Auburn University Black Student Union EXPOSED for Racist Group Chat
Auburn University’s Black Student Union (BSU) has been exposed for a Groupme chat that contains racist comments aimed at white students on campus.
A whistleblower from the BSU shared the contents of the union’s group chat after concerns that the group was engaging in racist behavior and harassment. The messages include numerous comments by students making fun of white people as a whole, and the group created a Google document for members to create new racial slurs for white people. The document includes over 200 anti-white slurs like, “snow pigs,” “saltine cracker,” “unseasoned chicken, “colonizer,” “cotton ball,”ku klux karen,” “neanderthal monkey,” and “failed abortions.”
Members of the BSU openly bragged about the names they created on the list, and mocked white people repeatedly. According to the whistleblower who is a member of the union, the group has a history of being discriminatory of members who do not share the same opinions as them. They also expressed that they shared the contents of the group chat because they wanted to take a stand against blatant, anti-white racism.
“I got tired of the blatant anti white racism shown in the left and decided to take a stand. I have two other black friends who were exBSU because they bullied them out for having different opinions than what was acceptable. BSU needs to learn to be more welcoming and inclusive to the white community. The BSU motto is “unity through education,” and they are currently failing at that.”
BSU whistleblower
Upon being notified of the communication between members of the BSU, the university stated the following response:
“On Tuesday afternoon, Auburn University was made aware of a GroupMe chat that used discriminatory language that is allegedly being circulated among some students. The university is committed to providing a working and academic environment that is free from discrimination and harassment and works to foster a nurturing community founded upon the fundamental dignity and worth of all its members. The university prohibits harassment of its students and employees as outlined in our Policy Against Discrimination and Harassment.
The university takes these matters very seriously and the alleged behavior does not represent the values of Auburn University. The appropriate administrators are examining the issue and considering appropriate actions. This matter will be treated in the same manner with which any issue of discrimination or harassment is addressed.”
Auburn University response to the incident
It goes without saying that if the roles were reversed, and this was a group of white students jokingly sharing racial slurs about black students, this would be a national news story. The students would be expelled and their career goals would be in jeopardy. But as is status quo on campuses across the country, students of color are allowed and encouraged to self-segregate and engage in racial discrimination against their peers, so long as they are members of a protected racial group.
