Cancel Culture: A Vindictive Teen Destroy a Classmate

Eh, we're probably just arguing semantics. Yes, I would says that's well off. However, I definitely wouldn't assume "rick kids" are living it up in Leesburg in their $600k, 2000 square foot houses with another house probably right on top of them.

Good luck on your house hunt, by the way. I went through it 5 years ago in NOVA...hopefully never again.

 

Ya, she probably understands the Streisand effect. She probably understands that defending herself in this situation is just going to make people like @Reeko confirm she's a abject racist creature. So she probably has accepted the fact that she is probably just going to get a community college degree. Let's hope this doesn't cause severe depression.

 

What would make it terrible? Harrasement? Death threats? Proffesors giving her failing grades regardless of merit?

 

LOL thanks! This is round 2. Forever home I hope!

So brutal out there... at least selling our old home will be easy

 

U keep trying to equate n***a and n***er. They are not the same. Black people do not say the n-word with a hard er.

 

So the "er" flipped jef life upside down? The "er" is what gives you this absurd her righteous indignation?

 

Groves should have known better than to record herself saying the N-word with the hard “er” and share it to her friend’s Snapchat account. That decision does have consequences, but losing her college acceptance three years after the fact with no other transgressions is an excessive punishment. Galligan is an ******* for waiting three years to share the video in an effort to inflict maximum punishment on her. Provided they had the means to find the timestamp on Groves’ Snapchat video, proving it was shared three years ago, the University of Tennessee overreacted by kicking her off the cheerleading squad and pressuring her to leave the university.

 

It depends on if society forgives her. I don't think University of Tennessee is some liberal bastion. So that means a lot of other universities would probably deny admissions to her also as they don't want to be the school that gets publicly shamed for accepting the N word girl.

Ya stuff like this is a good way to lose allies to worthwhile causes. Like I'm pretty sure this ordeal has made her views on activism for Black Americans jaded.

 

This is where the discussion falls apart. "Very well off" is subjective. Living in a 600K 2000 sq ft home in Leesburg would be quite "well off" compared to where I grew up as a kid. Is it "well off" compared to just about everyone around them at present? No, not at all.

 

Here u go trolling me again. Stop assuming sh*t so you’ll stop looking like a dumbass. Just because I’m not out here shedding tears for her means I’m enjoying anything. Like I’ve said like 10 times already, there’s a reason why they warn u to watch what u post on social media. There’s a reason why high school counselors tell u to erase any bad content from your social media when applying to college. It’s not that hard to not post yourself saying n***er. It’s really not. If the best u can do is quote me talking about the death penalty and other nonsense, then move along, because reading it is starting to be a waste of time.

 

Harassment (God forbid worse). I don't imagine professors would do that (they can't legally), but I could imagine some of them complaining to the school's governing body and the deans.

I don't feel bad that she isn't going to the University of Tennessee. I feel bad that she can't have a normal social media life. I feel bad that there might be real threats to her.

 

Dude, you believe she deserves being forced to withdraw from school for a mistake she made at 15, three years after the fact.

You aren't merely not having any empathy here, you believe the punishment was warranted.

 

She certainly shouldn't be the brunt of it but what you're advocating is that she is this white flower in a sea of black weeds and that she shouldn't be held accountable for her own behavior when in fact the rest of the community definitely isn't held accountable. What's draconian is being a brown or black kid in a school where racial slurs are hurled around you on a daily basis and nobody will do anything about it. That is why this came about, it wasn't some random thing. Read the story.

 

If you've been following reeko's takes for a while the whole "pure good vs pure evil" narrative is pretty strong throughout, so this isn't exactly a surprise.

 

Because I believe she shouldn't be kicked out of school and not portrayed by the national media as racist doesn't mean I'm making assumptions that she's a perfect angel.

I think the punishment far exceeds the "crime" here. It's that simple. I don't know her moral character. You don't either. But I do know that her action, singular, at 15 doesn't warrant the scrutiny and fallout she received now at 18.

 

Then he has a simple brain I guess?

 

This reminds me a lot of the Kyle Kashuv case.
