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).

Totally agree, and my kids are in FCPS too. The entire slant of the article was clearly to portray Heritage High - and LCPS in general - as horribly racist. That’s simply not the case. Teenagers across the entire country use the vile n-word casually, every day. Why? Because it’s in the rap music they all listen to. Yet the SJWs refuse to demand that rappers stop using the n-word. That would be an excellent first step if we want to eradicate this word.

If you feel so strongly about this, attach your name and face for credibility reasons to a campaign to allow you to use the word, that it’s UNFAIR for African Americans to say it, but white people cannot.

You are talking gibberish. I have no desire to say that word and I seriously hope my kids don’t either. However, because I live here on planet Earth, I understand that kids often do exactly the opposite of what their parents want. It’s completely unsurprising that teens would use the n-word when they hear it all the time in the music they listen to. Which is why it’s astonishing that the black community hasn’t campaigned against rappers using this word. If it’s that offensive, then no one should be saying it.

Yes entire words conveying actual concepts are exactly the same as your hateful acronyms.

No wonder you can’t figure out what saying the n word is bad!

You seem terribly confused. Saying the n-word is vile and disgusting, even when black people say it. And your “concepts” are merely made up buzzwords.

Why are you even commenting if you think you’re the only one with valid thoughts? Isn’t it stupid to just waste your time writing posts with no intention to exchange any ideas? Do you just like seeing words you typed on the internet?

Um... you are doing exactly what you’re accusing me of. How about you explain why the n-word is perfectly acceptable for black people to use. Go ahead and defend that word.

Why aren’t you campaigning against rappers using that word? You know, in real life instead of anonymously on this website?

That’s a nice straw man but it’s not even Autumn! 🍁🍂

I hope you have other outlets for your impotent rage.

Are you joking? The black community needs to speak up about it. We can see just from this thread how well it would go over if white people publicly condemned rappers for using the n-word. Why hasn’t the black community put a stop to it? Ironic that rappers are millionaires in large part because of white teens buying their music and concert tickets.

Isn’t he gay? Seems a very odd school to choose.

I don’t know, maybe you need to get on the phone and ask your one black friend about this. 🤣😂🤣

Why do you think “the black community” needs to speak out? Why not you? What are you afraid of if you’re so right? Cant you stand up for your beliefs? You sound so cowardly. 🐈

The truth is there will never be enough reason for the people in this thread to find the n word unacceptable. First they’re going to say it needs to be banned from rap lyrics, then they’ll say it needs to be banned from black people’s private conversations, and then they’ll say their kids heard it in a 7-eleven when they were 6.

It’s all a pretext. The bar will always be raised and raised and raised because historically, that’s what we do in this country to black people. They always need to take just one more step before they can be treated with respect.

Goodnight, Jimmy. Get some sleep - you’ll need energy to keep fighting the good fight. So many people to expose, so little time! Best of luck.

I’m sorry you have so much fear and hatred towards other people. I hope you find some peace since you are pretty troubled, and so desperate for a comeback you stole one from the Hilaria thread. Here’s a pity applause: 👏👏👏

Sure. That makes perfect sense. Especially since everyone has said, repeatedly, that the n-word is unacceptable, no matter who says it.

Who is Hilaria? Speaking of troubled, now you’re introducing your imaginary friend. Anyhow, you seem to know all about fear and hatred. Your defense of a kid who is full of fear and hatred speaks volumes. Night, Jimmy.

The fact that this is so complicated for you is so revealing. You just cannot handle the “unfairness” of not being able to say a word without policing Black people’s use of it.

Pathetic.

It must be difficult being so simple. Not one person has said they have any desire to use your favorite slur. It’s so bizarre that you think anyone is desperate to speak trash.
