which i can also agree with. I was just responding to why some people don't just say "he don't say that"...because "hey don't say that" has been tried for decades.

So you told her not to say it many years before she was alive to hear it. Probably why it didnt work.

Lol, they're mad that she didn't get away with this one.

Someone sent it to him.

The creep part seems to be that he held onto the video for a few years until he could use it to hurt her.

You used to be against petty incellish behavior so it's a surprise seeing you bat for such things now. Looks like your sad personal life is finally making you spiteful.

How am I pro incel all of a sudden? The guy seems bitter as hell and I won't defend him. I've only been talking about the girl and her behavior. Could've been her sister who exposed her and I'd still say the same thing

It was genius.

Like if she wasn't being malicious and she wasn't using the hard R, what exactly is the big deal here? This isn't like that one stupid chick who made a blatantly racist video on Tiktok with her boyfriend with the hard R written out. Sure, she shouldn't be using the other word in general, but the situation absolutely does not call for what happened lmao

Because white people dont get to tell black people how to be offended by the n word. I bet theres people out there who agree with you and theres black people who are offended. My mom never uses the n word and hates when i use it. I dont care if my friends say it but i wouldnt let a stranger say it to me.

People seem to forget that people we're still getting lynched 40 years ago. My mom remembers her cousin getting lynched. The word has different impacts for different people

This is an institutional failure more than a personal one. You had it ingrained in your entire ecosystem. She didn't. It's an example of the privilege disparity that still exists. More people need to be educated on it, but there are still a lot of ignorant kids out there. Again, institutional failures.

True, but ignorance is no excuse. It was 2016 not 1960. Even if racism doesn't affect you directly you should be smart enough to know what it is. BLM was around.

Surely this story will bring good fortune to Mr.Galligan.

But the other issue which furthers my disgust with his actions is that she was an active participant in supporting BLM after George Floyd's murder.

You have a white ally who fucked up years ago. You had this information and can see she's been active on social media supporting causes that fight systematic racism.

And you have this clip and decide "Ah ha! Now is the time to teach this racist a lesson". Then no. You lose me at that point.

If I see someone that said one racist thing to me in high school now posting about BLM and anti-racist messages, I'm going to DM them and privately discuss things. Really any other option is just malicious grandstanding.

So are teenagers children that don't know any better and can't consent to anything that adults can because they are to young or are they adults that should know better and should be punished for something stupid they did years earlier? Which is it CE? Because based on this and other threads I have seen it is glaringly obvious that many of you have a sadistic streak and just want to see people suffer.

I didn't read all that (about her not what you typed lol). In this case i 100% agree with you. My last post was still in general to the question asked i responded to.

Agreed. Racism didn't die all of a sudden in 2008 and was revived in 2016. The ignorant want to have to learn about history and culture outside of their own bubble if change happens. This is an institutional failure on many fronts.

SHE APPLOGIZIED FOR IT.

What the hell is the point in trying to do better if it's impossible to ever be forgiven? Like no matter what you do, people will not accept change or growth from you. I mean, why even try to be a better person? You might as well be the worst racist in town because that's all the world will accept from you. What kind of message is that?

Probably a mistake in hindsight, people who apologize typically get canceled the most.

The video is in the twitter replies. She wasn't rapping along to the song she said "I can drive *slur*". So yeah, fuck her.

This is a good life lesson here:
Dont just address an issue you have with a person. See if you can hurt their career. Imagine if he just confronted her about it and she apologized: that wouldnt have hurt her. I actually really like this Galligan guy.

You're giving high schoolers too much credit. You're lucky if they're even focused on their core school studies, let alone spending any time paying attention to what's going on in the world around them.

I'm literally black, b

I just wasn't going to say "as a black man" like a lot of white trolls do

And I'm not saying she should've gotten off scot-free or without criticism, I'm just saying context is important

bro you know these white ppl just wanna act offended on our behalf

ClunkerSlim posted...

Is she supposed to go around knocking on the doors of every black person in the country? She apologized to the people she knew. What more did you realistically expect from her?

Don't make and send a video of yourself using a racial slur?

Nope, if minority kids have to be aware of the world around then so do white kids.

Imagine it
getting rejected
so you wait and then suddenly some other fucking neckbeard says 'bro we can ruin her'
Like what the fuck. This is normally the shit you'll see the internet scream for hating the neckbeards but because she wanted to make amends she's wrong?

Your argument went from.

She never apologized for it.
Then
She never apologized until it went viral.
Then
Her friend said she apologized for the video long before it went viral.
Then
And then "Is her friend the queen of black people?"

So I'm kind of curious about your end game here? Should she have apologized to every black person? Even if they didn't know it? Should she have posted the video with an apology when she was 15? Because as a teacher I can tell you no kids at that age have that kind of foresight.

Where are you getting this stuff from? People grow up in really sheltered environments, like others have said privileged, and can be insulated from shit like this *until* they get out and start going to college and learning to live as an adult.

Then you should understand why some people might be offended and why some wouldn't. There's a lot of history around that word especially when white people use it regardless of context.

Having your life ruined over saying a racist word once is fucking dumb

Actually, both the boy and girl can make a lot of money off of this if they play their cards right. The boy can get some comfy "woke" job while the girl can set up a go fund me for herself and watch the money roll in.

ClunkerSlim posted...

Like I said, she made a mistake. She apologized years ago. What is the point in trying to do better if no one accepts your growth?

You improve because it's the right thing to do, not because you want pats on the back like so many people want.

I did miss where it said she apologized to her friend. Thats my mistake. However, the video is a public issue now. Its not an issue between her and her friend. If she didn't want this to become public she shouldnt have made the video. Thats the risk you take. Now shes being judge by it.

Who knows. She could be remorseful because she got caught by her friend and the public. Maybe she's changed and maybe she hasnt idk. I just don't feel sympathy that shes facing the repercussions now

ClunkerSlim posted...

No. There's no point in trying to better yourself if no one will let you be better. If you're racist then you might as well stay racist, because that's all the world will let you be. That's the only message I got from this story.

I mean theres integrity. Where you're just a better person because youre a good person. She should have to prove she's changed and not have people assume because she's older

Except a lot of racism is borne from ignorance. Education, patience and forgiveness is one of the best ways to remedy it. You don't seem to understand that.

Yeah, and who made it public years after it had already been resolved?

but why did it get into his hands? She sent it out. He didnt hack her phone

I do understand that and if she said something in the past that is now public she should still be held responsible for her actions.

Saying i was young and ignorant is no excuse.

No. Repercussions would have been grounding the 15 year old girl for a month. Not having her entire future burned to the ground.

Sure, if it was a household issue but its not. Its a public issue now.

This Jimmy character sounds like an incel.

He had a chip on his shoulder. He was mixed, but lived in a white community where it says they used the N-word with impunity, and he felt like they were mocking him, I guess?

I kinda feel him, despite it being a dick move and obviously they way the girl said it was more enduring than attacking.

Being mixed in a majority black school- mixed kids are just seen as black. Being mixed in a white rich community is rough, and singles you out more.

The "holding a child responsible for an action they took as an even younger child" thing is fine, sure, but public, global shaming through the internet and potentially killing her acceptance to college is entirely not proportional to what happened.

Not sure how else I can make this point clearer.
