Library officials told the group that if it holds a meeting at a public space such as the library, it has to be open to everyone.

“It really goes back to our values as a part of Metro government and our values as a library which is to be free to all, open to all and welcoming to all," Fanta said.

Because of that rule, Black Lives Matter Nashville decided to change locations for the meeting.

A post on the Black Lives Matter Nashville Facebook page said their next meeting had been relocated to Dixon Memorial United Methodist Church because of “white supremacy in our local government.”

“We’ve been meeting regularly and then one person, I assume white person, felt excluded and complained and we were kicked out," said Black Lives Matter member Joshua Crutchfield. "I definitely think it is a result of white supremacy."

"meetings are open to black and non-black people of color only"  HUH???
