Detailed summary

An online fundraiser for an ‘Ole Miss student involved in a racist tirade against three black students had raked in $20,000 of its $50,000 goal as of Wednesday afternoon.

An Ole Miss student who allegedly doubled down on making monkey gestures when confronted by three black students has raised thousands of dollars in a fundraiser launched by a well-known troll.

The controversial GiveSendGo page created to support the blonde woman seen in now-viral Ring-doorbell-camera clip of the hateful behavior had raked in $20,000 of its $50,000 goal as of Wednesday afternoon.

“She did nothing wrong. She did not assault anyone. She did not break any law. She made noises in a public walkway. The rest is a campus bureaucracy and online mob treating a juvenile stunt as a hate crime because the residents were black,” reads a bio for the GiveSendGo, which was created late Tuesday by a self-proclaimed “independent journalist.”

The man who launched the fundraiser encouraged “segregation” and mocked a black Ole Miss student in social media posts.

His controversial GiveSendGo for the student “is to cover lost income or opportunities, and anything else required so she does not have to fold. No apologies. No ‘I didn’t know.’ No bending the knee.

“Donate so the next girl (or guy) who gets the same treatment has a reason not to issue the scripted statement,” the fundraiser proclaims.

The Post could not confirm the identity of the blonde woman in the video — though online sleuths claimed she is a 19-year-old from a suburb of Memphis.

The three black roommates revealed what their Ring camera did not capture that night, during their first sit-down interview with CBS Mornings on Wednesday.

“We actually went outside and tried to, like, approach them and get them to explain why they did that,” said Jakiyra Metcalf, who shared the clip on TikTok.
