Don't Need The "N" Word Anymore - Cornell students using ‘Trayvon’ as a racial slur

Cornell students using ‘Trayvon’ as a racial slur

Sophomore student Beverly Fonkwo was walking home with her friend when a group from the fraternity group’s house began to throw items at them. When Fonkwo and her friend asked them to stop twice, Fonkwo said the group continued to toss the objects and responded by saying, “Come up here, Trayvon” and other racial comments.

“I feel like it was targeted and racially motivated, we felt very threatened,” Fonkwo told the Daily Sun. “Meanwhile, the assailants were just laughing at the whole situation until we called the police and then they ran inside.”

Specially guys. Those that declared that now there is no more racism, cept from racepimps on the left, said plainly that now they felt they could legitimately use the N word. And would continue to do so until Blacks stop first.
