This whole Missouri thing is a hoax...lol

This should surprise no one, since it came from the same crowd that gave us "hands up, don't shoot".

I feel the need to point out, Mizzou is 7% black. So, let's say Mizzou has 35,000 students, of those 2,450 would be black. Of that, how many do you think are involved in this protest stuff? Maybe 10%? so 245 students, not even the size of a Greek organization at Mizzou. (For comparison, more than 1,700 girls went through sorority rush in 2013, couldn't find figures for this year in a quick search.)

So please, don't lump all Missourians, or all Mizzou students, into the "same crowd." This turmoil is being fomented by likely less than 1% of Mizzou's student population. They are just vocal and organized. They were probably mostly ignored until it blew up.

Who said I was lumping all Mizzou students into the same crowd? You're not paying attention. One complaint at the top of their list was the fact that Wolfe did not speak out on Ferguson and offer "support" during the Brown shooting and subsequent riots. It's two hours away. Don't be surprised if we learn that some of those in the black student group were protesting in Ferguson and likely still think of Brown as a victim. I have no doubt that this shitstorm at Mizzou was pushed by many of the same ilk.
