Racist Ole Miss Student Alaina Kunes Issues a Public Apology

Alaina Kunes, one of the Ole Miss students who was captured on video walking past the apartment of a black female student making monkey noises and gestures at the door, has issued a public apology.

After her deplorable actions were displayed all over the internet and mainstream media, she is asking for privacy. Yea, good luck with that. You will be forever deemed a racist. Good for you.

There is no official word on what the university plans to do about this overt racism. Given that it is Mississippi, one of the most racially challenged states in the country, I honestly feel that whatever they do will not be enough.

Take the Poll: Dateline, 48 Hours or 20/20?

Let’s be honest: Dateline, 48 Hours, and 20/20 are the absolute GOATs of the true crime genre. I really can’t find anything to dislike about any of them, so I’ll just list a few of my favorite things.

Many true crime watchers, such as myself, love one or all three of these shows for various reasons but mainly because they investigate actual criminal cases, not fictional stories.

As a writer, I enjoy how these shows use investigative journalism to examine evidence and inconsistencies.

Ok Hustlers,

Hide your kids. I received this post via email and I was so disturbed by it that I had to warn others.

First off, let me just say that I don’t have kids—partly because of the creepy stuff going on in the world today. I’d literally be in jail about mine. I mention that because I genuinely get why parents want to post about their kids online. It’s a totally natural thing to do. However, one mom is finding out the hard way that sharing isn’t always caring, and it’s certainly not always safe.

Imagine this — the mother of a beautiful baby girl just discovered that her child’s photos were stolen. Even worse? They were uploaded to a TikTok account claiming to be an orphanage!
