Which song? It doesn’t matter. Don’t say the n word is not a difficult life rule. |
Seems to me that society is finally coming around and saying enough is enough to tolerating bad white behavior. Pitiful it took centuries and the danger of never-forgetting social media to finally turn the corner. |
Unless that bad white behavior is throwing rocks at cops. |
Mea culpa. Sorry I was wrong. This was not from song, not that it should matter anyways. Wrong is wrong. I should’ve fact checked first instead of repeating what I heard from someone else. I did after post and here I am back to correct the record. |
I agree. I’m pp. I was point out that with the exception of violent actions - that deserve a much more escalated response (and that aren’t present in this case), she should have been disciplined as a child needs not cancelled as if she’d done an egregious thing as an adult. And that is what most kids who do wrong stuff need too (violence being the exception). |
“ . It sounds though, like the adults were also a problem in this scenario...unwilling to address entrenched racism at the school,”
Frankly NYT did not do a good enough reporting job to be able to state that accurately or not. They don’t even mention reaching out to LCPS or Heritage HS for a response let alone have interviewed any other kids. The impression of them is just from what the boy said and things way in the past (fighting desegregation). The gym class example is bad but I think when WaPo reported on that LCPS said the teacher was wrong and reprimanded for it or something along those lines. NYT seems to have phoned in the coverage of the HS situation despite going out of their way to try to make this a bigger dynamic about what Heritage is like. (No, I have no connection to the school. My kids are in FCPS). |
Agree. The article is both trying to paint Mimi and Heritage High as generally racist and doing a bad job at both. |
pp here-- personally I think the punishment is disproportionate, given that the word was said when this girl was still so young herself--- but she is going to be made into an example, and that can happen. |
How stupid do you have to be to not acknowledge that everything which has transpired around this incident is indeed, life-altering? Her name will be forever associated with a stupid thing she did when she was 15. The internet will *never* forget. Withdrawing from UT might not have been insurmountable - if the entire nation wasn’t made aware of it, you utter loon. Get back to us when your kid does something equally stupid - or worse, more likely - and is outed online. Then you can pretend it hasn’t been life-altering for him/her. Idiot. |
DP. So my white kid has permission to cancel the next black kid who calls him the n-word? |
I’ve read this entire, idiotic thread. If you have specific examples of ANYONE praising her parents, then cite them. But you don’t because no one has. And you refuse to admit that teens are going to say and do whatever they want, regardless of how great their parents are. No doubt you did, and no doubt your own kids do. Better hope no one decides to publicly out them. |
Oh, get over yourself. She said a vile word in a private three second video. She later apologized for it. That should have been the end of it, but an apology wasn’t enough for Jimmy. He wanted her to pay. It’s clear he has anger issues. |
Ok. |

If it was private she wouldn’t have sent it to anyone. |
