A White Student's Experience at an HBCU - Part 1

This is a collection of a few of my TikTok videos where talk about what I learned at a Historically Black College. I learned so much in and out of the classroom. It was a great experience! I hope you enjoy it. On TikTok, I'm @heartoflearningacademy #hbcu #famu #tallahassee

[@marcusdarden1535]

For all the White people here: Learning about Black culture and Black people means NOTHING if you aren't using this knowledge/appreciation to dismantle or interrupt the system of terrorism/exploitation that your friends/associates/family maintain and perpetuate. You are just taking from Black people without giving anything when you say "oh i learned so much" but don't DO anything different. Being nice to Black people is not something that deserves praise becaus being nice to another human IS WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO! If you want to be nice, help a Black person start a business or buy a home; donate to Black organizations; give a random Black person some money; correct a White person when they act in racist ways; oppose racist or exclusionary policies in your community... DO something.

[@heartoflearningacademy]

Yes! All of this. :) Actively work on being an antiracist. I'm a tutor so I teach my students to do this too.

[@heartoflearningacademy]

I don't know how many White People are actually seeing this video but I pinned your comment so this would be the first thing they see if they are here.

[@marcusdarden1535]

@heartoflearningacademy there are so many White women in particular that become educators. The same system that terrorizes/exploits Blacks allows them to make money in education. I suspect that giving money and authority to White women is another tactic of White supremacy: it allows them to obfuscate, omit, minimize, distort, and straight-up lie about facts and history. I hope that your educating others mainly consists of teaching about the centuries of atrocities that Whites have inflicted on Blacks. This includes specifics and names of individuals, both past and present, that Whites need to know so they can have a better understanding of why Blacks are valid in their distrust of Whites in general - even you. I'm curious... Do you think that it is reasonable for every Black American to be suspicious and wary of every White American, including you, given the history of this country?

[@ndo533]

I agree but the "give a random blk person money" thing i see too frequently and is kind of offensive. We're not homeless yall, we're just human beings looking for the equal treatment and opportunities that white folks also get. White ppl get the benefit of a doubt but we're always the ones looked down on and penalized when we do the same things as yall. Dont give us money but u can donate to organizations that support our causes. But don't give money to grifters please

[@heartoflearningacademy]

@@ndo533 Are there any organizations that you recommend?

[@nagone11]

She chose to have a different college experience than most white girls and white folks on the whole. I commend her that, black people who go to all white schools experience some different things as well. She got a far broader education than many of the community that she came from.

[@Saabjock]

The folks here believing she simply went there out of some strange curiosity are kidding themselves. What she did get to see and experience, was the World... as it is. I guess they did not hear the part where she said some folks viewed her with a degree of suspicion, before ultimately accepting her. Both she...and they, got an education and an understanding about tolerance and acceptance. They more than likely came to the conclusion that we are not different afterall...beyond pigment.

[@marilynmartin3901]

I think your story is awesome. When we step out of our boxes, we find that we are of the human race and nothing else should matter but respect for our differences. Thank you for sharing.

My mother went to FAMU and I went to Lucille Moore back in the 60's, I lived on Melvin St.. I've been in a HBCU environment my entire life. It's apart of my DNA. Thanks for giving our culture a chance. You learned more about us than you could ever learn in a book.

I graduated from Rust College in 2021 and now I work at Rust College. I have written poetry about my experience as well as included it in my upcoming memoir. I was from PWIs and when I got to Rust I found my family. I'm so grateful for how my world opened up. Being from Mississippi, I always stayed quiet and to myself. A lady should be seen and not heard, a lady doesn't wear revealing clothes, too much makeup, etc. I was from a very traditional family on a farm. I learned I had a voice at Rust. I learned that my story matters. I learned that I can use my voice to make powerful impacts and even gave A SPEECH AT AEP IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE STUDENT BODY about my story. My battle with PCOS. I was homeless before I became a student. Rust just kind of found me. I graduated with honors and tutored all students in the Writing Center on campus for four years on a volunteer basis. I am and always will be so grateful for Rust College and I am so proud to be a Bearcat Alumni.

[@heartoflearningacademy]

I love this🥰

[@RosalindGash]

I attended Rust College off and on from Fall 2014 to Summer 2017. If you arrived in the Fall of 2017, I was already gone. I have many good memories of my time at Rust, the challenges of living in Wiff Hall, and eating heart attack food (but it was sooo good) in the Caf. I also sang soprano on the "World-Renowned Rust College A'Cappella Choir" (you have to say the whole thing, LOL). I hope to make it back for Founder's Day this year. Help me tell these folks YOU SHOULDA BEEN A BEARCAT! #BearcatNation

Do Black people know what it’s like to be White? Or just their stereotypes of what it is to be White? Are the Black people in the inner city nice? 84% of interracial crimes are Black on White.

One great thing about you is that you are genuine. Not knowing is fine but not learning is a problem. I graduated from FAMU and when we saw white students, they were regular people who happened to be students. The only issue I had with some tho was that when they graduated from the School of Pharmacy and went on to work in their profession, some claimed FSU as their true alma mater bc of their undergrad degree.

[@heartoflearningacademy]

Not learning is definitely a problem. I will keep learning until the day I die. When I arrived at FAMU, I had no idea what to major in. My coach told me to try pharmacy...haha! I failed chemistry and did not fit in with that bunch at all so I changed my major. Thanks for your comment. :)

I agree. Some HBCUs now have a majority of white students. Bluefield State College is now 90% white. In the 90s FAMU was 90% black and today it's about 7% white. I think HBCUs should stay at least 85 to 90% Black to protect the culture. Some of my Black friends at FAMU grew up in white towns and I know they really benefited from going to an HBCU. When I arrived there it was 1990. There was no social media and I didn't know what I didn't learn (I didn't even own a cell phone my first year there). I just saw us all as equals. I learned almost nothing about about Black history or culture in my white schools in my white town. So when I got to FAMU, it opened my eyes to the differences. I learned the truth about history and between my roommates, my teammates, my friends, and my teachers, I learned about Black culture. I saw how I was treated differently when I was out in public with my black friends and teammates than how I was treated with my white friends. Going to an HBCU was they eyeopener and I will never stop learning how to be a better antiracist. It was a privilege for me to attend. I will continue to teach my students and all the people I know about what I have learned and I will keep learning. 💚🧡

[@isaaccleveland5395]

HBCU or Not school is what you make it, I played sports in college back in the 90's half the team was white and I'm STILL TIGHT with ALL of my teammates, black and white. We STILL visit each other and I'm even a God Father to one of my teammates kids. Experiencing different is a teaching moment, if enough of us did what you did maybe there wouldn't be so much racism in the world. All people aren't bad people you just need to spend alittle time with them to get to know them. You did your part to help bridge them gap between cultures. I'll bet you if you got into a fight those girls on that softball team would Pull up for you.
