“KKK” And “Leave N****rs” Spray-Painted On Eastern Michigan University Building

https://www.buzzfeed.com/tamerragriffin/kkk-and-leave-niggers-spray-painted-on-eastern-michigan-univ

An Eastern Michigan University staff member found “KKK” and “Leave Niggers” scrawled in graffiti on the side of an administrative building Tuesday morning, sparking outrage among students.

According to a Facebook post by campus newspaper the Eastern Echo, an EMU employee discovered the wall of Julia Ann King Hall, formerly an all-female dorm, had been vandalized....

“We’re hurt,” Janeé said. “We pay for our education just like everyone else, so to see something like that in the morning on our way to class it’s caused outrage and pain.”

“The black community at Eastern is phenomenal and all we want is to be treated like every other race here at Eastern,” she added.

Probably someone not from this area.

Fuck 'em. Hope they find them and prosecute for vandalism.

"I've known thousands of White people and not one of them know any kkk..."

It's ethically convenient to pretend we have absolute knowledge of who and what others may know, regardless of whether they speak of it or not.

Wake up, indeed...
