Petition Launched To Cancel Kamala Harris Roast At USC

Thousands believe a planned comedy roast of Kamala Harris at USC could promote “white supremacy.”

Thousands have signed a petition to get a planned Kamala Harris comedy roast canceled at the University of South Carolina (USC).

Given the event’s two guest speakers, petition supporters believe the roast could promote “white supremacy” on the campus. Citing the school’s creed, the petition calls out the university for seemingly going against its doctrine by hosting the event.

“Yet, this event directly contradicts with this creed and encourages the use of racism, homophobia, and sexism by a student-led organization on campus,” the petition states.

Former state lawmaker and USC Law School alumni Bakari Sellers posted the event flyer on X, formerly known as Twitter, last week to demand “accountability” from the university for allowing the roast to take place.

The petition notes the grievances minority groups at USC have expressed to school officials that have seemingly gone ignored while calling out the university for allowing the controversial roast to take place on the campus.

USC officials responded to the backlash, saying the school is not sponsoring the event and claims the student group has the right to hold it. Uncensored America Founder Sean Semanko has described the event as “a fun, lighthearted comedy show where we bring some joy to campus.”

The roast remains scheduled for Sept. 18 and is free to the public to attend.
