Now if these girls were black, and using racial epitaphs against whites, there would be no problem. Why couldn’t they have just done that?

Expulsion — not suspension or detention — expulsion. Thank God I’m not a kid anymore. The PC police have absolutely no mercy or sense of proportion. You’re damned for every little stupid mistake you make.

Comedians like Dave Chappelle. If you haven’t seen the “The Black White Supremacist, Clayton Bigsby” be prepared to laugh your ass off.

If they were black and on an album cover, they would have received a major award.

Does this same thing happen in China or Russia?


Yes, but for different words and different protected classes.

There is no bigger threat to civilization than Political Correctness.
Yes, they should be punished, but having their lives ruined?
Especially for a word used by most black people and every rapper on the planet?

I’m black, and to me, there is no difference between the two words at all.
If somebody uses the ‘modified’ version, I ask them not to use that anymore when referring to me. It is most certainly not a compliment to me. It’s like being dragged down to slum-dweller levels. Of course, I’m a Old Guy at age 59.

Since there are six of them, which starts with the letter S, and they are snickering, perhaps the word is even Snicker.

“N1**ER” is a racial slur? Like the muzzies seeing the name of their god on an ice cream wrapper.

It didn’t used to take bad behavior reaching the public for expulsions.

The schools were far better then.

But there is a “1” - which looks like an “I” - at least in the original pic.
