As hundreds were being gunned down in Paris on Friday, sympathizers with the University of Missouri race protesters expressed outrage online that the media had turned its attention to the terrorist attacks.

For much of last week, demonstrations at Missouri dominated the headlines, as a student group forced the president to resign over a string of racist incidents.

Things took a turn Friday afternoon when news broke of a series of coordinated terrorist attacks in Paris, with nearly nearly 129 innocent victims dead and more than 400 injured.

Supporters of the University of Missouri protesters were outraged on Friday when the media turned its attention to the Paris terrorist attacks

Some of the supporters expressed the opinion that the racist incidents at Missouri were terrorism, like the attacks that killed 129 innocent civilians in Paris

A student group started protesting earlier this semester, after a group of white people allegedly yelled racial slurs at a student body leader and a stastika was drawn in feces in a campus bathroom. Above, some Missouri protesters assembled on the school's quad on November 9

When still little was known about the terrorist attacks, Missouri sympathizers took to Twitter to condemn the media's coverage of Paris as a means to sweep under the rug the issues in Missouri.

'It's black kids trapped in their rooms in #Mizzou but ya'll talking bout #PrayForParis ... f*** Paris. #PrayFor Mizzou,' one user said in a since-deleted tweet.

As several right-wing media outlets started covering the insensitive tweets, many started deleted the offense comments or setting their accounts to private.

Others proudly defended their tweets and compared the racist incidents that sparked the protests at Missouri as terrorism as well.

'Notice how white people easily empathize w/victims of international terrorism while denying the domestic terrorism inflicted upon us,' Twitter user @SankofaBrown wrote.

The University of Missouri protesters, who call themselves Concerned Student 1950, started calling for the resignation of President Tim Wolfe earlier this fall, after a string of incidents. The first came when a student body president, who is black, said a truck full of white people near campus yelled racial slurs at him.
