Mizzou is a god damn mess, and has been for a long time now. The racial tension has to be pretty wild there. I was a student athlete there back in 2010 when the cotton ball incident happened, and I was basically forced by the track coach to join a MBMI group. (Mizzou black mens initiative). He pretty much felt that I had a hard time blending in with my peers, and that was due to being surrounded by white people, and thought that joining the group would help. Kind of strange considering I grew up in Boonville Mo, which is like 95% White, and all of the other guys in the group were from places like Ferguson, and had never really been around white people before.
