Investigation opened.

Chancellor “disgusted” by racism.
quote:

The University of Mississippi has opened at least one investigation after videos of pro-Palestinian protesters surrounded by counterprotesters circulated online

quote:

Chancellor Glenn F. Boyce sent a letter to students and staff on Friday noting that Ole Miss leaders were aware of behaviors that were "offensive, hurtful, and unacceptable, including actions that conveyed hostility and racist overtones" at Thursday's protest.

quote:

"We are working to determine whether more cases are warranted."

quote:

On Thursday, a group of roughly 30 to 60 pro-Palestinian protesters gathered on the quad and added to the list of demonstrations on college campuses nationwide. But the event turned hostile as they were outnumbered by counterprotesters, who at one point drowned out the chants of protesters by singing “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

quote:

Videos of the event circulated online, with many noting that the pro-Palestinian demonstrators appeared to be a multiracial group but were surrounded by a mostly white group of counterprotesters taunting them.

quote:

The university's Black Student Union released a statement in solidarity with the pro-Palestinian group, whom they described as "nonviolent demonstrators who were advocating for Palestine," according to The Daily Mississippian. "The students were exercising their right under the First Amendment, while the counter-protesters were present with malicious intent as well as a prominent lack of knowledge,"

quote:

Commenters online condemned the incident, comparing the racist overtones of the interaction to the long history of racial animus and violence in Mississippi.

quote:

Boyce's message on Friday acknowledged both students' and faculty's rights to free speech and peaceful assembly under the First Amendment, but singled out behaviors that demeaned people "because of their race or ethnicity" as contrary to the school's values. He added that it is "important to acknowledge our challenging history, and incidents like this can set us back."

quote:

"It is one reason why we do not take this lightly and cannot let the unacceptable behavior of a few speak for our institution or define us," Boyce said.



I feel bad for those baws. They’re gonna have to go to Delta State after they’re expelled.

Push back against the university with the big donors from the alumni and they will cave.

Threaten to not donate to the NIL collective and and university admins will fold quick

Ole Miss should expel him, too, but that should be the end of it, unless they have similar shenanigans from others. They should also investigate some of the blatantly racist statements made about white people and expel those mother friggers.

Yeah, when I saw this at first I was like "cool," and then I was like "this is just going to give adminstrators at SEC schools more ammo to go after the hated frats."

Nothing will happen. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. You can't allow one side to have "free speech" and not the other.

They will prance around in the media, but they will do nothing.

Which dude and for what?

A fraternity is a private club, so they can do what they want. I would be surprised if the school did anything.

You have protesters calling for the death of Jews and nothing happens.

i don't think he should have been canned. I have 0 problems with those dudes calling her Lizzo. I have 0 problems with them flipping the bird. I wouldn't do any of those things and find them to be in bad taste but...

and that is way worse than making monkey sounds at somebody.


But it was a stupid unforced error on that dude's part.

if you are on one side of the political aisle, you are free to say and do whatever you please because your statements are all viewed as legally and politically protected "free speech"

if you are on the other side of the political aisle, you are bad and wrong, and anythign you say is unprotected hate speech, and you will be punished.

pretty nice little setup the Lefties have where whatever they say and do is defined as right and good and the other side is defined as bad and wrong.

are you living in an alternate, parallel reality where standards are applied to both sides equally?

I think when you show up to a campus protesting a particular group of people (in this case Jews) no sympathy should be given to you and whatever mean shite gets directed back at you. If you had a protest with idiots protesting the the presence of blacks or Hispanic’s on campus and demanding the university disassociate itself with them, counter protestors calling you white trash, honkeys, seasoning deficient, cousin frickers or other names is well deserved. You can’t allow one group to promote vile shite and punish another group for saying vile shite in return.

Funny how they claim the "frat boys" used all of this colorful language. There are 100s of cameras out there but none seem to have any of this language on video.

The frat boys had a great mission, narrative, and implemented their plan perfectly. The idiot making monkey noises ruined it, as the entire counter movement will be cast in that light. The guy acted stupidly and unfortunately his life will change drastically, and not for the better. Meanwhile those calling for death the Jews and the elimination of Israel will likely suffer zero consequences.

OM virtue signaling is not a surprise.

OTOH, I have a feeling this won’t end well for the school. Donors are the lifeblood of a university and OM is the law and medical school for the state. Those donors get pissed off and OM is going to be an impoverished patrician rather than old money.
