If black people still want to live in all black neighborhoods thats a personal decision. But some of yall need to remember how hard our ancestors fought for the integration some of yall are trying to reverse now. Thats a shame.
I can see how your point ties in, but i don't think it is totally the same. Our ancestors fought for us to have the CHOICE to be among whomever we choose, or live wherever we want. It was never mandatory. It isn't about wanting to reverse integration, it is simply a matter of choice. It is a natural human instinct to want to be around those that u feel u relate best to. I feel most comfortable around my people. Hence, the reason why i would prefer to go to a predominantly Black school, as opposed to a university where i was 1 of 2 Blacks in each class. Does that mean i'm an advocate for segregation? No. An African American who grew up among white people all of their life might feel right at home in an atmosphere like that. I, however, would not. It is a matter of preference

Yeah that's definitely how I feel. I actually think it's sorta bad when black people feel more comfortable around whites than around blacks. It just shows how bad it is that they stereotype themselves as a race, and feel that they are elite compared to other blacks.

Well my experience is different. I grew up in extremely mixed neighborhoods and I went to schools where there was no majority. I feel that I turned out to be a better and more OPEN MINDED and ACCEPTING person before it. I dont want my children in the future to fall into the trap of thinking that they would be more comfortable around black people or this type of people. That shows a lack of self confidence. I understand were you are coming from on some level though as I chose to come to a black school also. But I would have been just as comfortable at NYU as I am at Spelman.

i feel u. I think i am just as open-minded and accepting as the next person. I went to the same type of highschool that u described above, there was a nice mixture of everything. I was known and accepted by all of the lil racial cliques. But at the end of the day, when i went my way and they went theirs, the people within my close circle (Black people) were the ones who hung out with me. My self-confidence isn't any lower for feeling comfortable about Black people. Put me around any group, and i can excel there. I just happen to feel more embraced around my culture. Ask one of the white students at NYU or Stanford to attend an HBCU, and then ask them how comfortable they are after a month...no, a week. I bet u they would say the same thing i am saying right now. They would say that they had a hard time finding people they could relate to. It doesn't make them a segregationist. It's just all a matter of connection

Everybody's experiences are different, even when they are around similar environments. With me, I grew up in an approximately 75% black neighborhood, and the rest of it was probably 20% hispanic or somethin like that. But I went to schools that were always very mixed, so I ended up being very open minded and accepting to other races. At the same time, I still felt more comfortable around blacks when at school, and not meaning I felt uncomfortable around other races, but just that I preferred being around blacks because we naturally just cling together and are a whole lot more similar to each other. So even though I could be friends with and hold convos with other races, I still prefer being around blacks more. But there were people who grew up in white neighborhoods and went to my school, and they usually only kicked it with whites and asians there. You could tell they didn't ever feel comfortable around black people, and in a few cases they probably felt that the blacks wouldn't accept them for being like they were and I could understand that. But you'd hear these types of blacks using negative stereotypes to describe blacks, and they'd almost act as if they were better than most of the other blacks because they supposedly "spoke correct english" and things like that.
