what's an HBCU? Hot-Bedded Caucus University?

Er, if so, what's up with that photo up there? 'Cause...I don't really see that much AA representation.

It's a bit curious.

There's some question on Twitter on why the crowd seems to be non-representative of the college itself.

It's just a question of where the crowd really came from.

It is very strange.

But it was not mostly as one might expect there.

These don't embed, sorry it's just the link.

from state to state. Like the Grateful Dead, only with less tie-dye and more politics.

historic African-American college?

If you don't have significant ties to the AA community, Morehouse doesn't accept you. This actually makes a lot of sense: they have fewer than 2400 slots, and there are high demand for them in the AA community. So unless you have a VERY good reason for wanting to go to Morehouse besides "it would be cool to attend a HBCU" (if that's your goal, there are several excellent HBCUs in North Carolina who would love to enroll you), you don't get to go to Morehouse.

"Every time he mentions a free government program, chug somebody else's beer."

LOL

"I'm taking your ball and going home."

If someone is busy shaking his finger in your face, it might be wise to pay attention to what mischief the other hand is up to.

On twitter, there is angry pushback about the event being open to others outside the college. That's fine that it was open, but it's kind of disingenuous to bill this tour as the HBCU tour and then pad the crowds with those from outside the college, who do not represent the college.

The truth is appreciated.

Just wow! A HBCU, they bus in white kids and then brag about the crowds? The Bernie campaign just opened up a new chapter in the book on tone deaf.

This, in no way, looks like a Morehouse crowd.

It's odd to me the campaign chose HCBUs to be the venue for large open rallies, when they made it sound like a listening tour on Black student issues, but that's just me!

shows.....

Go Hillary!!!

But was called a race baiter for inquiring..... Unfortunately,
I keep forgetting that I am not allowed to say anything
that doesn't flatter the Sanders campaign.....

I was halfway expecting it. Unfortunately, DUers cannot censor Twitter--life outside the fishbowl here is verrry interesting, to say the least!

I feel that whole thing was a form of manipulation… Because I noticed that the news media concentrated only on the site at the visit and the dancing fraternity, never commenting on the make up of the crowd at a predominantly black campus. It feels disingenuous bordering on smoking mirrors.
