@thegreatestoutthere so whats your purpose when you come on here and make comments? What are you trying to prove? Are you better than those of us who attend/attended HBCU's? Are you smarter, being that I now attend The University of Southern California i dont know if you can argue that. Whats your mission? You come on here passing judgement on hbcu students with your frivolous comments and you sound stupid. You've made your comments now move on. I think i might block you because I'm tired of you

[SexySlim4287]

@thegreatestoutthere might I add if it werent for HBCU graduates who fought for equal rights and equal education maybe you wouldnt be at the university you attend (or attended if you graduated, and I hope you went to college with all that you have to say). Who knows where African Americans would be if it werent for walter carter, the A&T four, jesse jackson and the other hbcu alumni i mentioned below. and again i dont expect you to know who they are.

[SexySlim4287]

@thegreatestoutthere you seem very ignorant and simple minded. African Americans choose to go to HBCU's for the same reason anyone would choose to attend another school, its where they want to go to school! HBCU graduates have made and CONTUNIE to make significant contributions to the world just as non HBCU graduates do, just look at the alumni from the HBCU's across the country and you'd be surprised to see who are they are and the contributions they have made to this country

I loved this. i plan on attendind CAU in the fall of 2012

[SexySlim4287]

@iloveyoubby21 great! i hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

dammit! rite now im getting scouted to play football for the 2011 season for 2 HBCU's and im white...

theres tons of other schools that i can attend but the HBCU's are giving a full ride and this school is one of em.

i really didnt think of being white would be a problem but i did notice students in this vid making comments like "why are they here"?

err whatever i still got another year to go. maybe i will get a full ride somehwere else

[SexySlim4287]

@ballHAWK31 aw you should go to Clark. Of course people's initial reactions when they see non african american students on campus is one of surprise and question. I remember when I first saw Zach on campus when I was a junior, I was like "omg does he go here"...but trust me, its all love and you will have a blast if you decide to go.

"When I first saw one!!" .......She said that Like someone thats caucasian isnt human??!! I would feel more worried about fitting in there........... and im not white.....

[jbrowne1032]

This video should be removed. It's a poor representation of CAU and it broadcasts your ignorance.

[bigbooda011]

[canigetaburger]

[cassie8p]

@shonda335 i thought she was trying to say he was on the campus for some other reason besides getting an education. sometimes contractors come on campus to do construction or who knows....

i didn't take their comment as racist. it's unusual for non people of color to attend a predominately black school. it rarely happens.

[sbyrd4287]

@shonda335 if what you took away from this project was that students had racist attitudes towards people of other races attending HBCU's then you missed the obvious message the project was trying to get across

[sbyrd4287]

@shonda335 when this project was screened we received positive feedback because this project shows how the students embraced diversity. What this video promotes is DIVERSITY and how students would welcome anyone to a HBCU one of the students in the video said "i think its a great experience for everyone, no matter what color you are" and i believe another student said "we are all equal" and i believe another said "i could care less what color you are."

[sbyrd4287]

@shonda335 as one of this students who worked on this project while I was a student at Clark let me start off by saying that we interviewed tons of students and none of them had a problem with astudent of any race attending a HBCU. As African American students at a HBCU when we students of other races yes we do wonder why they're there, but NOT because we are racist or don't want them to be there, but because we wonder why they would choose to go to a school that is primarily African American
