‘The Girls Did Nothing Wrong’: Jake Lang Fuels Ole Miss Racism Controversy with Ape Mask
His videos intensified criticism as the university investigation continued and fundraising campaigns tied to the original racist Ring footage drew nearly $70,000.
- Far-Right influencer Jake Lang visited the University of Mississippi this week, posting videos of himself at a cafeteria and outside the apartment of three Black students to protest the "persecution" of white people.
- Following the Nov 6 incident where three students—Jakiyra Metcalf, Kaiyden Caldwell, and Victoria G. Johnson—were targeted by white women making monkey noises and racist gestures at their apartment door, the university's investigation remains ongoing.
- While fundraising campaigns for women linked to the video have raised nearly $70,000, 18-year-old Alaina Kunes publicly apologized on Nov 10, claiming she was "unaware of their race."
- In a separate video, Lang donned an ape mask outside the students' apartment, seemingly mocking the incident. He captioned his cafeteria video, "We just stormed OLE MISS UNIVERSITY Cafeteria."
- Previously, Lang made headlines after targeting the BET Awards and a Seattle cat festival. He frequently uses the term "Black fatigue," a concept originally coined by academic Mary-Frances Winters.
