Black student protesters at the University of Missouri told the white supporters to leave in order to create a “black only healing space.” How’s that for gratitude.
The Blaze Reports:
Student protesters at the University of Missouri asked white supporters to leave Wednesday night in order to create a “black only healing space.”
Steve Schmidt, an activist who was at the protest, tweeted that Concerned Student 1950 group were “asking white allies to leave.”
Prominent Black Lives Matter activist Johnetta Elzie seemingly confirmed those with ‘Caucasian skin’ were asked to leave the area, tweeting that the group had created a “black only healing space for the students to share, decompress, be vulnerable & real.”
KOMU-TV reporter Jared Koller tweeted that white individuals were in another group upstairs.
Mark Kim, another reporter for KOMU who was at the scene, told TheBlaze that he spoke with some people around the area and confirmed white individuals had formed a separate group upstairs.
“White allies are upstairs in their own breakout group,” he said in a tweet.
The news comes after the Concerned Student 1950 group had blasted the “white media” earlier this week for not “respecting black spaces.”

They needed time to express their feelings, and white kids don’t speak Ebonics. Just keeping it real.
So that’s how you fight racism & discrimination? With more racism & discrimination? That makes a lot of sense geniuses.
If a group of white kids did this, it would be front page news with the whole country calling them racist while labeling this a clan meeting. The Reverend Jessie Jackson would be front and center calling for their heads. Black Lives matters is taking this country in the direction that MLK fought so hard for and gave his life to move away from.
I’m white and I totally support those people wanting their own space. It’s necessary. If you don’t understand why it’s necessary, then maybe you should try to do some reading and expand your horizons a little.
“that the group had created a “black only healing space for the students to share, decompress, be vulnerable & real.”
Oh Please. Does anything happen on campuses anymore that doesn’t involve a festival of pretentious naval-gazing.
