Video: College Race Activists Derail Vigil for Orlando Victims, Hate on White People

'I thought I’d take a moment to list out some facts that many of you probably don’t know because you’re white.'

ActivistsActivists 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.

She begun by making several contemptible statements.

"I was really nervous to get up here because there's a lot of white people in the crowd," she said. "And that wasn't a joke. I wish this many people came out to our racial demonstrations, and our Black Lives Matter movement."

If the masses aren't racing to participate in Melecio's demonstrations, perhaps it's because she places people in race-based categories and then makes sweeping generalizations about them. Perhaps she also lacks perspective. Whining that people have an easier time expressing sympathy with the victims of a mass terror attack than they do expressing sympathy with whatever agenda Melecio is pushing is not a great way to make converts.

If you think I'm judging Melecio too harshly, read the rest of her comments:

I don't want to stand up here and be angry, because this isn't for me, this isn't for you, it's for the people we've lost. But I thought I'd take a moment to list out some facts that many of you probably don't know because you're white. I'm tired of the black and white dichotomy that happens every time we talk about race or anything in the country. We never take time to consider the shades in between, like mine. It's awesome that there are so many people here today, but it's like, who are you really here for?"

Only a truly deluded person could shame white people for their ignorance in one breath and then lament the unproductive nature of conversations about race in the next.

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.

well,their Enablers in Congress did the same a couple of days ago!

Nothing is sacred

It is just, so damn disrespectful!

" Don't think about that, think about this "

WTH!? Were there too many white people, standing together to remember the DEAD AMERICANS & they suddenly got SCARED or overcome with JEALOUSY, instead of grief ?

Rant over

This is what BLM is all about. They are so self absorbed its insane. They are honestly brainwashing each other into being afraid of random white people. They are getting to be as bad as the worst of the white supremacists of generations past.

BLM will lie about a police shooting, and expect people to 'support' them; and then they get upset when not as many people show up to their rally as show up for an *actual* act of violence against a community?

'associated with'


the blm founders are not named melecia


the shooting happened on Latina night and melecia is a Latina

why not say Latinas tried to disrupt the vigil?

one person from the community being celebrated at that club that night,, spoke on how it affected her personally

distasteful or not,, its tasteless to make it blm to blame just as much as it is to make this disturbed shooters actions the blame of islam

#BLMlosers

Trash,paid by Billionaire-Trash with an Agenda!

And the pawns
are referred to as SJW's

this is one thing SHE is about

she has fear of white people

the worst of white supremancists hung people,, haven't heard anyone doing that in this decade or last,,lol

people will lie about anything, and expect support and get upset when things don't turn out their way


how does this one person become a condemnation of a whole movement?



many don't see that Hispanics have done better organizing in the past few decades while African americans have believed they already 'arrived' and had no more need to,,,

a BLM gets owned by children...lol (and his own stupidity)

Latinas are not a political movement. Latinas do not, as a whole, actively seek to indoctrinate each other into a rigid shared belief system.

The BLM movement does.



Many of us know from experience, in some cases very extensive personal experience, that she does in fact represent the views of the BLM movement. National level leaders understand the need for duplicity and diplomacy, but the local leaders of BLM speak more freely, and they are every bit as crazy and awful as this BLM activist.



Actually, this disturbed shooters worldview was influenced by core islamic beliefs. I get that you *can* think to yourself that you are Islamic and be against the shooting of gay people, and you can think to yourself that you support BLM and be against what this women said. And its crazy to *directly blame* other islamic people for his actions, or *directly blame* other BLM supporters for her words - but in both cases we also must acknowledge the relationship.

If BLM people don't want their movement to be increasingly disdained, they need to get out there and disavow this crap. Sadly, their movement is largely built on this crap and has been since the earliest days of their lying about trayvon martin.

Yes, she and many, many other BLM activists. Its a common meme among the BLM movement.



Yes, because she is part of a cult built on lies. I've met many such people personally. One of them told me that she specifically started become afraid of all white people when the trayvon martin verdict was issued. (Nevermind that the shooter is hispanic). Her cult leaders told her that the trayvon verdict proved that white people can murder POC with abandon, and never face consequences; and so they bizarrely act like they are now in immediately physical danger.

This is 2016. She honestly believed this nonsense. And *this* is why she started become afraid of all white people (her own words). The *majority* of people I know who support BLM (which is a lot of people) either share or are sympathetic to this view.



Yes, if you look at the statistics, POC really have no reason to fear for their physical safety among white people in 2016.

I didn't mean to say that the actions of black supremacists like the BLM are as bad as the actions of white supremacists, I'm saying the ideology and rhetoric is as bad. Changes in behavior usually follow changes in ideology.



For me, this one person's actions do not condemn the whole movement.

Nor did the dozen people's actions at that library where black students screamed at white students, who were trying to study. Nor did the actions of Melissa Click and her supporters. Nor did the actions of the two jack-***** who stormed the stage at De Paul. Nor the did actions of any individual students who formed a human wall and forced reporters out of the public area. Nor the individual actions of trigglypuff. Nor the individual actions of the 20-30 students who blocked the entrance to a Milo speech recently. Nor the individual comments of hundreds of individuals I've seen on twitter and on disqus and such.

But when you take all of this together, and you listen to and read the BLM rhetoric, and have lengthy conversations with the people who believe this crap and ask them *why* they believe it....the larger pattern becomes pretty clear.

That's an amazing video.

I'm sure what most people here 'know' about blm would fit on the tip of a needle

only the sensational stories they love to repeat to discredit everyone in the movement

so if we must 'acknowledgee' the relationship, why are so many of the same people hell bent on making these things about islam,,,so offended when we make shootings about guns or gun owners or 'American right to bear arms' beliefs
?

its a shame people on both sides believe rhetoric instead of actually taking time to investigate, and research

black lives matter movement is not about endangerment by whites , but endangerment, dehumanization, and exploitation by the SYSTEM,,,

Still in the pattern Jealousy.

Mizzou protesters, Black Lives Matter complain Paris attacks stole their headlines.

Activists who have taken over U.S. college campuses last week protesting racial injustice took to Twitter to complain that news coverage of the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris had stolen their spotlight.

Black Lives Matter and Mizzou protesters on Twitter said their struggles with racial oppression were being “erased” by the overwhelming news coverage of the killings of 129 people at the hands of Islamic State extremists.
