🎈Yaq🅴🎈 AKA The Visionary @BigHomieKODAQ I’m perfectly fine standing on this hill by myself. But wanting HBCU culture at white schools… instead of going to an HBCU… is weird. -

a lot of weird takes in the thread. Some folks seem to be completely ignoring the financial aspect to choosing a college and it also feels like there’s an underlying tone that attending a PWI is choosing the “easy way out” so you don’t get to enjoy any aspect of “HBCU culture”. At the same time, with kind of sh*t that goes on at PWI’s I can understand wanting to gate keep aspects of black culture. But it’s at the expense of other black people…literally and figuratively

With the whole backdrop being usc gives free tuition for kids from family’s that make under 80k

We gotta stop being so petty, when I was 18 I didnt know much about HBCUs. Why cant they have the same vibes at a PWI?

I kinda felt like this with Ralph Lauren HBCU line. Morgan State was the only one I supported with their merch because I spent a lot of good times there when I had friends who were enrolled, but couldn't see myself buying HBCU stuff from RL.
 
I just wanna know if he meant Bred 11s specifically or if he was referring to all 11s in general lol
Bred 11s I guess.

Even though we all know it’s about the Get Money Boys!!

I have to confess. I like the crunch and seasoning of Popeyes but the quality and service of Canes. I’m a man divided.

Went to an HBCU...these are not majorettes :lol:

"Another Twitter user took the opportunity to provide a history lesson and cautioned Princess about referring to her group as a “majorette team” instead of what the tweet claimed was the more accurate term of “J-Setting/Drill Teams”. The Twitter user said that style of dance was originated at an HBCU.

“While individuals are using the terminology ‘Majorettes’ to describe this dance-style, that is actually incorrect; the proper connotative word is ‘J-Setting or ‘J-Settes’ or ‘Drill Teams’, which is a derivative of the Jackson State University ‘J-Settes’ from whence its named,” the tweet said."

Felt the same about those pins.

Knowing the history, cant be mad at RL TBH.

HBCUs get another big gift before holidays: $2 million from Ralph Lauren Foundation​

Morehouse, Spelman and 10 other institutions will target the donations toward scholarships that create retail pathways for students.

Still wouldn't catch me with RL HBCU gear on tho. (If a Morgan State line is released I reserve the right to change my mind) Bravo to RL and the donations.

Hold up.

RL did Morgan gear? Where at :nerd:

Regarding the topic of that tweet, I’ll reserve judgement.

Morgan Grad here: they gave me a free ride in my desired field of study, and I enjoyed my time there. I know HBCU’s ain’t for everyone, but I would recommend it, especially for our brothers and sisters who went to PWI schools their whole lives leading up to college.

Not that I know of. I was saying I bought MS gear from the school itself.
