Texas high school cheerleader caught spelling racist cheer

[Puupi]

We should have a special forum section: "Random people say dumb things". Seems like every 1 out of 3 threads is like this these days!

Yeah that Trump section would be nice.

...saying "nigger" is a sensible thing to do...

Would be a real shame now if someone would take that quote out of context and spread it around.

That's what the responsible media does all the time, anyway.

What's wrong with saying nigger?

Just a word lol... Isn't there a thing called freedom of speech?

nigger.

[Putin-Chan]

Why don't we just plug the OT forums directly into the Daily Mail?

It's a thread from Shep, he has a cheerleader fixation. He can't help it.

So you were trying to sound dumb? Well you did a good job of showing that.

I've seen you post before, and it doesn't surprise me that you don't understand what I was going for. You have a very simple-minded way of looking at things.

Says the person, that only cares about racism when it affects white people.

Oh look it is the right wing trying to downplay racism.

These things are better handled by the school without it becoming news. We don't need a witchhunt by media on everyone who says something racist.

But how can I prove to be morally superior if I do not degrade a teenager for doing something stupid?

[Cizr]

Wait thats racist word? I have been hearing blacks use that word a lot. Or are you telling me that only blacks can use it? Thats pretty racist.

Anyway left should start witch hunt asap. Lets ruin this girls life for greater good and justice !

Oh look it is the right wing trying to downplay racism.

KrazyK is downplaying it and he is SUPER liberal. It is a kid that said a WORD on SNAPCHAT. Black people say the word every other sentence and no one bats an eye.

You act like there's the least bit of confusion as to whether or not recording yourself saying "nigger" is a sensible thing to do.

well we overlook youngsters being communists, so why not?

defining this as racism makes the word pointless, and therefore meaningless - Soon people wont care that people do actual racist things, because when they hear racism, they hear 'nothing'.

That's pretty much what I think about it too.

Social justice warriors are the stupidest people on planet, using double standards and blowing things out of proportion to get their daily fix of fake justice.

I hope that the victim, the cheerleader, does not face disciplinary action from the school. It is a shame that there are individuals who will reach so far to take offense from something like this.

It is just simply unacceptable behavior. Period. End of story. Want to act like a bigot to your friends without consequences? Keep it off the internet.

I would ask you to point out where I am apologizing for racism and racists. I condemn racism, and also do not classify merely saying "nigger", "negro", "nigga", etc as racist. Context is everything, and, in this context, the cheer was not directed at anyone and expressed no superiority over any race or ethnicity.

This will be my last word on the subject (outside of PMs), as this thread is a forbidden topic. We should not have commented at all.

How is spelling out a racist word in a cheer that describes a type of person somehow not directed at people? Come on...

Oh no, not the dreaded n-word.

Words mean things and when you use those words in public (and yes the internet absolutely positively is 100% public) then you have to deal with the fact you have opened yourself up to criticism.

Teenage does something stupid and irresponsible?! STOP THE PRESSES! This is clearly worthy of being in the news. At least they didn't throw their homework away! Then we'd have a national emergency.


Seriously though, why does this kind of shit keep making the news?

Because it is fucking mind boggling that more than 50 years after the civil rights movement that people are still so casually bigoted and kids no less. Bigotry is learned behavior and if teens are doing things like this it means we are still a long way off from finally burying this kind of bigotry once and for all.

I don't know what's more sad, that this is actually being reported as news or that this news is coming from a fucking uk news site.

What is really sad is the fact people think this is in any way acceptable behavior for anyone.

[mickybrighteyes]

must be a slow news day for people to take notice of what teenagers are doing in their spare time.

Acknowledge they're assholes and move on with your life if all they do is say racist things.

Racists and bigots aren't going to change if their behavior is shrugged off as not a problem. Things like civil rights or GLBT rights didn't happen because those affected by it sat quietly and waited for people to become enlightened on their own and start treating them like the human beings they are.

[Machismo]

Let's be honest, it's not exactly a surprise that some random chick in Texas is a racist bitch. Let's just hope she pulls her head out of her ass, and stops being a racist bitch.

[xanzul]

The only reason this got a story is because shes a cheerleader, one of the "pretty people". I've seen a lot worst racist on snapchat from kids her age that didn't get media attention.

While i don't condone what she did, her HS should stay out of it because it wasn't made on their property or during school hours.

Public school systems are legally obligated to address and investigate potential racism in their schools. No they absolutely should not stay out of it because if teens are doing things like this in that school for everyone to see just imagine what they are doing when they think on one is looking or paying attention. This is a very, very real problem whether you want to acknowledge it or not.

Isn't there a thing called knowing what freedom of speech protects.?
