Two lessons: 1. Never use racial epithets. 2. Social justice warriors are vindictive little bastards.

The girl, who was a freshman in high school, was not calling anyone an n-word. She made a mistake but does not deserve to have life ruined or name sullied in a national newspaper. Jimmy Galligan, the snitch, has more to be ashamed of.

Just a high yellow brother trying to demonstrate he’s down with the cause.

Good lord - she was trying to act hip and urban like the black kids she admires and, whom I’ll point out, say the words all the time.

Lesson 1 is when you see a camera, just shut the hell up smile and wave. That’s it! Don’t say or do a dam thing to be used against you. That’s what the Internet is designed for, to eventually destroy you!

The use of the n word has changed.

It used to be used by people of other races to insult Americans of African Descent.

Now, my observation is that it is mostly used by Americans of African Descent to address other Americans of African Descent.

All young people want to be cool and use the common slang.

If it is a bad word, then it is a bad word for everyone, including Americans of African Descent.

Leesburg was founded in 1740.

“Leesburg was named to honor the influential Thomas Lee and not, as is popular belief, his son Francis Lightfoot Lee who lived in Loudoun and brought up the bill to establish Leesburg, nor as is sometimes thought, Robert E. Lee (his great-grandnephew)”

When rap songs and TV quit spamming that word, then I might take it seriously. I don’t care about the nuances of spelling, either.

It’s either an evil bad word and offensive to all when said by anyone or it’s nothing. At this point it’s nothing but a word I chose not to use.

Blacks have been saying “N***** please” since at least 1977: https://tinyurl.com/y6wcjmk9

Actually, there are three lessons. #3. The Chinese Social Score System will be here very soon, if not already.

For his role, Mr. Galligan said he had no regrets. “If I never posted that video, nothing would have ever happened,” he said. And because the internet never forgets, the clip will always be available to watch.

“I’m going to remind myself, you started something,” he said with satisfaction. “You taught someone a lesson.”

What a vindictive little prick.

“Jimmy Galligan, the snitch, has more to be ashamed of.”

He has a bright future in the Rat Politburo.

#7: "When rap songs and TV quit spamming that word … "

I remember how Tipper Gore was ridiculed for attacking this problem years ago. I don't know much about her other than she also had the sense to dump that freak to whom she was married.

POS has been raised to fail - and blame whitey.

Mr.Galligan is a POS and he looks to be queer as a three dollar bill.

I wonder why the New York Slimes would publish a story like this now.
