Yes. The entire Ferguson shooting and the events that led up to it. The city burned over a false narrative. FBI crimes statistics prove that whites are shot at a greater percentage than blacks. Every time that fact, and the fact that black on black crime is rampant, is swept aside because it doesn't feed the BLM narrative.
The Black Lives Matter movement is ridiculous because it originated and continues to thrive on many false narratives that have been soundly refuted.
It shouts down people, chastises and boos anyone who suggest that all lives matter. It walks through the streets chanting for the death of police officers.
Anyone who calls for the death of police officers is a hateful person.
O'Reilly even labeled BLM as a hate group.

Now there is an article of a black instructor claiming that she's been racially targeted. It's hard to believe some of these people because there's been so many instances of lying .
She claims a guy stopped his truck with a confederate flag on it and called her the N word and she dared him to get out of the vehicle and he sped off.
Ok. Fine. But we just saw an instance in the past week where claims of racial bias were made and fortunately there was video that showed she lied.
Oh yeah....it was a college professor too.
Yes. Lots of cases of lying about racism. Even falsely turning legitimate shootings by police in to racism.
Are there some actual incidents of racism? Absolutely. But there are so many fabricated it is hard to trust
Pretty much hit the nail on the head with this comment. If a story or video has anything at all to do with racism you can guarantee the victim will be African American and the perp will be white. In our butt-hurt, PC society, everyone now thinks they are "standing up" against the terrible white people. Simply ridiculous they are asking for the president to step down. Get real. I say let them not play football ... Yank the schollies and send them on their way. As someone mentioned above ... would they be doing this if they were 9-0? So, so tired of EVERYTHING being about race. Just live your life ... like all of us are trying to do ...
Any campus from a rural state, where you got kids from small towns who have never met a black person in there life, is going to have isolated incidents from jackass rednecks. It is the 'boys will be boys' attitude the administration has taken that allows these acts to be tolerated and repeated. I have a buddy that went to Mizzu. He says it was racist when he was there in the late 90's. Especially the greek system.
I think it will take actual video proof of this, everyone should just wear body cameras now so its no longer "here-say". Maybe Bernie will make body camera's free too?
Same can be said for "inner city kids" never seeing a country kid, I am sure remarks are made. What I don't get is they call each other all kinds of racist remarks, but when someone else does it it is racist... If you don't like the word (s) stop saying them yourself.

I was there, dude!
(Albeit, I was less than a year old. Can't recall too much about it.)
As others have suggested, it doesn't really matter what the coaching staff or athletic department actually think about the situation. If a coach or athletic director fails to publicly support the black players, their career is finished.
But they're not undefeated, and they're not feeling supported, and they're standing up for a cause they believe in.
So when a black student can't walk across campus without feeling threatened or shamed, he's either making it up or just needs to deal with it. But when the president is expected to do something about the rampant, overt racism on campus it's "bullying." That is the most twisted logic I've ever heard.
The social justice warriors collected their scalp. This illustrates everything wrong with universities today. They're full of babies expecting to be pandered to.
What was the president supposed to do in this instance? Quite frankly I wouldn't be surprised if the feces swastika was created by one of the protesters. That often seems to be the case in these situations.
He can't. But he also can't just choose to ignore the problem. And now it appears he's lost his job because of it.
A problem based on hearsay and anecdotal evidence. In normal society we criminalize individual actions. On college campuses we criminalize society.
I'm not justifying his resignation. But the fact is the black population of the school felt there was a problem, took it to the administration, and they did nothing about it. And having been to Missouri, I can say yes, there is a big problem with racism. But I know you won't believe me because it's anecdotal.
You've been to Missouri. Now you're the resident expert on race relations there. I would imagine everyone on this forum has been in Missouri. That's all really irrelevant. You can only identify what is tangible and deal with individuals. This is more of the BLM crap where they what to criminalize society rather than actual individual perpetrators. For your sake, I hope your employer doesn't hold you to the same standard of perception.
If I ever did anything that could be perceived as racist or condoning of racism, I would expect to be held to that standard.
So now you're going to make straw man arguments? Sure racism exists. Does that mean the job of an administrator is to castigate the entire student body based on anecdotal evidence? We wouldn't expect that in law enforcement but the protesters expect policy change or discipline administered to groups of people rather than individual perpetrators. It's not only ridiculous, it's impossible.
I'm torn on this. racism sucks, but it's real. but people have a right to be racist. and a public school can't kick a person out just for being a racist.
Basically you are free to be racist, but keep it yourself, asshole
Basically you are free to be racist, but keep it yourself, asshole
I'm fine kicking racists out when they are identified such as those frat guys caught on the bus singing the racist tune and as happened to one individual at Missouri. The expectation to castigate the student body and/or greater society for the alleged actions of a few is the problem here.
Obviously, by "the events that led up to it" you mean only the day of the Brown shooting. You do understand that the DOJ released 2 investigative reports, one exonerating Wilson, criminally, and one excoriating Ferguson for decades of racist policing and policies.
Speaking of false narratives, the racist narrative that Ferguson protests were all without cause is a good one.
The same DOJ that refused to prosecute black panthers standing with clubs at Philadelphia polling places. The same DOJ in which Eric Holder called Americans cowards on race. Yeah, I believe he takes an objective look at reality. His criticisms of the Ferguson police department primarily had to do with arrest quotas. You don't honestly believe that sparked the protest? That would be asinine. I shouldn't even call them protests. They were convenient riots and looting opportunities in which many of the participants came from Greater St. Louis. What happened there is no different than what happened in Baltimore. The fact that most rioters came from outside Ferguson just proves your claim that this was decades in the making is pure BS. This was opportunistic.

agreed. but in examples like that they have gone beyond just being racist and have created a hostile environment that affects others.
however, people need to understand that there is no constitutional right to be liked by everyone.
An alleged hostile environment. They pointed to examples like a swastika being drawn on campus grounds.
When you claim "they have gone above and beyond", who exactly are they? That's the problem neither you or the President know. This was a no win situation for the President. He either castigates the entire white student body or he faces backlash from several protesters over allegations that may or may not even have merit.
I see IACub and others like to argue that he should have done something but when asked what specifically he could have done that would have been tangible and brought perpetrators to justice, you come up blank.
LOL @ the idea of addressing displays of racism and systemic oppression as "castigating the entire white student body."
Those poor whites, what will they do without being able to yell the N-word and smear feces into hate symbols??
In real life you can't brush all your problems under the rug. You don't have to castigate the whole white population, that's a BS argument and you know it. But to ignore that racism exists at Mizzou isn't an option when you're the president, especially after you get called out on it. You're the leader of a public university, and you have to at least make the attempt to make the place a secure and comfortable learning environment for every student.
Sure and we know absolutely for certain that it was a white racist on campus that made the swastika. Those race hoaxes never happen.
"When threatening notes that targeted minority students started showing up around the Trinity International University campus in 2005, administrators spoke to the campus and conferred with police before ultimately evacuating all students of color from their residence halls. The Federal Bureau of Investigation came in to look into the apparent hate crime, and arrested a suspect in less than a week.
The whole thing was fake.
Things didn’t go quite that far this year at Central Connecticut State University, after a student claimed to be receiving notes in her dormitory room that attacked her for being a lesbian. But hundreds of students did hold a rally for her in March, long before police discovered earlier this month (thanks to a camera in a hall closet, which was installed after the one initially placed in her room was turned off) that she was slipping the notes under her own door."
