![NEWS | Black students reported receiving anonymous racist text messages last week with language referencing slavery; for some, however, this is not the first encounter with racism at the University, which has not publicly addressed the texts.
While those text messages were part of a larger nationwide trend, Black UA students have encountered racism both before and after the general election last Tuesday.
When freshman marketing major Alyse McCall received these text messages, part of her felt like the messages could be legitimate threats from someone local.
“A lot of the kids here are kind of crazy sometimes when it comes to politics or [when they’re] just out on the street talking about people that are another race or what they represent,” McCall said.
