Racist video draws condemnation, is removed from YouTube
Updated 4:12 pm, Tuesday, February 21, 2017


NORFOLK, Va. (AP) A civil rights group and officials at Old Dominion University are condemning a racist video that was circulating online until YouTube removed it.

The Virginian-Pilot reports (http://bit.ly/2kWt5e6 ) that the video shows a white woman in an ODU sweatshirt using expletives and racial slurs in a rap rant against black people. The video is titled "White Gal - White Power."

YouTube posted on its website that the video had been removed Tuesday morning for violating the site's policy on hate speech.

ODU President John Broderick said in a statement that the "vile video" represents an act of hate and intolerance.

all faced hate in this country for one reason only, white racist hate based on skin color and white male shrinkage of testicular material in fear of a human being that faced all depravity and cruelty brought against him and his family and still stood and more than that, thrived. Nope, this cancerous hate won't end, ever. I base this opinion on precedent.
