The Morehouse Mindset - inherent or learned?

*SMH* so I was right all along.

WHERE'S **** TIGHT?

This Mindset you are all talkin about is little to nothing. let me start by saying that men of morehouse and morehouse men are two different categories. The way in which most of my fellow brothers of morehouse carry themselves is far from arrogant or conceited. People who have a certain level of maturity act in different ways and your experience and the situation you are in usually lead you in the way you are going to handle business. Men in general are proud and outspoken and have the ability to lead or follow and like to be apart of their surroundings and not just watch it. The men that I have encountered at morehouse are respectful and educated just like the men i encountered at hampton, howard, Clark, or any other school that is teaching their students how to deal with society when they graduate. It is not as if the men of morehouse are macho or the morehouse men are arrogant. It has a lot more to do with the level of respect and dignity they have for themselves and what they represent.

^^^That was well said brother.

Amazing, we're considered arrogant. Yet you have 3 page-long discussions about US! There is got to be SOMETHING that keeps puttn' Morehouse's name in ya'll mouths. Anyhow, the "arrogance" that people say Morehouse students/alumni have is very relative. What may be considered arrogant to one person is considered confidence to another person. The same thing has been said about Spelmanites. In both situations, you've got people who are just general **** that are socially **** and will probably remain that way. On the other specturm you have people with common sense and an enstilled sense of confidence. Morehosue doesn't "create" anyone's persona. All it does it amplify what was already there. It's just like when you join a fraternity. If you were LAME before you crossed over, you'll be LAME after you crossed over, 'cept you'll have a jacket and maybe a cane to supplicate to your LAMENESS.
