    We are defining what happened earlier as protests. "Riots" are violent public disturbances, and that did not occur on the #OleMiss campus.

    Margaret Ann Morgan‏@The_MAMster

    Onlookers say people- black, white, etc- throwing rocks at cars #OleMiss

    Daily Mississippian‏@thedm_news

    #BREAKING We won't use the word "riot," but there was lots of protesting from various groups.

    #BREAKING Racial slurs & derogatory language was used by some students during the "riots."

    If there was a race war the south is the last place I'd want to be.

  • This whole thing is just crazy. I guess these students at Om don't realize how they are making not only ole miss look bad but also our state. These students views are ridiculous and they do not represent every person in Mississippi.

  • Ole Miss released a statement from the chancellor:

    A Message from Chancellor Dan Jones

    November 7, 2012 By Ole Miss News

    OXFORD, Miss. – University police were notified by students shortly before midnight Tuesday that Twitter chatter was indicating students were gathering near the student union to protest the results of the election. The officers found 30-40 students gathered in front of the union, and over the next 20 minutes the gathering had grown to more than 400 students, many of whom were chanting political slogans. The crowd was ordered to disperse by university police, and after about 25 minutes students had returned to residence halls. About 100 students gathered again at one hall, and university police dispersed the group and made two arrests for disorderly conduct, including one for public intoxication and one for failure to comply with police orders.

    “While we are grateful that there were no injuries and there was no property damage, we are very disappointed in those students who took a very immature and uncivil approach to expressing their views about the election,” said University of Mississippi Chancellor Dan Jones. “The gathering seems to have been fueled by social media, and the conversation should have stayed there.”

    “Unfortunately, early news reports quoted social media comments that were inaccurate. Too, some photographs published in social media portrayed events that police did not observe on campus. Nevertheless, the reports of uncivil language and shouted racial epithets appear to be accurate and are universally condemned by the university, student leaders and the vast majority of students who are more representative of our university creed.”

    Jones said, “Parents are being notified that it’s a normal day on campus and that one of America’s safest campuses is safe again this morning, though all of us are ashamed of the few students who have negatively affected the reputations of each of us and of our university. We are initiating a thorough review of this incident to determine the facts and any follow-up actions that may be necessary.”

    Jones said, “We are reminding our students of relevant statements within the university creed: The University of Mississippi is a community of learning dedicated to nurturing excellence in intellectual inquiry and personal character in an open and diverse environment. As a voluntary member of this community: I believe in respect for the dignity of each person. I believe in fairness and civility. I believe in personal and professional integrity.”

    Good job Ole Miss, you just gave every other school in the country a great negative-recruiting tool for use on any black athlete.

  • Why is this a surprise? They had a confederate soldier as their mascot until 3 or 4 years ago and used to wave confederate flags at their games up until 10 or 12 years ago

  • Former OM rebel Mckinley Boykin post on FB

    Woooooooooooow! I can't believe the they had a f****** rioting and burning Obama posters at Olemiss. Foreal people, I graduated in 2005 and I'm from Alabama. 7 years has passed and I still get asked why I why did I go to to olemiss. Every time I'm almost speechless. Its truly embarrassing for me but the fact of the matter is went because it was a better situation for to play football and go to the professional level. Honestly, I feel olemiss will never grow I don't care how much people try to hide and forget how racist they are. But for all the people who play sports there I'm behind you.
