As of the scenario, students at 80 other colleges clearly elaborated their scale of solidarity with the protestors who were at the University of Missouri. Students were indulged into some serious tensions as the black students mostly from Kansas City and St. Louis did communicate with the white students belonging mostly to the rural areas (Johnson, n.d.). These two groups of students remained separated. But, for such an enormous clashing incident a year later, whites were found to yell racial slurs as well as insults at two black coeds who were mostly found trolling down the fraternity house.
