Missouri Name calling is now Terrorism?
Permalink  
 

As hundreds were being gunned down in Paris on Friday, sympathizers with the University of Missouri race protesters expressed outrage online that the media had turned its attention to the terrorist attacks. 

For much of last week, demonstrations at Missouri dominated the headlines, as a student group forced the president to resign over a string of racist incidents. 

Things took a turn Friday afternoon when news broke of a series of coordinated terrorist attacks in Paris, with nearly nearly 129 innocent victims dead and more than 400 injured.

When still little was known about the terrorist attacks, Missouri sympathizers took to Twitter to condemn the media's coverage of Paris as a means to sweep under the rug the issues in Missouri.

'It's black kids trapped in their rooms in #Mizzou but ya'll talking bout #PrayForParis ... f*** Paris. #PrayFor Mizzou,' one user said in a since-deleted tweet. 

As several right-wing media outlets started covering the insensitive tweets, many started deleted the offense comments or setting their accounts to private. 

Others proudly defended their tweets and compared the racist incidents that sparked the protests at Missouri as terrorism as well. 

'Notice how white people easily empathize w/victims of international terrorism while denying the domestic terrorism inflicted upon us,' Twitter user @SankofaBrown wrote. 

The University of Missouri protesters, who call themselves Concerned Student 1950, started calling for the resignation of President Tim Wolfe earlier this fall, after a string of incidents. The first came when a student body president, who is black, said a truck full of white people near campus yelled racial slurs at him. 

Later, a swastika was found drawn in feces in a dormitory bathroom. Students were also upset about the way Wolfe refused to address racial issues on campus when they brought the Homecoming parade to a standstill and confronted him.

Idiots. Every one of them.

And these are the ones voting and moving into positions to run this country.

Ridiculous.

These idiots in their college classes crying discrimination.

They don't know discrimination.

Bunch of brats.

Someone called someone the N word.  And someone had a Confederate Flag on their truck.  They think that is terrorism...no

Well, I think lying to get people to resign and slandering their name when they have done nothing wrong is a helluva lot worse than 1 person calling you the "n" word. And it makes you worse than what you were called.

This movement too will end, just like the "Occupiers" ended. Once they lose media attention they will just go away.
