School should stay it of it. Didn't happen on school grounds, wasn't posted on school computers.

Talk about an over reaction, though.

The kid is an idiot. If he wanted to make the joke just to the chick he should have. Posting it for everyone to see was very dumb. Whatever happens as a result will hopefully teach him a lesson.

I've been wondering that myself for awhile, but I don't want the reason I stopped coming to this site to be because of feckless keyboard kommandos. This fucking website needs to police itself better.

It sounds like the girl posted it, not the guy.

Still ****ing dumb though.

Then maybe the lesson he'll learn is, if you don't make it, or say it, or send it, it can't be used against you.

I just hope he learns something from this and matures.

How is it not?

He seems to be standing near a cotton field and making a weirdly distasteful jokish promposal referencing the historical context of that location.

I get why people would find it offensive, but I'm not seeing how its racist.

What a weird response. But let's look at your response. "He was referencing a historical thing that happened."

What do you want to happen to him?

Do you want him thrown in jail? Diploma forfeited? In school suspension? Not being able to go to the prom?

People have the freedom of speech. The school really shouldn't have anything to do with this given it didn't happen on campus and assuming it's a public school.

No, and he isn't being excused. There's already a big to-do over this. There's no danger of him getting away scott-free with this social faux pas at this point. You gotta watch what you say in public. That's life. He's young and it's a learning experience for him.

It reminds me of a too-soon joke, you know like after some death or calamity... how soon is it okay to make a joke in reference to something? There are no clear-cut delineations. If some based black people see this and chuckle because they don't let it bother them and move on, would you guys be blaming them too?
