This is the thanks they get from their affirmative-action babies. Actually not "thanks". THREATS!---U of Michigan Black Students Threaten Violence if Demands Not Met

U of Michigan Black Students Threaten Violence if Demands Not Met - Uncle Sams Misguided Children
Ann Arbor, Michigan – A group of activist black students at the University of Michigan made threats against the school if their demands are not met. 

michiganSpeaking on campus January 20, they gave the school 7 days to meet their demands before they will take “physical actions.”

Demands

The demands were read by student Erick Gavin:
-We demand that the university give us an equal opportunity to implement change, the change that complete restoration of the BSU [Black Student Union] purchasing power through an increased budget would obtain.
-We demand available housing on central campus for those of lower socio-economic status at a rate that students can afford, to be a part of university life, and not just on the periphery.
-We demand an opportunity to congregate and share our experiences in a new Trotter [Multicultural Center] located on central campus.
-We demand an opportunity to be educated and to educate about America’s historical treatment and marginalization of colored groups through race and ethnicity requirements throughout all schools and colleges within the university.
-We demand the equal opportunity to succeed with emergency scholarships for black students in need of financial support, without the mental anxiety of not being able to focus on and afford the university’s academic life.
-We demand increased exposure of all documents within the Bentley (Historical) Library. There should be transparency about the university and its past dealings with race relations.
-We demand an increase in black representation on this campus equal to 10 percent.

Threats


“… Without action, alternatively, we will be forced to engage as an entire community in ways to implement the changes we request. We will allow the university seven days to end negotiations and come to conclusions on our seven demands. If negotiations are not complete we will be forced to do more, beginning to increase valiantly our activism for social progress and take physical actions on the University of Michigan’s campus.” Shayla Scales
