HBCU Things To Know: What is it like Being a Non-Black Student at an HBCU?

Students are asked what it feels like not being African American and attending a Historically Black College.

[@andreacalderin4041]

Black people are more accepting of others even though it's not reciprocated on the other end.

[@ZiotGaming]

Andrea Calderin sure sure see Africa LMFAO

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

Legitimately curious...what about Africa?

[@ZiotGaming]

Manu Ginobilis Bald Spot idk, maybe the oppression of white people in South Africa, or Zimbabwe?

[@joerdentodd1528]

Ziot How about the oppression that white people did to real blood Africans in South Africa (Aka the Apartheid)??. And there is not oppression to the whites in South Africa. The Africans in SA just took back over the government that was theirs in the 1st place

It’s an HBCU not a Black Only College.

exactly how it should be

[@dramaticsigh9095]

Jay Anderson for the most part I think that's how it is which is all love which is why I made this... why are minorities not able to be calmly welcome at many pwI's while at HBCU's everyone is welcome with open arms

[@mistanderson]

Dramatic Sigh Because there are alot of hateful ppl in PWI's against other race and religion. We all know mainly by hateful white ppl. The hateful ones look down on everybody else. At an HBCU.... everybody is the same... even when we all come from different states, household, incomes.... still the same. Low percentage of the ones who do look down on you but its not about race...

[@dramaticsigh9095]

[@cassadybishop6987]

I’m currently going to a community college (non- HBCU) and am looking into attending a HBCU as a non-traditional, non-black, white student. I have noticed over the years, especially when discussing racism with non- white friends that I do, in FACT, have white privilege. I have come in contact with many racially motivated white people and it has always been disgusting to me. Thankfully, my family has broken out against the prejudices against poc (people of color) that they have been taught or seen in white communities. I live in a very conservative area in Florida and when the Black Lives Matter movement had taken a stronger presence in 2020, it was shocking to see the ignorance of white people and their prejudices against poc, especially black individuals because I do not share those opinions. Because of that disgust and hatred I had (and still have) towards the racism inflicted upon minorities, I decided to attend the local protest, and advocate for the movement. Personally, as a white female I feel it is my personal duty to educate myself on the history of black culture, black struggle, and black experiences. With that desire of education on black culture and experiences, no part of me wants to allow racism to have any room in me and my future families, and generations lives. Part of me recognizes how my presence at an HBCU could make another traditional student feel uncomfortable, but I feel as if I can make a change in my life and future children’s, my friends, my co-workers and strangers who face the option to not even recognize their privilege, lives by recognizing my privilege and delving into the depths of black culture, black struggle and black voices- with hopes to make a change in this world. If there is any open, and non-dissonant discussion that is desired by anyone of any background and race, I am all ears to hear any opinions and knowledge! Thank you for taking the time to read my comment, as it was my pleasure to share an open opinion. ❤️

Your comment reminds me of a friend (white) I met in college. He shared that he remembered the day MLK was planning a protest march that would go through his neighborhood. His family and neighbors had him frightened because they had sensationalized what to expect. For days all he heard was "the n-words are coming." When they arrived, he was absolutely appalled at the behavior of his family and friends. MLK and the people marching were peaceful, singing and not disrespecting anyone. It was his neighbors and family that were shouting obscenities, attacking etc. It always amazed me how a group could be so heavily influenced that it blinds them to their own behaviors.
