The same way Mimi is counseled. It’s everyone else’s fault and people make mistakes in their youth.

Jimmy's family is very wealthy and even uses the slurs themselves. So why hold someone else to a higher standard?

A Black teen boy can’t put himself in the shoes of a ... rich white teenage girl who casually uses racial slurs? Why SHOULD he? He clearly has a lot of internalized anger and a complex racial identity because of his dad bit so many of you act like she did NOTHING wrong. A white student in my class once called the one Black girl in that class a slave. I LET HIM HAVE IT, made him apologize and then called his mom who didn’t care at all. Makes sense now. It’s endemic here. and my kids have to go to school with your kids!who you’re teaching this is completely okay. They’re ENTITLED to use the n word because nothing is off limits for white kids. And you all seriously think what she did is fine or if not fine, excusable and someone else’s fault and if not that you just hate Jimmy more.

If people felt she’d done nothing wrong they would be saying she had nothing to apologize for, either then or when the article was written. And they aren’t.

But most do believe the other kid was a jerk and the consequences she’s since suffered were disproportionate and the result of a bad combination of a vengeful classmate and some cowardly adults scared of their own shadow.

Black kids get into less trouble at public schools more serious offenses, and even then you people complain about the statistics and demand “restorative justice” that means talking it out with no real consequences.

Her only consequence has been having to withdraw from a crappy school! Oh no! She is rich and white. She will go somewhere else. She clearly has tons of support from other rich White people. Her main consequence is embarrassment and she should be embarrassed for what she did. Now she knows don’t say the N word. And might raise her own kids better than she was raised.

Her parents raised a better kid than the Galligans did. They raised a toxic and manipulative twit whom no one will want to employ in any public-facing job.

Yep. She was raised it’s fine to toss out slurs.

Yeah but she’s white. So to these people she’s automatically better than Jimmy. Racial slurs and all. I mean he’s Black. And exposed her racism.

We don’t accept your labeling her racist for casually using a term she’d heard many times by the time she was 15 from classmates and music, including Black classmates and rap music.

You left wing bullshit artists want to equate a young teen being insensitive or insufficiently woke with being racist and we reject your idiotic, divisive dogma.

Are you now advising Jimmy to apologize for his mistakes to get hired?

So if your 15 year old spews any old hate on a public platform you’re gonna blame music and classmates. Not the kid, not yourselves for not teaching them better. Typical NOVA.

I teach 15 year olds. THEY KNOW not to say the N word if they aren’t Black. All of them. If they do it anyway it’s a conscious choice. They are 15, not 5. So she was she.

Did you listen to the 3 sec video? She is not “spewing” hate. She’s like “guess who can drive n....z!” She wrongly used it in the exact same context it is used in some movies and in many songs. That was wrong. It does not make her a racist spewing hate.

“ And it never would have happened had she a) not said it to begin with and b) didn’t front as a BLM as pays this summer when he knew damn well how she really was.”

A - yes sure
B - why in the world do you think she was insincere when posting in support of BLM? There is NOTHING in the article that suggest she was a deliberate recurrent racists. The OBLY thing she did wrong per this piece was the stupid use of the term in a non-hostile way when she was a HS freshman (3 years before she touted support for BLM).

I hope this is a lesson to other white kids that what you put on the internet will follow you.

That’s how I feel. She is clearly a proxy for how whiteness has hurt him his whole life. Imagine being Black and growing up in river creek with a bunch of racist White people. That had to be so painful. Nobody empathizes with that though. Only with her. Because they know that could be their daughter but they don’t see anything of themselves or their kids in Jimmy. It’s sad. Her consequences actually were minor. She will be just fine. And it never would have happened had she a) not said it to begin with and b) didn’t front as a BLM as pays this summer when he knew damn well how she really was.

What is your race? Let me guess, you are a self loathing white person and a RACIST.


So any person who sees the situation differently than you is self hating?. This debate is so telling. You identify with this girl because you think she could be you or your daughter. There is no humanity in this half white half black boy in your eyes -who would never be accepted as white by the way. He doesn't look like you so there is no reflection on your part about why he did what he did or any empathy for him. There is something wrong with only being able to identify with people who look like you. Can you see how that is a problem?. Can you see that being in a country where most elected officials, most people who hold positions of power are white and think and feel like you do creates a really difficult world for those who are not?. This is literally why when a white woman goes missing it gets so much media attention, the majority of the country is white and can only identify with a person who looks like them. If you sit on a jury it's easier to vote guilty when a black person is accused because they look like the other and you can't imagine them being your son or brother etc. This thread is systemic racism in real time.

Ok OK you win the biggest victim award. That's what you want, isn't it? Now you have two awards, as you already won the biggest racist award. Your dumb comments are hilarious because most of my family is about as mixed as you can get.

Yeah, I'm dumb because I'm calling you out on comments that are insensitive at the least and racist at the most. Calling my comments dumb makes you feel better?. Saying your family is mixed and making the comments you did indicates you are the one who is self hating

Nothing was done to Jimmy Galligan, there is nothing to sympathize with. He is the perpetrator, not the victim. This kid must be so soft, I am not sure whether he could handle anything being done to him. I grew up a brown immigrant in the USA, had many slurs directed at me & some fights as well - not a Snap Chat of rap lyrics. I would have never wanted to deny a college admission to any of those kids for what they did when they were youth or teenagers. Apparently what really set this kid off is the girl posting something supporting Black Lives Matter - how messed up is that.
