Racism at Mizzou

 The issue is the school administration’s handling of several racist incidents that occurred this. A student said he was called racial slurs as he walked near campus. In the same letter, Concerned Student 1950 releases a list of demands, threatening "appropriate nonviolent actions" if they are not met by Oct. 28. Among the demands: President Tim Wolfe's resignation and apology, comprehensive racial awareness and inclusion curriculum," an increase in black faculty and staff to 10% and more. Many speak out that it's not enough. The Legion of Black Collegians and an alliance of students including members of the University football team associated who have launched and pushed the boycott at Missouri published a list of demands they want met. "We demand that the University of Missouri System President, Tim Wolfe, writes a handwritten apology to the Concerned Student 1-­9-­5-0 demonstrators and holds a press conference in the Mizzou Student Center reading the letter. In the letter and at the press conference, Tim Wolfe must acknowledge his white male privilege, recognize that systems of oppression exist, and provide a verbal commitment to fulfilling Concerned Student 1-9-5-­0 demands. We want Tim Wolfe to admit to his gross negligence, allowing his driver to hit one of the demonstrators, consenting to the physical violence of bystanders, and lastly refusing to intervene when Columbia Police Department used excessive force with demonstrators." This whole situation is upsetting because some people are turning their heads and acting like this is the first time that this has happened at a university. I agree with the players and the students, this problem has been going on for too long and it’s getting worse.
