The world frequently quotes our most famous and beloved alumnus, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but the world must know that without Morehouse, there would be no Dr. King.
what in the fuck. yeah, he was a double legacy at morehouse but he got 2/3rds of his degrees at other institutions, including his doctorate. and, more importantly, credentials don’t create people. successful and influential alumni are something to brag about, not claim as a created property.
i would be furious if the place that i got my credentials said or even implied i wouldn’t exist without them.
However, there was considerable pushback to the appearance due to the administration’s stance due to displeasure with his administration’s handling of Israel’s conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
Honestly I used to kick myself about never trying to get into an HBCU, instead opting for a local community college. In the wake of this minstrel-assed horseshit, I’m beginning to think I made the right call. Can you imagine the undying temerity needed to coon out for a genocidal segregationist, then claim that the man who was one of the drivers of our liberatory struggle would have been nothing without you?
Death to Morehouse’s minstrel collaborators. They deserve the same tribulation Biden deserves.
