Lol...I just decided to make a spinoff post in regards to that girl who asked about whites being at an HBCU. I wonder if I am the only person who feels this way, but I would like to make some friends of other ethnicities...Dont get me wrong, I LOVE attending an HBCU and being around my black people...but sometimes, I get tired of being around JUST n*ggas. I mean granted, I do see white folks in my classes and around campus but I just havent had the opportunity to make some good friends outside of my race...Like when I was at home...I had some white friends I was real tight with...and I kinda miss that. I wanna join the only multicultural sorority on campus, but you cant pledge a regular BGLO if you do...SO that kinda out the question... But just curious to know if anyone could see where Im coming from with this...

curious about black people I guess Well I have a lot of white people I associate with in high school....well when I did go to my high school....but now that I'm at this other place I really don't associate with them because they WEIRD over hea But its cool to be friends with white people...they have a lot more $$ and access to do somethings I can't ....can't afford....hehehe so yeaaaaah get up on some.... It's not a big thing to me because I for some reason forget that they white and they just become black people to me...sooooooo it doesn't matter in my case

I grew up in a diverse neighborhood...in my neighborhood, I lived near whites, blacks, puerto ricans, asians, etc. I went to an all black middle school on the other side of town and hated it...I hated tha fact that it was a fashion show, and I got tired of seeing nothing but black ppl. So tha fact that I chose an HBCU shocked most of the ppl around me and they predicted that I wouldn't like it and they were right...I appreciate diversity, learning from other races, and I missed that at Hampton...I don't know how to explain it but an HBCU wasn't for me...

i've been around white people for the first 13 years of my life... hell i lived in S. Dakota for 18 months and was one of the three black people in my middle school... went to E. Meck for two weeks, and it was still the same... i guess i thought it would be the same when i went to the Dub (West Charlotte HS)... I wasn't ready for the reality check, i wasn't ready for the fashion show, the black people... and i hated it for the first semester of my 9th grade year... i wanted to transfer schools... but i didn't... i stuck it out... and i ended up having the best years 3 1/2 years of my life... i stuck it out b/c i gave it a chance, and i didn't run.... being at a school like that prepared me for life at an HBCU...and i've made quite a few friends that are white at T... so you give it a chance, and maybe it will work out :arrow:
