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.”

The University of Missouri is not the only campus at which white students have been asked not to play a role in Ferguson demonstrations. “White folks” in Massachusetts were asked to keep their hands down at a campus walkout Monday afternoon

This is why the left can’t do grassroots anything. Its always manipulated from the top.
“people of color”....I chuckle every time I hear that leftist phrase...can’t help it.
“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.”
Black demonstrators have become a joke to normal people.
We are asking non-people of color to stand holding hands in the back of the bus.”
There fixed it.
Next thing you know, “people of color” will be demanding their own drinking fountains
Me too. I always wondered why "people of color" is very PC, yet "colored people" isn't?
If I were in these universities, paying exorbitantly for classes , and they were cancelled because of this I'd be PO'd.
I am waiting to hear the phrase “normal privileged”.
Ma, Ma, we’re all crazy now!

Good. Let the poor widdle snowflakes learn to dispose of their white guilt somewhere else. Unless of course they learn this ‘die-in’ is but another stupid expression of black racism.

If the racist organizers won’t let whites be involved in the die-in, will they at least let us play the part of the evil white KKK cops who want so despetately to shoot themselves a colored person?
Cause I could so do that. I could get me a white robe and play the part of Darren Wilson.

Robert: China, I guess.
Howard: On other colored people?
Robert: Now whoever told you a Chinaman was colored?
Agree! What’s the difference between “colored people” and “people of color?”. Absolutely hilarious....laughing as I type this.
Drinking fountains are gone. Businesses SELL the drinking water to customers for $1-2 a bottle (or more) instead of giving away drinking water for free.
Whites should start having die-ins in honor of white victims of black criminals.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....(gasp)....HAHAHAHAHA!!
Outstanding reference, sir. I am tipping the hat...
