mmkay. it seems like every time i get to talking about college, someone wants to bring up HBCUs. my favorite line is "i wanna go to ____ because i want the HBCU experience".... okay? and what the fuck is that? i ask people what that means and they don't even know. the few answers that i do get sounds like a bunch of ignorant fuckery to me & the jist of it is "i wanna be around black people". okay. that's fine i guess. your opinion. but if you were accepted to another college that you knew was better, would you choose a HBCU just because it was a HBCU?
hm?
"oh ma, i've been accepted to yale but i'm gonna go to ecu instead. it's a hbcu, there's more black people there!"
just because the majority of the school is a certain race is not gonna make me want to go more or less.but if i wanna get ignorant myself i could always say "i been around black people all my life and i'm tired of them". i can't imagine limiting myself just because of race. i would want variety anyways. plus, minority scholarships are always good. =D do you hear white people saying they want the "HWCU experience"? i bet if they did, black people would automatically call them racist.
now i'm not trynna knock anyone's opinion, i'm really not. i just sincerely don't understand the concept behind "wanting" the hbcu "experience"...
ha i hate that my mom acts like that you need to go to an hbcu shit gets annoying sometimes !
ReplyDeleteyou have read my fonts about HBCUs and how being around black people shouldnt be an "experience" if you black than your around a black person 24/7 anyway.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention the unfortunate fact that HBCUs are slack with their curriculum.
And white kids get minority scholarships to HBCUs |-) and black people get mad about it. Hippocrates
That's a great point and I agree. I have so much more to say, but I don't have time. =/
