Racist fliers removed at University of Michigan!

The University of Michigan’s main campus in Ann Arbor Arbor was hit with racist postings at an academic building, authorities said. The incident came just a week after racist graffiti was spotted at neighboring Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti.

One flier is headed, “Why White Women Shouldn’t Date Black Men,” and details the supposed horrors visited upon the former group by the latter.

The second flier, with a stop sign in the middle, tells “Euro-Americans” to stop “apologizing,” “living in fear,” and “denying (their) heritage.” The bottom of the flier has the words “Alt Right,” and the words “Be White.”

The University statement read that, “While we continue to defend any individual’s right to free speech on our campus, these types of attacks directed toward any individual or group, based on a belief or characteristic, are inconsistent with the university’s values of respect, civility and equality.” “Amidst these challenging times, our core values can help ground our community.”

Andrew Martin, dean of the College of Literature, Science & the Arts, said that, “Their presence marred our physical spaces in Haven and Mason halls where we hold our classes and where our faculty and staff work, and are an assault on everything we believe in as a liberal arts college and as a diverse community,”
