Bernie Sanders held a rally at Morehouse College


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!


February 17, 2016


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.
