Mizzou Demonstrators Segregate White Allies to Form ‘Black Only Healing Space’

I was paying 50+K per year to send my son to a prestigious out-of-state University...He was a straight 'A' Honor's Student in High School.
Freshman year in college, his grades went waaay down....and his attitude towards education also became very lazy.

I told him we had been struggling to make that education available to him and said he would have to come back to his home state, get a job and go to a local community college. He did...he graduated at the top of his class...and now has a great job at 70K per year...which he absolutely loves.

To even use the word "Race" infers a winner and loosers. It is not reverse racism either. That infers that one group (always the whites for some reason) hated the other first. The world is bigger than America so slavery is not an excuse to continue hatred over skin color. Who knows who hated first, better yet who cares? What is important and what I care about iswho will be the last ones to hate. A much better metric to judge our advancement as people. Who will be last?

I am unsure of Mizzou's level of diversity, but from what I've seen it is pretty diverse. If you want to be around other black students taught by black teachers got to Brown, or any other "Black" School. If you choose self segregation, there are options. Now, if you are white and want the same thing, to self segregate, then sorry but you are a blatant racist, that is not allowed and to even think of it makes you a racist. This makes no logical sense no matter how you look at it.

I'm sorry people but wake up, there will never be an end to racism, at least until everyone is grey. I've done my part, I have two grey babies.

I can't believe the stupidity of the students in that video? Is this seriously the quality of college students these days? That is a public space and they think this student reporter doesn't have the right to take their picture? Then they think they have the right to step forward and push him? That is legally assault...They think the 1st amendment only applies to them and aren't aware it also applies to the student reporter?? Why are they so afraid of having their area documented?

I would hope several of those students are removed from campus and any administrators involved with the students during that video are suspended/removed from their positions.

Well, I could make an argument that we might be a bit understanding toward this isolated, temporary incident based on the fact that there have been death threats and threats of violence made against Black students on this campus in the last 24-48 hours.

Of course, I can anticipate what the reaction would be, cries of "no evidence" etc.

Ironically, if not paradoxically, I'm going to surprise you all and actually AGREE with the idea that this "separation by race" should not have happened at this time on this campus. It was not a positive move on the part of any of the protestors.

Like I said ... I can understand the reasons, but, it simply wasn't, in my opinion only, the best thing that could have happened, and here's why.

There is racism from all corners in this country (please don't derail the thread on this statment, I know that many of you disagree.

There is an "official" definition of racism that has been propagated by academics in the last 20 years or so, that is, again in my opinion somewhat foolishly, suggesting that racism is something that only happens ONE WAY, i.e. only a majority can impose racism. As some of you claim: Only Whites are racists. Some people do say this. It's stupid.

I would agree with the most right-wing member here that is absolute GARBAGE.

Here's what I fundamentally believe: We aren't going to end racism (or contain it which is about the best I hope for) by denying racism IN ANY WAY.

Racism is generally a belief system and a pattern of behavior that treats one race as superior or preferable to another. Period. That's just what racism is.

Defining it any other way is BS, academically-fabricated sociological, rank-smelling BS.

Like it or not, we are all going to have to work TOGETHER to solve these problems.

Doing ill-considered stuff like this breaking up into segregated groups, and like what happened at the well-documented events at the tent city when the student journalists were basically attacked, is not helping to solve the situation ANY MORE than those who are making threats against Black students, ignoring the situation, etc., and denying that there are problems are.

In my opinion. Your mileage may vary.

Don't do this. If they feel they need private space and personal time, it's nobody's business but their own.
Let them have it in peace.

umm when anybody's personal business infringes on someone else freedom to be somewhere that is public, its an issue... ecspecially when we've seen the opposite end of this... what next segregated bathrooms and classroom? NO! any student has the ability to choose their college, if you didn't choose one with (in your opinion) a teacher that represents you through color or belief, that's your fault.

Don't do this? What type of request is that? These students are in a PUBLIC space and expect PRIVACY?

I should be saying to you:

Don't do this. Use common sense.

It's what happens when politicians, especially presidents, are reduced to promising single groups of people that they'll have free stuff and revenge against others, if you'll just vote for them.

Also "come to our school" for your freebies and revenge. That's how schools got this way.

This little transaction assumes that laws, rules, policy, the constitution, decency, dignity, fairness.....won't apply when you get your payback. Those things just get in the way of the new social compact.

lol, she thinks that "special people" should have special license to tell others to GTFO out of public, open, shared, tax-payer-funded places.

She really believes this.

Just not "special people" that disagree with her. Not them, of course.

LOL...They're ALL 'special' little darlings, dontchaknow? They've been told so all their lives; Everyone gets a trophy

Those brats are clueless about the real world, and their racist hypocrisy will make their lives very difficult once they are no longer surrounded by appeasing self hating white liberal idiots. ~$heopleNation

Its the overt histrionic behavior.

I've worked in mental health in my life...and have an aversion to borderline personality traits. HIstrionic behavior is a borderline trait. most kids have this trait, so they get a pass.

But the professors and faculty that are participating?

I also wanted to mention that I think that faculty member Mellissa Click is part of the problem, the unstable nutcase probably needs to be thrown inside a mental asylum.

These are the types of idiots who are teaching these kids, its no wonder they are so screwed up and irrational. ~$heopleNation

I wonder how those liberal "allies" feel now that they are excluded? Try as they might, they can fight against racism all they want but it will always exist. It's an innate human trait.

Same thing with the LGBT experience. When you cannot figure out if you're boy or girl, which one you want to play with (or how many), and/or you claim that you need to change it on a daily basis......the absolute definition of mental illness.

One can't "identify" as a dog one day, a pencil the next, lettuce the next, without being taken to a doctor. So why is every possible sexual confusion "not illness" ?

Well, because just like these people at these schools, they screamed and threatened the AMA and psychology / psychiatry associations until it got revised to "not an illness". This has really helped society. Now men and women can hang out in boys' and girls' bathrooms and showers, all combinations, to change daily on a whim.

Can't wait until NAMBLA uses this as a precedence to "identify as a child" for bathrooms and showers.

It's in Marx, Alinsky, Cloward-Piven.......gain control of the schools, language, media, etc.

Schools have been compromised about 95 %. Common Core would be the coup-de-grace.

Biting the hand that feeds you, some day they may really need support from their white associates, but they won't be there.

The University of Missouri student who filmed assistant professor Melissa Click call for "muscle" to eject him from a protest site on campus says he has filed a complaint with police alleging simple assault.

Mark Schierbecker said that he filed the complaint with campus police late Wednesday and was waiting to hear if they would press charges against Click, an assistant professor in the university's Department of Communication. A police department spokesman, Major Brian Weimar, confirmed the complaint had been filed.

www.usatoday.com...

Administrators announced on Wednesday that they had put a staff member, Greek Life director Janna Basler, on administrative leave while they investigate her actions at the protest. Basler was seen screaming and having physical contact with Tai in Schierbecker's video.

Texan, you know as well as I do that we don't diagnose personality disorders based on one of the symptoms manifesting itself.

That said, I've said for years that we're raising generations of Borderlines.

That said, I've said my piece elsewhere about the events at the tent-city with the student journalists: there is no excuse for anyone's behavior, staff, student, adult, young adult. In my opinion.

You're pointing to going overboard in one direction, I'm usually pointing to the folks going overboard in the other.

Perhaps we agree; going overboard in any direction is not solving any problems.

I've noted that I thought this separation was an ill-considered action; but let's not exaggerate.

Exaggeration isn't helping any aspect of the situation.
