Hardin-Simmons University investigating reported racist social media post by student

ABILENE - Hardin-Simmons University said late Tuesday night it will investigate a video posted to social media by a woman wearing school-branded clothing.

In a message posted to the university’s official Twitter account, Hardin-Simmons said:

“HSU became aware late (Tuesday) evening of a deeply disappointing and unacceptable social media post by one of our students. The message shared by this student is not reflective of the Christian values of our institution. We are actively investigating and taking decisive action.”

The post in question appears to be a video shared originally to the social media platform Tik Tok. In it, a young woman wearing Hardin-Simmons University clothing depicts herself as a calm person with a caption reading: “People when a BLACK person kills another BLACK person.”
