The tree was on the side of the campus that, by long-standing tradition, had always been claimed by white students, who make up more than 80 percent of the 460 students. But a few of the school's 85 black students had decided to challenge the accepted state of things and asked school administrators whether they, too, could sit in the tree's shade. In the North there are plenty schools where say the school have 60% black students and 40% white. I GUARANTEE that the 40% of white folk are too darned scared and too darned smart to be violating in social space established by the 60% of the black students.

Scared white people get no respect.I had a friend who got challenged by some black thug his first week at school in Oakland.This was back in 1966.The white kid fought hard but still got his ass whipped.
From then on the other black kids left him alone.AND he and the original antagonist actually became friends later.

Yes, the old double standard. In the La incident the minority blacks were simply trying to undo a racial hang over from olden days. In your case, whites doing the same would be instigating a racial incident.

In NYC most of the schools have stairwells which white students are not permitted to use. There are no signs posted. Your first inkling of this "rule" is a punch in the face, followed by a "stompin'", which is par for the course with blacks (as in this case).
