He said he was in history class at Heritage High School last year when he got a text from a friend that showed then 15 y/o Mimi Groves using the slur in a 3 second snapchat clip He flagged the clip to teachers and admins but they did not do anything so after feeling frustrated, he held onto teh clip until he thought it was the right time to post it...and June of this year was that time after graduation and the George Floyd protests was when he did He said "I wanted to get her where she would understand the severity of that word. If i never posted that video, nothing would have happened. I'm going ot remind myself, you started something. You taught someone a lesson" The video originally circulatd among some students there but it didn't cause much stir as it was used regularly in the classrooms and hallways. Mimi was a championship winning cheerleader who wanted to go to the University of Tennessee and was on a cheer team that reigned national champions and was accepted in May But after the fallout of the George Floyd shooting, she made a public post on instagram to protest, sign the petition, rally and do something to help Black Lives Matter movement One person who she didn't know posted "you have the audacity to post this, after saying the n-word" Her confusion quickly turned to panic as friends began calling her and telling her what was being posted That was when Galligan released teh video from 4 years ago and her world began to crumble People demanded the University of Tennessee rescind their admission as teens across america were calling each other out their past racist behaviour a Within 2 days, she was kicked off the team and was forced to withdraw from UT under pressure from admission officials who received hundreds of emails and phone calls An official said "They're angry and they want to see action". The University of Tennessee has received several reports of racist remarks and actions on social media by past, prsent and future members of our community" On Wednesday, they made the decision to revoke her admision In Groves case which occurred in one of the nation's WEALTHIEST school districts, students said racism had been long tolerated there and overlooked Muna Barry said "It was just always very uncomfortable beign black in the classroom" Galligan is bi-racial black/white and said he too was mocked by white classmates as one of his peers made threatening comments about muslims as well A report last year showed the school district documented a pattern of school leaders ignoring racial slurs Groves said at the time she didn't know the severity of that word at the time or the history and context behind it because she was so young and said she isn't using it as an excuse and said "It disgusts me that those words would ever come out of my mouth. How can convince somebody that has never met you and the only thing they've ever seen of you is that 3 second clip" Marsha Groves, her mother said the whole family is now suffering cause of her daughter's actions as it damaged their reputation Marsha says her daughter is targeted by a "mob" on social media for a mistake she made as an adolescent and said they rushed to judgement and it's going to affect her for the rest of her life She is now doing online classes at a community college while Calligan is a freshman at Vanguard Groves said "I've learned how quickly social media can take something they know very little about, twist the truth and potentially ruin somebody's life" The 2 were ironically FRIENDS at one point but never spoken since One her friends who is black defended Groves and said "We're supposed to educate people, not ruin their lives because you want to feel a sense of empowerment" Do you think Mimi deserves another chance? https://i.imgur.com/6NvZin2.jpg https://i.imgur.com/wQrCZX3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Xbdpmuh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/irmgFCn.jpg https://i.imgur.com/BJR1KBL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ebA84ZQ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/9hdYwhs.jpg https://i.imgur.com/dVFREkb.jpg https://i.imgur.com/lApruvh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/hNKBFHo.jpg https://i.imgur.com/4hjFMaG.jpg --- The Users have Spoken.
