The MissouriMess Model arrived at UNC-CH Thurs Night
50 DEMANDS…. Or ELSE!
The “Or Else” is not specified but the words “basketball team” did come up. …… WHAMMO!
I was wrong. I really figured this would take a few more weeks. But you all did know it was coming, Right?
A complete list of the 50 DEMANDS is linked. Some real doozies…. Silent Sam… “that Bush Woman”….. blah blah blah …. but you probably figured there would be. Huh?
NOTE: NO Black FB / MBB were identified as members of this mini-mob tonight. Someone needs to tell Urkel that without a dozen prominent black jocks standing beside him – “He’s got nuthin’….”.
Who will bend over and grab their ankles first? Chihuahua (From Dartmouth)? Roy? Larry? Tom “Z Smith” Ross?
(1) Will ANYONE have the cajones to “Just Say NO!”?
(2) What color lapel ribbon will Little Carol choose for this one?
(3) Can they still build “The IPF” if they name it for a black guy? …. and, OF COURSE…
(4) “Coach, will this effect Recruiting?”
They should bring “Trainwreck” Fennebresque AND Dickie back for this…. Dontchathink?

Students interrupt race meeting at UNC with lengthy demands
http://abc11.com/news/students-interrupt-race-meeting-at-unc-with-demands/1091983/
CHAPEL HILL (WTVD) —
A UNC town hall meeting on race relations on college campuses was disrupted Thursday evening by a group of students who took over the event and read off a lengthy list of 50 demands.
CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL LIST (.pdf)
The list of demands titled “A collective Response to Anti-blackness” labels UNC Chapel Hill as an “unethical institution” which exploits labor, runs an “athletic industrial complex”, and treats people of color as “less than essential to the everyday running of UNC.”
The demands rang from the removal of the new system president, mandatory training for students and staff on the “historical racial violence of the university”, banning the use of standardized tests like the SAT for college admission, more transparency when it comes to graduation rates, and free access to all school cafeterias and gyms for all North Carolina residents.

Race relations have been an ongoing conversation on campus. Just this year, the school has seen a renewed fight against Silent Sam – a Confederate memorial that has been vandalized several times.
Most recently, it came up again after the University of Missouri president stepped down – accused of not addressing issues of racism.
ABC11 will update this developing story
