Washington (CNN)Students at Howard University loudly protested former FBI Director James Comey Friday as he delivered a convocation address.

As Comey, making a rare public appearance since leaving the FBI, began his speech welcoming new students at Howard University, protesters could be heard yelling from the back of the room, raising their fists and shouting. Some of the slogans included "No justice, no peace, "We shall not be moved" and "white supremacy is not a debate."

Standing before a packed auditorium, Comey stood silently for over 15 minutes as the students yelled, "I love being black" and "Get out James Comey -- you're not our homey."

"I love the enthusiasm of young folks, but I wish they understood what a conversation is," Comey said as the students continued to chant, sing and clap throughout his entire prepared remarks. He said that he had received a number of invitations to speak over the place several months, but "chose to come here."

Why is Howard University named after a white person?

I agree, I believe deep down inside most blacks wish they could wave a magic wand and become white. How racist of me to think that!

How rude and disgusting these black students are! James Comey is a lying POS, but that does not excuse the students’ ghetto behavior. And I’m willing to bet most of these students earned worthless degrees in black lesbian studies, “social justice,” sociology, black gay musical theatre, “environmental justice,” etc

Wonder how that makes the few White students feel?

Howard is an Historically Black University. There was some contretemps recently involving some white girls in their Student Union....I only saw a headline, so that’s all I know.

Any whites there are asking for issues.

hat do they have against James Comey? Are they astute followers of politics or is it just because he is white?

I'll take "because he's wyte" for $200, Alex.
