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.
Who cares? Whites are disparaged constantly..
“””Two lessons: 1. Never use racial epithets. 2. Social justice warriors are vindictive little bastards.”””
Actually, there are three lessons. #3. The Chinese Social Score System will be here very soon, if not already.
Blacks call each other that word every other second.
“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.
What a "Christian" thing he did. Effing POS...
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.
One of Ms. Groves’s friends, who is Black, said Ms. Groves had personally apologized for the video long before it went viral. Once it did in June, the friend defended Ms. Groves online, prompting criticism from strangers and fellow students. “We’re supposed to educate people,” she wrote in a Snapchat post, “not ruin their lives all because you want to feel a sense of empowerment.”
So prim! This is like a new age of Victorianism. I notice that no one suggests though, that black rappers refrain from using this infamous word.
What a terrible time to be a kid.
Where is the “app” that takes any video of any person and creates a deep fake of that person saying “n!gger”? It would erase all future persecutions.
The real lesson is that whites are under attack.
1) HS Freshman girl thought she was being hip via cultural appropriation. White kids are heavily influenced by media to extol black ghetto gutter speech.
2) Does Galligan deserve our pity? How sad to be a an AA HS Senior so full of woke ignorance that he can’t discern the difference between a word used as a racial insult, and the same word used in pea-brained imitation.
3) Or does Galligan deserve our contempt for exploiting a silly girl’s big nothing to make himself into a “heroic victim”, so weak he is crushed by a blade of grass but postures himself as a hero for throwing stones at some minor sinner. What a loser.
