WEBVTT - IDKMYDE: HBCUs vs PBIs

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.160
<v Speaker 1>On today's episode. If I didn't know, maybe you didn't either.

0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about HBCUs and PBIS. Now, for those that

0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know HBCUs historically black colleges and universities, I knew

0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>all about those. I am a product of one Winston

0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Salem State University six oh one MLK driving Winston Salem,

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina. However, I had no clue about PBIS predominantly

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Black institutions, HBCU, PBI. Look, if you think black education

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>don't got acronyms, you're wrong. We got more letters than

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:34.519
<v Speaker 1>the alphabet. Suit. We ain't growing up, ain't it. I

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't know you no, I didn't know. I didn't know.

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know. I

0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't know. I didn't know. All right, Now, let's start

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 1>with the HBCUs, They the ogs. These schools go way back,

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 1>like before your grandma's grandma was even thinking about having kids.

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Back you did what I'm saying. First, one Cheney University

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 1>eighteen thirty seven. That's right, Black folks was out here

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>educating themselves when slavery was still happening. Imagine trying to

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>study algebra when people out here trying to enslave you.

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Now that's some dedication. HBCUs were like, y'all don't want

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>to send your schools. Cool, we'll build our own schools.

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>And they did it big, Howard Spellman more House, HBCU Homecomings.

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.399
<v Speaker 1>You know the vibes. If you never been the one,

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:24.680
<v Speaker 1>you're missing out now. PBIS that's Donnie and Mark and

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Joey and Jordan them, you know, new kids on the block.

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Cause PBIS came later. They're like, we might not have

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.839
<v Speaker 1>the history, but we're here for the hustle. See. Pbis

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>are schools located in urban areas where most of us live.

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>And they said, listen, black students are here, We see you.

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's make this work. But pbis weren't always for us.

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Some of them started as regular old colleges and then

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.919
<v Speaker 1>looked around and said, oh snap, half our students as black.

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Guess we're PBI. Now. Now here's the thing. Both HBCUs

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 1>and PBIS are here to lift us up. They're about

0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>helping us get degrees, build careers, and to help you

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>stop having to ask for your mama's car. And both

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>are cranking out black excellence. HBCUs gave us Martin Luther

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>King Junior, Oprah and Chadwick Boseman pbi's are newers, so

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>their alumni like, hey, we're still coming up right now,

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 1>but we got next. Though. Although there are similarities, there

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>are also differences. The big difference. HBCUs are about legacy.

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>You walk onto an HBCU campus and it feels like

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>a Black family reunion where everybody's a tt or un period.

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 1>There's history in the air. Pbis they're about right now.

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>They're like, what do you need? You need resources, you

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>need scholarships, you need snacks. We got you, so we

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 1>need both. Why Because racism doesn't take a day off.

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>HBCUs are there to remind us where we've been, and

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 1>pbis are there to make sure no one gets left behind.

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 1>It's like a relay race. HBCU started it and pbis

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>grabbed the baton stick. That what you say when somebody

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>passing you the baton. I ran track a little bit

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 1>in high school. It wasn't very good, but I know

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the jargon. You rep and fam you Winston, Salem, State, Howard,

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>or some PBI in your city, just know this. These

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>schools are for us, by us. They FUOBU schools And

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know maybe you didn't either.
