Missouri white students told not to take part in Ferguson ‘die-in’ demonstration
College Fix - University of Missouri ^ | December 4, 2014 | Christopher White

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

most of "those people" are nearly Insensate ,,,,,

in·sen·sate inˈsenˌsāt,-sit/ adjective lacking physical sensation. "a patient who was permanently unconscious and insensate" lacking sympathy or compassion; unfeeling. "a positively insensate hatred" completely lacking sense or reason. "insensate jabbering"

I doubt if anything short of being run over would change anything theyre doing

Is this supposed to represent the 7% of black murder victims that are murdered by non-black criminals?

Whites are unjustly killed and harassed by bad cops, too. The militarization of the profession affects everyone. The Feds did that in the name of terror. They singled out white men as “lone wolf” terrorists. Now the Feds are doing what?
