Concerned that sympathetic, well-meaning white people are diluting the cause, a Ferguson, MO. protest group asked white students not to participate in a recent black-only “die-in” at the University of Missouri.
From The College Fix:
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,” student Ebony Francis told The College Fix in a telephone interview.
More from Sandrarose.com:
I hope Blacks continue to protest and raise awareness of the disproportionate and unfair treatment that seems to be meted out on a consistent basis.
It was requested that others stand in a circle holding hands,”
______________________
um, then that means they actually ARE participating; it’s an organized protest and their part in that protest in to stand & join hands
Okay so what’s the problem
V you leave Em alone nah
Seems like they are still participating… they wanted the people of color to lay on the ground while the others hold hands in unity… they are showing how many slain black people have died…. the people that aren’t of color are showing unity around the people laying down…. what is the problem…. I mean did I miss something here
:eyeroll:
I am glad that Whites are joining the fight against injustice. I hppe they teach their kids how to love people and not base treatment on the color of one’s skin.
Even so, they still have access to privilege, something minorities have been historically and categorically denied.
Im more concerned with folks taking selfies at die-ins than the color of the people.
we <<<>> Jenie! :fistbump:
tried it…
Nothing wrong here either!
@ZoeLove,
I wonder why would people be taking selfies at a time like that? Isn’t the focus supposed to be for the betterment of minorities and paying homage to those who lost their lives due to injustice?
Bird access denied for Iggy
she gets no love from me 
this is contradicting…they are still participating.
I finna watch black-ish…
Side note: Who is going to watch Empire? I don’t like Babywipes Howard but I do
Taraji
Um… Let me go tell my boss i’m leaving early
Im more concerned with folks taking selfies at die-ins than the color of the people.

yo!!!!!!

I was in the bed but they woke me out my sleep with that NO HANDS marching thru Harlem so technically I was up for the cause too

Quiet as it’s kept there has always been some sprites riding in trenches and protesting…. they just don’t show them in the media…. You know they only want to show negative violent looking stuff
even back in the Civil Rights Era their were quite a bit were getting the brakes beat off of them as well…. and a few died… 
I swear America ain’t shyt …. 
it’s some mean folks in this world 
There is this tumblr page that pretty much is all about POC having a voice and a a safe space and the sprite followers got SO mad that they wouldn’t acknowledge them or post their messages about how racism sucked. ITS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU.

User, you don’t get points for this. 
——————–
@MissyJ – I put Empire in my DVR last night, so I don’t miss it! I like Taraji too…hate they killed her off Person of Interest.
@Dr.Donte,
Powerful pic and very appropriate. Good timing.
I’m glad for all the support
but had them been all black protestors, the dogs and hoses would have come out 
But they said you could stay and participate in another fashion soooooooooooo
YEW MAD cause you wanted to get some shine on as one of the representatives of the lives lost? This racist cause you can’t pretend to be an image of a person gone …and you don’t fit the image??? This like somebody doing a biopic of Left Eye and Forest Whitaker show up cause 
and then he get mad when they turn him away. BRUH :stop: you don’t fit the casting call. FALL BYKE. Ya’ll sound hideous.
Missy- I don’t do slickback either, but the show looks good. I love be some Taraji.
I think the request was made so that the protest from whites won’t come off as charity. Charity is last thing we need.

Believe me. They’re ok with us protesting in the street. They’re not threatend by that. What they’re threatened by is when we study rocket science.

HOLLERING!!!!! :ROFL:
On one note its sad that you have to have so many yts join a protest for people to understand that something is an issue but at the same time it brings attention to the movement to show that it is just not a race issue with polic brutality but a civil right violation.

I hate user
Man you can’t represent black dead bodies if you not black
You can represent concerns for non black deaths by surrounding them with your hands clasp and your eyes up!
The visual would be crazy!
How this turned in to reverse racism I have no idea!
But the write-up don’t go with what actually happened. They didn’t say they couldn’t participate, only that they didn’t want them to lie down. Instead they should hold hands to show the support of it…or am I reading it wrong? Where is OTB? Is this one of those cul-de-sac moments?

I think Em had mommy issues you know, the kinda issues that Southern Beaut accused Man of having.
I don’t have a degree. You don’t have to have a degree to have discernment.
Make fun all you like. Another reason we falter to other cultures.
If you don’t understand what I mean by that then I’m not talking to you anyway. Harriet Tubman had to kill some men in order to help the others to freedom.

Good TV something we have been missing for a while
Inter- you talk so much about education. I for sure thought tou would have some sort of advanced degree. No shade. Just asking. I agree that be knowledgeable doesn’t always come from four walls, but your delivery falls on death ears. It sucks and is not well-balanced
Not quiet at all.
Jews go hard in the MF’n paint for our rights.
They KNOW what is like to be hated and to be eradicated because they are different.
They fund, donate and are on the front lines.
Beyond that the Civil war was started cause whites said UM y’all are WRONG!
Those men and women YOU shipped over here are 100% human with functioning brains and brother literally fought and killed brother over the issue.

What’s wrong with that? I
croutons. They’re like the main ingredient in my salads. 
Glad you put salad in my head. I’m going to Chik Fil A for their
chicken sandwishsalad.I applaud this movement. They are making a valid point and that can be missed when you dilute it. Hell officers ain’t killing a black and a white together..they killing US. So yeah show it.
I applaud the sprites and ambiguous peoples for not getting upset

< look at me falling short again. I mean white folks don’t NEVER crack jokes about themselves. Jeff Foxworthy and the Cable guy Larry talk about global warming… And Margaret Cho she don’t talk about Asians 
she talk about Apartheid ….
________________
You right. This why we falling short on sew mannie social issues cause of these little jokes *giggles into hand like young berg* and laughs
Forgive me o great rocket builder
what time we going to see Loddy Doddy and ‘nem people (Bin Laden) since you hang with them
<– croutons
I don’t care about the deaf ears. I care about the ones that are perky.
The protesting and looting is falling to deaf ears.
If my logic is wrong help me understand something better. All Im saying is we have to be more COMPETETIVE. And when I say that you ask for my credentials like I’m trying to attack you, instead of uplifting you and me, us. I have certain skills, you have certain skills, and we need to advance those and discover new ones. I love my people and I will not apologize for my delivery. I’m not a passive guy. I’m passionate and inquisitive.
:stop: JENIE, you pregnant too
I don’t have a degree.
*******************
I :stop: right here.
Southern Girl, All these different academic degrees and different medals and different honors and we’re still talking about racism.
I value education and I admire those with degrees. But the weight of it all isn’t what or where you learned, I think it’s about what you do with what you learn, no matter where or how you gathered your knowledge. Try not to judge me and my idea of education. I’m challenging what Ive learned by asking questions like the ones I asked here in this post. You might have a degree Southern Girl…but unarmed black men And boys are still being shot cold-blooded by trained, relentless Authority Figures….
amen
