University of Mississippi students start racist protest after election result, The Jackson Clarion Ledger reported that "students were heard shouting racial epithets about Obama and African Americans in general. Police were called to the scene and the crowd broke up around 12:30 a.m."
Reports conflict over whether rocks were thrown, but Twitter images testify that an "Obama Biden" campaign sign was burned. No one was arrested or injured in the context of the Oxford campus's history of racist violence, it's a stretch to call last night's incident a "riot."
