A viral video showing people repeating the N-word has been viewed more than 900,000 times.
According to the Facebook account that shared the video, one of the individuals saying the racial slur for the camera is a Coastal Carolina University student.
The Sun News reached out to the account for more information but did not receive an immediate response.
In the video, multiple people who don’t appear to be Black repeat the N-word while prompting another to join in. The Facebook account alleged the people in the video, “decided to maliciously send this video to a biracial student” at a South Carolina high school.
“The intention behind the video was to hurt and harm the bi racial student as well as encourage others to inflict the same pain over and over again,” the caption says.
“Coastal Carolina University is aware of a social media post that has drawn concern within the campus community,” the school said in a statement. “Any reports of alleged violations of the Code of Student Conduct are referred to the Dean of Students Office and are reviewed in accordance with University policies.”
The university would not confirm whether any of the individuals involved are students, saying it doesn’t disclose information related to specific reviews conducted by the Dean of Students Office, consistent with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
The Coastal Carolina University Black Student Association took to social media to publicly condemn the behavior in the video.
“The use of the N-word is not harmless, casual, or excusable. It is rooted in a long history of racism, violence, and the dehumanization of Black people....We are calling on Coastal Carolina University to take clear and meaningful action. That includes addressing this incident directly, holding those involved accountable, and implementing stronger measures to educate the campus community about the impact of racist language and behavior,” the post says.
