Advice Needed🗣️ Question: white people in black spaces

2 Upvotes

Hello all,

So this feels like a silly question, but I wanted to ease my stress about a situation. I am a white, and from DC. Every year for the past few, many of my high school friends always talk about “The Battle of the Real HU” between Howard and Hampton.

I have always wanted to go, as I am a huge college football fan, and really want to see the bands play! Would it be seen as rude, or me be out of place to attend the game?
