The President Went To Howard University


Ok, the headline is a little misleading.
The President and the first family attended a basketball game at historical Howard University over the holiday weekend. Howard was playing Oregon State University which is coached by Eugene Robinson , the brother of the First Lady and the First Family dropped in to check out the game. I know Howard University students are mad they weren't in town to greet the FFOTUS.
 Can anyone recall the last time a sitting (or former) President attended anything at an HBCU that didn't involve a campaign or politics? See, this is one of the things many Black people love about the First Family. This is why we feel like one of us made it to the White House.

 I wonder if The First Lady took Sasha and Malia over to the AKA stone or any of the other BGLOs that were founded at Howard University (for the record,Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.was founded on the campus of Indiana University).....had to throw that in there. I'm sorry but things like the FFOTUS hanging out on an HBCU campus is priceless to me.
Now if we can get them to attend the Magic City Classic next year here in Birmingham, I'll be straight.  Ok......Ok........I know that's pushing it, but if by chance someone in the White House is reading this blog (wishful thinking), we will be at gate 6B in the white corporate tent with the live band and DJ. If the police officers checking wristbands gives you a hard time, just time them Mod Lumpkin from The Board Room invited you and they will let you right in.
