    Sadly I just saw a poll where even 65% of black voters under 30 support Hillary. Bernie has a long way to go. I hope the HBCU tour helps.

    @alton and @Nick Delmacy
    So black men can't step at a black college especially when white people are around because we now cooning and buck dancing? When we have black entertainers, entertaining at the white house for Michelle and Obama...they cooning too right...because white people are present there also?

    Where is the Shuckin and Jivin cooning book where yall pulling these rules and regulations from?

    Chill out, dude. My reasoning for seein' "Black Face" ain't have shit to do with Bernie Sanders or any other white presence. I just didn't like the moves they were doin' and it reminded me of some exaggerated "Mr. Bojangles" shit, thas all. I've stepped before plenty of times (high school and in the military) and I've never liked doin those moves. Nick I'm sure has his own reason but I can't speak for him, bro.

    @Ockydub , you should worry less about the stepping and more about all those empty ass seats. LOL

    I just found it odd that even at a political event black people feel the need to dance flamboyantly.

    Would @Ockydub feel the same if the Black Gay students at Morehouse College broke out into a loud femm vogue ballroom battle? I think not:

    It's just "gays being gays" right?

    If this were a frat event then cool...Greeks being Greeks...at a Greek event.

    Or even a talent show, cool...they got moves...

    But a political speech by a leading presidential candidate at a college?

    You have to be serious in order to be taken seriously.

    The two trains of thought aren't mutually exclusive though...It can both be "Ques being Ques" AND "black people cooning."

    When haven't black people been serious? In context, I have no problem in saying I don't subscribe to "respectability politics."

    ...in other words, don't show your blackness because white people will view you negatively or be offended and you best believe black people will be looking for a reason to determine if the level of your blackness is appropriate or not.

    The audacity of a black frat showing pride in a 100's year tradition at all black college has to be examined and classified as "cooning" SIMPLY because whites may be watching.

    I've been at Hampton University were Jesse Jackson and other black leaders were present and the same thing happened with a black female sorority in the hall before the event happened...the same as it did here.

    I'm super sensitive to stereotypes but this conclusion is ridiculous.

    That being said if this was at a white college campus and a white frat did the same thing...

    ...crickets.

    First of all...you didn't go to an HBCU, I did...Matter of fact, I attended a college LITERALLY right next door to Morehouse...and it wasn't "School Daze" all day everyday in that bitch...Frat Nikkas just don't break out into a step routine in the middle of class or official indoor events like its run of the mill. That shit was reserved for the outside areas, the pep rallys, football games, etc. Not serious intellectual events at an institute for higher learning.

    Secondly, show me the video of white fraternity students on white college campus suddenly breaking out into into dance or a beer keg rager at a Ted Cruz or Jeb Bush political event. I'll wait.

    Thirdly, you conveniently ignored my question on if you would feel the same wayt about the black gay students at Morehouse breaking out into a vogue ballroom battle...:kermit:

    1st: Dear @$$. Shaw University is an HBCU that I attended and have the student loans to prove it. Know your facts before you try it.
    :foxxxy:

    Regardless where I attended school, that has nothing to do with the observations.

    2nd: I gave a clear example of my experience when I attend an "state of the black union" type event at Hampton University when I was a senior in HS.

    3rd: I ignored your question about the black gay students vouging because it had nothing to do with the topic. There is enough material here already to discuss the topic.

    We don't agree...I don't see certain expressions of blackness and tradition as "cooning", you do.

    1st: Online Universities that you found from an banner ad on Blackplanet.com don't count as an HBCU

    2nd: My quote to your original post proves that you edited your post and inserted that irrelevant Hampton shit AFTER I responded...that's cheating.

    3rd: Show me a video clip of white fraternity students loudly and flamboyantly demonstrating their "whiteness" before a political speech.

    4th: My analogy about gay students is totally relevant, you just don't have an answer for it.

    Stepping is not an "expression of blackness" its an expression of Greek and Frat culture.

    If the topic was about students with dreadlocked and natural hair, I would agree with you...but we're talking about a bunch of dudes turning a political event into a musical montage scene from House Party. I half expected to see Chill bumping into the DJ table...

    Soooo much to be covered here, but since I'm neither Greek, nor did I attend a HBCU, I'll just say this:

    This is entire "argument" of yours is a reach, and reeks of respectability politics. You're entitled to your opinion though, even if its loud and wrong. I'm not invested enough to try to sway you other wise.

    Like most of everything I type online, I proof read, re-read, correct spelling, add thoughts and take away thoughts to better convey or prove my argument...like a logical thinker should. You not acknowledging my Hampton University experience or calling it cheating doesn't change what happen.

    Stepping is unique to BLACK frats and greeks at HBCUs as it has its roots in African culture. Something I learned while attending Shaw University an historic HBCU.

    Your POV is yours...I disagree with it because I think its wrong. You're not gonna change my mind nor I yours.

    Props to these young college black brothers for getting their step on at a political rally.

    You telling a story about a group of sistah-gurls dancing at a different political speech doesn't prove that it's the norm.

    I promise you that if we were both students and you saw a group of fem gay men doing the same you would look at me in embarrassment.

    Stepping is loud, disruptive and not directly associated with "being black." Call it "respectability politics" all you want, I call it courtesy and decorum. Not everyone wants to see and hear that shit but they, like the fem gay dudes, are attention seeking. A trait you claim to despise just as much as me in every other situation when it applies to flamboyant fem men, but not when it applies to black masculine hetero men it seems.

    I never said that frat men stepping should never be allowed, just not at a serious political event. It wasn't a black family reunion with cousin Ray Ray and nem...what could be the next fucking president of the most powerful nation in the free world was about to speak. There is a time and place for everything.

    In relationships, we have to have compromise...I agree with you on these two points. Now, be gone!
