Good for them! Thes da** fools are losing their minds! I assume there must be a huge gay/crossdressing population at Morehouse?

Why the heels and clutch?

Its ridiculous and I know there is an abundance of sissies down there..wearing high heels and womens clothes..BTWay its looks utterly ridiculous on men. the high heels and purses are a mess..I mean for real..this idiot looks stupid and his body is disgusting..wow.

It’s about time somebody gets a dress code. Men Why go to college with saggin pants and in womens clothes? (YOU CAN’T GET NOBODY’s JOB DRESSED EITHER WAY). Isn’t the purpose of college to get a decent job

Any man that is smart enough to get into Morehouse should have more respect than to come campus dressed like a thug who just got out of prison.

i cant wait til gay groups start cryin out discrimination

I disagree with all of you. The fact that these people made it into college is a great thing. College years are full of discovery and freedom of choice and identity. Regardless of your like or dislike of someone’s appearance, the last thing a college that promotes diversity in thought should be doing is enforcing a dress code of any kind. The young man in the photo may be extreme for many of us is no different than the young men and women that like their scarves and durags. This irritates me because who are they hurting. As far as getting a job is concerned, their education will get them the job. Yes appearance is a great part of getting a job, but when does going to class and enjoying campus life mean you will not get a job? These people know better when going for interviews. DO NOT CONFUSE DAY TO DAY LIFE AND GENERAL FUN AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION WITH PROFESSIONAL PLACEMENT AFTER GRADUATION. I also find objection with the “higher standard” statement. These are college young men and women having fun and enjoying each other. What is the harm? We as a race of people face alot in life period. Why is it when we go to a place that has been designed for us we are not allowed to be ourselves. I think the ruling is utterly ridiculous. And NO I have never dressed like this and never want to but as an American I feel that if that is someone’s desire and choice, MORE POWER TO THEM!

I’m feeling very proud of Morehouse for taking this stand. CHECK these idiots with the nonsense they wear. It’s a damn shame this code of dress has to be implemented and some of these douchebags don’t have the good sense to dress themselves appropriately without being monitored.

As long as they are not hurting anyone or conducting themselves in a disrespectful manner, then what they wear shouldn’t really be a problem. But openly gay men need to take note of this before they apply to conservative private institutions. They could have easily applied to public schools, that are just as good, if not better than Morehouse, and had little to no problems with the way they dressed. This wouldn’t have been an issue at Berkley, NYU, UCLA or MIT.

I think that it is a wonderful idea! If not now, when? learn how to be a real man or at least look the part while you further your education. We have so much negativity pointed in our direction, why not strive to be the best that we can be and stop accepting less.

Dude looks like Florida Evans LMAO!!!!

I like it, dressing should be a personal choice, but things in the black community have just gotten out of hand. We need discipline and structure.

WAY TO GO MOREHOUSE! 1st, the man in the picture is a grown man in Atlanta that is a stylist. The picture is for effect. 2nd, Morehouse is a private – very selective – college. Any young man that is admitted to Morehouse should appreciate the fact that they are the CREAM OF THE CROP! Cream is always on top. Dressing the part is establishing yourselves as part of the best representation of yourselves and within our race. If the gentlemen want to continue to dress “back on the block”, Clark Atlanta Univ. is right next door.

Morehouse is a private institution and they can have whatever dress code they want. Back in the day you couldn’t even wear “dungarees” to college (that’s blue jeans for those who are unaware). Women couldn’t wear pants and everyone had a curfew. Remember, most HBCUs were created and financed by white religous abolitionists(United Methodist Churches) who believed that blacks should get an education. While that is least the case at this point (most churches have since severed their ties and are letting the schools run themselves) it seems to me that Morehouse wants to get a little closer to their roots. It’s their perrogative (I hope I spelled that correctly). I’m not saying it’s right or wrong…who am I to judge either way.

Dungarees…? what year are you posting from? ill be right back i gotta go crank start my model-T and head out to the speak-easy and do the charleston

@ i am legend….read a book dude. Morehouse graduates MOST OF THE BLACK DOCTORS, LAWYERS, DENTISTS, SCIENTIST, etc. IT IS A “BLACK IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL”. Spelman (all female college) is right next door, along with co-ed CAU. OMG, I HATE IGNORANT BLOGGERS!

tis frightening but LMBAO! all schools need to go back to wearing uniforms.

@ son’s in college

lol!

Its a private school it should be able to do what it wants.

It’s all cool until they regulate something personal to you.

They need to keep their focus on education instead of the image of the student body. Although it may not looking appealing, there are more important things to be addressed then someone else’s wardrobe.

There’s a fine line between, regulating a dress code, and discriminating against people. What next, tell how to wear your hair? What cars to drive? What to eat? How to walk?

I think that guy looks ridiculous, BUT it doesnt bother me at all. I could care less actually.

I graduated from Morehouse in 2007 and saw more and more cross-dressing as I matriculated. It was sad really, because before I enrolled at Morehouse I did not even associate an all-male school with homosexuality. Either way, I am sure that it has gotten worse since I’ve left.

Hopefully this new dress policy will keep those guys out and restore Morehouse’s reputation.

I agree!!
And that photo…..strssssssssssssssssppppppppppppssssss ….dat man have a dyamn nerve a deh inna highheel!

Plus, the whole dress-code is not about discriminating against gay guys, its about being and looking like a man. That is what Morehouse is all about: producing REAL men!

Gay men can be real men. You know how many gay men are doctors, lawyers, policemen, entreprenaurs business men, CEO’s, etc. the list goes on.

Maybe people should get out of stereotypes and realize not all gay men are fashion divas.

“That is what Morehouse is all about: producing REAL men!”

Ha ha ha fairies

If you have never been to Morehouse or Spelman, you wouldn’t understand why this is an issue for them. These 2 schools have a long history of preparing men and women for greatness. I worked at Morehouse for 2 years and they are serious about what they want these young men to become. The high heels and sagging ghetto attire is insulting and I understand it. I applaud them for taking a stand.

I have RuPaul music in my head looking at that picture.

Work it boo-boo work it!
Vogue it boo-boo vogue it!
Now twirl boo-boo twirl!

@ Alice

Gay men can be real men. You know how many gay men are doctors, lawyers, policemen, entreprenaurs business men, CEO’s, etc. the list goes on.

But that’s what they’re talking about Alice….how can a man be recognized as a ‘real man’ by dressing as a WOMAN!?! R-E-A-L men DO NOT wear women’s clothing! Period! I would not, could not, should not consider a man, a REAL man if he’s in my bra, g-string & cocktail dress w/matching clutch & pumps, accesorized w/pearls, matching earrings and ruby red lipstick … NO!

Does this child go to Morehouse? Is this really a Morehouse student?

Hey Auntie V

Hey I’m Just Me!!!!

But that’s what they’re talking about Alice….how can a man be recognized as a ‘real man’ by dressing as a WOMAN!?! R-E-A-L men DO NOT wear women’s clothing! Period!

So what makes a man a real man?? Just because he dresses in a suit and tie and dockers and a polo he can still be the biggest FAG in the city…

Jamaquina.Cubana

I see what your saying but a real man is more than what he wears. This is one of those topics that just goes round and round, so I’ll leave at this. This is why the down-lo type gay man exists. No freedom to be who they want, so instead they live a lie. They dont want all the scrutiny and dirty digusting looks, so they hide and lie.

For me, If someone was saving my life or helping make the world a better place. I could care less what they wear or whom they are sleeping with. I just think people need to worry about what’s important instead of judging individuals on things that dont concern them.

@ drenk
LOL!!

This is the reason so many women are shocked when they find out a “normal” LOOKING guy is gay.

the ONLY thing that makes someone gay is their sexual orientation towards the same sex. Society has infused the minds of people into believing that unless you look like this guy (above) you must not be gay. Which is sooooo not true.

Morehouse is a private school. I think they can pretty much do what they want. I live in the “A” and ALOT of gays go to that school. I never really got that. Guess they feel more like men. But really your still gay dude!

@I AM LEGEND

Yes, you pay, you should be able to wear what you want. I’m not complaining though, tired of seeing it personally.

@Derrick

you are so correct. I totally agree.

Could we enact a dress code for the country as a whole? I am sick of seeing underwear, doo-rags, wife beaters, etc. in public. Some things should be kept behind closed doors.
**Ladies, cover your behinds in public, we don’t want to see all of that.

@ Everett, thank you for your blog. My son is transferring to Morehouse and my daughter plan to early decision to Spelman. I wasnt happy about it at first, but it’s their lives. I am very pleased about the dress code changes. It just seems better to be recognized as a “Morehouse Man” if you attend Morehouse, than to just be one in the crowd.

@ A Mess Indeed

i disagree, ladies feel free to show all types of crack n cleavage, just dont get pissy when we start hootin n hollerin

so glad the school put their foot down….Morehouse is about educating men…preparing them for the real world….where in the real world (unless your career is in entertainment)should you wear baggy pants or women’s clothes….ridiculous

That’s good to hear from my my Alma Mater. It was was time to take a stance.

I don’t know about this one. When you get to college, you should be able to wear what you want.

@Alice, thanks! I hope people will learn to accept diversity for what it truly means. I often find that people are afraid of what they don’t understand. AND fashion is something people often don’t understand. Art is something people often don’t understand. It upsets me to see people sensor and hinder each other because what they see bothers them in some form, because what they see goes against the norms…AND ITS NOT HURTING ANYONE!! I just want to know why Morehouse is limit itself to one definition of a man. There are kinds of men in the world who are successful and who make great changes and differences in the world. They look and come in all shapes and sizes. Morehouse needs to do better at trying to incorporate a broader sense of what “man” means. Wearing womens’ clothes in a fashionable way that looks good…is totally different from saggin pants that show boxers and long white tees that look like night gowns….that should be banned…cuz there is no individuality in that.

Nah… It’s way too distracting. And embarassing. You’re supposed to be getting an education and learning how to survive in this white man’s world. I work for the Symphony and there are more than a few gay men in my office. However, they know better than to show up to a business environment in heels and shit! Ridiculous.

Thank God Morehouse put thier foot down!

Applause and cheers to the “woman’s clothing” part as far as straight up dudes with face hair in high heels, pink leggings and low ride skinny jeans goes(housewives of atlanta). The Housewives of Atlanta dudes are taking the female attire too far and it’s gross, it’s like they said damn the pretty tranny thing, I’m just gon’ keep it ruff, hairy and male in my high heels and tights.

Seriously, this is an abomination. The fact that we even have to have this conversation is a sign of the apocalypse

@Anthony Okay; I can see that your gay. When are you planning on coming out of the closet? All up in here trying to justify fagetry and all of their shenanagins. It’s about time someone put these mofo’s in check.

@They Call Me…AJ– You and Anthony should get together, pronto! Heyyyyyyyy!

@Derrick Damn you too?

I agree with Morehouse’s decision, not because I am homophobic, but its for one a private institution and it can set any rules its wants to set. If you don’t like it, go to another school that is more welcoming to your wardrobe.

Secondly, college is suppose to prepare you for the life in the real world after graduation, including how to dress, carry yourself and treat other people in the work place. Kids need to learn how to dress and conform in the working world. The reality of life is that you are judged by the way you present yourself through your dress. A man CAN’T get a job dressing like a woman, unless he plans on a career in the “creative industries” (fashion, entertainment, music etc). These are skills you have to learn while you are still in school. Sometimes I go as a recruiter to job fairs for my employer, and it is amazing how these young kids show up looking like slobs to my booth, and then wonder why they can’t get jobs.

black pl have no idea what a real man is it seems. i cant say i disagree w/ the plicy or that that picture is not hilarious but your commenst are spwaned by your personal opinions which some believe are fact,. opinions are like asholes, everybody has one but that doesnt make it fact, just your view on the subject. just bc you dress a certain way, that does not determine a “real” man. there are plenty men dressing like men that arent real men at all and like alice stated there are plenty of REAL men that are gay and o cross dressing. we have these same discussions ever damn day and every day someone throws there opinion out there as if its law. i mean if im was a gay man and they implemented this rule and i dindt want to adibe by it then i would just take my money elsewhere. actually where the white ppl are bc they treat gay men better than blacks do. the craziest thing is the comments about forcing a lifestyle on you. how exactly is that done. if a man is wearing women clothes and happens to walk by you is that focing is lifestyle on you and if so you? if so you need help, thats him out minding his busines and if you dont liek it dont look, its simple. ppl always complaining about busllshyt. another one is acting liek gays are whats wrong with the black race. go back and look at the dumb n*ggas having the shootout in the bar…or the numberous kids killing kids stores, look at frankie and neffe, atl housewives. the problem w/ blacks as a whoel is lack of education and just dam crazy. how did it become cool to kill one another and how do so many turn a blind eye to it…focus on what matters ppl. your child is not going to “turn” gay bc they see another gay person. if your child is gay he/she was eithe rborn that way or chose that lifestyle. i believe there’s a combination of both in the gay community.

Damn That look like Reggie Bush in Kim shit!

as an alumni, things never should have gotten this far and loose. administrators at the school have let things slide too much to the detriment of the school’s brand. if you want to cross dress and parade your “life style” all around campus, then Morehouse is not for you. and to be down right frank, what college/university is? time for the real men of Morehouse to take da house back!!!

this pic ..lol and you know what the messed up thing is…that this guy thinks he looks hot.

WELL DONE MOREHOUSE

No one at Morehouse dresses like the picture you have placed in your blog. While your blog usually has grammatical errors and copies stories from other websites, at least be honest in your “journalism”.

If you are sagging… you do NOT have the proper frame of mind for higher education…. POINT BLANK!!!!

AND that goes for iced out grills too!!!

Good move, lets hope all colleges follow suit.

HOW U GOING TO TELL ME HOW TO DRESS AND I PAY TO GO TO SCHOOL THERE?

I HATE SAGGING PANTS TOO. BUT THAT DOESN’T MAKE U LESS SMART.

I heard the president of Morehouse speak about this. The brand of Morehouse means something to the alumni and to the publlic. Everyone at Morehouse is a holder of that brand. You can be gay. You can be straight. But if you want to be a Morehouse Man, you have got to do it on the terms of the people that came before you. Or you can take your money elsewhere. You cannot buy it. You gotta earn it, folks. The money does not matter. We would rather you leave than disrespect that campus. The cross dressing was provocative in that it attracted violence and created a distraction. Morehouse is pretty homophobic, despite the amount of gays on campus (which I think is overestimated). Gay students have been assaulted on a number of instances. We did not care what you did at home, at the club, or who you did it with. but on that Campus, whether gay or straight, you need to represent Black Manhood. And you cannot do that in a blouse. by the way, morehosue is the best college in the nation for Black men period.

He’d get the interview faster than that fool up top would…

In response to Peptostreptococcus…

; )

Work it Derek!

@jodeci78,

Darling apparently whatever monies you spent on schooling were wasted. Did you actually read your post through before hitting the “Submit Comment” button? If you’re going to attend any institution for higher learning, the goal is to learn, not present a horrible fashion statement. Now look at this atrocious posting you left below:

HOW U GOING TO TELL ME HOW TO DRESS AND I PAY TO GO TO SCHOOL THERE?

Someone telling you how to dress is the least of your problems.

Black people are always ready to applaud dress code regulations for the youth. Fashion is about FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION and what you’re wearin doesn’t hurt anybody. What you’re wearing has nothing to do with your mental capacity to learn or excel in life. And as far as this “how are you going to get a job” arguement, everyone knows that you’re supposed to wear interview attire for job interviews, so get the **** out of here with that. Ask yourself this question, if they started a dress code at a mostly white college do you think those white kids would go for that…NO! So if we’re “equal” why should we?

Hallelujah. Finally some standards. If young men realized how terrible they looked with dreads, baggy pants and baseball caps they would not leave the house.

Yeah, I go to Spelman and I swear some of these boys are no joke. For the Clark Atlanta homecoming some of the gay men went all out. It’s crazy lol

Good for them. Tired of seeing grown men with thier pants around their knees. You must be a dumbass not to know that a belt is supposed to hold your pants or shorts at the waist line and not around your thighs or knees. How on earth will anyone take you seriously when you don’t even know how to dress.

@ WHITE WOMEN RULE
1ST OF ALL WHO IN THE HELL ARE YOU? WHY DO U CARE WHAT I SAY. I FINISHED SCHOOL A LONG TIME AGO. I HAVE A GOOD JOB. I COULD CARELESS WHAT U THINK. U DIDN’T EVEN KNOW ME. YOUR BEST BET IS WORRYING ABOUT YOURSELF. IM NOT GOING TO SIT HERE AND GO BACK AND FORTH WITH U!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LAST I CHECKED “SCHOOL” WAS FOR “EDUCATION” NOT A THE NEXT TOP MODEL! I AGREE WITH MOREHOUSE’S DECISION TOO…LEAVE THAT KIND OF DRESSING FOR THE CLUBS AND NIGHT SWARAYS CAUSE IT’S WAAAAAY OVER THE TOP…

Take ya fluffy azz to another school. Remember you applied and convinced them to accept you with the understanding that you would abide by their policies.

You don’t have the RIGHT to attend, it is a privilege.

Morehouse use to pride itself on producing men of distinction but in this anything goes society shyt like DaQuan in the pink pumps and gold clutch (WTF??) is what you get.

AHHHH HAAAAA LMAO!!!

I AGREE NICE JOB BY MOREHOUSE

i’m sorry ANTHONY, but your comments are misguided. These students still have the right to dress however they want, just not while they are on campus. when u go to a job u have to follow a dress code. “express yourself” on your own time. morehouse is a private college and can therefore choose the way it represents itself even through the appearance of it’s students.

Well damn,
I feel like since Morehouse and Hampton both have these rules now ALL the gays will be flooding D.C to go to Howard University(the real HU!)! Plus the whole gay marriage legalization thing has already got them flocking the district….

@ jodeci78 — How the hell can the federal and state governments tell you what you can and can’t do and you pay taxes..??

I agree with Morehouse’s decision. These guys need to dress for success. The president is not saying that you cant be gay, he is saying that while you are on his campus you will look the part of a young man trying to obtain higher education. This dress code is not super strict or ridiculous at all. Some guys were suits everyday as business majors and I must say it is refreshing to see young black males looking professional and put together. Then there are so guys who come to school with Morehouse sweats or regular jeans, a hoodie and a pair of tennis shoes, who look comfortable and ready to learn.

Maybe people don’t realize this but Morehouse is a private CHRISTIAN College. Thus some of this behavior goes directly against there principles and beliefs. Also just because you pay for school does not give you the right to do whatever you want to…. just like any work place they are enacting a dress code and a standard. They are preparing individuals to become captains of industry, not to just find themselves. So if you want to dress a certain way, and do certain things thats ok, but mind you this you don’t have to attend MOREHOUSE College.

Get it Bish…..

See long time ago, I thought that it was cool having a all guy/girl school/college, but this is what happens when you dont have the school co-ed. HOMOSEXUAL GAY AZZ TENDENCIES. I think its time to make Spellman and Morehouse co-ed. Maybe this will HELP solve all this homo-sexual shit! This some pitiful shit.

Question: Why r there so many black gay men?????Dayum…

@Redbone…

I know I’m late… It’s hard to wrap my head around how some people are arguing that Morehouse is being discriminatory. It’s just common sense. As most everyone commenting here has stated.

@sunny,

A better question would be, if you’re not a gay man, why on earth would you care darling? See, we white women care about many things, but this isn’t one of them (gay men and sorts). Some of you black women seem so bitter that it’s no wonder your men turn to us and even to other men. With all the wrong doings in the world today (rappers wearing Gucci), exactly why is this high on your list of things to complain about?

The most obvious answer would be that your unattractive and presently without the company of a man. But dear, as long as there’s make-up, diets beautiful clothing and hair extensions (for those in need), no woman should be this bitter. Just a thought. Now put that cake down and get in gear darling!!!!

Oh dear, I just read another of your posts. Is the situation that dire? My goodness are you even mirror worthy? Perhaps we should only venture out at night dear, that might ease the stares.

Tranny U

Thank God.

I want to smack him/her silly.
