In reply to the discussion: Why was Bernie Sander's audience at Morehouse College, an HBCU, predominantly White? [View all]Kind of Blue
(8,709 posts)Say what you may, this was an opportunity for Sanders to prove black millennials love him to pieces. We all know that it's just not true at this point.
I spent half an hour studying every photo and video that was posted of Bernies Morehouse rally by attendees, from various angles and in various sections. There were a few television camera-friendly clusters of black students, as campaigns often tend to do when their rallies are minority-challenged; for instance Donald Trumps campaign routinely asks its handful of black attendees to sit directly behind him. But as you can see for yourself by doing a Twitter multimedia search, the few clusters of black youths at Bernies rally were not indicative of the faces in the rest of the arena.
No more than thirty percent of the attendees at Bernies Morehouse rally were black. Moreover, about half of them were female. But Morehouse College is 98.3% black and 99.8% male. So no more than fifteen percent of the attendees at the Morehouse rally could have been Morehouse students. In other words, around four thousand white kids appeared out of thin air at an all-black school, in a mostly black neighborhood, in a majority black city. Did they fall out of the sky? http://www.dailynewsbin.com/opinion/bernie-sanders-holds-mostly-white-rally-at-all-black-college/23858/
