Posted in the African American Group

Three historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have been targeted with threats to their campuses.

Virginia State University and Alabama State University have closed their campuses, while Hampton State University has cancelled all classes until 12 September, and advised students living off-campus to enter school grounds.

None of the universities provided further details of the threats in their statements.

I was going to cross post over here.

You might want to add Posted in the African American Group before the Body of your post. That helps me make decisions as a Group Host on behavior in response to your OP./

They can.

And I don't care if it is EXTREMIST to write that here. We KNOW what they are capable of. We know how their parents and grandparents behaved.

We are always the target for their hate even when the picture of the perp looks like them. Check out the picture of the person of interest.

If indeed that's the person who did it . . . at the order of the cabal.

It might be another crazy white boy who didn’t like him asking for the Epstein files or it might be a very convenient distraction from the files and the Russian invasion of Poland.
