High school seniors in Phoenix sparked social media outrage after they posed for a tasteless picture wearing shirts that spell out a racial slur, according to the Phoenix New Times.
Six Desert Vista High School students dressed in black T-shirts emblazoned with gold letters and arranged themselves to spell the N-word, grinning as they posed for a picture.
The girls were wearing the shirts for senior picture day, when a larger group of students wore lettered tees and posed to spell out "Best You've Ever Seen Class of 2016."

Is it ‘outrage’ when predictable and completely intentional?
Because the worst crime you can commit in this country is to do something considered racist.
Mass murderers are treated better.
Maybe they were illustrating the lyrics from a rap song.
“a community action officer would be sent to the school”
WTF. Do they pack heat? Tasers? Tax dollars at work
Race whores, get over it.
Naggers?
Ni**er?
lol
I live in this area. These girls are being attacked and getting death threats for one reason: They are all White.
Had this been Blacks condemning the police or Browns advocating illegal immigration they would be having a parade thrown in their honor by Liberals.
If they had help up signs announcing they’re coming out as Gay or celebrating their abortions they would get the same honor.
There is still freedom of speech in this nation and if I were those girls I’d say: “Kiss my White ass!”
I only wish there was a way to show them that, even though it wasn’t the greatest idea, they have support.
They are kids, they don’t care about the things that freak grownups out. And they shouldn’t talk to any cop. They did nothing illegal.
This is such a strange story. They didn’t spell it out, they used asterisks for both of the G’s. I’m wondering if they think they are making some sort of statement, and if so, what it is. It’s very random.
I’ll say it again.. had they been any color but white it would not be news. Bad taste is not a crime.
The word: NITTER - A louse that deposits nits onto a horse.
And the name: NIPPER -(1884 to 1895) was a dog who served as the model for a painting titled His Master’s Voice. This image was the basis for the dog-and-gramophone logo used by several audio recording and associated brands:
Does anyone know the original title of Agatha Christie’s “Then There Were None”?
It was changed to “Ten Little Indians” but that was too racist too.
The original title was: “Ten Little Negroes” except she did not say Negroes.
Where is the “N word”? I see “NIPPER”; or perhaps “NIGHER”; or “NICKER”; or “NIFFER”.
It makes one wonder about the mind-set of the complainers. Are they the actual racists — people who instantly conclude that the missing letters must spell out a derogatory word. Is this a case of racists subconsciously projecting their twisted world view onto innocent school girls? D*##@D self-righteous bigots! (Not entirely serious — but not entirely sure I’m not right either.)
I thought that was a term of endearment...
Master?!? I’m sending the community action officer to your house next!
