Ole Miss Student Mock Black Palestine Protester With Monkey Noises

A shocking video revealed a white student counter-protester at the University of Mississippi racistly mocking a Black protester by making monkey noises at her during ongoing Palestine solidarity demonstrations. The confrontation captured by Stacey J. Spiehler who explained that the counter-protester dressed in a pale blue t-shirt was jumping up and down, hooting like a monkey toward a protester who was live-streaming on her phone.
The guy who made the monkey noises identified as JP staples.
Referring to Black people as monkeys is a known racist trope dating back hundreds of years and used to justify slavery and Jim Crow law.
The video surfaced as ongoing pro-Palestinian protests at multiple college campus across the nation continue over the Israel-Palestine war.
University of Mississippi Chancellor Glenn Boyce condemned the racist remark, stating discrimination and intimidation won't be tolerated.
