College Race Activists Derail Vigil for Orlando Victims, Hate on White People
15th June 2016
Read it. And watch the video.
Activists associated with the Black Lives Matter movement at the University of Missouri spoke at a vigil for victims of the Orlando Pulse Shooting, refocusing the event onto their own personal grievances.
Many people, including a gay couple, were offended by student-activist Tiffany Melecio’s remarks, which explicitly condemned white people. Melecio also expressed frustration that more people would show up for a vigil for LGBT victims than a Black Lives Matter event. Video footage is available below, courtesy of The College Fix.
It is, after all, All About Them.
Millenial Narcissism + Racial Special Snowflake = Black Lives Matter
Melecio’s truly offensive comments—and I don’t say that lightly, but they were—provoked the ire of some members of the crowd. Carl and Daniel Brizendine later told The College Fix, “Right here on this stage, they are segregating us as a community. They are making it a racial issue.”
The police questioned the Brizendines for interrupting Melecio, but took no further action. The vigil happened on Monday.
Melecio was flanked by two other activists—one of whom is a Mizzou administrator and coordinator of the campus’s multicultural center.
God help you if you aren’t one of the Official Victim Groups.
