Students suspended for mocking 'Black Lives Matter' with blackface Snapchats
Two US students were suspended after they created "offensive" blackface videos, which featured a woman twerking against a wall and mocking the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
The students, from Albright College located in eastern Pennsylvania, originally uploaded the videos to Snapchat but they have gone viral on social media.
The college's president Lex O. McMillan III has condemned the videos and said those responsible have come forward and "expressed deep remorse", ABC reported.
In the videos, one of the students is painted in blackface and told viewers her name was "Carlisha".
She then added padding to her pants, twerked down a hallway wall and mocked the Black Lives Matter movement.
"Black lives matter now, OK?" the student said. "F*** white people."
The student painted blackface and the other responsible for filming the acts have both been suspended and McMillian said the college will continue to investigate the "hurtful and offensive act".
"As we continue to investigate the matter, we have learned that multiple students of multiple races were involved," the statement read.
"We will continue to review the facts of the matter so that the most appropriate sanctions for those who took part can be determined."
