The events that unfolded just two days ago on my truest-of-blue TSU campus left me disheartened, frustrated, and heartbroken. To witness perpetrators of hate step onto the grounds of an HBCU (specifically btw), NOT to build dialogue but to provoke, record, and broadcast a staged performance of division was a heavy reminder of the narratives that they seek to push.
These individuals don’t come to just simply “talk” or “debate”. They come with their beliefs ALREADY cemented, intent on justifying a worldview that thrives on exclusion. Their goal isn’t conversation, it’s confirmation and justification of their own hostility.
That is why, in this piece, I placed them behind their booth with signs stripped of their coded language. Between them looms the ghostly silhouette of klan hoods because their rhetoric is far from new. It echoes the very patterns and ideologies once and STILL preached by hate groups like the kkk and the proud boys, rooted in eugenics, white supremacy, and the determination to dehumanize those who don’t fit their mold. In the blink of an eye, yesterday’s hood and burning cross become today’s “debate” and “modern-day conservatism”.
However, we will not stay silent in the face of overt or covert injustice in whatever form it may come in. I am SO proud of the students of TSU because despite the struggles we face daily, we dedicate ourselves to learning, creating, and contributing to the world and NOT to entertaining strangers who come on college campuses only to sow hate.

maga dude on the right should prob carry his birth certificate.
Why in gods name would you come to an HBCU to do this? Oh wait, I know why.
i dumped some (cold) coffee on cam higby a while back. i suggest others do the same
Wish they would go talk to a therapist.
We all belong here, we all deserve to live.
You captured their hideous likenesses perfectly!
“I deny your value as a human. Let’s chat!”
These guys wanna inherit Charlie’s right wing empire soooo bad
You just don’t see people throwing eggs anymore

These people are undeserving of any respect
Piss disc and fart spray is an excellent counter argument
So good, nailed it
don’t give them a platform. stop posting about them.
Hiding behind livestreams and camera’s. Weak
They went to a HBCU deliberately. They are empowered to be as offensive to black and brown people as they “feel” like being. It’s their version of pretend debate lynching where they claim all the debating skills despite having none.
Love your Art and what you are saying. Thank you
Careful not to twist the meaning of their message
You can’t debate the validity of someone’s fucking existence.
You all are absolutely ridiculous. Cool art but the dudes are literally just trying to talk. Violent actions are actually being suggested in this thread. No decency. Comparing KKK cross burning to on campus debate is absolutely insane and deranged. You’ve completely lost the plot.
These are the grandsons of the people who oppressed my ancestors. I’m not even surprised.
These two clowns are just looking to become famous in the Right Wing Grift-o-Sphere… And the two fastest routes to that are: Being blatantly anti-black and having a story of victimization (getting thrown off a black campus).
“I don’t know why I’m being attacked when all I wanted to do was have a “debate” telling us that we are subhuman and don’t deserve any rights or human decency.”
Not sure if you named the piece yet, but I’d like to offer up this one: “Hatred with a Smile.”
It’s always the ugly ones
“Fearless debates”
two cinderblocks would deter them
wakanda sounds soooo great rn. im not gonna beg to live in naziland. yall can have it. youll just turn on each other anyway
They came there to incite a violent act with their rhetoric
Look at Thier smiles. They aren’t there to have a reasoned debate, they’re just trying to give fuel to the fire.
Fucking cowards.
They are welcome to attend an HBCU, if they want. But we know that’s not what they want. They want to only have the opportunities for education for themselves and deny that for others. It’s all about white control and power, not sharing, merit, and equal opportunity.
People need to stop being baited into these lectures. Because it’s not a debate. They have their talking points and data due to months of research which they’re hoping you didn’t do as a way to seem more educated in the debate.
If they cite data and you don’t – you lose. If you have data and become impassioned at the rage bait they spew – you lose.
You can’t reach across the aisle and try to educate in good faith, when the argument itself is not in good faith. It’s time society lets this type of rage bait just die out by ignoring them. No pictures, no posting online at how dumb they are just ignore. Society makes certain things irrelevant all the time just due to lack of interest. We should show grifters the same type of indifference.
Pick a team tribalism in politics and outrage marketing is ruining our country.
Love this piece
I wish ppl would just ignore these losers, starve them for content
I wish I would debate with a whitesupremacist 😂 run them off the campus every time. There’s no discussion to be had😤
So edgy, these gomers trying so
Hard to keep the podcaster’s memory alive even though his widow is laughing it up on the grift circuit
I really appreciate how much effort they put into those signs… 3rd grade skills of penmanship and debate
