"SNIP........
The march coincided with the universitys celebration of its bicentennial.
It was a planned flash mob, Spencer said in an interview Saturday night. It was a great success. Weve been planning this for a long time.
We wanted to prove that we came in peace in May, we came in peace in August, and we come again in peace, he said.
Their message, he said, is that, Our identity matters. We are not going to stand by and allow people to tear down these symbols of our history and our people and were going to do this again.
.........SNIP"

If thats offensive to you, perhaps you should reconsider your motives. I know youve espoused the idea of white dominance repeatedly...newsflash, youre in 2017, not 1956....you may not like the fact that our country is becoming more beautiful with diversity, but its happening whether you like it or not...
