University Of Oklahoma Shocked To See GroupMe Group Called "N*gger Lynching"


Story out of Norman, Oklahoma:

Penn students and staff are in an uproar after black freshmen students were added to a GroupMe group titled “Nigger Lynching.”

A Penn staffer told Billy Penn the President’s Office “was blowing up” with calls from concerned parents. The staffer said the administration was in a meeting this afternoon to discuss a response to the GroupMe posting.

Penn spokesperson Ron Ozio said the GroupMe account appears to be based in Oklahoma.

In a statement released just after 5 p.m. on Friday, Penn President Amy Gutmann said university police and “information security staff” are trying to locate the source to see if any steps can be taken to block the account.

Mayor Jim Kenney condemned the racist group messages in a statement. He said he wanted the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations to investigate. Cont.
