Minor will be charged with making dozens of racist threats to HBCUs, FBI says


The FBI is broadening its outreach to historically Black colleges and universities at the same time the agency’s director announced that one minor will be charged with making dozens of racist threats earlier this year against more than 50 HBCUs across the country.

“We have worked with state prosecutors to ensure that that individual is charged under various other state offenses,” FBI Director Christopher Wray told the House committee on Homeland Security Tuesday, noting that the accused minor won’t be charged federally because of limitations for juveniles.

Threats against HBCUs peaked in January and February when at least 57 colleges received bomb threats via phone calls, e-mails, instant messages and anonymous online posts, according to the FBI.

More than a dozen schools had to lock down or postpone classes on the first day of Black History Month in February after at least 18 HBCUs received bomb threats.

The orange clown has made talk of DEI verboten, SCOTUS outlawed any attempt to bring DEI in academia, empowering Edward Blum to attack other minority serving institutions like the Fearless Fund. Not to mention the impending threat of deportation. This terror is only the beginning.

I think we've mentally blocked out just how much violence and mass shootings Trumpism has generated because it's been normalized along with everything else...
