From the College Fix:

This time, the Nashville, Tennessee chapter of Black Lives Matter is upset that the city publiclibrary won’t permit racially exclusive meetings in its buildings.

The BLM chapter’s rules state that “only blacks or other minorities are allowed to attend.”

Library officials point out they’re merely following policy which states “all meetings at their facilities must be open to the public and news media,” and spokeswoman Emily Waltenbaugh clarified: “The library didn’t cancel anyone’s meeting. We’re taxpayer funded. We have to be open to anyone any time.”
