Dartmouth Protesters Assault Students While Screaming Racial Threats
No students reported witnessing or experiencing any sort of physical violence, though a few expressed that they felt uncomfortable or intimidated by the protest.
Protests have now spread to other campuses, with students calling on their universities to increase diversity among faculties and to be more responsive to the needs of minority students. During a Monday night community discussion at the school’s black affinity dormitory, vice provost for student affairs Inge-Lise Ameer apologized to protesters for the hostile coverage their protest received.
The protest was recorded and uploaded on YouTube (WARNING: this video might be offensive to a few viewers). Check out a clip below via Campus Reform.
The newspaper reported that the group, which had amassed 150 supposed Dartmouth students, organized in front of Dartmouth Hall but moved to overtake Baker Berry Library.
These shouted epithets were the first indication that many students had of the coming storm. The protesters followed her out of the library, shouting obscenities the whole way. “They surged first through first-floor Berry, then up the stairs to the normally undisturbed floors of the building, before coming back down to the ground floor…” Charlie Lundquist (the Tab), who had been involved with part of the protest, has more.
“They kept shouting and started banging on tables”.
Note that the BLM spokesperson freely admits they were trying to intimidate people which directly contradicts school policy regarding “bias”.
“Students who refused to listen to or join their outbursts were shouted down”. According to the essay, while the group aimed to protest “racist incidents and (stand) in solidarity with students who do not feel safe on their college campuses” by dressing in all black, he said their efforts took an unexpected turn at the library.
College NAACP vice president Tsion Abera said there is no truth to the allegations of violence.
“After making a girl cry, a protester screamed ‘F*** your white tears, ‘” he reports.
Abera denied that there were any physical assaults carried out by the demonstrators, but She said confirmed that a few of the students used profanity.
“It was important to point out that the students sitting there in the library at the computers represented this greater degree of ignorance, apathy and privilege that you see at Dartmouth, but the way it was done by personally attacking people was counterproductive”, Korff-Korn said.
