According to their report, some of the language used by the vandals was too offensive to show on camera.One message was clear, however. Spray-painted on the sidewalk outside of a main campus building were the words  Build the wall  and  Deport them all.   #DonaldTrump  was also spray-painted on the walkway, along with the words  The Mexicans will pay for it.

The  ghetto-themed  party, organized by white students, was designed to make a mockery of Black history month.After a noose was found hanging from one of the buildings on campus, a student walk-out, accompanied by large scale protests on campus led to the declaration of a  racial emergency. In order to diffuse tensions, university officials accepted a list of 32 student demands presented by member of the Black Student Union.In the years since the  Compton Cookout,  students have routinely criticized campus officials for failing to live up the 2010 agreement.The rise of Donald Trump has led to an increase of similar racist activity at Universities across the country.Trump has lent his stamp of approval to hate speech and to the kind of race-hatred that is only expressed by hooded men, under the cover of darkness.Featured image via video screen capture CBS8
