Racist Caller Leaves Offensive Voice Mail Messages at Simmons College of Kentucky

One caller left a message that said: “”Boy ya know, a few, me and a few of my upstanding white friends from the community would sure wish you would shut that nigger college down, ya know please tired of all you niggers starting problems with all the white folk around.”

The same caller left a similar message a couple of days later.
