CNN The University of Mississippi has opened a student conduct investigation after actions of hostility and racist overtones were portrayed during a demonstration on campus.
The incident unfolded Thursday on the schools campus during a heated exchange between a group of pro-Palestinian protesters and a much larger group of counterprotesters.
About 30 pro-Palestinian protesters were demonstrating in a barricaded zone when they were surrounded by an estimated 200 counterprotesters, some holding American flags, several Trump flags and some dressed in red, white, and blue.
While there are multiple videos circulating online showing the protest at varying times, one video in particular shows a group of mostly young white men in the counterprotest yelling at a Black woman, at least one counterprotester is seen on video making what appears to be monkey gestures at the woman, although CNN has not confirmed that is the case, as she records the group on her phone.

(9,039 posts)Just take their talents elsewhere, where they are not hated off the field. Hell they could ALL go play for Sanders, and create a super team where all the scouts for pros hang out.
Why would black athletes go to schools where white preppies do monkey imitations at them.
A better idea, toss the racist white brats into the locker room. Give em a little reality lesson.
And its not just the brats. Its the college suits that are chancing curriculums to not offend the white folks and encouraging the division.
I love college sports and the SEC. Hating the way these handful of pukes are showing their deep family bred hate. And the schools leaders enforce the DeSantas style racism. But its the GQP lawmakers that are creating all the rules and division into our education system, mostly in the south and red states. Lots of opportunities for the athletes to play other conferences.
All just an opinion from a college sports fanatic.
Means nothing.
Except racism disgusts me.
I served with many ethnicities that I knew had my back in battle much more than some white frat pricks that believe they are some super race. GQP, Trump and MAGA thrive off of hate of them
All.
Sorry to rant, but those Miss white spoiled pukes pissed this vet to my core.
The coming trump military draft may get em WOKE to multiple ethnicities. Rump wants a North Korea, China, Hitler type military. He will HAVE to draft, including white boys.
But like I said, toss into the locker room for a little locker room TALK. Let em do their monkey skit there.
