HBCUs receive threats

White conservative republicans, hard at work. As usual, and as expected.

[-]

PeaDesigner8268@reddit

HBCUs are historically Black colleges. It's racism.

[-]

Seauxregard@reddit

As the past has repeatedly proven, they most likely were called in by liberals. They can't stand not being the victim in every situation.

[-]

Most acts of political violence and threats are done by right-wing extremists. Plenty of evidence to back that up. Right-wingers on mainstream media and independent media are openly calling for war against the left, despite not knowing anything at all about the assailant. What you are saying is purely speculative and shouldn’t be entertained.

are you sure about that? facts say otherwise. where is your proof

IntrigueDossier@reddit

Awww where'd ya go lol. Can't dispute the evidence you were provided with?

All the extremist-related murders in 2024 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds, with eight of the 13 killings involving white supremacists and the remaining five having connections to far-right anti-government extremists. This is the third year in a row that right-wing extremists have been connected to all identified extremist-related killings. This trend has also been interrupted by the New Orleans attack.

I’m sorry this is happening. Probably knee jerk reaction to the shooting yesterday.

[-]

JBRifles@reddit

Knee jerk? Is there a non-knee-jerk time and place to call in fake bomb threats?

[-]

FormerNeighborhood80@reddit

There is no good time but people are definitely upset. Too many murders and too much bad news. Not a good time overall.

[-]

Macho_Chad@reddit

The incels are fueled up on uncrustables. No stopping them now

[-]

Gloom_Pangolin@reddit

Needing to piss will stop them. They won’t know what to do when they leave their basement and there’s no empty Mtn Dew bottles close a hand.

[-]

MrPBH@reddit

Hopefully if we cut off their tendies supply lines, we can starve them out.

SlightSurround5449@reddit

My initial thought was the combo of that and the train stabbing for the race angle.

[-]

FormerNeighborhood80@reddit

Jeez so many killings so fast it’s hard to keep up!

[-]

FanceyPantalones@reddit

I know you're right. But what is the direct line of reasoning to go after HBCUs, due to Kirk being shot? The only pic of suspect is white. Thanks for clearing up my ignorance.

[-]

JBRifles@reddit

Hate is all they have.

Racists in the south use the word Democrats to describe Black people instead of the N-word.

I wish I was kidding.

[-]

Styl3Music@reddit

Most accelerationists are racist.

[-]

MrPBH@reddit

Accelerator pedals are black. Checkmate Antifa!

[-]

Big_Fortune_4574@reddit

Shmucks!

[-]

Affectionate-Swim772@reddit

The picture shows the suspect as white because the suspect is a newborn baby that hasn't developed their final skin tone yet. /s

[-]

PeaDesigner8268@reddit

It's hard to rationalize their logic because there is no direct line or logic. Right-wing pundits, politicians, and commentators alike are declaring "war" on the left. They see these institutions as "woke" and leftist. Zeroing in on schools is an easy target for them because they represent a visible, highly educated ethnic group that threatens their limited world view.

Kamala Harris went to an HBIC.

blueteamk087@reddit

There is no logic. Fascism doesn’t operate on logic.

[-]

TwerkLessons@reddit

Because Kirk was piece of shit racist who pandered to the other racists in America. They hate black and brown people as their core, and they hide it behind Republican/political viewpoints.

Anyone who denies that Kirk was a blatant racist is fucking delusional.

[-]

Adventurous_Clue318@reddit

Someone mentioned the naval academy, lehigh (not hbcu) and several others I know of received threats and were locked down today. Maybe the racism is in the reporting because it's seems like a LOT of colleges and universities had threats today. Like a LOT.

[-]

PeaDesigner8268@reddit

Right, but we're talking about HBCUs right now as the title of the post clearly states.

[-]

redcoatwright@reddit

A white dude kills another white dude, ofc let's threaten some black kids at school............ jfc

[-]

PaulieHehehe@reddit

Now now, we can’t be too sure.

/s

[-]

thenamelessdruid@reddit

I could be wrong, but I'd guess this is a misguided 'retaliation' for Kirk getting shot yesterday. Granted, i don't have any evidence of that, but the correlation begs the question.

[-]

JBRifles@reddit

Can you be my parent? I love you calling bomb threats “misguided“

[-]

thenamelessdruid@reddit

I meant the people making the threats are misguided? probably not the best wording for the situation, but English is my 1st language, so I don't have an excuse. lol

[-]

JBRifles@reddit

I hear you, all good!

[-]

FormerNeighborhood80@reddit

Hadn’t thought of that. Lots of violence. Glad we are prepped.

[-]

HighPlains79@reddit

Probably a foreign source trying to incite more divisiveness.

[-]

AzureWave313@reddit

Literally

[-]

fchw3@reddit

Very likely.

[-]

GildedPlunger@reddit

It's not. Americans are racist. Particularly right wing ones. The shooting is being attributed to the "woke mob" and "woke" means "black". It's that simple.

[-]

HighPlains79@reddit

You’re proving my point. Calling Americans racist, blaming one political party, and equating “woke”with “Black” is exactly the kind of division these threats are meant to spark. They want us arguing instead of thinking.

[-]

Ricky_Ventura@reddit

No, this is what the Trump Admin has literally been running on for 10 years now.

[-]

GildedPlunger@reddit

Americans are racist overall. Many do good things despite that, but most people in this country carry racial biases. That's not a judgement. It's a useful observation if we all intend to work together. And I'm not equating "woke" with "black". Racists are equating "woke" with "black".

If you're intending to continue this "division" bullshit instead of calling bigotry what it is when you see it, you're going to get caught with your pants down when this shit gets really bad.

You need to be clear eyed about what's happening right now and you aren't.

[-]

HighPlains79@reddit

I said this could be foreign actors trying to stir disruption, and I stand by that. You call “Americans racist overall” an observation, not a judgment, then walk it back to “biases” and shift “woke means Black” onto racists, that’s contradiction, not clarity. And throwing in lines like “division bullshit” and “pants down” doesn’t make you clear-eyed, it makes you sound frustrated while trying to look wise and tough. Whether the motive is domestic hate or foreign meddling, the effect is the same. Division. And that is my point.

[-]

GildedPlunger@reddit

Good luck.

[-]

MrPBH@reddit

They (far right accelerationists) want to foment a race war. It's silly to suggest calling out that fact would help their cause.

Might as well stop telling people to use their seat belts, because buckling up means you're planning for a crash.

What do you suggest we do instead? Invite the fascists for tea and crumpets so we can have a civil debate on whether people of color can vote?

[-]

HighPlains79@reddit

I’m not denying racism, it exists and may very well be the motive here, and it should be called out. My point is that whether the threats come from racists or outside actors, the impact is the same: fear, disruption, and people fighting each other. That’s the division I was pointing to. And to the analogies: naming racism doesn’t cause division, agreed, but pretending the effect stops there misses the bigger picture. If we only argue about motive, we end up proving their strategy works.

There have been robocalling threats across the US at the beginning of the last two terms. Not sure if these are just being hit because everyone is or not. https://www.post-gazette.com/news/education/2025/08/28/college-hoax-shooting-swatting-west-virginia-university/stories/202508270101

Looking more and more like somone wanted to instigate conservatoves to go helter skelter.

[-]

avid-shtf@reddit

White guy shot another white guy at a majority white college in a majority white state and conservatives call in bomb threats to HBCUs in another state?

Makes so much sense.

[-]

The-Avant-Gardeners@reddit

The United States Naval Academy as well.

[-]

MushSee@reddit

Total sh/tshow. False threat got everyone jumpy, a midshipman attacked law enforcement thinking it was an active threat, then the officer fired on the midshipman.

University of Central Florida received threats today too.
