HBCUs for the win. Can't worry about racist shit if I'm at a school where the majority of the faculty and student body are just like me.

Not as much as you'd think. I know I'm being biased but I feel like every black person, and especially black men, needs to experience at least 1 year at an HBCU. It's something powerful about seeing a concentration of young, intelligent, ambitious African Americans working towards their goals. It flies in the face of all the bullshit America tells us that we are.
There's a level of pride you develop. There's having to solve bullshit issues (i.e. financial aid problems, dealing with the different socioeconomic black students), cultivating the grind u have in u, etc A black student union at a PWI ain't giving u that. Going back to homecoming and sharing past experiences with folks and seeing what an hbcu education did is something I can't put into words. Personally, being able to walk the halls and live in the same dorms as Samuel L. Jackson, Dr. King, Spike Lee, etc. had a nigga hype. My future kids don't even have a choice between an hbcu or PWI, if im keeping it 100
As far as the thread title, I do see the argument made that we cannot be racist because we do not have the power to oppress.
Basically the argument says that we're too weak, underprivileged, and powerless to be racist.
It's the same premise in the argument liberals use to show that women can't be sexist.

I highly recommend watching the Netflix series.
5 stars in my book.
It's way better than the movie.
It actually hilarious. Its gives great added dimension to each character which the movie was unable to do.
check it out.

The world is white dog. HBCUs aren't a reflection of the real world.

Black people can be prejudice. Their idea of "black racism" is down to name calling. Real racism is systemic using power and influence to subjugate a group of people.

Technically true. But the number of instances where this happens is far less

Oppression and subjugation damages communities, cultures and societies.
Dear white people sucks though
True, but racism isn't necessarily irrelevant, or maybe that was just an overstatement. But yeah, too many people focus too much on the ever-so-popular "racism" but don't pay nearly as much attention to classism, culture, other forms of oppression, etc.

Even though most people use it, I don't think "racism" is a good (enough) or accurate term in this case. And I'm not sure what "real racism" means. Literally speaking, racism can be perpetrated by anyone. We know this.
I think a better, different term or further, clearer qualification of the term "racism" is needed, because I get what you're saying, but the semantics is off.

The problem is that they're using "racism" to mean "systemic racism" and it adds to the confusion.
The literal, Webster's definition of "racism" has nothing to do with systemic, social rules and practices. The term for that is "institutional racism" or "systemic racism". So motherfuckers already get the side eye from me for that dumbassery.
And more to the point...only someone deeply ignorant of history or the world outside of the US would make a statement like that.
Half a million dead black Tutsis, killed by the hands of their neighbors, the black Hutus, who thought they were "inferior" and "cockroaches" would beg to differ with the declaration that black people can't be racist.

Yeah because, Black people aren't a diverse people and culture. We are clearly all the same. FOH and STFU.
