The protesters are irrational, selfish, demanding and extremely hypocritical. They have zero concern for non-blacks. The guy who went on a hunger strike to protest white privilege is the son of a millionaire. Poor guy had to grow up in a wealthy home, unlike the majority of us.
They are following an agenda put in place by BLM and maybe a few wealthy backers and politicians. They can't give any examples of the racism they claim is a problem on the campus and expect us to take their word for it. Hard to do considering it shouldn't be difficult at all to make a case if there was any wrong doing.
Never mind that they are carrying signs saying, "Too late to say sorry", which instantly shuts down any hope of talking it out, they are downright hostile to anyone who doesn't follow their narrative. That, in and of itself, violates the "safe space" for others who have to deal with them on a daily basis.
They have no interest in acting in a civilized manner to improve whatever they think is wrong. It sounds like a lot of people jumping on a bandwagon and they aren't even sure of what the goal is, but are merely repeating the talking points and getting angry when people don't chant along with them. They are merely parroting the BLM crap and yelling about black people needing safe spaces, but the non-blacks can all go to hell. None of them care if a non-black is harmed since only Black Lives Matter. Just what is the endgame here since they don't want apologies or a compromise? Free school? All the whities gone? Revenge?
The tone is extremely divisive. It tells me that is what they want. Racial tensions are worse than ever and the vitriol is coming from leftwing kooks. And they are having a fit that some want to amend the Civil Rights Act to include the LGBT crowd. They say that belongs to them and no one else. How horribly selfish to say that only they matter and they are against rights for other people.
The colleges shouldn't cater to them since it's impossible to take them seriously. When they have a legitimate gripe that they can articulate clearly, along with a proposed solution, then they should be heard.
"Students at a "safe space" at Claremont McKenna College in California shut down an Asian woman who was describing racial harassment by a black man, booing her when she declared, "black people can be racist."
Proving, of course, the inherent racism behind their protest.
"I came to this country five years ago when I was fifteen, alone, through a boarding school in Pennsylvania," the Asian student began. "And all I heard is, ‘if you don’t speak English, go home.’ ‘If you don’t speak good English, go home.’ ‘I don’t date Asians,’ and ‘I’d like to have sex with a girl from all the continents that’s why I want to date you.’"
She then recounted a time when she and a group of friends were walking down the street, and a black man pulled over and shouted, "go back to your home!" She said a "white lady" stopped to ask if the young women needed police assistance.
"The point I’m making here is that we should not distinguish people by their race or gender or anything. Black people can be racist," she declared, at which point a black woman holding a sign that reads "It’s too late to say sorry" approached her.
"Oh no honey," someone in the crowd said over a chorus of boos.
A few "safe space" participants told their peers to let the young woman talk. "Let her finish," someone suggested.
"I just mean we have to look at people individually," the Asian woman said, telling her fellow classmates they should "look at the heart. The action, not the race."
As other members approached the woman and grabbed for the microphone, someone in the crowd asked, "how is this relevant to the college failing to provide a space for people of color?""

"Mike Middleton, the man just named as the interim president of the University of Missouri, worked as a political activist with the protestors who forced out his predecessor.
As NBC reports:
"The University of Missouri’s governing board on Thursday appointed a recently retired administrator to be the university system’s interim president.
The Board of Curators announced that Michael Middleton, 68, will lead the four-campus system until it finds a permanent replacement for Tim Wolfe, who resigned Monday under pressure from students who criticized his administration’s response to a series of racial incidents."
Middleton retired in August after teaching at the law school for 17 years. But he subsequently worked with the black protestors who created racial tensions by staging a series of direct actions designed to antagonize other students.
Milligan is featured prominently in a video released three weeks ago called "Response To Skeptics," which was produced by a video team at the university’s Academic Support Center.
The video opens with Jonathan Butler — the lead activist — leveling political charge at people who don’t accept the black activists’ claim of "racial problems" at the campus, which is located only 120 miles from Ferguson, where the current protests and political campaign began in August 2014."
