University of Mississippi students make monkey noises and gestures outside a black neighbor’s door
Several students from the University of Mississippi were caught making monkey noises and gestures in front of their neighbor’s door, who is Black. The women were caught on Ring’s camera. Additionally, a video of the racist incident was shared by Jakiyra Metcalf on TikTok, and it went viral. Metcalf lives in an apartment building with her roommates Bethany, Kaiyden, and Victoria. The women were home when three white women walked in front of their camera on their way out of the centre. One woman looks directly at the camera and beats her chest as she shouts, “Ooo ooo ooo, ahh ahh ahh.” A second woman then looks into the camera and jumps up and down as she says, “Ooo ooo ooo.” A third woman laughs and the three walk away. It was reported that the women confronted each other but they said they did “That’s not so bad.” Metcalf shared the video with the caption:
“Ole miss?? what do we have to say about this?? …”
Metcalf later noted that the three women are upstairs neighbors.

Ole Miss publishes Statement
The University of Mississippi released a statement on Sunday, November 8. Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, Shawnboda Mead, EdD., write the statement. In addition, Ole Miss says it is taking the video seriously.
“Over the weekend, a video circulated on social media showing University of Mississippi students engaging in racist gestures toward other students,” it reads. “The behavior shown in this video is deeply disturbing, hurtful and unacceptable. We condemn the behavior because it does not reflect the values of our university or the kind of community we strive to be every day. Our staff has reached out to the students directly affected to offer support, listen to their concerns, and connect them to available resources. We will continue to support them as we work through this process. More broadly, we are committed to supporting you. Although student privacy laws limit what we can share about individual students, please know that this matter is taken seriously at the University of Mississippi.
