Black Students at Goucher College held daylong protest after “I’m gonna kill all n****s” was found in a dorm bathroom

A racist threat and Nazi symbols were discovered a Goucher College bathroom and students have began protesting and demanding justice.

The threat was found in a dorm bathroom last week and sparked a daylong protest on Friday. An unidentified person allegedly wrote “I’m gonna kill all n****s” on the bathroom wall. According to the Baltimore Sun, the room numbers of students were written in the bathroom. The room number 104 was singled out and used for solidarity during the protest.

The bathroom in questioned is shared with three other dorms belonging to Black students. A student saw the graffiti and reported it to security CBS Baltimore reported.

Adam Jones, a junior philosophy major said “I thought it was a joke at first,” when he heard someone say “police.”

Jones said the knock was a safety check. “The whole point of her knocking on the door was to make sure I wasn’t dead on the floor,” Jones said. “It just kind of sunk in. Someone does want to kill me because of the color of my skin.”

In the past few years, racial incidents have occurred on the campus. College officials have responded to the incidents by installing and estimated 40 security cameras and implementing a “Race, Power and Perspective” requirement curriculum and recently completed a multi-year partnership with Baltimore Racial Justice Action.

JaVaunte Neumann, a junior majoring in political science, told the Baltimore Sun:

“I’ve seen white supremacy be tolerated. Now, students are angry. White supremacists are getting pretty bold now with Donald Trump as president. We are at the point where we can’t wait for the administration or Baltimore County Police.”

Goucher College released a statement on Twitter addressing the incident and the school’s next action to find the person who committed the act.

The school released a statement via Twitter addressing students and announcing its next moves to find out who committed the act.

A spokeswoman for the school Tara de Souza said in an email statement: “The College looks forward to working collaboratively with our students, to ultimately move forward from this incident, and work to create the just and equitable community which we aspire to be.”

The Baltimore County Police department has launched an investigation.
