Organizers of a recent Ferguson protest at the University of Missouri requested “only people of color” take part in the event’s “die-in,” one element of a larger demonstration that prompted at least two classes to be shelved so students could participate.
“During the demonstration we will hold a ‘die-in’ in the student center. We are asking that only people of color be the ones to do so,” event organizers stated in an email obtained by The College Fix. “We are asking non-people of color to stand holding hands in solidarity.”
“The ‘die-in’ is meant to represent black bodies that are killed unjustly. It was requested that others stand in a circle holding hands,”

Junior Daniel Beaman told The College Fix his psychology class was shelved Tuesday as a result. He said his professor invited students to participate in the walk out and, although the scholar did not leave the classroom, did not offer a lecture.
“I paid for my class. I don’t want to cut it short, so I don’t want to leave early unless I absolutely have to,” Beaman said in a telephone interview.
When asked what he thought of organizers’ stipulation that only people of color be involved in the “die-in,” Beaman, who is white, said “if they are trying to make a message that is against racism, I think they may have failed. The email makes it appear as if white people are not victims of police brutality. Like it’s only a black issue.”

Leave it to college kids to take political correctness to the far extreme.

Non-people of color? Is that PC speak for crayons?
I have a box of 64 they can use. They’re colored, and they definitely aren’t people.
Black stupidity on parade ... what could possibly be negative?
The White kids need to do their own representing black on white crime the MSM ignores
I suspect that your box of crayons are infinitely smarter ;’)
Buuuwaahaaahaaa. Did the little people of white gettheir liberal feelings hurt? It is Bizarro world, just like my folks warned me about.And what colour,praytell, might “that” color be?
Oh my. I guess I should be ashamed that my alma mater practices apartheid.
