    I see why black people that go to hbcus are so confident....it just seems like going to a school in white spaces can low key make you question your self.

    • @gfunkin2
      @gfunkin2 4 ปีที่แล้ว +90

      This can be the case. The opposite can also be true. I know being in mostly white spaces since I was a kid -- but also with strong ties to black communities on multiple continents -- gave me confidence. A lot of (black) people who don't experience white people til later give them too much credit. I saw them, and all their warts, from very early on.

You're one of the ones that's just here to stay mad lol just because the video is about and for the black people to get more insight... don't you think it's good it reached others?

    the fact that two of them are studying neuroscience is so inspiring .. i’ve wanted to be a neurosurgeon since i was in the 5th grade and i’ll be a senior in hs this fall. i dread the thought of me being the only black neuroscience major in school (since pwi’s have the top program and only 2 hbcu’s even offer it) or only black neurosurgeon in the hospital, but this gave me hope. we might be rare, but we’re out here.

    Hey, I don’t know if you’ve already done this, but it would be great If the proceeds from this video could be donated to a BLM organization. A lot of TH-camrs have been doing this and I think it’s an easy way for people who can’t donate much money to these organizations can still participate in donations.

    Loved watching this. I went to a women's college 50 years ago and the Black women were so cool. They would have nothing to do with us anglo/white students. They probably didn't feel like they missed out on anything, but I did. I was in college when we were demonstrating to end the Vietnam war, for women's rights, for racial equality. When I left college I thought things would get better. Maybe they did, but not enough and there is still so much farther the US needs to go. Glad all you students are finding a community to be comfortable in. I wish your professors were better!

  • @justice_k6440

    As a black student who also attended a school that has a very small percentage of black people, I can totally relate to their culture shock experiences.
    I think it definitely makes you feel isolated and you start to think that people are warier of you than they actually are. However, I think that it is good to mingle with others who aren't black and learn to embrace other cultures and perspectives. That really helped me navigate through the culture shock as one of the few black people in my classes.
    I think when you learn to embrace others' cultures, it makes you more understanding of others' perspectives, even if you don't necessarily agree with them.

  • @xfiler-gl7nc

    To be honest i think you have the same
    Experience at any predominantly white university. The only time I truly felt like a minority was my first day of class at u of Michigan in 1995 . There many times I’d be the only black face in the class. I thank God for the many Muslims students who befriended me and Asian students and black students. I found the intentional white students more friendly than the ones born here in America . It’s just how the cards fell. I can say there were some black students who weren’t that cool either. You just have to find your people who respect you and vice versa.
