Providence College is alleging that racist statements were painted on cars affiliated with their campus But the video showed that the people caught on video were not exactly white supremacists.
Providence College has shared surveillance images showing a group of vandals that etched the N-word on some students’ cars, including one that belongs to a Black basketball player.The racial slur was written in frost on multiple vehicles in the Glay student parking lot sometime between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. Saturday, campus security officials said.”This is outrageous and entirely unacceptable, and I want you to know that the Office of Public Safety and the Providence Police Department are investigating this matter aggressively. We will do everything we can to find the person or persons responsible and hold them accountable,” the Rev. Kenneth R. Sicard, the college president, wrote in a campus-wide email. “While this act appears to be random in nature, at least one of the vehicles that was involved is owned by a student of color.”Sicard said he unequivocally condemned the behavior and offered support to those affected. Students are also denouncing the cold-hearted hate.
“The cold-hearted hate”?, really that’s this “journalist’s” take? What if that “cold-hearted hate” were fake hate, of the variety we have documented at length here at LI?
