Make it Plain-HBCU v. PWI

[supervirtuouswoman]

Do you guys have "Master" degrees?

[burtontsu09]

I graduated from a HBCU (Texas Southern University), but if i could choose, I would have went to the University of Texas.

[jspivey03]

I can't agree more "The more masters we have, the more Masters we have" I'm a Business Major at Morris Brown, but I've attended and completed Cornell Univeristy, but before any of this I had my own business, I'm using the education as a tool, to build my business further and keep hiring more of our people. We all must remember that to be trained at a college is one thing, but to be truly educated is another.

Aisha Sekhmet said it the best, We go to school for a paper degree, cum sucking for a J.O.B.

[supervirtuouswoman]

Please come to Chicago.

hbcu's negate brown vs board of ed

[KMELIZ21]

Well, I attended and still am at an HBCU Jackson State University, and I must say there is not one bit of a difference (environmental wise), now the mentality of black ppl is quite different. I went to a prodominantly white hs, but I grew up on a street w/ nothin but family but I still didn't feel connected w/ blk ppl. Goin to an HBCU, has not given me a better understandin of blks nor myself. I'm still searchin. I planin to start gradschool nxt fall at diverse uni, where there is all sorts of

[KMELIZ21]

ppl, cause I've learned being around one dominant group, their is still racism and discrimination. I pefer a melting pot of ppl.

[BlaqueRebel]

ummmm...ya'll need to stop thru Baltimore on your way to or from D.C. on your East coast tour. Kind sirs thank you.

[9Sankofa9]

theres fantasy and then there's reality........can we please......please.......pleas­e........live in reality and stop playin this fantasy shit!! If frats havent changed our positon in America since as long as we've been allowed to go to college what da fuc are they for?! Lookin each other out only? If that's true then let it be known so we can kick these niccas to the curb and show no respect to them when they crawl into our neighborhoods lookin to rob us! Real talk!

[9Sankofa9]

i thought this was supposed to be a enlightenment forum of whats really going on and not the shit you would find in some slave magazine for blacks. I have no problem with other races but i have a problem looking at all these so called educated blacks leavin college and jumpin on some white mans back instead of walkin on his own 2 feet. Niccas need to man tha fuc up or get played to the left! Impress me!! What does college do? What do frats do? They dont help shit in the community! BOULE! BOULE!

[9Sankofa9]

Blacks have been joining frats and sor's since the early 1900's and all we can really brag about owning after all these years is BET? which we dont even own anymore. Where's all the multi billion dollar corporations? These so called educated brothers...hmmm makes me believe these people are BOULE (google it) because how the hell we're going nowhere but have all these so called EDUCATED blacks coming out of college every year? Wake up and face reality!

[9Sankofa9]

I have no respect for none of these people coming out of college! They come out to get jobs! Not create economic freedoms for blacks. When other races graduate they work on the independence of their culture. When BLACKS graduate they season themselves to kiss ass for a job that they can never be who they are. Lets deal with the real and stop bullshittin around. Gays said enough is enough in the 80's and look at the power they have now in 2009!

Great Video. I went to Alabama State Univ. (HBCU). with Tuskeegee Inst. (HBCU) just 15 minutes away. AUBURN Univ. and Univ. of Alabama (PWI's) were close by. The Brothers and sisters at the PWI's did consider us HBCU students more ghetto and they acted more upity for the most part. Funny thing is The TUSKEGEE students were upity toward The Alabama State UNiv. students because their school was supposedly more prestigious.

[RevolutionaryINK]

BUt at the end of the day the TUSKEGEE students and even the PWI students still wanted to chill on OUR campus. Because we were REAL and down to earth. We've been taugh to make those distinctions amongst our people but we know deep down, "we are all in the same gang".

Now watch some hater take that last sentence outta context,...lol.

[dammy052]

I attended an HBCU for my undergrad, not cos i wanted to. I'm attending a predominantly white graduate school. I think ppl should pick colleges based on what school has the best program for what they're studying not cos i want to attend a black school or hang out with white people. People need to get real. If you put as much effort into your studies at either place, you'll succeed.

[catfish20inc]

you know what i found out. that most black ppl that go to HBCU dont really like alot of black ppl that didnt go there. thats my opinion, but also I went to a PWI and what i learned that most blacks here were also scared to see real black ppl on campus. i wanted to go to HBCU but that shit turned me sour bcuz of the way they taught was the same BS. i think we need black ppl to go to PWI and test the instructors knowledge and liberate those campuses. and the BSU where im at is a JOKE. stay black

[YankeesPwnnSoX]

Why does it have to be black power?

Why can't it Be American Power?

Don't get me wrong, Nothing is wrong with being proud of your roots,But isn't time for us as Americans to become a whole 1 nation, and not divided by race sex or religious beliefs.

[speczwifey09]

I graduated early from a mostly white highschool. I decided to go to Ohio State University this spring and I was the only black person in all my classes. I withdrew after 3 days Lol. I am now gonna be attending Howard University in the fall and i cannot wait! I just love the atmosphere every time I visit that campus....just seeing all the beautiful black people.

[sweetzbaby1]

when is the Jamaica or U.K tour?

[mom2dave]

I went to both an HBCU and a PWI. I will say that socially, the HBCU was much better. Academically I initially felt that the HBCU was lacking. Once I got into the workplace I realized that as long as the program is accredited and follows a similar format to other schools you will be fine.

[acousticboi]

It is really easy to say you want to go to a blk school to engage in all these blk things but at the same time if the blk school doesnt have want to u want then what do u do...i wanted to debate and no blk school has debate so i had to go to a white school, however i make black arguments and uphold my identity in whatever i do

[atlien991]

Please keep this channel going!

Peace and love from Atlanta.

[leviamenra]

son you should have told me you was in baton rouge damn i missed it

[nadinebrown1]

when u coming to london, UK.

[ambelle]

That said, one of the most important things I learned at "my" PWI is how to distinguish my friend from my enemy-- and I got to know my enemy very well...

[ambelle]

@ 5:05 co-sign.

If I had to do it again, I would have been doing the same thing! But I'm glad I don't have it to do over again-- I was a different person as a senior in high school vs. now as a senior at a PWI.

There's a reason for everything-- I think if you are a critical thinking individual, you will have that awakening no matter where you attend school. The most important life-changing books that i have read over the past 4 years were not on any course syllabus this school had to offer.

[MonroviaLIB]

great vid! love the channel.

keep sharing tha knowledge

[FLATCY]

(continued)

create a surplus to sell or trade for what we need but do not produce ourseves, e.g. an internet connection or work boots or a tractor or whatever...

create community currency. one community currency note is worth one hour of labor.

[FLATCY]

time is short. if you have the means, the stomach and the time get the baachelors, master and doctorate...in something fundamentally useful like agriculture,, sustainable energy, physiology or botany whatever.

then (or during) ...

create households and groups of households that are separtely or collectively self sufficient in food, water, soil/sanitation.

(continued)

[YoWhatsThe411]

informative vid! very insightful glad to see yall on here spreading knowledge I personally want to attend an HBCU but you already know all ppl have there own perceptions of things oh btw that chick that was spittin in the begining that was hot!

[ea4b]

"the more Masters we have, the more masters we have"

"white recession, black depression"

"are we still going to school to work for them!?"

so true! keep making in plain! love ya'll.

[SupportBIB]

I really liked this topic. I personally like HBCU schools. Esp. Morehouse and Spelman. The thing is that alot of people where I'm at, tend to look down on folk who choose to go to these schools. But I guess that is just the name of the game. Anyways, anytime yall in the Houston area, hit me up and we can surely Make It Plain in this area because right now, they making it blind.

[cipherkween]

I definitely feel this video. Samori you are absolutely right. "Higher Education" is really meant to train the people on work for and maintain capitalism. It doesn't teach us how to be self-sufficient/self-determine­d. As a matter of fact, once you get that "real job" they keep you so busy until often times you're so mentally fatiqued until any dreams of kujichagulia are deferred.

[martaajoku1]

another great and insightful

video.
