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.

The black community needs to be proverbially slapped across dey face and told by the white community to “Wake up”, “Grow up”, and “Get with the rest of civilized productive society...”
Don’t knock all public education.
I had one,my kids had one,and my grandkids had or are having one.
We are all doing quite well.
It’s not nice to paint with such a broad brush.

If you treat people like children, they stay children.
The federal government has been treating blacks like children since 1965 -- see Poverty, War On.
If it weren’t for white folk, the blacks would still be in slavery. They know nothing about history.
On Watters World tonight he was doing a Man On The Street segment. One black chick argued with him and told him that Abraham Lincoln wasn’t white.

Do they see how deeply racist and hate filled their lefty cause is yet?
