Black student speaks about hate crime

As graduate student Dorian Davis walked to his car after leaving Kilroy’s Bar and Grill, a car rolled up next to him. At first, he thought it was a friend of his. But then someone in the car threw a drink onto his jacket. Someone else called him the N-word.

Davis said first he was scared they might become more violent, then that he was angry at himself for not reacting. But mostly, he said he felt sorry the four people in the car thought that kind of aggression was acceptable.

“I’m from the South, so I thought I knew racism, but I’ve never had anything like this happen,” Davis said. “It made me want to go back home to North Carolina. But I eventually decided since it did happen to me, I needed to speak out and at least give people the chance to listen and change.”
