Mizzou/Black Lives Protesters Say Paris Attacks Took Spotlight
Fox News ^ | 11/18/15 | (specific author not indicated)

After 129 were killed in coordinated attacks Friday in Paris, several protesters took to Twitter to express anger at "losing the spotlight" in the media.

"Racist white people kill me, you want everyone to have sympathy for YOUR tragedy, but you have none for ours," wrote user Melanin Monroe under the Twitter handle @NeonElectricity in a post that has since been removed.

Others, like user "dog enthusiast," under the handle @bmahimaaa, equated the slaughter in Paris with the racial tensions in Missouri -- calling both "terrorism."

"Paris attacks were terrorism," the user wrote. "black students getting death threats on their college campuses (A SUPPOSED SAFE SPACE!!) is also TERRORISM."

The tweet -- which is now under a protected account -- had 211 retweets and 239 "likes" as of Wednesday morning.

Highly unlikely some of these “protesters” even know Paris is not in the USA.

As far as I’m concerned BLM didn’t rate any “spotlight” the moment they became associated with rioters and looters.

They’ve both jumped the shark AND nuked the fridge,

The response to them now shouldn’t be any resurgence of actual racism against blacks, as may well be the case in some instances, but people just telling them they no longer give a damn at all.

I wouldn’t be surprised how many of them are ISIS sympathizers. Really.

Considering the state of geographical knowledge in the country today some may even think “Paris Hilton” for all we know....

Oh I think that was their way of saying that they did support it, if you read between the lines.
