Ring camera video shows women making racist gestures outside Ole Miss student’s apartment
OXFORD, Miss. (WMC) - A disturbing video circulating on social media is drawing attention across the Ole Miss campus after women were caught on a Ring doorbell camera making racist gestures outside an apartment where three Black students live.
The video belongs to the daughter of Tasha Bolton, who contacted Action News 5 about the incident.
Bolton’s daughter is an African American freshman at the University of Mississippi. She shares the off-campus apartment with two other Black roommates.
In the video, three women can be seen walking past the apartment’s front door. As they pass, two of the women appear to make monkey noises.
The video went viral Saturday after being shared on social media, prompting reactions from students and visitors in Oxford.
Sophomore Olivia Landgreve, who does not live at the apartment, said she was upset by what she saw.
“I like to think that people don’t see me like that. You know, I’m just a person like everybody else is. Very upsetting to think that maybe people are thinking other things while they’re looking at me while I walk on campus,” Landgreve said.
