Oberlin student tells police that months-long campaign of racist signs, graffiti ‘was a joke’
A male student at Oberlin College admitted to police that he is responsible for a series of racist, antisemitic, and anti-LGBT incidents at the traditionally progressive institution. The student's campaign began on February 5, 2013, when an unnamed female student complained to the Oberlin College Safety and Security Office that someone had posted on her door a flyer with a link to "OBIETALK.COM," which led to a site containing offensive comments about the unnamed female. At the time of the incident, she stated that she believed two students -- including the one who later confessed his complicity to police -- responsible for posting the flyer on her door. One week later, the same female student found another flyer on her door that read "CELEBRATE N****R HISTORY MUNF! RAPE A WHITE WOMAN!"
