The University of Mississippi has opened a student conduct investigation after actions of “hostility and racist overtones” were portrayed during a demonstration on campus.
On Thursday, about 30 pro-Palestinian protesters were demonstrating on campus 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.
