    Samantha Bee I’m so glad you did this. I knew there had been some bomb threats at various hbcus but I did not know how many. Nor how little they are funded. Nor how incredibly strong brave and perseverant their students are.

    We fought wars against Confederates and Nazis, and now we’re told to “respect their right to free speech.”
    The US lets the problem grow until it boils over, and then refuses to do anything about it until it grows again, generation after generation.
    The US hypnotizes itself with myths of “Freedom and Democracy” but no one knows what it takes to actually ensure either. The Republican party is the single most dangerous terrorist organization on Earth and no one takes the threat seriously. We just let them continue to spread like cancer.

    All HBCUs are not 100% Black. White and other nationality students go there too.

    Is Jussie Smollett one of the suspects?

    I’m just going to assume that it would be illegal to have historically WHITE colleges in the US. Not that I support bomb threats. But I also don’t support being able to decide when segregation is good and when it’s bad.

    Imagine being such a loser and a racist domestic terrorist coward that you have to threaten HBCU’s for a living.

    The UK has just completely fu*#ed itself with its vote to leave the EU mostly based in racism. Yet still we can’t do racism like the USA can!
