Sickening: HBCUs are receiving bomb threats, and

Spelman received several over the last two weeks. Morehouse, Spelman, and Clark Atlanta Universities are located adjacent or very close to one another.

There was a post in LBN yesterday, but there are more threats as of today:

Albany State University, Southern University and A&M, Howard University, Bethune-Cookman University, Bowie State University, Delaware State University, Spelman, etc. The Washington Post reported about seven other schools that received similar threats, including University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, Florida Memorial University, Howard University, Norfolk State University, North Carolina Central University, Prairie View A&M University.

No harm in his words. We can’t know what he intends or feels, right?’? I don’t know who is more stupid, the guy saying it or the people buying the garbage.

NOT criticizing you.

I am made to ask, how is this not terrorism? It is beyond racism.

Feel free to add others. I hope the FBI is looking to see who is coordinating these threats. With such a broad geographic area these HBCUs cover, someone must be getting volunteers to sign up to make threats.

The white supremacists will fail. They will fail, and they inwardly know it.

No one is going back. Not ever.
