An Ole Miss honor student standing outside her residence hall was the apparent victim of a racially motivated attack.
Kiesha Reeves said she went out to her car to get something when a black truck full of loud, laughing people [whom] she could not identify pulled up and tossed an alcoholic beverage at her, according to the Ole Miss University newspaper web site.
“It all happened so fast and I was so shocked that I couldn’t really see any faces, only the outline of the black truck,” she said. “I heard the laughter and words ‘black n****r’ very distinctly.”
Moments earlier Reeves roommate had told her of seeing a black truck driving around yelling racial epithets.
Police believe the incident may have been part of an earlier act of vandalism to the state of Civil Rights leader James Meredith.
Reeves said the incident is not completely out of the norm. The residence hall she lives in suffers from periodic racial tensions, she said.
First nooses around statues of civil rights leaders and now this? These students need to be reprimanded ASAP.
