Facts all through. I sometimes feel like I can't relate to anyone but at least in my HBCU I still have some things in common with my peers. It's a nice feeling fr.
I wish I would've appllied to HBCUs instead of UPenn, Boston U, Georgetown, Yale and American University. I stayed at Howard in the Towers for one summer during an internship I did in D.C. and I had so much fun. Howard has a collective of Black people from different regions of the Diaspora from America to Brazil to Jamaica to Puerto Rico, to Dominican Republic to Nigeria, it's so much fun seeing and meeting your brothers and sisters from different regions. I was only at Howard for a summer and had a cultural shock. I couldn't even fathom being an actual student there for the school year and meeting more people.
Yes HBCUs are family oriented. You have a stronger sense of belonging at a HBCU than a PWI. Hence why PWIs have "black homecomings", "black graduations", "black NSO" ... they don't feel a strong sense of belonging which makes for a lesser than college experience in my strong opinion.
I am from Poland, and I am about to go to the univercity, this video matched at some aspects. You helped me to make a choice thanks for this and keep going!!!
My only problem with HBCUs (not necessarily theirs but white America) is that Blackness is associated with the "Urban" aesthetic - Hip Hop and RNB. In my experiences at a PWI, my white and Black peers laughed at the fact that I loved Rock and Country music along with House music. However, the general public, along with African Americans fail to realize that Rock music, Country music, Blues, Jazz, Electro/House, Gospel and every genre of music in America was created by African Americans. Throughout history, these genres were wrongfully stolen and white washed from African Americans. The music industry and media is ran by white men and it amazes me how Blackness is understood as just being "Hip Hop" because Black performers are forced by their white music executives to portray negative stereotypes in their music while white artists are allowed to perform any and every genre of music in a classy way. While I attended a PWI, I had the opportunity to take a Hip Hop politics course and that course discussed how Hip Hop has been commercialized into a multi trillion dollar industry that exploits and appropriates Blackness to the masses and how the same white men that run Hip Hop and force Black artists to glorify the destruction of the Black American community are the same white men that run politics, prisons, and the criminal justice system to oppress Black people. I wish my fellow African Americans would learn their history because our music has been stolen and also used against us. Without us, Rock music, Country music, EDM House, Hip Hop, nothing would exist; yet white America has stolen all of our music, white washed them and dissassociated them from us. It will always amaze me how white America has never created a music genre of it's own, yet the most successful artists in music are white 😑😑😑😑 White artists are always depicted in the "Pop" categories when Pop only means Popular while Black performers are depicted in "Urban" categories even though we created every genre. I wish Black people would also wake up because the music industry is forcing Black rappers to harm each other. I recently noticed Black rappers are forced to have life insurance under record labels because the white record labels force Black rappers to glorify crime, drugs and gang related activities in their music. Sure enough, these rappers die and the white ran record labels make money off of the rapper 😑😑😑 (Pop Smoke, Xtenction, Nipsey, Juice World, Tupac, Biggie, etc are all examples). Name white artist that die like this 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Get rich faster then become a philanthropist. Grab a list of the high paying companies, then reverse engineer how to get in those jobs, via colleges, scores, and skills. Then spend the rest of life giving away extra unearned income to black American youths from disadvantaged families...
@@MaxMcGadney yup. I'd suggest, disregard what we want to do, and just focus on doing what the economy is telling us to do. Don't have any allegiances to any school. My allegiance is to closing the racial wealth gap. Do whatever we can, legally and ethically, to make it happen... AMA Happy to help you brother.
I chose Spelman over Yale and have never regretted it
Even as an international student, I feel so welcome on campus. Enrolling at an HBCU was one of the best decisions.
I can’t wait to come to HU🇳🇬… I pray I get in😭

I definitely agree with you. Thankfully, outside of public settings, you do get to see the full range of music genres that people are into

not a bad idea
