Hillary Clinton and "Black Twitter" has a conniption; a recent Blavity piece highlights a discussion betweeb attendees of HBCUs versus PWI (predominantly White Institutions) and lastly, flyers on University of Michigan's campus allegedly are dissuading interracial liasons courtesy of an Alt-Right organization.  Call the hosts live at 646-915-9620.
