University of Alabama Suspends Pre-Law Student Who Threatened to Kill Black Peer

On Oct. 5 , a white University of Alabama student was suspended after launching a racial social media attack at a Black student protester.

According to WIAT CBS 42, pre-law student Ryan Parish called Jamal Commander racial epithets and threatened to kill him because he supported a protest on campus.

Commander tells CBS 42 that the incident occurred after Black Lives Matter activists protested the national anthem before last Saturday’s football game. While he admits that he was not physically at the game, he showed his support via Twitter. But his support was met with outrage and racially charged rhetoric.

In a series of tweets, Parish called Commander the n-word , a “p—-,”  and a “b—-” while he threatened to kick Commander’s “a–.”2016-10-06_1203-min

“I would ask him why did he say that. What made that hate brew up in him. What has he been into that would make him hate somebody,” Commander says.

The victim tells reporters that he wants Parish expelled or suspended before being alerted that the student would be suspended.

“He needs to face punishment for his actions.  What he did was uncalled for.”

The university has removed Parish from the campus and told authorities about the threats, per AL.com. However, there is no word of how long the suspension will last.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
