From white sorority members posting racist messages on Snapchat, to a student wearing a white KKK robe on campus, it’s clear that racial terror is being waged on campuses around the world.
The latest offense took place at Nottingham Trent University in England on Wednesday.

According to BBC, two men were arrested after recorded yelling racial slurs like “we hate the blacks.” NTU student Rufaro Chisango shared the racially charged video on her twitter account with the caption, “Yoo I’m fuming, the way people in the same uni halls as me are chanting ‘we hate the blacks’ outside my bedroom door. Words cannot describe how sad this makes me feel, in this 2018 people think this is still acceptable.”
Speaking out
Rufaro Chisango recorded the footage of the two 18-year-old students yelling racial slurs, while in her dorm room. Since the video surfaced, the two suspected offenders have been suspended by the university.
The student told the BBC that the racial comments understandably made her feel uncomfortable and “they shouldn’t be happening.” Chisango reported the incident to her dorm’s reception center on Tuesday but the University was not informed until Wednesday.

The school and police respond
Officials with Trent University claimed to be “shocked” and “appalled” after seeing the video and said they would investigate the matter with a sense of urgency.

“We are also working with our accommodation partner to understand why the university was only alerted to this on Wednesday evening after this was reported to them in the very early hours of Tuesday. We treat hate crime as a priority.”
