This kid is a clown. He could have handled this so much better.

He may not regret it now, but he sure will when he goes to find a job. When a potential employer does a quick Google search, this will come up. No one wants a snake on their team. There was no reason for this to be handled like this.

This is, unfortunately, the most true of all the statements made on this thread.

Ugh... PARENTS! Talk to your kids!

Don’t make racist comments... ever! (For many reasons. Mainly, why would you say something that hurts others?). But DEFINITELY do NOT say these things on social media!!!

ALSO, teach your kids how to handle conflict appropriately! Holding onto a video clip for a year, waiting for the other student to be accepted to college - that is NOT OK. And if you’re going to do it, REMAIN ANONYMOUS.

Mimi’s dream of cheering at Tennessee is over. But so is Jimmy’s potential of getting hired easily.

Well said.

So now people should be quiet because a privileged white person might have to accept the consequences of her actions... this and similar attitudes are why 150+ years after the end of slavery we still have to deal with racism and injustice. No one should be expected to tolerate the intolerable.

DP. I’m waiting for one of you to explain exactly why profane rap is acceptable - and why it’s acceptable for rap “artists” to profit off of the teens who buy their profane “songs”. Many of these teens are white. But I guess that’s ok with you, correct? They can be fans, but don’t they dare repeat the slurs they hear in the lyrics?

I have yet to see one person defend her using the word.

She is suffering the consequences of her actions, and he will suffer the consequences of his. That’s how it works.

Universities don’t want racist students. Employers don’t want snake-like employees that hold onto dirt until the perfect opportunity to take someone down.

THIS. Not one person has defended the girl. That doesn’t mean what the boy did was right, either. He could have confronted her privately, as soon as he saw the video. I guess only his dad gets that courtesy though.

What do you mean suffer like this still? Her admission was revoked after the video was circulated. She could have applied for another school 2nd semester or next Fall. There were consequences to her actions and she has every opportunity to come back from this with the right behavior going forward.

If you say so. I didn’t really get that from the article.

+1000 All employers Google their job candidates. No one is going to want to work with someone like this.

My org would hire him. And not in spite of this - because of this. I’m not at all worried about his future based on this story.

The boy is a jerk who got off on dashing a classmate’s dreams for some stupid remark she’d made years ago that wasn’t directed at him. Plus, he goes to a fourth-tier university. I wouldn’t say his prospects are too promising.

Cuts you to the core when your fellow racists are held accountable doesn’t it? Do better.

LCPS is FCPS of 25 years ago. Move further out, live with more white people. So, you live that insulated, kids (unchecked) act like this. Lack of diversity doesn't inoculate a community from racism, just let people live without real consequence. Until that kid blew up her spot. Small prices compared to the number of POC that have been derailed by their public school experiences.

Huh? White people? Half my neighborhood is Asian at least. I know you all like to claim they’re not a separate race but they are. We also have sizable Hispanic populations

We know that you only care about accountability for one group of people, which is why you are a racist.

You are so desperate that you have to repeatedly resort to straw man tactics.

This thread is about one racist person in Loudoun. If you want to debate other racist actions, start a new thread. I’d be happy to engage with you on other examples you’d like to bring up. Considering you repeatedly use the same phrase, it seems you are not capable of having a real discussion.

The people that want her to suffer are likely unable to find some to procreate with, so it's a moot point.

Hope he still thinks he made the right decision.

Wow! Blame the minority for calling out a racist.

I’m a POC. There’s a difference between calling someone out and holding onto stuff to find the perfect opportunity to out someone. He’s not that courageous. If it was about doing the right thing, he would have dealt with it right away. It was a crappy move.
