Black Freshmen At Upenn Woke Up This Morning To See This On A Message Group They Were All Added

 

The students woke up to find themselves targeted on a group messaging app with racial slurs and images of lynching.

The Daily Pennsylvanian reports that several black freshmen were added to a GroupMe message labeled “Mud Men” that was full of racially explicit content.
A member of that group posted an image of a lynching with the message
“I love America,” then followed up by creating an event called “Daily lynching.” In another group, called “Trump is love,” a person was called “a dumb slave” by another participant in the group, and a photo was posted of a red hat with the words “GRAB THEM BY THE P–SY!”
The university posted to its official Twitter account on Friday afternoon that said the GroupMe account in question appeared to be based in Oklahoma, and police as well as information security staff were working to find the exact location of the account. Staff in the office of the Vice Provost for University Life were in the process of determining how many students had been reached by the account.
