Jerome K. Jackson is a 54-year-old black man and he was just was charged with writing disgusting racist comments on the walls of Salisbury University in Maryland between October and February of this year.
He wrote the phrase: “It’s hang a N***er month” all over the walls and caused a massive uproar at the college.
Prior to Mr. Jackson being identified, the school was in a panicked frenzy thinking some evil “white nationalist” was lurking about spewing awful hate.
But that wasn’t the case…it was this very disturbed black man, whose lawyers sayS he did it just to “spark a discussion about race.”
Yeah, okay, buddy….sure bet.

Before Jackson was identified, university President Charles A. Wight penned a message to the university community calling the culprit a “coward” and cancelling classes “to give us all the opportunity to come together to process what we are experiencing, support each other, and figure out how we can move forward together as a community.”
Wight added, “I know these crimes have frightened members of our campus community, particularly Black and Brown students, faculty and staff. I am appalled by these vile acts which are not welcome on OUR campus and do not represent our values.”
Upon hearing the news that Jackson was identified, student Abiodun Adeoye told WMDT, “I don’t want people to get this idea that since that man wrote that, and he was a black person, ‘Well, anything that happens now, you African-American people can’t criticize white people about race.'”
ackson opted to not speak when he was sentenced two weeks ago, WMDT-TV reported in a separate story, but his attorney had some theories regarding the motivation behind his client’s actions.
“To start a conversation about race at SU, their practices, their admissions, the way the institution is run, and to bring those issues to the forefront,” Richard Brueckner speculated to the station, adding that his theories didn’t come directly from Jackson.
Students at the school don’t want Mr. Jackson to be incarcerated for what he did. They think that would be “racist.”
Good lord.
This story comes on the heels of the Bubba Wallace fiasco, where he accused some “Nascar” person of placing a noose in his garage.
It was a noose. The FBI determined it was a “garage door pull.”
