The danger of believing everyone is good with out and proud racism because your friends are.

Ole Miss fraternity expels member after viral video of him making monkey noises towards Black woman

A University of Mississippi fraternity has expelled a student who was caught on camera making monkey noises at a Black protester during a Gaza solidarity demonstration.

The shocking incident was captured on video, and showed the white student, a counter-protestor, jumping up and down, making monkey sounds toward the protester who was live-streaming on her phone.

Referring to Black people as monkeys is a known racist trope dating back hundreds of years and used to justify slavery and Jim Crow law.

The Phi Delta Theta fraternity said that it had reviewed the incident, which received widespread condemnation, and that the individual’s actions were “unacceptable”. The student was not named.

“The past few weeks have been challenging for many colleges and universities across the United States as they struggle to balance the protection of free speech with maintaining appropriate and respectful discourse among demonstrators and others within the campus community,” the fraternity said in a statement.
