Current Events > 18 y/o Black Kid has NO REGRETS on DESTROYING a BLONDE Girl's LIFE!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

18 y/o Jimmy Galligan from Virginia says he has NO REGRETS on sharing a video of a blonde cheerleader classmate 19 y/o Mimi Groves after she said the N-WORD when she was 15 and said "I can drive, n-word" in which the embarrassing clip forced her to WITHDRAW from her dream college and destroyed her life!!

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?

tell that to the dumb fucks trying to "reclaim" it and keep it alive

kids just a genuine piece of shit. wouldn't want this **** working for you.

No.

Case closed. Don't be racist.

I feel like need to see the video with context because it sounds like said it with an at the end when she was 15. Probably just picked it up from her black friends just saying the word all the time. In conclusion, this is really fucking dumb

Said something stupid, awful and ignorant at 15. A few years later, apparently has matured a little bit and supports BLM?

May she rot in hell!

Let her burn.

Yeah this. It wasn't teaching her a lesson. It was a holier-than-thou-spiteful act.

He could have confronted her with that and told her why it was wrong. Now had she responded with a racist insult or ignored him or whatever else then fine, release the video.

But not even attempting to educate her? And then saying you taught her a lesson? Nah, not how it works.

Just think of the dumb shit you have done when you are 15. This guy hanging it over her head for FOUR years is just vindictive. I thought context mattered.....

For a guy whos been repeatedly moderated for racism you really shouldnt be talking.

I think the people saying fair next didnt read the whole story

She was fighting alongside Black Lives Matter when he released the video

This was years ago and she apparently had grown since then. She had gone from being a racist to fighting for racial equality. I have never said thr n word in my life and I think you shouldn't say it. But I also don't think a life should be ruined over saying it 1 time as a kid and then stopping being a racist

Zoomers need to learn the adage "talk shit, get hit. "

---

Too bad she couldn't get off scott free, lol. I know ya'll are pissed.

---

Wait, so she marched for the BLM movement after Floyd happened? What racist would do that?

---

Video of a black kid saying racial slurs in a far more harmful context than this girl did would get way less attention in the news.

---

If you racists learn and grow from your "mistakes" as teens, why are so many you still racist as adults?

Punishing certain people is never the answer to you guys, ever apparently. Always need to be forgiven and treated with kid gloves.

It seems like that whole area/school was a toxic environment. She should've had a proper callout back when she said it than "incubating" it for years. 3-4 years later, she clearly changed from what I read and the initial incident was from ignorance/impulse from being young.

---

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.

Being an outspoken SJW is par for the course for many young girls. She'll go right back to her old self once she is done tasting the rainbow and decides to settle down.

I think everyone deserves another chance to a certain degree. It's not like this chick is a danger to society. She hasn't firebombed a police station or anything. Or bashed someone's head in with a baseball bat.

I'll keep posting this reminder; keep recording these Karens and these racists. Don't let their actions have no consequences

She's not in prison. She can do whatever she wants, but she might actually have to earn it this time.

Someone said something stupid as a teenager? What teenager hasn't said something stupid? This is so stupid, if it has been years and the person has grown up and no longer says the stupid things, why even bother?

My point is that people around here advocate for extreme acts of violence, but a teenage girl saying something dumb is totally unforgivable.

It's not worth ruining someone's life over

SJWs are pieces of shit

I don't think a black person should feel the need to feel guilty for exposing someone's past acts of racism, but I also feel this approach has no productive results if his intentions was to aid the BLM cause.

Also, her apology where she goes "I can't believe those hateful things came out of my mouth" before going on to look down on people for "judging her for a 3 second video clip despite having never met her" is such an insincere attitude. If she was really cut up about this, she would own up to it, say that she's genuinely changed for the better and working for more positive outcomes, and say sorry.

Like, she thinks she's in the right by saying "it's a three second clip that's being taken out of context, we should all love and support each other instead of tearing each other down like this online hate mob is doing!" - but that three second clip is of her saying the n-word. She doesn't get to play the victim here, because she should have known better and people aren't wrong to be calling her out for her hypocrisy.

The starting point of a good apology would be something like "I said the word as a teenager, it was wrong, and I'm sorry. I've worked towards bettering myself, and I genuinely hope to further causes that empower the disenfranchised like BLM in the wake of the George Floyd death". The fact that she's going "why is everyone being so mean to me over a 3 second clip?" scans as her just being sorry she got caught, and the language she does use in regards to the language she used - "I can't believe the hateful things that came out of my mouth" - is a bunch of cop-out faux-woke horseshit. She knew what she was saying.

There is a large portion of Western society that refuses to take any responsiblity at all for their words/actions. Society allows this to continue. If this person was in a different demographic, the repercussions would be much harsher.

Agreed. People are not able to change over time. That one mistake from childhood should haunt her forever /s.

All seems so stupid. Yeah, she said the n-word. She was also 15, an age where people expect you to do and say stupid shit from time to time. Did it not cross anyone's mind that she might have matured out of that mentality over the last few years? Nah, she said the bad word once years ago, so she must be a terrible person forever.

The worst part is the guy patting himself on the back like he just took down a klan member or some shit. "If I never posted that video, nothing would have changed." Yeah, a normal person would've got to keep going to that school. How horrible.

Yeah, but she's a kid. She said a dumb thing, but her life isn't "destroyed."

It is funny how people on here are basically calling for her life to be ruined over saying a word when she was young. However when a young person that is 15 kills someone those same people say that person is too young to have their life ruined by going to prison.

You're right. But apparently she was kicked out of her school over it. I'm not following the topic too closely, I just know that people get a kick out of considerably setting people's lives back over trivial shit. It's disgusting.

The guy who posted the video brought it to his school administrators when it happened, and they didn't do anything about it. She got off scot free for using racial slurs back when this happened.

By releasing this video, her acceptance to the University of Tennessee has been rescinded. She's almost certainly gonna be able to go to another college, just not her dream college.
