The Washington Times reports a story about protesters on the UC Berkeley campus physically blocking white students from accessing a bridge while police stand by and watch:
Students at the University of California, Berkeley held a day of protest on Friday to demand the creation of additional “safe spaces” for transgender and nonwhite students, during which a human chain was formed on a main campus artery to prevent white students from getting to class.
The demonstrators were caught on video blocking Berkeley’s Sather Gate, holding large banners advocating the creation of physical spaces segregated by race and gender identity, including one that read “Fight 4 Spaces of Color.”
Protesters can be heard shouting “Go around!” to white students who attempt to go through the blockade, while students of color are greeted with calls of “Let him through!”
Students turned away by the mob are later shown filing through trees and ducking under branches in order to cross Strawberry Creek, which runs underneath the bridge.
The protests were a response to a Safe Space being moved from the fifth floor of a building down to the basement.

Hello, that's the caption written by the liar who posted the video.
Nobody actually says that.
I didn't realize soybeans were that fucking stupid.

We all see you trying to move the goalposts unnoticed. The issue you demanded timestamps for was not anyone vocalizing anything, but for people of certain appearances being let through the crows of "protesters" with no interference. Your deception is fooling no one.

I was referring to the change in title which reflected the caption at the timestamp.
The video at the timestamp doesn't actually show what's claimed. The two pairs of girls are not let through, they are let in, but then the video cuts out. In both cases. We never see them pass beyond the line. It would have been a simple matter for the video editor to include that footage. And yet its missing. Weird, huh?
