[J. Akintomide]

I still go to a predominantly white college. The No. 1 thing is that black females don’t have a lot of choices when it comes to dating. Most of the black guys date the white females, and the white guys don’t date black girls (at least at my college). Another thing is that a lot of white people assume that we segregate ourselves when we sit with our black friends. But if I were white and my friends were white, they wouldn’t know the difference. I choose to sit next to my friends, not black people. Not all the black people get along. Another misunderstanding has to do with hair. White females don’t understand that black females don’t go through the same process they do when it comes to hair care. The last problem, among many, is that I have had a lot of white people say (after they got to know us) that they just assumed we were mean and would have kept thinking this if they had not gotten to know us by chance. I can say on a positive note that the black females on campus are closer because we relate to each other, and we are our own support system. This is something that my sister, who goes to a predominantly black college, says she doesn’t experience.
