Activists that have taken over U.S. college campuses this week protesting racial injustice took to Twitter last night to complain that news coverage of the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris had stolen their spotlight.

Black Lives Matter and Mizzou protesters on Twitter said their struggles with racial oppression were being “erased” by the overwhelming news coverage of the murder of scores of people at the hands of Islamic State extremists.

“Racist white people kill me, you want everyone to have sympathy for YOUR tragedy, but you have none for ours,” one user tweeted, adding “#Mizzou.”

“Disgusted @ white conservative Americans using Paris as a ‘see black people, your woes here w/ us could be more extreme,’ but not surprised,” another user tweeted....

Agreed!!!

Ironically, Paris provided a welcoming atmosphere for black American entertainers, back in the days when there actually WAS racism in America!

Again, I’m so sick of this baseless bytchin’ group of people. Get some new administrators, president, deans or whatever with A PAIR and tell them if you don’t show up to class, you’re out! It’s useless to put most of the blame where it really belongs.....the media. That would be redundant.

How many of you freepers are cheering for your favorite college government football team this weekend... it make me sick that you are so two faced.

WTF?

I believe what the Mizzou protesters had was a listed schedule with interviews throughout the weekend to fill in the news shows. They would get lots of traction. Paris changed that....probably every spot that they had reserved was cancelled.

As far as I can see...the news media will move on now and unless they can run a protest at a new university....this gimmick is wrapped up and finished.

As I’ve said before and what BLM just proved in the most damning fashion is that they think that “only” black lives matter.

[Crucial]

BLM says it won’t have sympathy for the French tragedy and somehow equates it with some level of tragedy in their lives. Well, you don’t get anymore tragic that being murdered for no reason but naked hatred. There is no excuse for BLM’s behavior and they really know nothing about oppression except how they can oppress others.

Oh Sweetie... White, conservative Americans didn’t care about your manufactured, imaginary issues BEFORE the Paris attacks.

Yep, as this self-righteous BLM activist knows, absolutely NONE of the hundreds of people killed, maimed, or wounded in the Parisian terror attacks were "People of Color."

The racists of the BlacKKK are drama queens.
