UK student goes on racist rant

[VaxxedObamaCat]

In the end money buys you a lot of advantages in in our society. Being born into certain demographics gives you a leg up over others. That’s just facts. And a lot of people fell comfortable nowadays lording that over others.

LOL. Like being Jewish?

Or how about Asian because culturally they focus on education and strong family values?

I just love how the self-inflicted problems of one specific group is somehow a "woe is me card" for life as if everyone else's life is just rainbows and lollipops. If you can't make it today despite the mandatory hires, scholarships, quotas, Affirmative Action, and lowered standards, then whose fault is it?

Really, you think the only way to know that the “ N” word is a deragatory term is hearing it from family?

I see you missed the word generally and the word friends. By definition in that context, generally means most often but not always. You struggled with reading comprehension back in school, didn’t you?

But the crimes committed by those generally aren’t committed solely because the victims are white. More often than not, those are crimes if opportunity. Not all but most. Things like what happened at UK happen because of race. If it wasn’t, this girl never would have used the racial slurs.

Or….the RE was doing her job and preventing the drunk girl from doing something she wanted to do, and the drunk girl wanted to insult her.

Not at all…

A positive that many will not agree with is the fact that this story would not have made national news 70 years ago.

I’m not disagreeing with you at all but the timeline needs some context. 40 years ago this wouldn’t have been newsworthy. 40 years ago that word was commonly used in my public school. 70 years ago it’s highly doubtful that the black girl would have been at UK and even more doubtful she would have that job on campus. Segregation is way closer to now than a lot of people think.

Then you struggle with it today since uour statement was wrong since you equated my post as me saying it was learned solely from family. That wasn’t even remotely close to what I said.

 

[TCurtis75_rivals88839]

It's really a fascinating psychological study. This word is used in every other sentence by one group, every comedy special, every rap song, and a form of greetings in one culture and zero offense. One dumb drunk girl says it then it becomes super offensive and national news.

Remarkable idiocy. The selective outrage is unbelievable.

I agree. Your idiocy is remarkable.

Segregation is way closer to now than a lot of people think.

Well, still to this day, we have black-only dorms and segregated graduation ceremonies but it's considered "progressive."

My university had ceremonies for just blacks, just for Latinos, and just for LGBTQ which is insane to me.

Ad hominem attacks are the refuges of the weak.

These people need to fix the hate in their hearts before they go fixing it in society.

No, I was right over the target with what I wrote. In todays world everyone knows the “ N” word is a deragatory word, it doesn’t take hearing it from someone close to you to know that, at all.

Segregation is way closer to now than a lot of people think.

And we're being dragged back to it, and not by whom you might think.

 

[TCurtis75_rivals88839]

No, I was right over the target with what I wrote. In todays world everyone knows the “ N” word is a deragatory word, it doesn’t take hearing it from someone close to you to know that, at all.

But seeing and hearing family members use it frequently, gives you the false approval to use it as well.

Do you "read between the lines" with people face to face? I suspect you don't.

Piss off! How's that?

 

[RogCat1119]

Where did I come to her defense? My point that flew squarely over your head was that she will be punished. In the past she wouldn’t have, that is progress.

Like I said, people like you walk right up to the line and you're "defending" her by even one iota of concern for how this might affect her and nothing about how the actual victims might be affected by what they were subjected to.

The idea of race baiting being a larger issue rather than racism itself is a Laura Ingraham and Fox News talking point from a few years back. Some of you will just parrot anything you hear on tv and then call others sheep.

There's racism on all sides, all fronts. It's not just a white issue and no one here is saying that. I've seen people of other races on twitter straight up say they hate white people. That's obviously awful and shouldn't stand. This particular issue regarding the UK racist doesn't need a battle of words though. It doesn't need whataboutism or "look, I don't condone what she said, but..." It's awful and she's awful. When you'd rather whatabout a situation like this, you're either bored and looking for a thread fight or you may just believe some of the garbage that's spewed here on a daily basis.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - it's not too much to ask to just be a good person. Don't be the guy saying he hates gays or the guy laughing because some old man he doesn't like was beaten with a hammer. Don't be the person trying to spin this story into an opportunity to bash other races because you assume they're the real problem in society.
