definition, racist.

      I think that issue is most that is difficult to trace the line between try to change and try to contribute the development of the culture, and even the "main member" of that culture have difficulties to find the line causing misinterpretation and misunderstanding. Another thing that I think that people doesn't understand is that culture is not a monolithic thing. I'm gay, and often I find to thing about the history of LGBT civil rights activism, and how the Western culture and the culture of LGBT community changes, and these positive changes (also if even today there are critical situation especially on some stereotypes that influence me, and other LGBT people as today on our actions) were made also thanks the help of who are not part of the community (aka "allies").

      agreed! I'm a white person who grew up in both white and black spaces (my city is black, but my school was white), and I personally think that these black safe spaces should remain majority black. it should focus on not only a good education, uplifting communities that have traditionally not had access or acceptance in academics, but it should also have a focus on things like black history, african history, and teaching black people the things that our education system as a whole has suppressed and kept away from them. it should remain a safe space, but I also think that other groups should be allowed in, so that culture and knowledge can bleed out into other communities and hopefully one day it'll be taught by the american education system at large. I think sharing of cultures, when done right and respectfully, can be a beautiful thing. I have a big interest in anthropology myself and would really love to get a chance to know more about my black brothers and sisters that have surrounded and welcomed me ever since I was a baby. I'm glad you guys have these safe spaces, its always important to have a place to go where your surrounded by people like you, I know that as an alternative person (im a goth!). I'm fine being out and about with normal people, but it's something special to be surrounded by people who look like me, like the sane things I do, and who I can relate to. and I know it goes even deeper when it's something like race. sorry for the paragraph, I tend to talk a lot heh!

    I grew up in a town of all white people. Didn't have a black friend until I was 18. If accepted, I would not have done well in a place like Morehouse simply because I had no understanding of black culture or the black experience. It took time and wisdom to see and understand black people as human beings on the same level as me. I never thought of blacks as less, I just had no frame of reference. I'm now close to 50 and can completely understand why black Americans would want a space to call their own considering the generations of exploitation and abuse. Btw, finding out about those abuses was a journey I had to take on my own and receive serious pushback from many of my white family and friends when I try to bring up those facts. Having said all that, it took working with a befriending black people to understand the differences and similarities and I am a better person as a result. I'm not perfect, but I am human.

I have great empathy and compassion for these young adults. I also understand them wanting it not to change but if they would take say less than 10 students a year that are there for the right reason and help them be a better advocate that could be wonderful. Not all white people feel community with their race. I think those of us drawn to POC communities is due to lack of this within our own. We don’t have a culture, traditions or community.

      I also very much enjoyed this. Baring in mind this is coming from a white guy who, at school, college and most of my jobs, has been prominently around other white people. My social and romantic relationships were however much more diverse, which I feel were extremely important in making me the man I am today, with much healthier social views. I completely understand the gut reaction of feeling disrespected and fearful of white people coming into a deeply and historically meaningful place and threatening to disrupt and potentially ruin the culture and experience you have there. But I feel that the vast majority of students, in very simple terms, are angry and hurt because of racial disparities. So however undeserving your gut feels it is, they should be treat without racial disparity, as long as there are not so many they prevent deserving black students joining and all of them are allies or at least have an open mind that's willing to embrace new perspectives.

      And I'm nothing but shocked by this documentary!
      This whole institution shouldn't exist in this form, in the 21st century.
      And that these Black students think that they are in need of a _"safe space",_ meaning a place for Blacks only. Like it was written _(well Colored, but today they call themselves people of color anyway)_ on the signs during the times of legal racial segregation. In the US it's often called the "Jim Crow" era. But racial segregation was the standard before too. The majority of these Black students seem to come from Black high schools, in Black neighborhoods _(if they didn't went to private schools/have an affluent background)_ and live in a city with a Black majority, in case of population. Being run by a Black mayor/politicians. From what do they need a _”safe space”_ from? From this single White guy? Ridiculous!
      In South Africa it lasted until *1994 (!).* I remember a White South African/Afrikaner, Jost, coming to our class. Here in Germany. He already spoke perfect German. Since he went to a German speaking school.
      In South Africa they also have many, many predominantly White schools and colleges/universities. But even they have non-White students, from parents with money. Which now segregation line. But their attendance is generally not questioned, but even welcomed. Although there have been some issues about universities historically teaching the students in Afrikaans, not English. When they tried to change it, there were protests. But they had nothing to do with skin color, but language. South Africa is the only country with a monument built to honor a language. The Afrikaanse Taal Monument.
      It really baffled me to see that there are still this s.c. _”historical Black colleges”,_ with 99.X% of the student body made up by African-Americans!
      It's so wrong! The Nation of Islam or other Black nationalists/supremacists are definitely proud to see this today.
      And the schools wouldn't lose their identity by having a real mixed student body. Just like Yale or Harvard didn't, as historically White universities.
      I have to say that I'm kinda shocked, as someone from Germany, who didn't have a clue that these institutions exist as of today. Like educational _”Negro Baseball Leagues”._
      **JUST WOW!**

      Look at South Africa for racism against white people. People are frequently slaughtering whole white farm families and getting away with it because the government wants the white people out. Businesses can't start unless at least one black person is part owner there. Yes South Africa had apartheid which was horribly racist against black people until 1994 but now they have very anti-white racists ruling the country and letting criminals get away with whatever violence against white people they want.

      White children are taught by their parents that everyone is the same and to treat everyone the way you want to be treated. I think that kind of parenting leads to a rude awakening when interacting with the world and they see that other people's parents didn't do the same and that they're hated and there are powers actively trying to destroy them on a racial basis. The news, massive corporations, banks, educational institutions, etc are all against them and millenials kind of walked into this trap. It's really sad. I can't even imagine every major institution in Nigeria being actively hostile towards Nigerians or every major institution in Japan being actively hostile towards the Japanese. It wouldn't happen anywhere else outside the west unfortunately; it happens here.

I was treated absolutely wonderfully by both students and faculty alike...i was nerdy with thick black glasses and I looked liked Clark Kent so I'd always hear " SUPERMAN"!? Shouted Lovingly/ Jokingly in the hallways. the only problems I ever had were with inner city white kids believe it or not . My (black) friends from photography class ( football and basketball athletes) squashed that noise reallll quick when they found out. Surrounded the lunch table when it was happening. 😉 it was pretty amazing how instantly the bullying stopped after that. Still touches my heart and makes me emotional with gratitude to this day♥️.

      I like that, I know it takes time to grow a college’s infrastructure and stuff but it’s not like there is even a limit to how many people can enroll or anything. Scholarships are another story. Obviously you can see from my pic that I can’t claim to have any intimate knowledge of what being black is like but it seems to me that there is a terrible divide in our society, and yes white people are historically to blame for starting it hundreds of years ago but it’s going to take both sides to come together and I would just be concerned that a total exclusion policy will further that gap in the mind of these students. If instead there is a small but significant number of open minded white, Asian, Hispanic etc. students there learning laughing and working with the black majority it might go a long way towards mending these rifts, especially since this institution in particular sends so many great students into more influential positions like lawyers, authors, executives, engineers etc where they have a chance to really change the world in a positive and inclusive way. Not to mention when these people both black and otherwise go on to raise families of their own they can pass those values on

Its not the same and living with people, learning about their background first hand. thats how you build connections, thats how deeper conversations get started and literally the goal of having a white person understand the black experience. Who cares about the motive cause at the end of the day they will either choose not to accept and leave, or they will really prosper and are able to build better bridges and help slowly close the gap that its white and black. Either way they are going to learn something out of the experience. if thats not one of the end goals than hbcu's have become counter-productive.

      And that these Black students think that they are in need of a _"safe space",_ meaning a place for Blacks only. Like it was written _(well Colored, but today they call themselves people of color anyway)_ on the signs during the times of legal racial segregation. In the US it's often called the "Jim Crow" era. But racial segregation was the standard before too. The majority of these Black students seem to come from Black high schools, in Black neighborhoods _(if they didn't went to private schools/have an affluent background)_ and live in a city with a Black majority, in case of population. Being run by a Black mayor/politicians. From what do they need a _”safe space”_ from? From this single White guy? Ridiculous!
      In South Africa it lasted until *1994 (!).* I remember a White South African/Afrikaner, Jost, coming to our class. Here in Germany. He already spoke perfect German. Since he went to a German speaking school.
      In South Africa they also have many, many predominantly White schools and colleges/universities. But even they have non-White students, from parents with money. Which now segregation line. But their attendance is generally not questioned, but even welcomed. Although there have been some issues about universities historically teaching the students in Afrikaans, not English. When they tried to change it, there were protests. But they had nothing to do with skin color, but language. South Africa is the only country with a monument built to honor a language. The Afrikaanse Taal Monument.
      It really baffled me to see that there are still this s.c. _”historical Black colleges”,_ with 99.X% of the the student body made up by African-Americans!
      It's so wrong! The Nation of Islam or other Black nationalists/supremacists are definitely proud to see this today.
      And the schools wouldn't lose their identity by having a real mixed student body. Just like Yale or Havard didn't, as historically White universities.
      I have to say that I'm kinda shocked, as someone from Germany, who didn't had a clue that this institutions exist as of today. Like educational _”Negro Baseball Leagues”._

      @@monmon1741 "who started it" is a hard question to answer, but fun fact; When the Europeans came to Africa, they weren't the first to start slaving. If you look at an ethnic map of Africa, its a shit show. Africa was a continent of hundreds of thousands of tribes, too different to unite. The tribes constantly warred with each other and enslaved each other long before the whites showed up. When the whites, bearing strong and vast Empires came to Africa, the tribes willingly sold the slaves from their wars to the whites. Then the whites, after a few years, realized they could cut out the middle man and enslave them directly. The Europeans were united(at least compared to the thousands of tribes in Africa) and bulldozed the African continent. By the time the blacks actually tried to unite, it was far too late.
      There was never an "African" identity until a force far more powerful came along. My point is, White people aren't evil, they just *won* (in terms of historical power, not in any single conflict) because the Africans couldn't put aside their differences and unite to create meaningful forces. The closest they came was Egypt, which fell in the bronze age collapse.

      @Tyler Potts:
      You're perfectly right, no doubt about that.
      I just think there is also a third important factor: Tiago is not the only beautiful kid but his fellow students are as well, because they accept him as he is and embrace as well as support his efforts to be a productive and cooperative member of Morehouse's student community.
      Because by doing so, they do away with the old "eye-for-an-eye" principle - which only leaves everybody blind in the end, as great men like e.g. Martin Luther King have taught us.
      And that is important, too, because if the other students would act different towards him and for instance, segregate _him_ for being different, all his attitude and efforts would be in vain.
      So, in a nutshell:
      It is just beautiful to see _all of them_ being on the same page and thus making things work, because combating racism and segregation can only be successful if it is a "team effort", else it is doomed to fail in the long run. Always.

    Tiago seems like a good genuine dude with really pure intentions. He wants to be there to become a better person, a better leader while also learning about the "southern hospitality" and black culture. In situations like this where his intentions are pure and genuine. It seems like a perfect fit. We all shouldnt be so quick to judge others based on the colour of their skin

There are plenty of white British people who live in areas in other countries, for example Spain, where they choose to live in areas where they (British) are the majority. People are naturally drawn to what is familiar and ‘safe’. This behaviour is not just attributable to the black community. It’s attributable to all races and all nationalities.

They said he went to all black elementary and middle schools. He felt weird in an all white high school he said.

      I'm nothing but shocked! There is full-on racism all the time.
      This whole institution shouldn't exist in this form, in the 21st century.
      And that these Black students think that they are in need of a _"safe space",_ meaning a place for Blacks only. Like it was written _(well Colored, but today they call themselves people of color anyway)_ on the signs during the times of legal racial segregation. In the US it's often called the "Jim Crow" era. But racial segregation was the standard before too. The majority of these Black students seem to come from Black high schools, in Black neighborhoods _(if they didn't go to private schools/have an affluent background)_ and live in a city with a Black majority, in case of population. Being run by a Black mayor/politicians. From what do they need a _”safe space”_ from? From this single White guy? Ridiculous!
      In South Africa it lasted until *1994 (!).* I remember a White South African/Afrikaner, Jost, coming to our class. Here in Germany. He already spoke perfect German. Since he went to a German speaking school.
      In South Africa they also have many, many predominantly White schools and colleges/universities. But even they have non-White students, from parents with money. Which now segregation line. But their attendance is generally not questioned, but even welcomed. Although there have been some issues about universities historically teaching the students in Afrikaans, not English. When they tried to change it, there were protests. But they had nothing to do with skin color, but language. South Africa is the only country with a monument built to honor a language. The Afrikaanse Taal Monument.
      It really baffled me to see that there are still these s.c. _”historical Black colleges”,_ with 99.X% of the student body made up by African-Americans!
      It's so wrong! The Nation of Islam or other Black nationalists/supremacists are definitely proud to see this today.
      And the schools wouldn't lose their identity by having a real mixed student body. Just like Yale or Harvard didn't, as historically White universities.
      I have to say that I'm kinda shocked, as someone from Germany, who didn't have a clue that these institutions exist as of today. They come across to me as nothing but _"Educational Negro Baseball Leagues”._

It's one significant way to change our world.

    I didn’t go to an HBCU, but I did go to a university in the American southwest, where most students were either from Mexico themselves or had parents or grandparents from there. Being a white kid from the Northeast, I didn’t quite “get it” at first, because I’d been raised with so many preconceptions about the border and people from Mexico. I didn’t realize how prejudiced I was until I started going to this school.
    Looking back, I’m so glad I went there. Much like the gentleman in this documentary, it made me confront my own biases and everything I thought I knew. It made me have tough conversations, both with those around me, and with myself. It humbled me and in the end, I’m a stronger person for it, with much greater empathy and commitment to my fellow citizens.
