I see why black people that go to hbcus are so confident....it just seems like going to a school in white spaces can low key make you question your self.
This can be the case. The opposite can also be true. I know being in mostly white spaces since I was a kid -- but also with strong ties to black communities on multiple continents -- gave me confidence. A lot of (black) people who don't experience white people til later give them too much credit. I saw them, and all their warts, from very early on.
I'm asian, and I didn't think I'd take so much out of this video as I did. I never realized how many problems we still have on college campuses, so this was super insightful and helpful. Thank you guys for speaking out
corey thomas because if she doesn't then videos like this will keep needing to be made. She just gained understanding and you dare penalize her for it. Which says you're def not part of the fight that the rest of the black people have. You're one of the ones that's just here to stay mad lol just because the video is about and for the black people to get more insight... don't you think it's good it reached others? Don't you get tired of others denying these issues? The reason they continue is because idiots like you ask... "WELL WHY YOU CARE?" Because a human should smh
@@coreythomas3633 alright so just going off of your logic lets stop spreading news and insight about these topics to people who aren't black; and aren't aware of certain situations. nah man, can't work that way. do you want her to not care? Come on
“ they made it seem like James Baldwin was my dad.” Goddamn I laughed so hard. Also is it just me or the Ivy League seems like a place I don’t want to be; however, still work really hard to try and get accepted. I’m facing a conflict lol.
Go where you feel comfortable and confident. Put the effort into figuring out which one that is. Yes ivys are great but let’s not kid ourselves anymore. Looking good on paper is overrated
That's not an uncommon feeling, I sure many on this panel struggled with the same conflict. Yet, don't kid yourself, there's definitely going to be a some negative to wherever you go.
I graduated from Howard and I remember one semester a student was an exchange from Brown it would be cool if you had a panel of guests who had both HBCU and Ivy experience...
the fact that two of them are studying neuroscience is so inspiring .. i’ve wanted to be a neurosurgeon since i was in the 5th grade and i’ll be a senior in hs this fall. i dread the thought of me being the only black neuroscience major in school (since pwi’s have the top program and only 2 hbcu’s even offer it) or only black neurosurgeon in the hospital, but this gave me hope. we might be rare, but we’re out here.
I stand with you ALL! This was insightful for me as a NBPOC and I will continue to try and fight for you guys and the black community. I'm 17 and went to my first protest ever today🤗

I'm from LSU. I can definitely attest to the "black dormitory" and being overlooked in a group assignment. In Geology I would always know the answer and they would IGNORE me or say, "I don't think that's it" in the most polite way and go all around the world to figure out the answer just to come up with my answer EVERY TIME.
Why the LSU campus so damn big? 😂😂 I took a student for a campus visit there and I let him roam by himself cuz I was tired of walking LOL Made the school I graduated from look like a small school
This happened to me at an art workshop where I was the ONLY black person. The instructor ignored my answers in spite of them being correct, the assistant helped the yt kids but left me on my own, and the yt kids' voice were more valued than mine.

I really like that you're taking this time to post videos addressing BLM and the experiences of African American students. Props to you & love your channel!
I love it. I never had a college experience like I wanted to. I went to a Southern private Christian school that was racist my first two years then I transferred to a community college, then went to a public college, then worked for Disney to complete my internship, then went back to the public college. I'm still looking for that sense of community to this day even after graduating. So praying for you guys and hope you have a great college experience
@@jm-je4tl microagressions i.e. stereotypes placed on me/others, some white guys on my hall didn't want talk to me because I was black, and the president posting black face and KKK pics on Twitter not caring about how his black students felt.

Hey, I don’t know if you’ve already done this, but it would be great If the proceeds from this video could be donated to a BLM organization. A lot of RU-vidrs have been doing this and I think it’s an easy way for people who can’t donate much money to these organizations can still participate in donations. Thanks and this video is too fire already and much appreciated 💕💕
@@Domonique_Cynthia Hiiiii, my my friend and I are doing a project for a local Black Student Union and we were wondering if u would like to share you reaction or things u saw in a response (can have your name or be anonymous), it will help amplify blacks' voices and ultimately elevate the black communities while educating the community to not be swayed by fake new media! May we quote some stuff in the video or can I dm you for a response?
@@Domonique_Cynthia I just DM you thank you! If you can discuss diversity/racial inequality in your community/school/profession, that would be greatly appreciated!
Phenomenal! these young people are extraordinary . You rarely hear about our astonishing young folks. We have a massive amount of remarkable young people. But they are over shadow by negative stereotypes which receives most media attention.
Yes.. lol microaggressive behavior always seems like a question as a black student. We start to develop a double consciousness about how others view us or how we’re being treated at the moment.
I'm looking back at this video four years later & while there has been some progress, there is still SO much work that still has to be done to reach true racial equity, especially in academia!
I love this so much! I’m black entering Princeton as class of 2024 and these videos are so enlightening and are definitely reassuring to know that there are others who have already experienced what I may this upcoming fall.
Thank you for this Domonique. It so nice to be able to see students talking about some of the things I'm scared of as an African International hopeful. I'd love to see a kickback episode with international students x
I graduaded 11 years ago from the University of Sherbrooke in Canada, but what these young brothers and sisters are talking about was my campus life. I enjoyed the convo!
To be honest i think you have the same Experience at any predominantly white university. The only time I truly felt like a minority was my first day of class at u of Michigan in 1995 . There many times I’d be the only black face in the class. I thank God for the many Muslims students who befriended me and Asian students and black students. I found the intentional white students more friendly than the ones born here in America . It’s just how the cards fell. I can say there were some black students who weren’t that cool either. You just have to find your people who respect you and vice versa.
I work at Microsoft and it's like 1% Black here. I'm the only black woman in my org too. Thankfully everyone has been supportive so I have yet to experience anything questionable.
Loved watching this. I went to a women's college 50 years ago and the Black women were so cool. They would have nothing to do with us anglo/white students. They probably didn't feel like they missed out on anything, but I did. I was in college when we were demonstrating to end the Vietnam war, for women's rights, for racial equality. When I left college I thought things would get better. Maybe they did, but not enough and there is still so much farther the US needs to go. Glad all you students are finding a community to be comfortable in. I wish your professors were better!
As a black student who also attended a school that has a very small percentage of black people, I can totally relate to their culture shock experiences. I think it definitely makes you feel isolated and you start to think that people are warier of you than they actually are. However, I think that it is good to mingle with others who aren't black and learn to embrace other cultures and perspectives. That really helped me navigate through the culture shock as one of the few black people in my classes. I think when you learn to embrace others' cultures, it makes you more understanding of others' perspectives, even if you don't necessarily agree with them.
I loved this video! I’m a rising senior trying to make a decision about where to apply early to, and after hearing about the incident at Yale where a black student had the police called on them for taking a nap in their common room, I’ve been worried about this very issue. Thank you so much for the video!
I never understood why black people choose to go to Ivy Leagues. I never saw the excitement in them except for Harvard; their business program is bomb.
I appreciate that you guys are actually talking and having a great conversation and it's not just a oh your friends with white people so therefore you are some how less apart of the black community or something stupid like that and I also like the fact that each and every one of you have remained calm and collected in presenting y'all arguments I feel like I have truly learned some things and you guys have given me something to seriously think about on a deeper level thank you all .
Much love from Tufts University! Just stumbled onto this video and so many points hit home. We got a small but strong 4% at Tufts and still face a lot of the challenges y'all mentioned.
Hey,I just wanted to know can you do a video of Ivy League strong black women and their experience in an Ivy League school and being treated by society? And on men’s too because it will be nice as well to see their perspective for being a strong black man in a predominately white university 🎓. Thanks
I love this, I' m a forty year old, no kids but have many young cousins. I 'm glad you guys are sharing your experience with younger folks to show its not all gravy once you graduate high school and go to college. I'm so proud of you young bucks and I wish you all the best.
I graduated with a Master’s from McMaster University in Canada as a black Caribbean Male and the only one of my background in the program. Related to a lot of what was said here but it all works out in the end. We all gotta keep positive. One love all
Is there a way u can get some Muslim college students and allow them to talk about their college experience being Muslim and/or being a person of color at Ivy League.

That was very insightful ! As nb person and as a non american I'm simultaneously very interested in the perspective of black student but also the way american schools work in general (here, 2000€/year is expensive for an university) Also it always amaze me how Nigerians specifically are so good in studying! The education system must be intense
Great video! Very organized, great questions, and authentic dialogue. I've always heard being black at an Ivy League school can be really taxing on you. But as suggested taking care of your mental health will be key!

Super late comment and I'm NOT an Ivy League alum but I finished at a 3.7% Black university (the University of Arizona) and I generally had pretty good experiences, but I also kinda just kept my head down and focused. I really like this video and it gives insight to what it's like to be a true minority.
This is sort of where my head is at with grad school and wanting to attend an Ivy League … keeping my head down and focusing and remembering why I’m there
it sounds very difficult tbh...I'm not American, I'm from the UK...I knew America was much more racially segregated, but this is very isolating for these students. I wish the best for all of you in your studies and well done.
Re the Canada Goose: I relate SO hard to her story! I’ll never forget the day I looked up the jacket out of curiosity (because I saw it on campus so much in Chicago) and it was $1K ! 😩
Don't get me wrong, I graduated from Loyola University Chicago in 13' so I know what you mean about the Canda goose coat everywhere. Not to mention the outlet store on Michigan & Ohio. Yet, that cost is warm but there are more options you can do for less
This was great! My son is a Black Hispanic senior and is considering attending an ivy (assuming the package is right, of course). At the same time, he is strongly considering HBCU's since he has spent his entire school career in PWI's. This panel gave us a lot to talk about. One question I wished was asked was "Given what you know now, would you still attend the Ivy's or do you think you would have had a better experience in an HBCU?"
This was so insightful! I am a non-traditional/transfer student and woman of color attending an Ivy League this fall. I would be highly interested in a video with non-traditional and/or transfer students. Again, I really appreciate the honesty and excellence of this discussion.
I'm an Asian American and I do remember students at my school would sit with their own "kind" during lunchtime. It's still happening everywhere!! This is was back in the mid 80's.
Y'all are so strong holy shit. I could not even imagine. These deeply white institutions need y'all and I'm so happy y'all are repping black Americans in the system. I really wish this video got my views.
woah sis!!! I didnt even realize this was you or your video!!! i remember watching your college acceptance video forever ago! you've totally updated the look of your videos so i didnt even notice it was youuuu!!! love love love it!
I know that can be frustrating. I've taught mostly black students and the rare occasions I've had two or more ww students I've called them each other names. 💁 I understand your point though.
I am Asian but I really enjoy hearing about all walk of life and their journey persuading higher education. Love your video! Can you make a video debunking all the claim those prestigious make about their school?
I really love this video! As a Caribbean girl who’s a rising junior, these issues are really important to me rn. I was wondering if you could include some insight from a lightskined black person because often times, our experiences are a bit different due to our racial ambiguity (I say this from experience sadly) so I think it’d be interesting to hear.
I don't go to an Ivy league but I do go to a private university in GA. That intro hit me😭 I took a spn class where, for the ENTIRE semester I was confused with the 2 black girls sitting next to me
I remember taking a class and anytime I changed my hairstyle, the professor would ask my name and tell me there is another black student in his class...he was telling me about myself
Wow!!! That's crazy. At my predominantly white high school, my semantics teacher was making a point about a particular subject involving race and he asked if he had any black students in his class ( I was the only black student in the class and I sat in the MIDDLE FRONT)...then backed himself up and said that he does not see color...like sir really🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️
This was a really great and insightful video! I definitely gained a better perspective of different things that many Black students experience in Ivy league schools. Looking forward to more videos!
I remember attending an AGM and the white Chair called the only black board member who is female by the name of a black male employee. What was further depressing is that the organisation works to represent marginalised minorities/groups
