Black Texas College Student Wakes Up To Cops With Guns Drawn After White Roommates ‘Prank’ Her With 911 Call
I am having doubts about this story. This girl MAY be clout chasing. I could be wrong.
A Black freshman at a Texas university woke up surrounded by law enforcement agents with their guns drawn.
Seventeen-year-old Stephen F. Austin University (SFA) freshman Christin Evans was the target of a cruel and dangerous prank known as “swatting,” the act of falsely reporting that someone is about to commit a crime. Officers sometimes respond to these calls with lethal force. On Sept. 14, police stormed Evans’ dorm after her three white roommates, along with seven others, falsely accused the teenager of brandishing scissors while threatening to stab other students, according to KPRC in Houston. The police later determined the girl was innocent after reviewing video footage. Evans says the roommates are racists.
A press conference regarding the incident was held on Monday. Randall Kallinen, a civil rights attorney, expressed his concern regarding what happened to Evans.
“Their daughter was sleeping and awoken at 3 o’clock in the morning by local police with flashlights shining out and their guns drawn,” the lawyer said. “This could have been a Breonna Taylor circumstance.”“They had falsely accused Christin of having scissors and threatening to stab people,” he said.
The girl’s mother, LaShondra Evans, said she wants justice for her daughter.
“I want justice. I want [the people responsible] to have consequences,” the mom said. “They played with her life.”Christin, who was in tears during the press conference, expressed how the situation destroyed her first year of college.
“I was looking forward to making friends and having a good time on the cheer team, but since this has happened, it’s made it really, really hard,” she said.
Her father, Chris Evans, who was visibly shaken, told the public that his only worry when his child went to school was that he’d be having to send her money or be concerned about her academic performance.
“Yes, we’re upset and we want something to be done about it,” he said. “When I sent my daughter off to school, my worse-case scenario was that she should call needing money or an issue with her grades.”Evans has since moved out of student housing, but is still enrolled in classes at the university. SFA President Scott Gordon released a statement regarding the racist attack on Evans some two weeks after drawing heat over his inaction.
The statement read:
“I have been briefed on the incident that took place on September 14th and want everyone to know that SFA takes this matter very seriously. Filing a false report violates the SFA Code of Conduct and potentially violates the law as well. The investigation and judicial processes take time. I want to urge everyone to withhold judgement until the conclusion of our investigation and process.
I have directed staff to be thorough and keep me apprised throughout this investigation.
Each perpetrator will be dealt with appropriately.
My heart goes out to the young lady who was an innocent victim in this matter. We will do all we can to support her and her family through this heinous ordeal.
We will not have this at SFA!”
Campus police say they are still investigating the incident. No action has been taken against any of the students so far.
Although SFA Police Chief John Fields appeared to drag his feet in response to bringing justice to the teen, he released a video statement saying, “a racially diverse group of students were involved in an incident involving a false report. The students will be held accountable for this at every possible level.”
A text message between an officer and the chief appears to ensure that there is no question of Evans’ innocence in the paperwork.
He questioned the vagueness “surrounding Christin’s innocence.”
Fields then asked for an updated report that framed, in detail, the cheerleader’s lack of involvement.
Ironically, the university’s namesake is known as the “Father of Texas,” according to the site Texas Beyond History. The city of Austin was named after the colonizer, who was instrumental in taking control of Texas from Mexico.
Austin was also the driving force behind the rapid growth of the slave trade in the state, even after Mexico tried to ban the institution.

BLACKHAIR MAGAZINE and the tail of the white model
“
We often ask PR companies/salons to submit images for the magazine, specifically stating that models must be Black or mixed race. We can only take their word for it,” the editor of Blackhair magazine said.
Why is it that we as Black and white people always have to question ones ethnicity? I must admit I have and do at times question folks on their ethnicity but it’s not to judge them it is because I am so interested in different ethnicities and backgrounds of people.This weekend Blackhair magazine was criticized for putting a white young model in a kinky haired wig passing her off as a light skinned black woman. Okay PR made a mistake the model Emily Bador wrote an apology on her IG explaining that she noticed that they used an old headshot of her when she was 15 she also explained why people would take offense to this.

Now from what I understand Emily Bador noticed her own picture of herself and contacted the PR magazine told them of their “error.” Then went on her IG apologize saying she is white and some of you still question her ethnicity?So with that comes social media debate of what is she?To me she looks like an ambiguous very light skinned black woman but she has told us that she is white and folks still want to tell her who she is. White people want to say she’s white or insist that she’s of European decent but isn’t white people of European decent?Black folks want to say she’s mixed or bi racial one parent is black they other is white. Others say she’s passing as white but she really a light skinned black.
“If I had known it was going to be published, I would never have condoned it. … I was never asked by the photographer/hair salon/anyone if this image could be used for the cover of Blackhair,” she said.
Black folks need to stop just stop if says she’s white then she’s white. How hard is that for you to except? The hypocrisy of it all if Emily Bador said she was a light skinned black woman you’d say she was white.As for you white people SOME of you just get under my dark skin dictating what we people of color are and who we are not. YES WE black folks do it for very different reasons. If you ask me we black people ask what are you? so we can identify with the parson so we can feel safe.
There was a time in the entertainment industry if you was of mixed race you wouldn’t be able to work so the bi racial person who was born with black daddy or mother would pass as white just to survive. This is the same for other perfusions these bi racial people just wanted to fit in some forgot their blackness all together just to belong.
We as a society are so obsessed with color until we don’t see color as problem within our world.
