Orangeburg SC is a very small town that is 90% black 35 miles from the state capital. Was it for show, are they looking for black votes in a white republican state.

The main point was the Dems will do and say anything that will make blacks feel they care about them. They don't.
I work with a firm that hire grads from the State University one year and the owner call the head man I asks what you was teaching them, They knew very little in their field. I been there myself and some of the books I saw was the same books I use in HS 10 years before.

It's because they know the only way they can win is the have the black vote. All the debate in SC have been in black schools. Look like the Dem's don't like schools over 70% white or the white voters.

First of all, as a student at South Carolina State University, I do not appreciate you belittling my institution by referring to it as "so-called". We are just as much an institute of higher learning as any other school. We have a rich history here in Orangeburg and are known for producing numerous influential individuals. If you read the paper, watch the news, and pay attention to politics, the newly elected majority whip is James E. Clyburn, who happens to be from South Carolina and an alumnus of South Carolina State University. He pushed for the debate to be held here at South Carolina State University to showcase his alma mater, which is completely understandable. We are always hearing about Duke, UNC, Harvard, Princeton, etc...why not showcase an HBCU (historically black college and university)? The world is going through change and having the debate here clearly shows how we are evolving. Why would it matter where it is held? The important thing is to pay attention to the facts and who represents your ideals for the upcoming national election. Think about that next time type a question without thinking about it first.

Wrong. It was out of long time due respect. Obama made this happen. White Country, White Places, and now we have a Black Candidate, one who deserves respect. Let's not read too much into it. There are many campaign advocates on these boards and they are playing with our minds, and hired by Hillary and Rudolph, as they are the ones who have the more seasoned deliverance. Believe it, and Hillary only left the Republican Party to help her husband season himself to get elected in Arkansas. Let's get real.

First of all it is "have" not "how"...I can not stand people constantly ridiculing HBCU's (historically black colleges & UNIVERSITIES...yes we do have them for your info). I know that the person who posted this question did not directly belittle this institution but it certainly did indirectly. The reason why they had it there is....because they wanted to!!! Why focus on where they had it...you need to be focusing on the bigger picture of what was said in the debate. That is why they had the debate in the first place...to make the voters job easier in determining who they will support for the highest office in the land. The purpose of this debate was not to "sit back" and ridicule (indirectly) this prestigious institution but to gain some knowledge.
Judging from this question...the mission for you (person who posted the question) was not complete.

Race has nothing to do with the location of the debate because no questions about race were even lodged during the debate to make it interesting. The candidates are playing it safe.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.

Why does it matter where it was held? Or have anything to do with race? I think it's good for this college to get some recognition, as it would be for any college, regardless of who attended it.
You should be focused on what issues the candidates are for or against and what they plan to do about them, not race or where the debate was held!

It really upsets me that because this debate was held at an HBCU it caused so much outrage! Why is it such a big deal? If it was held at a white school it wouldn't have been a problem. White people would just feel more comfortable acting as if black people weren't here! Love to tell you, We Are Here!!!!! Deal with it!

This is just another event of electoral bribary on the Democrats. The sad truth is the target of this event is so engrained in hate that they will vote for Democrats believeing that the Democrats are the champion of human rights. What needs to be addressed is why it is perfectly okay for black people to hate white people to the degree the Nazis hated the Jews, but should a white man have the slightest reluctance to interact socially with a person of color heis deemed a "racist" or as Robert Mugabe puts it a member of his party.

A "so-called" university? You're kidding right? They have a long and impressive history at that highly accredited college. What a perfectly racist question I find this to be, you should be ashamed of yourself.
EDIT: boomer, you need to check your facts. Hillary Clinton left the Republican Party long before she ever met Bill Clinton.

Does it really matter that they did it in a so-called "black" university and in a town that is 90% black?
I thought that in America, race was not supposed to be an issue.
