COLUMBIA — The University of Missouri’s Black student government organization announced Wednesday that the university canceled its welcome event, named the “Black 2 Class Block Party,” over the word “Black” in the name.
The Legion of Black Collegians said in a Wednesday Instagram post that MU told the organization on Monday the event was canceled. The event was set to happen Friday.
MU replied to the post with a statement from UM System President Mun Choi that had been emailed to the Legion. In the statement, Choi called the block party’s name exclusionary.

I’m sure there’d be no complaints about a “White here White Now!” Party

Does Mizzou even have black people on campus? I’m sure all 5 of them will be upset.
Edit: Just looked it up. 5.4% of their students are black. So around 1600. Having an event for only 1600 of your students out of 31,000+ is pretty much the definition of exclusivity.

Blame the woke leftists for bringing racism in full force. Them pushing for blacks to have reparations and all of this actually backfired and brought the Orange man back to the White House.
I saw a reality show called Big Brother where a black alliance formed and nobody said it was racist. In the future, that should not be tolerated, or you are expelled. No alliance based on race; that is racism (white or black).
I know really wonderful black people in real life, but it's the ones in the ghetto without a family unit and parenting and surrounded by gang culture who ruin the reputation.
I am a friend to you if you are a good, nice person, regardless of race.

They should let them have the block party; it isn't hurting anyone.

The Left doesn't like discrimination and segregation until they do.

It would be amazing if Mizzou was the first university to stop being Woke when it is the original Woke university in the SEC:

The culture is healing. I am glad that these racists are no longer allowed to get away with this crap.

I agree. I'm cool with it. But what if they had a white block party? Do you honestly believe no left leaners would complain about it?

Good to see sanity is back on campus.

Probably cancelled because someone realized everyone would be at practice during that time.

You may be right. It seems innocent, but perhaps not.

The fatigue is real.
