- On this episode of 'MINORITY REPORTS,' we met up with Tiago, a white freshman at Morehouse College, an HBCU in Atlanta that counts Martin Luther King, Jr. and Spike Lee as alumni.
We sat down with him to hear why he decided to enroll in the school, asked his peers for their thoughts on having white students on campus, and followed along as he showed us what it’s like to be one of very few non-black students at school.

"I feel like I belong here if I'm putting in the work. It's that simple."

what the hell??
Pick a different quote. Lots of good ones in here. Why a different one? While he's saying this he's shaking his head no. It's a classic tell that he doesn't fully believe what he's saying.
shaking one's head has nothing to do with belief... more with opinion
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.
I’m black at a all white school where’s my documentary😭😭😭
High schools are totally different I know multiple schools with only a couple of black kids and multiple schools with only a couple of white kids but what we really got to think of is the lack of Asian people attending schools 🤔🤔
@@remains10 lol as an asian i JUST realized that when u said it. I'm not sure how it is in most schools but in Chicago where i attended elementary school, HS, and college there are more whites and blacks that asians....
My school straight black kids only like 3 white people
I’m sorry that made me laugh 😂😂😂
@@remains10 I went to a school with low percentage of Asians and my experiences overall is being harassed a lot since I'm a minority
I really like him. He's not trying to act stereotypically "black", he's just being himself.
Just thinking that ,
@cm. CG ...e=what um did u read my comment lmao
@cm. CG .... ok um out of curiosity do you just go around clicking on youtube profiles and shooting your shot?
Exactly
drink brandi, I see you've had yours.
This is so insane. I go to the school Tiago graduated from in Miami and his father was my English teacher. I remember hearing about him going to Morehouse when I was in eighth grade. Seeing this on TH-cam is just awesome. Amazing amazing people.
That is insane.
The eggs on that kid.
As a white I am working in black community, they are so cool people 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I’m a HBCU grad here, and I don’t mind other racial groups attending. I feel like it’s a honor that they want to learn and embrace our culture. It is a problem if someone comes in and try to change the culture. We already have that at pwi.
I choose a HBCU because I wanted to learn more about me and my culture. I didn’t get that in my schooling where I was definitely the minority. We should be more concerned that people are trying to whitewash history, and devalue African American contributions. That is more concern to me. Let other racial group come on in, and experience our culture.
We need to ban HBCUs
That's amazing ❤
So let me ask. Is it racism to expect blacks to come into white spaces and respect our culture? To fall inline. Because it sure seems if a white college ever said what these people said it would be considered racism.
Do you see the double standard here?
The student is respecting the culture of the school and it's community. Hating him when you don't even know the kid or the work he put in then you are part of the problem. Its that simple
i think that anyone of any race can go anywhere,
@@midgitpower1187 exactly. So long as they are respectful good students there isn't any reason to hate. Unfortunately its sad to see people still think hating people for no reason is still allowed.
@Scott Davis no there are races ,one specie
@@midgitpower1187 have you tried that in real life?
@@10-AMPM-01 no but it should happen, like trump should be out of power, but it would take alot of instet
I like how this guy doesn’t try to be anything. He’s not claiming to be something he’s not. Real genuine guy
maybe hes a journalist for VICE
Charles ohhh yeah he’s so genuine.. says he doesn’t want to be black and is happy that he’s white and in the next scene while he’s talking to all his black friends at the table he sounds like a totally different person... unreal..
I dunno. When you hang around your friends you start talking like your friends and picking up their slang. Im definantely like that. I went to school in this country part of Illinois. And when I came back I had a small accent like them for awhile after years of being around them and talking to them every single day. That's human.
Alright that’s not being genuine though... it’s called being fake...
@@dakota481 All of us are influenced by the people we are surrounded by. It's a subconscious thing. No man or woman is an island.
I feel this so much. I grew up military family. I felt like my most comfortable space for growing and learning was Korean culture. Coming back to America was a culture shock for me. I’m proud of him for sticking with it and doing what he felt feels right. I think he’s intentional and genuine. Dedicated to learning and putting in the work.
I was in the Marines at 19. I can say that education showed me exactly how fucking equal we all were.
Me so hawny. Me love kimchi long time.
@@jameslucena1020 Thank you for your service and picking THE HARDEST branch? How? It takes a special kind of person to do so..
I have goosebumps. I'm a white guy, I've always played sports and had a lot of respect from that and giving it back. The culture and brother hood is what made me feel accepted in sports and in homes, Longest friendships I've had.
As a black woman I'm very disappointed with the professor's views. How the hell you gonna be against racism if you deny those of another culture and opportunity to learn of ours if they truly desire to it sounds hypocritical.
Jennifer James i agree......sounds like that professor is the wrong person to be pouring into these young mens' lives!
It’s disheartening...sometimes black professors become engulfed in their own ideals and philosophy that they blind themselves and forget the end goal. Equality! I’ve been through it as well and it’s sad.
Smh...
she, and a couple of others there are pretty much alt-right
I see your view but I also see the professors... of course you’re going to fear for HBCU’s if white ppl take over it won’t be an HBCU then what happens to the minorities ?
I respect this dude. He's not going there for any 'wrong' reasons, not trying to put on a show. He's just trying the get an education
On top of that he’s getting an education where he can learn how he can use the privilege he has in this country to help minorities from black teachers and students.
@@noshua2326 I think that's actually what he's looking for. I don't know that he actually vocalizes it, but he's clear he chose that college for a reason. clearly he wants that same education they're talking about that they use to navigate the world that is against them, but it definitely seems like he wants to use that knowledge to make that world better for them too.
And thats it
Fair enough
He also isn't oblivious to the fact he's the only white person there and knows there's a tension of sorts with him being there but still addresses it and just going about his business to get his degree.
Dude does have a level of my respect too
Majority of Black people are good people when it comes to love and hospitality but of course racism is everywhere in every race and community,I hope he stays safe and loved
He will get his partner at this college 😙😙
Generally all racial groups are good people, its just that the minority gets a higer voice and attention.

Morehouse is a prestigious college that has an impressive roster of alumni, and a lot of great minds and people.
And after hearing Tiago speak about his experience there, it's easy to see why he fits in so well.

I attended Morehouse and this is not new...I remember we had a Chinese student who was fully embraced...in fact he was more Afrocentric than I was 😂 and we jokingly called him Martin Luther Chin

Karl Yeah. Seems like every black student, employee and professor at Morehouse are racist assholes who start crying when they see white people.
Lol

@@joejones8454 now you know how it feels to be black in america
@@ero6102 i dont hare u cz ur color, people who do that are just ignorant
@@ero6102 so you condone people hating white people?
@@ero6102 actually shut up teally
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.
Well said, thegame656444 :)
Thank you for sharing an honest and genuine perspective. We all need to do this internal searching
Respect brother.
I’m not a POC but like Tiago I grew up with many who were. They were the safest, most loving and smartest kids I hung out with. I completely understand wanting to be there. 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.
Respect for sharing, must have been a very confusing and difficult journey! Ultimately great result though by the sounds of it.
I played football at a HBCU college. I was one of two white players on the team. I was treated like family from the first day until I graduated. I made dear friends there that I still keep in touch with today. I also have a Degree and a "Conference Championship ring."
Lol if they’d have gone to notre dame you think they have been treated like family? 😂😂😂 be honest you know the ANSWE is no
Were you a kicker?

This young man is trying to bridge the gap that most people dont want to acknowledge exists today and i fully support him and his endeavors
period
Riiight
I wounder do the white community thinks that when a black student wants to go to a predominately white college just saying.I Definitely don’t think that they would think a black man will be trying to bridge the gap they are just not that excepting to us blacks but we are excepting to almost anyone just saying🤔
@@ashleyfamily9143 Probably not, probably just think its just another black student going to college lol I definitely don't know, but are there any predominately white colleges with the cultural idea that its mainly for white culture? Serious question. I've never heard of one...but to be honest I've never looked into or cared to look into it.
@Ellis Pham don’t predominately white colleges have a predominately white culture anyway?
I really like how the vice reporter wasn’t giving his opinion, he let the people in the video speak.. Vice need more reporters like him 👌

Look at how happy he is. That brought tears to my eyes. So happy to see his success.

I really enjoyed this documentary. I also am so proud for all of these young men who are willing to not see color but intensions. I also think about my brown Hispanic granddaughter and how will she fit into any culture. Her sister not so much bc she is fair skinned. The only problem she has is for people to believe that she is Hispanic. God bless these young men. I pray that they all succeed in whatever is most important to them.
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”._

Kudos to the young man and good luck to him!
This was amazing to see. Tiago will be a meaningful figure that will help to merge bonds between the black and white community. He will be as a bridge.
And just to add: isn't Tiago the kind of guy you would want as a friend? He is articulate, pure intended, inclusive, nice, smart, handsome and just a cool ass dude.
I will leave this here as it is. 🧡
Its crazy how the older people at the college dont like the idea of him being there, but everyone that has met Tiago, completely understand why he is there.
I get that. The older people grew up on a generation where slavery just ended. So maybe they still remember closely the feeling of tension. But the younger ones are supposedly more educated and living on a era which is more united by the internet.
not crazy. he lived through the extreme racist and why this school even had to open to begin with. I'm sure it still haunts him
And they're the ADULTS.. See that's why the CHILDREN are the future (lol 😏).
Jesus loves you 😊.
@@JoeMama-sd2kl Slavery just ended? What?
@@JoeMama-sd2kl No one in this video was anywhere remotely close to being born when slavery ended.
Coming from a black person, you can’t tell him that he is not welcome just because you see the color of his skin. He is trying to educate himself on black culture and history to enlighten himself for the better and black, yellow, brown or white this is what we need in America for the better and so we can stand strong.

I WELCOME the Young White Brother.
Need more of this.
Much More.
This Country has to Come to Grips with this and the FUTURE IS BETTER OFF WITH KIDS LIKE THIS.
Agreed brother, we must come together as one
You can't compare, American black people with regular black people. They mostly can't speak their own language and don't know their culture. There are even that don't know their country from where their parents came.I did not come up with this, but educated people did! American black people are on there own, because they kind of created their own culture. Because of racism and slavery.European black people are more different and know more about their culture/language.I don't know ,why in Europe it is so different.
I agree with this
I think Tiago changed a lot of lives through what he did. It takes character. I do understand some of the concerns the professors and even the students had but in order for things to change and move forward this needs to happen more. Otherwise things remain as they are.
Lol takes zero character you idiot blacks are nice to you people for some strange reason
1:20 can you imagine if me (a white person) said I felt disrespected by black ppl at my historical white school.
Context is key, HBCU's were a response to the similar sentiment that a black enrollee would be disrespecting the sacredness of white institutions. It was the white institutions duty to uphold this sentiment up until the changes in social and political thought resulting in the Higher Learning Act of '65 (and Civil RIghts Act '64). Bascially, you can't really fault the guy for feeling "disrepsected" for something as caustic as a white dude enrolling in an all-black school lmao.
@@d.casanova it’s my opinion, I can fault him.
@@d.casanova it’s racism, simple as that. He feels “disrespected” just because a white man who he’s never met wants to have an education at his school? Whatever might have happened in the past with that school doesn’t matter because that white man didn’t do anything wrong yet the black guy feels he shouldn’t come there just because he looks different? Plus i thought they were fighting against segregation, why are they now wanting to segregate themselves😂
I'm black and don't see nothing wrong with this he seems like a good guy

I'M black and I have my opinions on white folks, and I understand what they are saying,but we have to keep it real this took a lot of courage to do this, and I like the way he thinks of the college.
we all bleed the same in the end.
I was a skinny white kid with blue eyes, raised by a Trinidadian family (my mothers side), in a neighborhood that was heavily South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Caribbean.. 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.
Well said Eli
@Kamilla Jacobo Confused at my comment or the video? I don't think anyone said they were an ethnicity which they are not. I'm confused at what you're referring to. Can you elaborate a bit.

@@stxfdt1240 💯
@CitizenOWorld Now I'm even more confused.
White person here. I totally understand the concern of critics who are wary of opening up the "sacred space" of a traditionally Black college to others, AND I think it's amazing and redemptive to see this young man thrive there. I hope and pray that these fine institutions will have the funding they need to THRIVE for years to come, without compromise (whatever that may mean for them).
I can completely respect the gentleman who said we come here to be human not to feel dehumanizing like I started watching this with a completely different perspective the intelligence and kindness in the c ounces of these you men and women gave me a better understanding

My chest nearly burst with pride when my second oldest son was accepted to Morehouse earlier this year. I don't care if he's sharing a classroom with white, Asian, and Hispanic students during his studies. If they're at the school then that means they earned the right to be there too. I only care that my son achieves all of his dreams, and accomplishes his goals.
Congrats man

Agree he cool!😊
This is my favorite interviewer on VICE... he doesn’t interject his own opinions, he asks the tough questions, and allows people to speak their own mind. I wish more media networks would have that.
He is the only reason I started watching anything from Vice.
True that. I have my own opinions, that's fine. The pinnacle of that understanding is understanding that I DON'T understand everything. Getting those perspectives out there is important. And for this individual, I'm hoping that he not only makes a better world for himself and others, but that the institution is well-respected, and that the conversation continues to greater and even more fruitful heights. I don't think that is to much to ask for now.
He does inject opinions, but he seems to inject them whn saying "in my opinion" while letting everyhing play itself out. HArd to know what editing does, but he seems legit
I honestly can’t stand the others.
Yeah, I don’t like Vice but this guy is really good at making content without bias.
This is 2023 they still talking like it’s 1950s Mississippi
Hes now Assistant Vice President community investing and development at CITI. Seems like a really nice person.
To anyone that is wondering how Tiago is now, he graduated Suma Cum Laude and now a HR Analyst at Citi in New York.
Good for him. I'm an HR Analyst too. I bet I paid a hell of a lot less for my degree than he did. HBCUs are not affordable. I don't believe in school loans. I'd never send my daughter to an HBCU cheifly because of the cost.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
@@KP-hi1om I agree, HBCUs and other private colleges are extremely expensive! My son graduated from New York Farmingdale state university in 2020. My daughter graduated from high school this year 2022. She is going to SUNY (state university New York colleges, including nassau community college). She wants to be a criminal lawyer and will attend the CIty University of New York School of Law in New York City . Which is still part of the (SUNY/CUNY ) New York State college network that she can transfer to and get the same quality level of education that is more affordable to minorities and women. If she does public service (attorney general office ect) for three years her college loan will be forgiven. Young people go in debt owing over $100,000 because they go to these “name brand” expensive private universities especially if the go out of state. People need to wise up and stop going to these expensive colleges for status! 🙄 read job postings they never specify what college you went to, they require Bachelors degree, Master’s degree, JD degree, nursing license ect it never say only want Princeton or Howard University graduates! People wake-up! 🤷🏾♀️
I had wondered what became of him - thanks
That's great. I'm happy for him because he seems like a truly open-minded & deserving person.
... It'd be also great if he remembered to donate back to his college as well...!!! Great video...!!! 👍
I was a "white" kid at a predominantly and historically "black" high school. 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♥️.

Mark Landwehr, it’s more about being around others who you wonder if they assume superiority, or might want to do you harm. It’s not against a unified America. It’s about being safe. It’s a terrible feeling to wonder if people consider themselves with the right to do harm. Higher learning is tough already, so safe space is a relief.

Four years late to the comments, but this was truly an amazing piece. All the doubt or mistrust of allowing non-traditional students can be extinguished by the iconic force of identifying as Morehouse Man or woman. I loved this response from faculty to the concerns of students and alumni. I would have been proud to have graduated from such a school, the sheer significance of the rich history, culture, and resilience of the founders mission is inspiring.
it's important to add, that had these students been at a white college, these discussions would have been met with such resistance. This is why they choose to be there.
_"...an amazing piece..."_
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”._
**JUST WOW!**
There is nothing wrong with a white person attending a Black University especially if the rationale is to acquire an education of some sort.
As long as they meet the requirements the school ultimately decide who gets in or not.
The former professor said that racism can only exist where the structure is there to discriminate. Then she said she wants the school to reject white students. Isn't that structured discrimination?
legislative, government-imposed structure.
@@tanler7953 Racism is racism...discrimination is discrimination. Cherry picking or choose our own narrative to please one's emotions doesn't change the gist of "racism" or "discrimination". Adam Montgomery has a good point in his assertion. A victim of an oppressor can ALSO be the OPPRESSOR in future altercations. Happens all the time with children that were abused...yada yada yada.
@@wiseguy617 I'm with you on this. I was trying to explain it from her perspective because what they teach in universities is different than what the average person would call racism. 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.
Tan Ler so racism didn’t exist in the northeast in the 1950s and 1960s since it was de facto segregation and not de jure, right?
@@tanler7953 That's why people so often get confused with the semantics. SYSTEM RACISM DOESN'T EXIST in the country in our present time...but it most definitely has in the past without a doubt (Colors only...whites only....perfect example). But, INNATE RACISM will ALWAYS EXIST...because humans will always contest that which is different from themselves! Racism is a thought...DISCRIMINATION IS THE ACTION. So, all of us...every human on this earth discriminates against something or something...but doesn't necessarily make them racist. However, a person that is racist will definitely follow with the action of discrimination! Hell, you and I could create a basketball team. If selecting a point guard...you select the more agile, slimmer guy...over the slower, overweight guy....you'd be discriminating. Is it morally right? NO! But is it realistic in terms of the ultimate goal of winning a championship? HELL YEAH! If you're giving out participation awards...give the position to the latter.

This was the best and most well done of all vids I looked at on TH-cam this year... bar NONE!
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.
I live in Texas which used to be part of Mexico and I was still surprised to learn I have a great grandfather who was a Mexican national.

Cece Hasan facts
I think what he meant by changing his mindset was to help him further expand his knowledge on what he initially wanted to experience at the HBCU.
No she was right he literally said coming there it changed the mindset that because hes white hes more deserving, intelligent, etc. He came their wanting to prove that the way he was probably raised to think was incorrect and wrong. Either way if she was involved physically to help him change the way he thought or just her presence of being there either way she helped influence him and change his views.
And it's racist to assume he even had a certain mindset just because he's white.
I was looking for this comment 😁.
I'm a white guy and I went to an historically black college - University of Maryland, Eastern Shore. The school also catered to foreign students. So, White Students were definitely the minority.

I highly recommend it.

@@daniellemeyer8568 which is entirely understandable, but many of them do want him there.

She told me that it was a waste of time and money. I'd love her to know that i have two masters degrees and graduated with honors.

Damn thats really upsetting….. have you reported this to the NAACP or the HBCIS services(they would also offer various scholarships or grants depending on your case)….this teacher needs to have their job took away for trying to (and probably succeeding in other cases) ruin someones future. Do you mind if i ask their name and what class they taught? Also what high school you went too. Because i think i can get them off the job, assuming they still have it.

So divided that the replies to this comment are divided.
The fact that we as Americans define people by being “white” or “black” blows my mind.
Big Daddy we didn’t start it tho whites did do you not remember segregation
This is the Americas...it’s just as worse in the Caribbean and South America.
@Lilslim 650 Maybe you should ask them?
Race came about in the 17th Century. American slave owners who were in the minority used the concept to divide and conquer the masses. Before Race was used to separate people, people were English, Irish or German etc. The Ruling Class came up with whiteness to help divide them from people of color who were targeted for colonization and Imperialism.
Big Daddy also the fact the we want racism gone but still have “black” and “white” colleges. It’s literally keeping segregation alive..
I'm of mixed race black/white. I have struggled through school, due to my own lack of effort early on, and faced many naysayers and people who were quick to tell me what I could and couldn't amount to out of high school. I stayed the course and ended up with my doctorate the Lord willing. When it came time to apply for my doctorate program I applied to 2 HBCUs, had great recommendations, good grades and tons of life experience and 1000's of hours work experience in my desired field, showed my ability to fight, balance/thrive in a long term successful marriage, (18 years and counting) be a dad to my kids, support my family and manage to stay committed to my goals. Not a single one of them gave me an interview or even a look. In fact one of them took my application money and never even responded with anything at all. That was a bit disappointing as I would have loved to attend an HBCU, however things still worked out. Glad to see this kid get in there and do his thing. We all have to find our own way.
@@life101son Thank you for the feedback! Glad I shared. I did not take it too personally. I actually got into and graduated from the number one school on my list but I thought I didn't have a great chance of getting in there. As it turns out they read my application/personal statement and wanted to talk with me in person, so they offered me an interview. I even had an interview at another school which is a predominantly white school in Utah as they were also very impressed with my journey. I find it kind of odd that none of the HBCU's even bothered. I mean that's fair because that's life but I am proud of being half black and would have been proud to go to one of those historically black colleges. I don't know what HBCU's are looking for but it was not me haha. I feel that if you want to be immersed in the culture it would be great experience but if your goal is to get a higher education and succeed in life the barriers that existed to necessitate those schools are no longer a factor and your chances of getting into any college USA are just as good if not better.
Not allowing them is against everything MLK stood for.

Richard Heath wtf bro dismiss your self think about what you said and think about how we got to be free
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.
This was dope. His message was " I met a Morehouse man and wanted to go to the institution that helped him become who he was" . simple. He fell in love with that college and stives to become a man from that place.
It is a beautiful story and he is a beautiful kid!
Thank you - best comment in the whole thread!
He’s so chill, just enjoying his time, learning about the culture and getting his education. It’s other people who have a problem with it.
Journey 2Asia Well said.
@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.
This guy should run for public office.
I am going to enjoy watching this as a Black woman (British and African). Why? Black people are nice.
There may be reactionary racists but most Black people are kind. Britain is different- we don't have predominantly Black or White Colleges in Britain, although we have privilege based on Class and Wealth - a clique - so most of the time, the people of colour found in these places (not all) are from African and Asian Nations.
Now these Colleges are making an effort for POC in Britain 🇬🇧
Back to this - If I see any nasty blacks, in this video - I will be shocked. Blacks are forgiving - Hello - Nelson Mandela.
My (white) British Guardian ad lidem, lived in Nigeria for 25 years and when he retired back to Britain, he would boast, until his death that those were the best 25 years of his life. It was the same vice versa - Nigerians loved him and didn't want him to retire, because of the way he was. Very kind and helped many Nigerians where he worked, training and promoting them at a time when most positions of power were held by expatriates, until Independence and many expatriates were forced to leavd as a result of Nigerianisation and he was impacted by this. However, because of who he was Nigerians didnt want him to leave and were ready to challenge the Government etc. He decided it was best he left for the sake of peace. Why my shared story is that - it is the character of the individual that let's you know who they are. Some people relish living in hate and will use every 'excuse', 'isms' to live in that state of mind eithef because they benefit from it or they seriously need "Inner Healing abmnd Deliverance Ministry" to deal with the deeper isdues they have because "Hurting people hurt others and healed people heal others".
Not all whites are racists.
When I came to Britain as student in the early 1980s- he invited me to stay in his home, instead of the Hostel mum had found me. He became the dad I couldn't remember (as my dad died when I was 18 months). He helped so many Nigerians but in the case of mum and I he loved us and wanted to care and help.
Mum had become a widow at age 23 and left with her only child of 18 months after her husband had been killed by his own siblings. Mum remained a widow till her death in the 1990s vowing never to marry again.
My relationship with my Guardian ad lidem soon changed from family friend to father and daughter, we became so close that I opted to call him "dad". On the day I told him I was going to call him "dad" from hereon in, he burst into tears.
I phoned my mum in Nigeria to let her know that our family friend was now more than that to me - he was now dad. Mumsaid it didn't surprise her I felt that way about him.
Sadly he too died in eatry 2000s - he'd suffered several strokes etc towards thd end. Whites and Blacks could never understand why intead of leaving to practice the Law, I had spent yesrs studying ad qualifying in, I spent it caring for him in his last days. I became the daughter he never had. He stepped in when no one asked him to be there for a widow and her toddler, why wouldn't that toddler (now a grown woman) be there for him?
I will be disappointed and shocked, if I see blacks on this video displaying discriminatory tendencies and if they do, I would suggest thry go receive some "Inner Healing".
I am always shocked when I watch Documentaries where a white person goes to the furtherest remote village somewhere in Africa and they say with surprise- "The peple were really nice and welcoming". Of course they were. I'm not ssying this because I'm African, now British- go to the poorest home in Africa (let me say Nigeria, where I'm from), they will go all out to welcome you and make you feel at home with the little thry have. Hospitality is "key".
Age 60 plus years on, and I can confidently say most Blacks are welcoming and Hospitable - No matter what! If you don't experience that - then I'm sorry - that person is the problem or there are other issues going on. This young man would hopefully have experienced (because this video is 5 years old), what black people are really like not what some Racist, Elitist, Misogynistic, Anti American ( Koo Stark and Meghan), Misogynoir, Cruel # Toxic British Press expresses about Black people.
Hence many of us have taken personally the attacks levelled at our beautiful Princess and Duchess of Sussex - Meghan and our handsome dashing Prince Harry, whom some of these disgusting papers turned against simply because he married an American and woman of colour, whom they have abused and painted so badly so the gullible can hate her as well. When in fact the goal was they never wanted any American of any colour within our British Royal Family.
Despite our late queen wanting Meghan and wanting change in the staus quo and Modern Britain being very Multicultural with many mixed marriages.
Yet those Newspapers are still stuck in the 1700s and claim Brits agree with their cruelty towsrds Harry and Meghan- when in fact its not true. There is a larger sikent majority of Brits of all colours who love H&M, but lack the public platform to express how we feel
It’s almost 2020 why is this shit still going on

I loved learning about Morehouse today, thank you
A good piece. I think it a good idea to allow "non-traditional" students into HBCU's, though the percentages should be managed. if someone chooses to be there who has a background like Tiago, or someone that has a genuine love and desire to be around our people then they should have the opportunity. It's one significant way to change our world.
"The CIA is watching you. They're like... 'we're losing one!" That was fuckin funny.

@Dissent leads To censorship bro what?
I understand both perspectives as I have two degrees from Howard University and currently teach at another HBCU that has students of all backgrounds in attendance. It's a state University and unlike Morehouse or Spelman it's not clear to non Black students that we are an HBCU.

Tiago used to go to my high school. The “predominantly white” one. I didn’t really know Tiago that well but his dad was my teacher for a year and that man was the wisest and most caring person I ever met in my life. I dont know much about Tiago but I know that with the man who taught me so much raising him I know he deserves that chance to immerse himself the way he intended to.

yo dude, how should you behave amongst asians? or mexicans.
yeah, what's the difference in beeing around an asian guy and a mexican guy?
if you look at a white person and you think: "could he be a racist?"
then it's unlikely he is more racist than you!
People need rough friends to know how to handle situations. When someone ask you "why are you hear?" You parrot it back then say exactly. Very beautiful only seeing he only had one person have a problem with him.
"Reverse racism" doesn't exist, it doesn't matter the color of your skin if you hate someone for being created different, then its just called racism. Hatred never accomplished anything good, nor will it.

“When were white people ever enslaved or oppressed?”
For thousands of years before the Atlantic slave trade or Arab slave trade even had a name.
What a ridiculous thing to say.

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.
Great Video.
Because it's heavily embedded in our history. Of course, it's going to still be a topic of discussion. There are still issues and controversy that is overlooked today.
Yeetus Delitus I hate it so much. Talking about it, and putting so much focus on it just divides us even more. I just want to live 😂
Ye just do it like europe lol come to us
Because racism has been systemic and embedded in the institutions. The necessity of HBC came from their historical exclusion from other educational institutions. The colleges literally wouldn't exist if racism in this country didn't either.
I feel like it's necessary for them to have these kinds of conversations. They experience it on such a different level as anyone in other parts of the world, especially in country where only one race predominates.
“I’m 0.1% black” - some white guy
I personally feel like it’s okay to want to preserve the HBU to retain it purpose for which it was set up but be open to individual who uniquely have a desire to learn differently regardless of color and race. At the end of the day; that’s one more person that understands the influence of diversity, which does not necessarily mean skin color but mindset which is what these universities expose you to see and think in your journey through life. That goes with you everywhere in life and no one can take away the right mindset.
I just feel like if we keep thinking in terms of white and black we are never going to get anywhere. Let's just be people.
DYNAMITE DJANGO that’s really unfair to say though... I absolutely agree that what happened in the history of black people is disgusting,disgraceful, horrendous, however I have always loved people of colour and have also always fought for the oppression of people of colour. It’s not fair to lump us all together because you do have many white allies. I have never been oppressed because I am white and a woman however I will not oppress any race or accept just standing by while someone is being oppressed.
Amen! well said.
The generations of today are more sensitive and savvy to what race is and to be honest how it doesn’t matter.
All the people who are in college nowadays weren’t even alive when all the horrendous things were happening. I understand that there are racist aspects of society even today but assimilated society is never going to happen if you don’t stop with the butthurt
@DYNAMITE DJANGO You're part of the problem.
@DYNAMITE DJANGO Because you dislike white people for actions that were taken when they weren't even alive, and apparently you don't think we should just see people as people.
It really boggles my mind how some people think that skin pigmentation has anything to do with a persons mind capacity.
@Promotional Inc. : That is the absurdity of the world we live in.
@Ethan K not even sure what that is suppose to mean...
@Ethan K well you don’t have to tell me this. This is information I’ve known for a long time.
Thank you, well stated👏👏
