Protest at Primal Scream Leads to Chaotic Exchange

A group of about 30 students attempted to hold a silent demonstration in the first minutes of Primal Scream, a biannual naked run around Harvard Yard,

...

The run is a College tradition in which students, at times inebriated, run naked around the Yard on the eve of the first day of exams.

...

About ten minutes before the intended start of the run at midnight, the group of protesters convened near Harvard Hall on the path encircling the Yard and held signs..

As student streakers began to gather, talking and shouting, just a few yards away, the protesters, some of them clad in black sweatshirts with the words, “I ♥ Black People,” stayed silent. After failing to quiet the students with a megaphone, Khurana was lifted onto the back of a half-naked man, from where Khurana tried to quiet the crowd again.

When the streakers continued to talk, the protesters broke their silence, chanting, “Silence. Silence.” Meanwhile, shouts of “U.S.A., U.S.A.!” erupted from the group of runners, drowning out the calls for silence by the protesters.

...

Addressing the crowd, Walker and Sarah F. Cole ’16, another protester and president of the Black Students Association, expressed frustration that the silent demonstration did not go as planned.

black sweatshirts with the words, “I ♥ Black People,” Would it be racist if you wore a sweatshirt with the words "I love Ni*****? or I love N-words?

At Harvard, Congregationalism gave way to Unitarianism, Unitarianism to Agnosticism, Agnosticism to utter madness ... and there we are today.

Families that send their kids to Harvard sure appear to be getting their money’s worth.

People are getting tired of the black loudmouths; tired of the illegal loudmouths; and tired of the queer loudmouths.
