Tamelonie Thomas was one of several students removed from a recent Donald Trump rally at Valdosta State University.
But Thomas, a black VSU student, said the incident was not racially motivated.
"It was not racial," she said. "There was profanity and the entire group was taken outside because of the profanity."
A few of the students were dressed in all black clothing and were located behind the stage where Trump was scheduled to speak.
They were removed about 30 minutes before the Republican front-runner began his fiery campaign speech last Monday evening.
According to Thomas, some of the students talked to a representative from the American Civil Liberties Union later in the week about a possible lawsuit.
"I think they are more upset about the university president (Cecil Staton) not reaching out to them the next day and asking them how they were treated than they are about anything that happened that night," she said.
Thomas told the Valdosta (Georgia) Daily Times she does not think the ACLU has any reason to file a lawsuit and that she hopes all the talk about it dies down.
"Nothing happened," she said. "No one was arrested. No one was mistreated. Everyone was respectful."

Actually, that was a mature response from the student. When their radical elders send swarms of lawyers to change perceptions, it’ll be “Hands up, they shot me.”
I won’t call Cruz a liar, but he has surrounded himself with people of questionable character, and that says something.
Cruz went on national tv yesterday and intimated that the media was sitting on lots of shocking details about Trump that they’re saving for June or July. How can anyone not recognize this as just a variation of what he did to Carson?
Cruz now with the establishment, repeating lies, and with Beck shows me now that I made the right decision to switch my vote to Trump. The man runs on integrity, honesty etc and shows non of it when he gets desperate.
Nothing like how Trump attacked Carson ...
You switched from Hillary?
If you ever have the misfortune to be in the presence of high school age teens you will find out what levels of profanity permeate their conversations. It is almost non-stop sewer talk, girls and boys.
Was for Cruz, but since he has gone establishment and has acted the way he has then I am now for Trump
Conclusion...Ted's lying again.
Please list the “people of questionable character” who are working with Cruz.
Trump supporters of questionable character often make such allegations and should give proof.
So profanity is respectful?-)
This one is worse because now Cruzifer is making accusations out of thin air!
Go Trump Go!
There are a lot of dumb people who vote in our country, as evidenced by Obama, Clinton, Bush one and two, and now cruz.
“Was for Cruz, but since he has gone establishment and has acted the way he has then I am now for Trump”
BS.
Cruz has NOT gone ‘establishment’.
and ...
If you base your decision on the way one acts, you would NEVER go Trump over Cruz!
Tell you what, I will speak for how I feel and why I want Trump and you can live your life angry at the fact I and others here don’t want Cruz over how he acted and is part of the establishment.
” I and others here don’t want Cruz over how he acted and is part of the establishment.”
Whatever ....
Just that you can’t back up your emotions with facts.
Funny, I missed the part of the article that referenced Cruz. Why is it that those of you that support Trump, and that’s great, can’t avoid throwing slime at the other candidates.....even in in posts that don’t have a dang thing to do with them? If your candidate is so awesome and destined to win it all, why play these adolescent games?
