One Tweet Shows the Hypocrisy of America's Reaction to White People Rioting at Ohio State - Mic

One Tweet Shows the Hypocrisy of America's Reaction to White People Rioting at Ohio State - Mic: The difference is partly rooted in racial stereotypes, which frame black people as naturally threatening. Columbus is 62% white, while Ohio State University has an 82% white student body. Police officers used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse last night's crowds, but only 6-7 arrests were reported (which is remarkable, considering the number of arsons).



 If this had been a black majority, can we honestly say the rampant fires, stadium break-in and goal post destruction would be have been treated as celebratory revelry? It's unlikely, based on what we've seen this past year. Welcome to post-racial America.
