Students at the University of California, Berkeley held a day of protest on Friday to demand the creation of additional “safe spaces” for transgender and nonwhite students, during which a human chain was formed on a main campus artery to prevent white students from getting to class.
The demonstrators were caught on video blocking Berkeley’s Sather Gate, holding large banners advocating the creation of physical spaces segregated by race and gender identity, including one that read “Fight 4 Spaces of Color.”
Protesters can be heard shouting “Go around!” to white students who attempt to go through the blockade, while students of color are greeted with calls of “Let him through!”
Students turned away by the mob are later shown filing through trees and ducking under branches in order to cross Strawberry Creek, which runs underneath the bridge.
Protesting students went on to march through the Berkeley Student Union, chanting and disrupting students who are studying.
One student, who was not a part of the protest, tells the videomaker that the demonstrators are “being quite childish.”
“I agree with the right to protest, but disrupting the peace of others is not OK,” he says.
The group later occupies the school store, chanting “Students Over Profits!” They place an “eviction notice” on the store, which claims the university “wrongly allocated this two-story facility to third-party corporations, keeping in line with its intensifying legacy of prioritizing financial profit over student needs.”
Demonstrators finally made their way to an intersection in front of campus, where students blocked traffic and chanted, “Whose university? Our university!”

Whatever happened to their silly “co exist” mantra?
A family member was getting a doctorate at Harvard in the 1990s. One week there was a surprise teach-in on race during which “students of color” prevented the regular class material from being presented in order to discuss race, i.e. whites were harangued. Two examples of a “person of color” were a Korean grad student with almost no English skills, and the son of a West African prince whose mother was one of 23 wives. One example of a white oppressor was an older man most of whose family had been murdered in the Holocaust.

In Fact a RICO case could be brought tomorrow, I wonder were AG Loretta Lynch is??? Orchestrating it??
I will bet my money not a single one of those “protestors” is paying a dime for their Berkeley education.
If you were born here or are legally naturalized, and sincerely believe in and live by our Constitution and its attendant Bill of Rights, and are ‘ in very fact an American and nothing but an American’, then you are an American.
This doesn’t preclude any appreciation or respect toward your ancestors, and the cultural richness that you may have inherited; but has to do with your ultimate national loyalty.
It’s a wonderful thing to be an American.
White people who choose UC Berkeley deserve to be victims. Its why they went there.
So basically they are segregationists denying the right to be educated.
And the snowflakes backed down because the site of blood makes them queezy
