On one hand, maybe she had changed for the better.

On the other hand - she shouldn't have said the word in the first place, the video was taken to school administrators at the time and they did nothing, and I would imagine that it would be very frustrating to see a popular girl who's never faced consequences for racist wrongdoings using her platform to do a full 180 and capitalise on a movement that her prior behavior is counter to.

Even if her intentions were good, I feel like it would have felt cheap, like she was clout-chasing with no actual conviction or solidarity with black people considering how she used slurs for them as a trendy saying.

She was 15, an age where you understand the concept of racism, and she used a racist word in a video that she sent out to other people as a celebration of her being allowed to drive. This video was taken to school administrators by a black student who was uncomfortable that this cheerleader was using racial slurs, and they did nothing about it. Years later, the same student who threw racial slurs around posted about George Floyd and how dangerous it is to be black in America and how much prejudice they face, despite her prior actions contributing to the racist culture that disenfranchises black people. So the same guy who saw her get off scot free last time posted video of her saying a racial slur.

She didn't face consequences at the time, and now she is. She's still gonna get a college education, and she was called on something justified. I have no sympathy for her.
