I just looked at several pages of the most recent pictures in the "post your bid day pics" thread. In virtually all of them, there are 0, 1 or 2 black faces among 30-150 white ones from non-Southern schools. In only one photo of a small group did I see more than 10% black members. Ole Miss should not be the only school called out specifically on this issue. If it is true that "Ole Miss had explicit national policies excluding members of color for most of their history, " how do you explain the sea of overwhelmingly white faces at those other schools? This smacks of the pot calling the kettle black, if you'll pardon the pun. The reality is that it's not a Southern thing and it's not an Ole Miss thing. The bid day pictures prove that the "Whites Only" sign is still hanging at schools in the North, South, East and West.
