Thaddeus Pryor, a junior at Colorado College, was barred from stepping foot on campus for six months for a social media post, the Colorado Springs Gazette reported.
On the social media app Yik Yak, a post read "#blackwomenmatter." Pryor responded with, "They matter, they're just not hot."
Pryor says he immediately regretted his remark. “I was ashamed, because some people were clearly upset,†Pryor told The College Fix. “So I deleted it.â€
But the damage had already been done. The next day the student center was filled with banners of many of the racial comments posted to Yik Yak — including Pryor's post.
Pryor went before the school's student life disciplinary panel where he was accused of posting almost all of the offensive posts, The College Fix reported.
Yik Yak is an anonymous social media app that lets people post, or "yak," to people in a 10-mile radius. Pryor admitted to the school's administration that he was behind the post about black women, but said he was not the author of any of the other posts.
The school initially suspended Pryor for 21 months, lessening the sentence to six months after his request for an appeal. However, the school refused to give him a new hearing.

Both the original statement and the reaction to it raises silly season to a new absurd level.
"What choo say, fool?"
Stupid, yeah. However it’s not really hate speech. An absurd overreaction by the school.
People don’t even remember what real racism looks like. Instead they have to go looking for it with things like “micro-aggressions”.
Anonymous????
I’m amazed people still believe in anonymity. Unless you’re using super complicated encryption, all electronic data is tracked.
What the hell are we gonna do when every person in the U.S. has been banned? Start all over again from the beginning? I don’t know which pile of liberal bull**** is the most obnoxious. Banning someone, political correctness or their race card.
Ha! Nice pic.
Thaddeus. He’s a black dude? Crazy.
That picture reminds me of Sesame Street. “One of these things, is not like the other.”
That’s his opinion, so he get ps suspended for six months? What is this world?
Halle Berry is half black by her dad and half white by her mom. There are lots of mostly black women who are hot. And like many women of all the various racial descriptions; there are many who are not. A word to the wise. Never tell a woman that she is not attractive. And there is no such thing as annomous. And of course, freedom of speech is only for the Marxist types.
Pretty much the same equipment, but two out of three of them aren’t an Abrams tank.
Someone lost their yeti.
Heterosexual black women and gay black men must also be suspended.
Chilling.
She may be A/A or negro but one thing she’s not is black.
