A Nashville chapter of Black Lives Matter ran into trouble recently when they tried to set up their regular meeting at the North Branch Library in North Nashville. They were told that, unless they changed their rules to accommodate the library’s policy, they had to find a new location. The library policy in question? According to Spokeswoman Emily Waltenbaugh:
"All meetings at our facilities must be open to the general public and news media.
We’re a library. We’re taxpayer funded. We have to be open to anyone anytime."
The Black Lives Matter rule that violates policy? According to group organizer Joshua Crutchfield:
"Only black people as well as non-black people of color are allowed to attend the gatherings."
The group changed their meeting location to a nearby church, announcing the change of venue with the following sign:
The group’s "minority only" rule was brought to the attention of the library by an anonymous patron, at which point the library reached out to Black Lives Matter organizers to inform them of the policy.
They were given the choice to either open their meetings or change locations.
“Only black people as well as non-black people of color are allowed to attend the gatherings.”
========================================= Isn’t white a color?
Is this like a KLAN meeting??
The library? Kind of means one can find it.
Cut them some slack, it’s probably the first time any of them have ever been in a library.
You already know how this is going to be solved. Once BLM screams “Racism” enough, the library will have to change its policy to accommodate them.
White is all colors of the spectrum and most inclusive. Black, no color at all.
White Supremacy? SOBs are so full of hate do they think we need to divide this nation? Is segregation what they want? Do they really believe they would be better off that way?
"No Whites Allowed"
what does that say about the Methodist church?....they allow discrimination?...
Maybe the BLM Leaders could have informed its constituents what those things on the shelves are.
The Nashville library system is RACIST...its racist to obey the rules...
and these racist are endorsed by the Dem party and the White House.
a black Klan meeting backed by some white guilt fools who have no idea about the real world.
Rosa Parks really wasted her time and energy with that whole courageous stand she made in Montgomery years ago, since it seems the black passengers all sit in the back of the bus today anyway.
This BLM movement has become so preposterous in their segregationist ways that I would swear they are secretly organized and promoted by the KKK.
“Is this like a KLAN meeting??”
Yeah, except that instead of burning a cross they burn down their neighborhood.
White is all colors of the spectrum and most inclusive. Black, no color at all.
You weren’t that great in elementary science were you.
The Klan with the tan. A great phrase from the esteemed Walter Williams.
The Library actually required them to read?
