#BlackLivesMatter labels public library racist for not allowing them to be racist [Darleen Click]

BlackLiesMatter demands banning white people from attending their meetings, calls library “white supremacist” for policy barring racial discrimination.

NASHVILLE — Library officials have told Nashville’s chapter of the Black Lives Matter movement that meetings restricting those who attend by race aren’t allowed on public property.

The decision has outraged Black Lives Matter members. But Nashville Public Library officials said they’re following a library policy that specifies all meetings at their facilities must be open to the public and news media.

“The library didn’t cancel anyone’s meeting,” said library spokeswoman Emily Waltenbaugh, referring to a Black Lives Matter meeting Saturday that has been moved to a church. “We’re taxpayer funded. We have to be open to anyone any time.” […]

But the group has a rule, said Joshua Crutchfield, an organizer of the Nashville chapter: Only blacks or other minorities are allowed to attend. That means whites are excluded. […]

“Due to white supremacy in our local government, this week’s BLM General Body Meeting location has changed,” a notice posted on the Nashville chapter of Black Lives Matter’s Facebook page reads. The notice says the group’s meetings are “open to black and non-black people of color only.”

    “open to black and non-black people of color only.”

    But it’s dem nasty ol’ white peoples what’s racist, amIright? If there were any group anywhere that openly advertised that their meetings are “open to white people and albinos only”, the screaming from government, the media, and the SJWs would be loud enough to wake Mark Watney from a sound sleep.

    somebody forgot tp include the “only” in the hashtag I guess.

    Glad the Nashville Public Library recognizes the ??? when they see it.

    I think the reason I gave up being a liberal is because it was too difficult tot keep up with the rules.

    I set up on quitter.se and freezepeach.xyz which is a 4-chan and conservative leper colony for people not really that welcome on quitter.se

    Both are rather sparse. Lots of anime avatars.

    It’s very likely BLM knew they wouldn’t be allowed to hold the meeting in the library. That was the point! Free publicity.

    The ??? were 3 of an “upside down K” font.

    Well, by upside down I mean rotated 180 dgerees on the axis that runs into the page. Not just mirrored vertically.
