A black woman made no apologies for believing that lab equipment covered in a white sheet was actually a Klu Klux Klan rally.
Twitter user @autumpatrice freaked out over Twitter when she thought she spotted a KKK rally at Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
She posted a video that purportedly showed a blurry white shape in a classroom. Upon viewing, @autumpatrice immediately assumed that the white shape meant that the KKK was having a meeting.
WATCH:
There's been an ACTIVE KKK group in Bowling Green, OH since 1922. @bgsu @PresidentMazey soo, how does this promote diversity &a inclusion?? pic.twitter.com/bmoA66Rt0O

“I forget that there is an ACTIVE KKK GROUP HERE IN BG, OHIO,” she wrote in the caption, tagging the university’s president in the post. She also demanded to know how a KKK meeting “promotes diversity and inclusion.”
The college’s president, Mary Ellen Mazey, quickly reassured @autumpatrice that the university had looked into the matter. The blurry shape was not a KKK meeting but lab equipment with a white sheet covering it, Mazey explained.
Thanks for sharing, @autumpatrice. We looked into this. We discovered it's a cover on a piece of lab equipment. pic.twitter.com/plkQTBr9HC

@Autumpatrice made no apologies for her hasty gaffe, declaring that as a minority, she has “a right to be fearful.”
If ppl don't believe others that have actual issues that's on them. I'm a woman + a minority, I have every right to be fearful @ a PWI https://t.co/YIy3LcAqbO

“Baby if you were a minority and you thought u saw something like, you would’ve done something as well,” she defended, after Twitter users accused her of trying to start trouble.
