I hate to say this, but I would not be surprised if this is a false flag hoax or just some stupid prank.

For the second day in a row, several historically Black colleges and universities received bomb threats Tuesday, resulting in shelters-in-place and canceled classes as authorities swept campuses looking for devices. No explosions have been reported.

My husband, a graduate of one of those colleges, said the same thing. Sadly, I would not be surprised at all if you are both correct. HBCUs tend to be totally off the typical white nationalist’s radar, as it is not something that generally impacts nonblack’s lives in any manner.

2nd day ? I didn't even hear about the first day ?

And with so many false set ups I'm not quite believing this.

It's a hoax until it's demonstrated that it isn't.

If we've learned ANYTHING about events such as this over the last several years, it's that they're EXCEEDINGLY rare. The hoaxes, however, are quite common.

Calling in a bomb threat is a far cry than calling to ask if you have Prince Albert in a can. Once the identity known, the FBI should go public with the name of the culprit and fully charge them for the crime.

Perhaps in Nova Scotia you do not have hoax hate crimes. Unfortunately, here they are far too common. It is fool hearty to jump to any conclusions.

Did Jesse Smollett call it in? Maybe Whoopi Goldberg?

Apparently there were also threats on January 5.

And there is no information other than "schools received threats."

Every media outlet is running the same script.

Has fake written all over it.
