CU-Boulder Anti-Racism Rally Canceled Because Organizers Are White
Breitbart ^ | 22 Nov 2015 | Lee Stranahan

Posted on 11/22/2015 7:47:51 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

An anti-racism rally planned at the University of Colorado, Boulder, to show solidarity with University of Missouri black activists was cancelled because the protest organizers are white. However, a check of one of the event planner’s Facebook page reveals that isn’t the case.

The rally was killed under pressure from the CU’s Black Student Alliance, whose co-president Paris Ferribee said, “It’s not anyone that’s being affected telling the story, it’s only white people telling the story.” The rally was planned by students in a CU course called “Whiteness Studies.” Azabe Kassa posted an apology on the group’s Facebook page:

On behalf of the Whiteness Studies class, we apologize to the Black student organizations and Black students on the CU campus. We realize that we acted impulsively and should have consulted with BSA, not taking into account their previous efforts. We acknowledge that we should have contacted BSA to see what they were already planning WITH regard to Mizzou. While we understand that this does not excuse our actions, we learned a lesson in proper allyship. We still hope to work with BSA to support YOUR efforts AND to stand in solidarity with Black students. We intend to follow BSA’s lead, and we have cancelled the rally that we planned for tomorrow. At this time, we intend to leave the event page up as a public forum to draw attention to issues of racism on this campus. This space was not intended to invoke racist comments, however these comments show exactly why we do need to address racism on this campus. If anyone would like this page to be taken down, please contact me. Once again, we sincerely apologize for any offense we have caused, and take full responsibility for our actions.

You can't make this stuff up!

Reality has become satire and a parody of its self!

The statement reads like a letter of repentance from one of Stalin’s victims. Written right before they were shot.

Does anyone think that these college children know the definition of “racism?” They are products of public education.

It is time for the parents of these mentally ill students to involuntarily commit them. What naive spoiled children.

Comedy writers must be in a state of panic. What is going on at America’s once Institutions of Higher Learning is crazier than any jokes or satire one could dream up. Sheer madness.
