No more than thirty
percent of the attendees at Bernie’s 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.
Bernie Sanders holds
mostly white rally at all-black southern college!

Bernie Sanders held
a rally last night at Morehouse College, an all-black southern school, which by
some estimates drew as many as forty-eight hundred attendees.
It’s being held up
in some circles as evidence that African-American voters are finally feeling
the Bern, just ten days before the crucial South Carolina primary.
One little problem:
most of the
attendees at Bernie’s black campus rally were white.
I spent half an hour
studying every photo and video that was posted of Bernie’s 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
Trump’s 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 Bernie’s rally were not indicative of the faces in the rest of the
arena.
No more than thirty
percent of the attendees at Bernie’s 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?
Who are these four
thousand white kids?
Where did they come
from?
It’s fair to ask if
they were bused in from elsewhere, and if they’re the same white kids who keep
appearing at Bernie’s supposedly black-centric rallies across the south.
These are the
questions that every news outlet in the country should be asking today.
In fact the media
asked those same questions when Trump was holding curiously large and mostly
white rallies in southern black towns.
But Bernie continues
to get a free pass, because his campaign is still too ratings-friendly for the
media to want to poke the obvious holes in it just yet.
