Why are black people protesting?

I keep reading in the news that black college kids are protesting all over the country but I can't for the life of me find out why. I've read something about a shit swastika and a football team, but not an actual reason for the mass protests. News stories always just say it's about racism or something vague like that, but not what set all the whole thing off.

What the fuck is going on? Someone mind shedding some light on the whole situation?

Maybe it's a generational thing. They think that federal authority is like their parents; ready to whisk down and correct injustice if they cry hard enough.
