Ole Miss Riots Following Ole Miss Obama Victory [Video]
Obama was re-elected last night. Despite what the media is telling you, the country was kind of split on that one. In fact, some people weren’t entirely happy with the result. That’s why some students at Ole Miss kind of rioted last night. Don’t worry, I’m sure it sounds more racist than it actually is. WMCTV has all the gory details:
According to witnesses, the riot originally started on social media and ended with 300 to 400 students protesting on the campus.
The riot blew up on social networking sites overnight. Photos were posted all over Twitter, and a video was even uploaded to Youtube.
Oh, the humanity! People were turning to Youtube to post their videos? Oh, sorry. Here comes the “racist-ass South” part of the story.
Photos show huge group of people on the campus, some even lighting Obama-Biden signs on fire in response to the presidential election results.
We have been told some students were arrested during the riot. According to people on the scene, students were heckling one another and racial slurs were even yelled out in the crowd.
Ole Miss journalism student Margaret Ann Morgan posted to Twitter, “Onlookers say people- black, white, etc- throwing rocks at cars.”
She continued, “Students of all races yelling on rebel drive. Lots of racial slurs.”
Racism on Rebel Drive? I am shocked. Or maybe this is all liberal media overreaction.
However, Nicholas Carr claims no rocks were thrown and the majority of the people at the protests were there to see what was going on.
“I was there the whole time. No rocks were thrown. There was 1 sign lit on fire. For about 45 seconds,” Carr said. “Mostly, it was 100s of college kids who heard the word riot and ran to take pictures and see what it was about. Again, no rocks or missiles thrown.”
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, but I’d just like to thank Mr. Carr for letting everyone know that no rocks or missiles were thrown. Even if there is no way of knowing that. Well, the rock part at least. The only time a missile was thrown on the Ole Miss campus was this one time that Michael Oher thought one was trying to bully S.J.

To be fair, they were responding to the 30 for 30 segment, not Obama’s re-election.

TBL called the entire Ole Miss campus racist and he canceled his trip that he was never going on to tailgate at a football game because the KKK that was completely unaffiliated with Ole Miss said something. He was called out on it and deleted the post. It became a meme. The story of the internet.

And if Romney had won there would’ve been much more violent riots throughout the country.

They’re dessicates, Spencer. They absorb moisture. These clothes won’t last 5 years without ‘em.

Ole Miss is a very racist and prejudice school. The students and alumini do not hide it at all. Most of the the fraternities and sororities wear their Greek letter shirts around campus. On the back of the t-shirts are the Greek letters and on the front there are slave owners and people who started revolts for the confederacy. Some students walk around with head members of the Klu Klux Klan one their shirts. There is nothing wrong with being proud of you heritage, but why would anyone want to be associated with such negative ideas. I would be ashamed if my family gained wealth from slavery. I know one can not change the past. I definitely would not broadcast it. It does not matter, MS will be left in the dust. By the time the residents of MS get a clue it will be too late. I know so many people that left there for better opportunities and a different way of life. People of every color.It is boring there. One has to leave the state to enjoy yourself. The students at Ole Miss made the state of Mississippi look foolish. People should recognize and respect the differences of others. We need to meet in the middle. If Romney would have won I don’t people would have burned signs. Especially, if the election process would have been done fairly. The south will be left behind. The people there don’t care if they live the 60′s. They will continue to get drunk and eat. Trust me there is nothing else to do there. Ole Miss considers itself the Harvard of the south. Were the students at Harvard making fools of themselves. Nope, only the students at Ole Miss that already have a horrible reputation nationally. LOL!
