Many were shocked and outraged when they viewed Ole Miss student Jakiyra Metcalf ‘s disturbing footage on TikTok and tagged The University of Mississippi in a video that went viral showing two white women making monkey noises and gestures as they walk past an apartment where Black students reside. The University of Mississippi immediately launched an investigation, one of the young ladies apologized and voluntarily withdrew from school. For the first time the black Ole Miss students are speaking about the incident and they have mixed reactions to what the white student chose to do after the fact.
White Ole Miss student Alaina Kunes is leaving Ole Miss following the backlash from the incident after apologizing and saying that her family has been receiving death threats. In a recent interview one of the black Ole Miss roommate said she believes Kunes made the right decision by withdrawing, adding that she needs some peace in her life.
However, the mother of another roommate had a different reaction. She explained that she never wanted Kunes to leave school because the decision could affect her future. She also reminded viewers that Kunes is someone’s child and only 18 years old.
