Black student erupts on anti-Israel 'White libs' for blocking path on campus: 'Cosplaying as the oppressed'
A Black California student demanded “White men” get out of his way after some protesters from the anti-Israel encampment tried to block his passage through the area on campus.
Milagro Jones, a student at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), accused anti-Israel activists of racism after they told him to leave the area.
It was the second time this week that the protesters tried to block his passage. During the first incident, Jones was surrounded by protesters as they blocked his camera from recording, according to a FOX LA report.

During the most recent clash, Jones accused the anti-Israel activists of “discrimination.”
“Bro, I’m an African American. You are a White man telling me to leave a part of the campus. Do you want me to go to Jasmine Rush and show her a photo of you, the dean of students, and let her know that you was harassing me?” Jones said.
“Am I harassing you?” the anti-Israel activist at UCLA responded.
“You are. You’re asking me to leave a public place. You, as a White man, are asking an African-American student to leave a public area of UCLA campus. That’s called racial discrimination… Do you want to get out of my face now?” Jones replied.
A second activist chimed in, accusing Jones of being “an agitator on purpose.”
“I’m being an agitator? So you think the First Amendment is agitation?” Jones replied. “You’re two White men. You’re two White men blocking an African-American student from walking around on the campus.”
The second activist told Jones that he was free to go. “You can go wherever you want,” he said.
Jones, who was with his daughter at the time, explained that the other activist’s foot was blocking his child’s stroller.
“I’m allowed to go where I want? You seem to be blocking my daughter’s stroller from going forward… That’s a little weird, bro. You’re acting a little weird, bro,” he said.

The activist whose foot was blocking the stroller retorted, “I think right now you’re acting a little weird.”
“No, you’re gonna have to get on my case, bro. Sorry,” Jones said. “You’re following me. You’re sticking your hand in my face. You’re putting your arms up over me. You’re doing a lot of weird stuff, bro.”
A third activist joined his anti-Israel comrades insisting Jones leave the area, “We’re going to ask you to leave.”
Jones explained that the quad where the encampment was located was UCLA property and as a student he had every right to walk around.
“We’re politely asking you to leave,” the third activist repeated.
“I’m politely asking you to step outside. I’m a student here. Are you?” Jones responded.

“What, is the school a little too integrated for you? You’re trying to segregate the school or something?” Jones continued. “Look at these White liberals, bro. Look at these cosplayers. White liberals, White libs cosplaying as the oppressed, stopping the African-American student from accessing the school. Nothing new.”
Jones later explained in a video on TikTok why he raised the issue of race during the interaction.
“So, the reason why I keep flipping it around and bringing up race when I’m around these protesters is because that’s one of their trigger words,” he said. “I’m just flipping it around on ’em and telling him, like, ‘Hey, you’re stopping a Black guy from moving around the campus. Like, you’re always accusing other White people of being racist… So don’t you feel like what you’re doing is pretty racist, too?’” he said.

Each week at Last Rites, a Duboce Triangle establishment known for its immersive atmosphere, fans gather for a watch party of the long-running reality television series “Survivor.”
San Francisco resident Kiram Maledi has been a regular since discovering the event with friends.
“We live really close by,” Maledi said. “And my good friend Emily, who turned us on to ‘Survivor,’ found out that Last Rites hosts ‘Survivor’ night. We got super into watching ‘Survivor’ in the past couple years, and the thought of an outing in our neighborhood where we get to participate in community while also indulging in this awesome season is pretty fun.”
“Survivor,” one of the longest-running reality shows in television history, is now in its 50th season on CBS.
For Maledi, appreciation for the series came later in life.
“I’m a fan of the show because I never thought I’d be into reality TV, and I’m pleasantly surprised,” he said. “It’s a good practice of self to challenge myself for what I think I like. The challenges are super fun to watch. It’s cool to watch and be like, ‘How bad would I be at that?’ And for me to watch the social game and be like, ‘Oh, I would be crushed by that, I would really struggle.’ So to kind of role play like, how would these people do it, how would I do it, and oftentimes just get surprised and into it.”
The bar’s carefully crafted environment adds to the experience. With jungle-inspired decor, layered sound design and even scent elements, the space is designed to evoke a tropical destination, echoing the setting of the show itself.
Screens positioned throughout the bar ensure the episode is visible from nearly every angle.
“This is such a well-crafted space,” Maledi said. “The decorations, sound design — it even smells like what I think a tropical destination bar would smell like. I guess it is that. Drinks are super fantastic. I didn’t even know there was a second side of the menu.”
At Last Rites, the weekly gathering goes beyond simply watching a television show. For fans, it’s an immersive experience, one that brings them closer to the world of “Survivor,” and to each other.

The Seattle Mariners have two notable players on the injured list that are nearing their returns.
Mariners’ Matt Brash details side issue, doesn’t think it’s serious
Here’s a quick look at what we know about the statuses of third baseman Brendan Donovan and Bryce Miller.
Brendan Donovan
Donovan has been out of action with a left groin strain since April 18, but could be just days away from getting back in the Mariners’ lineup. The 29-year-old All-Star has reached the minimum amount for a stay on the 10-day injured list.
“The progression has gone as hoped, and he’s taken swings. I think he looks like he’s on pace to be back during the homestand at some point,” Mariners manager Dan Wilson said Tuesday.
Donovan was the Mariners’ key offseason acquisition, landing in Seattle from the St. Louis Cardinals in a three-team trade that also involved the Tampa Bay Rays.
Donovan underwent sports hernia surgery in October and had a few periods where he missed games in April due to injury or illness.
When Donovan has been on the field, he’s been Seattle’s primary leadoff hitter against right-handed pitching and among the team’s best offensive producers. He has a .304/.437/.518 slash line for a .954 OPS with three home runs in 18 games this year.
Bryce Miller
Still working his way back after oblique inflammation derailed his spring training, Miller is expected to make the third start of his minor league rehab assignment Friday in the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers’ home game against the Las Vegas Aviators at Cheney Stadium.
The Mariners will have a tough decision to make with their starting rotation when Miller returns, as Emerson Hancock (2.86 ERA, 0.981 WHIP) has been great thus far filling in for Miller. Seattle has some time before a decision needs to be made, though.
For one, Miller isn’t fully stretched out, throwing only 47 pitches and three innings in his second rehab start last Friday with the High-A Everett AquaSox. And second, Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said that the M’s were likely to use the full 30 days allowed on Miller’s rehab stint, which would put him on pace to join the team in mid-May.
