<p>I went to a predominantly white school all my life, including CC now. I’ve never based my school choice only on race. Though I have to admit, usually I was the only black student in my AP classes in high school and while it wasn’t super uncomfortable I rather would have at least half the class be black or at least spanish or something. Especially when sometimes when some of my ‘friends’/associates kind of pushed their limits as to what was okay to say as a joke or not. I had to mean mug some folks who crossed the line, but it wasn’t often. </p>
<p>I have thought about going to an HBCU but they all seem too closed off for me for different reasons, mostly distance/financial reasons. When I was a HS sophmore though, I did want to go to Howard, but like I said, distance/financial and medical reasons erased that option.</p>
