Reporter expelled from public university ‘Black Lives’ event for not being of ‘African descent’
thecollegefix.com ^ | 08/03/2015 | JASON WEAVER - UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN

A reporter was harassed at a “Movement for Black Lives” rally at Cleveland State University after an announcement to the crowd that “this is a peoples of African descent space. If you are not of African descent please go to the outside of the circle immediately.”

That according to a video circulating which shows reporter Brandon Blackwell, who is not of African descent, quickly retreat to the back of the gathering amidst cheers from activists surrounding him, seemingly in support of the banishment.

The video, recorded by Blackwell himself on Sunday, captured the events that occurred on the steps of a Cleveland State University building while the university’s crest loomed above.

Members of the crowd took to blocking Blackwell’s camera with their hands, a traffic cone, and a T-shirt that reads “The Movement for Black Lives.”

Seen in the video is an aggravated crowd of primarily black activists. The group consists of all ages and genders and includes a small contingent of young children located close to the main speaker. Several in attendance are young adults, college aged, and wearing backpacks, presumably students at the university.

At points throughout the roughly 20 minute video, Blackwell is accused of being a federal agent and an agitator while he explains to them he is a reporter and identifies himself by name and occupation.

The video concludes with Blackwell repeatedly asking one activist to not touch his camera.

“I got 800 black people behind me, what the f*** are you gonna do?” replied the activist, while standing face to face with Blackwell.

According to Cleveland.com, “the three-day conference held at Cleveland State University kicked off a new campaign, Movement for Black Lives, which is fueled by national outrage over a series of deaths of minorities at the hands of police.”

He should've said, "I'm as black as Rachel Dolezal."

'Course they would've kicked his ass into next Tuesday but, dammit, it would've been funny.

Don’t know Brandon Blackwell’s politics but this is the thanks white reporters get for carrying half-black Barry Obola’s water. Twice.

Their outlook and emotions are childishly simplistic.

If there was a white supremacy movement going on, they certainly would have have nothing to fear from this group of people.

If Ernie Els, Retief Goosen or Trevor Immelman were there, would they have been allowed to stay? They’re all of African descent. They are whiter than a snowstorm but they’re all of African descent. Or is South Africa not considered part of Africa?

If you go back far enough, we’re all of African descent.

The current administration has done more for race relations than Hitler, Goebbels and Himmler, combined.

The thing about the foreigners flooding into the country is that when they take control, they're not going to put up with these childish black tantrums.

It sounds to me like the “black lives” gang is made up of a bunch of racists. Figures.

I've suggested that White South African farmers should fly to Tijuana, cross the Rio Grande and claim asylum as Africans fleeing genocide.

Watching liberal heads explode would be worth the price of a plane ticket.

Should’ve said he’s half as black as Lord Foul and just as black as billy the first black president and just as much a slave due to reverse discrimination.
