A group of protestors were marching by Eastern Michigan University’s campus following a racist act that brought shame to the entire institution. Unfortunately, their demonstration was interrupted by another act of disrespect as a driver tried to drive their SUV through the crowd. 

The protestors were marching after it was found that someone had spray painted the letters “KKK” on a school building in red, white and blue, as well as the phrase, “Leave Ni**ers.”

Video footage captured by someone in another vehicle shows a Jeep making its way through the crowd as they stood in an intersection to stop traffic. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, according to MLive.

“The University strongly condemns such a racist and thoughtless act, which runs completely counter to the values and welcoming environment of our highly diverse Eastern Michigan University community,” said EMU President James Smith in a statement.
