NORFOLK, Va. - Old Dominion University Police are investigating a hateful video circulating online.
A spokesman for the school told News 3 that the school learned of the video Tuesday morning. The video is full of racial slurs, with offensive, vulgar text and a person wearing an ODU sweatshirt singing music with lyrics about "white power."
The video also shows a person wearing a mask and a t-shirt that says, "My President is White."
Tuesday afternoon, ODU issued the following statement:
Edmonds told News 3 as a leader on campus she sees a lot of things, but never something to this level.
She also wonders what would trigger such a hateful video.
"This was shocking, I had very few words when I first looked at the video, merely brought me to tears," she said.
The ODU NAACP tweeted that they would offer a safe space for students to discuss the video Tuesday night.
President of the ODU NAACP, Montae Taylor, said he was not angry when he saw the video.
"I felt bad, you should never have that much hate in your heart ever. You can’t beat anger with anger ever, but responding with love is what always overcomes," he said. "Even the person that made that video, we love them as well because, you know, they need it obviously."
