CU-Boulder Anti-Racism Rally Canceled Because Organizers Are White

Apparently this happened last week. I still find it hilarious...
CU-Boulder racism protest canceled after African-American students object
A Friday rally planned at the University of Colorado to protest racism and show support for the University of Missouri, where demonstrations led to the resignation of campus leaders this week, was canceled after the event drew complaints from African-American students on campus.
The rally, organized by a CU sociology class on racial inequality called "Whiteness Studies," was set for 3:30 p.m. Friday outside the student center.
But when event details went public, leaders of CU's Black Student Alliance said they had not been consulted and felt as if they were being silenced by the class.
"It's not anyone that's being affected telling the story, it's only white people telling the story," said Paris Ferribee, co-president of CU's Black Student Alliance.
She said the group organizing the rally stifled the voices of African-Americans and other marginalized students at CU by shutting them out of the conversation.
"That's a slap in the face and that's practicing racism, whether they want to believe it or not," Ferribee said. "They used their white privilege and oppressed voices and stifled voices that are experiencing this every day."

On behalf of the Whiteness Studies class, we apologize to the Black student organizations and Black students on the CU campus. We realize that we acted impulsively and should have consulted with BSA, not taking into account their previous efforts. We acknowledge that we should have contacted BSA to see what they were already planning WITH regard to Mizzou. While we understand that this does not excuse our actions, we learned a lesson in proper allyship. We still hope to work with BSA to support YOUR efforts AND to stand in solidarity with Black students. We intend to follow BSA’s lead, and we have cancelled the rally that we planned for tomorrow. At this time, we intend to leave the event page up as a public forum to draw attention to issues of racism on this campus. This space was not intended to invoke racist comments, however these comments show exactly why we do need to address racism on this campus. If anyone would like this page to be taken down, please contact me. Once again, we sincerely apologize for any offense we have caused, and take full responsibility for our actions.

It's like someone is writing a comedy script and everything is perfectly on the nose.

Protesters protested a protest of a cause which they support?

So it is racist for whites to protest racism?

It's racist for white people to breath the black man's air at this point.
I want these colleges to hire Ben Shapiro to go to each and every one of these colleges and just school everyone on the damage they are actually doing.

White people need to show some backbone and continue on with it despite what the BLM terrorists say. Racism errr alleged racism isn't reserved only for blacks.
All universities need to start from scratch for allowing this shite to continue.
wtf

It's official. Protesting racism has now become racist.

Agreed. As a white dude I can be honest and say that they are morons and certainly don't speak for me.

I guess it never occurred to the racist POS at the Black Student Alliance to simply say, "Hey you guys are getting an anti-racism protest together? AWESOME!!! Can we join you?"
Nope, instead, the Black Student Alliance had to "keep it real" and show everyone who the real racists are.

It's not the cause they are really interested in.....it's the recognition they are after IMO.

You are right....The Black Student Alliance is showing us who the real racists are.
