University of Mississippi students taunt black female protester with racist monkey noises and 'Lizzo' chants in shameful clash at Ole Miss demo

University of Mississippi students taunted a black female protester with racist monkey noises and shouts of 'Lizzo' during a shameful clash with pro-Palestine demonstrators.

The predominantly white, male counter-protesters hurled abuse at the lone woman during the showdown on Thursday.

The female protester was on the pro-Palestine side of two dueling demonstrations when she was accosted by the rowdy pro-Israel protesters.

Video of the encounter was reposted by Republican representative Mike Collins, who appeared to sanction the ugly behavior by sharing it with the caption, 'Ole Miss taking care of business'.

The footage shows the woman filming as dozens of protesters scream, 'Lizzo' and 'f*** you fat a**' at her.

She defiantly gives them the finger and steps out from behind a barrier to film at a closer range.

As she approaches, the men including one student dressed in stars and stripes overalls, continue to shout and scream at her.

At one point a security guard inserts himself between her and the baying mob, ordering her to go back to her side.

The camera pans to reveal a man in a blue shirt jumping up and down making monkey noises at her.

As they continue to holler more security guards arrive to try and maintain space between them.

Shouts of 'lock her up' then begin echoing across the courtyard as the woman is ushered away in front of the smirking crowd. 

'Statements were made at the demonstration on our campus Thursday that were offensive and inappropriate,' a university spokesperson told TMZ.

'Any actions that violate university policy will be met with appropriate action.' 

The protester held her ground and filmed the baying mob as they screamed abuse about her weight

The clash came as dozens of pro Palestine protesters gathered to condemn Israel's bombardment of Gaza in the wake of the October 7 attacks.

The group was demanding the university be transparent about its links to Israel and divest from companies profiting from its war on Hamas. 

However, the activists quickly found themselves outnumbered by counter-protesters who screamed 'terrorists' over their shouts of 'Free Palestine'.

The altercation became so heated that the pro Palestine protesters had to be escorted by police into a building before being bussed away.

Cops confirmed they managed to disperse the crowd with no injuries or arrests. 

The demonstration was just one of several taking place at colleges across the country in recent weeks.

Encampments for Gaza which popped up at Columbia University in New York City as well as UCLA were dispersed by police after students defied orders to leave.

A settlement is still standing at the University of Chicago where students have issued lists of supplies required to allow them to keep camping.

The clash was the latest example of unrest following Gaza solidarity demos on campuses. Pictured: California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers detain a protestor while clearing a pro-Palestinian encampment after dispersal orders were given at UCLA on May 2, 2024

Administrators at Rutgers University in New Jersey managed to strike a deal to end an encampment there after four days.

More than 2,000 protesters have been arrested at campuses across the US in recent weeks.

Demonstrations have cropped up at more than 76 institutions, prompting the president to call on Americans to condemn the ‘alarming surge of anti-Semitism’ on college campuses and elsewhere.
