The black students are members of Mizzou’s group, Legion of Black Collegians (LBC). Nearly a year after students protested racial bias on campus, black students at University of Missouri are speaking out against yet another instance of racism they say happened on their campus. pic.twitter.com/TkoggBKSGPAccording to the statement, a group of six to seven white students passed two black, female members of LBC when a white woman from the group shouted, “look at those n****rs* looking at us.” The black students contacted other LBC members to report that they didn’t feel safe, according to the statement. After police got involved, members of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity, whose house the incident occurred near, began recording the encounter and yelling obscene language at the black students. Authorities identified and will question one suspect of the verbal attack, but LBC is demanding tougher repercussions.
