Admit to his white privilege? They can go to Hell. I would be willing to sit down with the group and talk about any grievances they have, but screw the SJW pablum.

Shocking there is racial tension in the North. I have always been told things were ship shape up there opposed to the backward South...

I'm pretty sure this qualifies you as the dumbest motherfricker in this thread.

From your link, 60 of 124 (48.39%) of the team are black.
If they cancel the BYU game they will need to announce it before BYU leaves and incurs further costs. Not sure what the cut off date would be, but guessing it may be just a few days away.
Too bad LSU is not off this week and could pick up the BYU game for the one they lost earlier in the season.

So the school that openly embraced a black gay football player isn't doing enough to help black students?
If the school was treating minorities different than white kids I would fully support them but nothing they have alleged involves the school. The alleged incidents were investigated. I'm sure every school has racists from every race attending their schools.

Firstly, there are ways to protest while still honoring the scholarship papers you signed.
Secondly, the list of demands are absurd. There is maybe part of one (in regards to increasing mental health services) I could totally get behind, but most are pushing an agenda that is eerily similar to the one they're protesting against.
quote:
I. We demand that the University of Missouri System President, Tim Wolfe, writes a handwritten apology to the Concerned Student 1-9-5-0 demonstrators and holds a press conference in the Mizzou Student Center reading the letter. In the letter and at the press conference, Tim Wolfe must acknowledge his white male privilege, recognize that systems of oppression exist, and provide a verbal commitment to fulfilling Concerned Student 1-9-5-0 demands. We want Tim Wolfe to admit to his gross negligence, allowing his driver to hit one of the demonstrators, consenting to the physical violence of bystanders, and lastly refusing to intervene when Columbia Police Department used excessive force with demonstrators.
II. We demand the immediate removal of Tim Wolfe as UM system president. After his removal a new amendment to UM system policies must be established to have all future UM system president and Chancellor positions be selected by a collective of students, staff, and faculty of diverse backgrounds.
III. We demand that the University of Missouri meets the Legion of Black Collegians' demands that were presented in 1969 for the betterment of the black community.
IV. We demand that the University of Missouri creates and enforces comprehensive racial awareness and inclusion curriculum throughout all campus departments and units, mandatory for all students, faculty, staff, and administration. This curriculum must be vetted, maintained, and overseen by a board comprised of students, staff, and faculty of color.
V. We demand that by the academic year 2017-2018, the University of Missouri increases the percentage of black faculty and staff campus-wide to 10%.
VI. We demand that the University of Missouri composes a strategic 10 year plan by May 1, 2016 that will increase retention rates for marginalized students, sustain diversity curriculum and training, and promote a more safe and inclusive campus.
VII. We demand that the University of Missouri increases funding and resources for the University of Missouri Counseling Center for the purpose of hiring additional mental health professionals — particularly those of color, boosting mental health outreach and programming across campus, increasing campus-wide awareness and visibility of the counseling center, and reducing lengthy wait times for prospective clients.
VIII. We demand that the University of Missouri increases funding, resources, and personnel for the social justices centers on campus for the purpose of hiring additional professionals, particularly those of color, boosting outreach and programming across campus, and increasing campus-wide awareness and visibility.
Want to be taken seriously? Come up with something that isn't a bunch of racist bullshite in it's own right.

Also, why should this happen:
When Mizzou's African-American student population on campus is less than 10%. And that's not discussing the general racial makeup of students coming out of college to teach on the collegiate level. We ran into a similar issue when they talked about increasing the African-American percentage of teachers in our school district and they quickly found that there just weren't enough coming out of college to teach to compensate for their demand.

"I was scared there was a chance of offending several people....."
Later on
"I don't mind getting called a racist because give no fricks what others think....."
If you give no fricks you would have stood up and voiced your opinion. You abstained because of the fear of being labeled a racist. You, like most others, failed to take a stand against the insanity. Yes, you are a failure to me.

That list reminds me of the scene in Die Hard where Hans is listing his demands and he doesn't know what half of them are
