Black freshmen students at President-elect Donald Trump’s alma mater were subject to messages of hate on Friday, via a seemingly deliberate and targeted verbal attack via social media.

According to the Daily Pennsylvanian, the campus newspaper for the University of Pennsylvania, first-year African-American students were added to a GroupMe message room where inflammatory messages were shared.

According to Huffington Post, which cited a student on campus, the name of the group chat had been changed throughout the day from titles like “Trump lovers” to “Trump is love,” with usernames that were variations on “Barack Obama” and “Trump disciples.”

On Friday afternoon, the school’s top administrators sent a letter to the campus community condemning the messages.

Sadly, it will continue and become far worse.

A number of black freshmen at the University of Pennsylvania on Friday received multiple messages via a mobile group messaging application containing graphic racist imagery and racial slurs.

The students were added to a GroupMe account titled “Mud Men” that contained “violent, racist and thoroughly repugnant images and messages,” the university said in a statement about the incident. The school added that it is still trying to determine how many students had been targeted .

GroupMe is a mobile app in which users can add people to a group chat and then send them photos and messages; the UPenn students were added to the racist group without their consent. It remains unclear how those responsible for the group obtained the contact information of the freshmen, and university officials declined to comment on the matter.

Screenshots of the group chat posted to social media show a series of vile messages, including a photo depicting lynchings with “I love America” written below it. Another message came in the form of a calendar invitation to a “Daily lynching” event set to Friday’s date, with a statement reading “Never be a n****r in SAE,” a college fraternity. The profile picture for the group, which appeared to have been altered, showed an African-American man wearing an orange prison jumpsuit.

yes, he said he has a great relationship with the Blacks

and what about the Latinos and Muslims?

and what about his alleged connections to KukluxKlan?

Hoping those minorities who believe in Trumps help can take a bitter pill and still say he is a good man and better POTUS.

You have my empathy

Trump has no link to the Klan. Hillary does. You might not be left, but you get your news from left sources. Trump wants to deport criminals who are here illegally. And he never said he would send Muslims away. He wants a TEMPORARY ban from countries that sponsor terrorism, in particular, Syria. With terror acts becoming common place, that's prudent. In both cases, it has nothing to do with race or religion.

how do you know what sources i consume or not? Are we married?

and i thought one of trumps advisors is a KKC or something?

i do know that he said that and i do know what consqequences that would bring- refugees, running away from genoicide (since NOT everyone from the Middle East is a Sunni Muslim) would receive no asylum; not to mention the MILLIONS of arab students and businessmen...(i meant sending away from entering the U.S.)
It's inhuman and not practiable

also, sending away millions of illegals is not practicable. That's just blabla.

Lies. If you are trying to claim because (as I previously saw here before you edited) Hillary complimented Robert Byrd that she has "ties" to the Klan, you're just lying. Robert Byrd quit and disavowed the KKK in the 1950s while Hillary was still in grade school. Anyone can read wikipedia or Byrd's biography for themselves.

There is a hoard of white supremacists and white nationalist groups that have endorsed Trump. Anyone can look this up for themselves. Wikpedia. Mother Jones. News Outlets.

Its one thing to see in this time of confusion persons cannot immediately tell a protest from a banner or other symbolic statement, and that some claims of attacks have been false. It is another to keep your head in the sand about the persistent support and enthusiastic endorsements Trump got from every corner of organized bigotry.

Trump and his supporters have to continue denying or deflecting such accusations because there is substance to them. They hide behind the new 'alt-right.'

Look, I voted for Pat Buchanan in the 1988 primaries. I was 'alt-right' before there was such a term. I knew I'd made a mistake and had to rethink things when I found out a few years later that Buchanan was a denier of holocaust facts. White nationalism comes in all forms, even the nice face kind, which racists are perfectly happy to do their bidding.
