Yesterday, I wrote about the Black Lives Matter demonstration at the Dartmouth library where protesters harrassed and threatened students. “Fuck you and your comfort!”

Instead, Inge-Lise Ameer apologized to the gathering – which had been organized by Latino student groups for an entirely separate issue, the Dartmouth Review reported – and she reiterated the administration’s support for the feelings and demands of the Black Lives Matter protesters and those who support them. Not content to merely demonstrate there for the night, the band descended from their high-water mark to march into Baker-Berry Library. Students who were seated were told to, “Stand the f*** up!”
“Fuck you, you filthy white fucks!”
The black-clad protesters also harassed students who wore “gangster hats”, and Beats headphones, calling them “symbols of oppression”.
Two students reported that demonstrators entered their private study rooms and blocked the doorway, while others said that demonstrators singled out a few students by name and circled around others’ desks while chanting.
She went on to say, “The reaction to the protest in the library … just displays our society very clearly right now”. One of the protesters can be seen flipping off the cameraman. “The long list of their clear oversteps should spark a moment of reckoning for every honest onlooker, and especially those who have sympathized with their movement to this point”.
One of the protestors involved later published an online essay about the incident. Ameer replied that she wasn’t going to say that.
Here’s video of Ameer speaking at the meeting.
I, for one, don’t think shouting racial profanity to a guy studying for his midterm exam is “very nice” either.
After at least 129 people were killed by ISIS in coordinated attacks on Friday, several student protesters at Missouri took to Twitter to express anger at “losing the spotlight” in the media.

“These allegations of physical assault are lies to make white students look like the victims and students of color to look like the perpetrators”, Abera said, according to The Dartmouth in a later report. There isn’t even an incident report. When you find a black person who is ever treated like this, call 9-1-1 immediately.
