Why are black people protesting?

I keep reading in the news that black college kids are protesting all over the country but I can't for the life of me find out why. I've read something about a shit swastika and a football team, but not an actual reason for the mass protests. News stories always just say it's about racism or something vague like that, but not what set all the whole thing off.

What the fuck is going on? Someone mind shedding some light on the whole situation?

lol. So the whole thing is actually over the shit swastika? That sounds like an overreaction.

I used my Batman-like detective tools to analyze the contents of that poop and found that it's approximately 99% KFC and watermelon byproduct with traces of koolaid and malt liquor. Conclusion: hoax poop swastika made by an African Studies major who wanted to get out of a midterm in a class he's failing.

This is one of my rare non-shitthreads btw. I seriously have no idea what's going on with this.

It's a lot smaller than I though. Like, I thought at least 4 or 5 feet in diameter.

Anyways, it's actually about systematic and institutionalized racism. Clearly, no one should ever create shit in a way where they aren't being watched by an equality officer or something.

That swastika is an atrocity. Not for being a swastika or literally a piece of shit, but it's going in the wrong direction. Hitler would be so pissed he'd add dyslexics to his "to-do" list.

The inverted swastika is a symbol of peace
Therefore it is a peace of shit

To answer OP's question, Missouri is a shit godforsaken state that brought us the St. Louis Cardinals and @Roger Rabbit . There are people driving around campus waving confederate flags and threatening black students there. There's seriously no way you can defend this sort of behavior.

Asking "Why are black people protesting?" is like "Why are birds chirping?" or "Why are rednecks inbreeding?"
It doesn't really matter any more, it just happens, and there's no way to stop it from happening.

Because it's easier to protest how the world is fucked up than trying to do something to improve it.

This applies to other types of people besides blacks.

I hear nuttier blacktivists are also stirring shit as well. The whole thing sounds like a massive clusterfuck with people on all sides deliberately trying to cause chaos.

It’s a typical SJW plan of attack. Disagreement is harassment, criticism is hate speech to intimidate them into silence, and failure to agree hard enough or accede to any and all demands makes you a tacit racist/rape apologist/soggy knees.

Any incident of racism is because the upper administration isn’t doing enough. It’s Green Lantern politics all over again; the assumption of insufficient political will at the uppermost levels to make reality conform with your desires. It seems to me what they want is a totalitarian state where wrongthink can be legally censored.

The difference is this time, it's happening in ultra-liberal universities, and is being enabled by white college students. U.Missouri's new interim president is black, and apparently a believer. We'll see what happens when this doesn't magically end racism.

I honestly have no idea what's going on either. All I know is that they got the president of some college to quit.

I've written my name in the snow with my pee before, but pooping a swastika is like a platinum-level achievement unlocked.

Aaand now they're trying to take away attention from the current Paris terrorist attacks

Dumbasses make a swastika out of poop on the wall of a college building. Black students cry racism, SJWs crawl out to show how awesomely progressive they are. College admins are accused of not doing enough to stop racism on campus, and therefore they are complacent in allowing shit like this to happen. Campus presidents wet themselves in terror and immediately resign. New black interim president is brought in, ending racism forever and creating a new liberal utopia on campus. SJWs do SJW things, everyone else rolls their eyes.

Sometimes protesting is a way of doing something.

Sometimes protesting is a way of doing something.

As I said in the Paris thread, the proper way to handle a shit swastika drawn on a bathroom wall is to call the janitor so they can bring some proper clean supplies and take care of it.

What's a protest gonna do? Is it to shame and humiliate the person responsible? Moherfucker drew a swastika with their own feces, they have no shame and humiliated themselves about about as much as possible already.
