A Wisconsin college student seen spouting a torrent of racial slurs directed at black people in a video that went viral last month has finally delivered a groveling apology.
Audrey Godlewski became the center of a racial controversy after she told black people to ‘pick cotton in the fields until they die of thirst’ in the TikTok video.
The apology comes nearly a month after protests erupted by black students at the University demanding the administration to expel Godlewski.
Despite Godlewski’s widely-criticized comments, UW-Madison Deputy Vice Chancellor for Diversity and Inclusion LaVar Charleston said in a statement that the sophomore would remain at the institution citing freedom of speech.
Their bodies are going to dry out because of how much cotton they’re picking for me.’It remains unclear what led to the venomous rant or how it ended up online and ended with Godlewski and a friend laughing together.
After the video circulated online, protests from black students were made in a bid to acknowledge racial inequities. An online petition was launched that saw 65,151 signatures demanding Godlewski be expelled.
