Does it truly come across like I want to blame black people? Yikes, I'm out y'all can keep talking about this white woman. I fuck with a lot of white people in a red state and no one I know would do this even in private, they'd get their ass beat.

Sorority Girl from University of Alabama puts up a video on Instagram....

Well, your problem is with a black poster saying they suspect most whites use nigger when black people aren't around and you assert that THAT isn't helping or progressing anything, as if black folks being suspicious of whites in that way is a significant hinderance to progress
and honestly, you running away without responding to any of the well put arguments to your assertion only confirms that you're not interested in dealing with why a black person would feel that way; you just want to admonish the not at all unreasonable suspicion and again, completely ignored that white people in this thread have confirmed that whites using slurs when black folks aren't around is common
so, yeah
But this isn't my experience, I'm just not interested in going in circles. I've said my peace about it, I hang with a different crowd tho so I'm not trying to diminish how it feels to him, it's just a terrible comment IMO
lol her response was the typical, "i'm sorry, i was wrong, i made a mistake" like everyone in here predicted.
She's sorry she got kicked out of school and out of the sorority, she's not sorry about her thoughts or what she did. Hope her life is ruined, don't need fuckers like that in this world.

that's fair, if you had said "this isn't my experience as a white person" or whatever, but you didn't and the comment certainly wasn't terrible.
Dude said what he thinks, he didn't assert that it most definitely was the case. And if you can't understand why someone would think what he said, that's on you
Can we just get it out of the way that most white people DO NOT say things like this in public?
Mind you, I don't have that suspicion myself and I'm not accusing anyone of anything. I simply understand why another PoC would feel the way Bob does and don't particularly think it's necessary to paint his comment as "trash". That isn't the type of dismissive dialogue that's going to change anyone's opinion.
People who keep saying "Her life and career prospects are over" - no they're not.
In a few years she can start the whole "I was a 19-year-old college kid, drunk and made a mistake" excuse. Her prospective employers may not dig very deep and may never know about this incident.
Not to mention she could change her name, omit Alabama from her education altogether since she was there for basically a semester, etc. It'd be hard to make the connection.
Plus, it's not impossible an employer might find out and not give a shit.

I'm not. I feel like this is exactly what goes on in someone's head when their staring at someone that's a different color but just too afraid to be racist aloud.
Just her brazen shit, like damn shorty, you ain't gotta say it thirty times
Once let's us know you a dumbass
And how did she go from shutting off water in a restroom to save Syrians to saying she hates niggers and she's saving niggers by shutting off the water
She's a dumb motherfucker

She could change her name but employers will ask if she's ever had her name changed.
Damn, I never even thought that she could be so dumb, but it.... makes sense!
SpongeBob didn't say white people use slurs "in public"
SpongeBob said what he thought whites say when black folks aren't around. Then multiple white and white passing posters confirmed that it wasn't a totally unfounded thought. One of the white posters even admitted to using the word himself when he was younger so it wasn't some "virtue signaling" or whatever y'all might want to call it.
I really do think there's a huge different in "generalizing" black people with a history of dehumanizing stereotypes through words and images and a black guy "generalizing" white people by thinking most of them use historic slurs; and you trying to chastise them for that is tone deaf as fuck. "you'd think as a minority you'd know not to generalize?"
Exactly. Let's not pretend she won't get a job from people who share her feelings but weren't young and dumb enough to broadcast it on social media
anti-black racism is so often completely out of the blue and comes from no where, I'm not surprised. It's an easy way to feel better about yourself by putting down other people and to be shocking and edgy
It's called binge drinking. Nothing she said in that first video made a bit of sense.
I don't mean to equate saying all white people are racist with years of dehumanizing stereotypes I'm just saying it's dumb.
Except the racism she showed one thing about alcohol is it will eventually make you show who you really are one way or another
But all good hope she stays away for awhile she won't learn from this tho other than hiding it better
I mean she uploaded this shit to the internet, and somehow didn't think she'd get caught or punished.
How'd she get into this school? She can't be very bright.
She's a young, stupid (to put it lightly) college chick who grew up in a highly volatile culture (NJersey IMO has a lot of "sects" of people who are racist as hell FSR and I say that from experience), and she's probably going to get the book thrown at her. Maybe once she hits rock bottom she'll realize that she's doin' life wrong.
It's not hard to get into the University of Alabama. It's also a pretty cheap school to go to compared to most US colleges. It's common for people from the East Coast with poor grades but enough money to go to southern schools that are actively recruiting out of state students. Same thing happens with West Coast students and Midwest colleges.
literally no one said "all white people are racist" but your concern and finger wagging at something no one said is noted
You know, it's weird. I've met my fair share of racists in my life, and I can definitely say I'm not exactly fond of them. Sometimes it's as 'harmless' as a weird joke, sometimes it's asking me why I'm dating my girlfriend instead of someone 'from my own race'(I'm Latino, she's white Canadian), sometimes it's not wanting to rent to me once they see my last name. And I hate all that. It sucks, it feels dehumanizing, and those are awful people.
And yet...I don't know. I just can't help but feel a bit sad that this person's life is over. Like, she's an awful racist and I'm not about to argue that she got anything less than she deserved. She behaved in a terrible racist way and suffered the consequences for it.
At the same time like, I actually feel a bit sad about her life being over when she's so young. And it's a weird feeling because I hate everything she did, but I still can't help the fact that I'm not exactly feeling triumphant over this. It just feels like a sad thing to me all around, from her being a racist to her life being over.
I don't know how to explain it. Guess I'm just overly soft. I don't even think the consequences were unfair or anything of the sort - do dumb things, pay the dumb price. It's just that I can't bring myself to be super hyped up about her comeuppance, if that makes any sense. I might just be rambling.

What would she even go to jail for? It's legal to be a racist prick.
*reads transcript*
I think I lost a few braincells just reading what she said.
How do people this stupid function in society? Like how to they even tie their shoes let alone get through an entire day?

So.... you think that white people started the attempt to end the slave trade?
Her life is not over just because she can't finish school in Alabama.
This could be a great lesson for her dumb ass on how consequences work. I doubt it though.
So, are we not going to talk about how she was surrounded by friends when she said this shit the second time and no one called her out?
That to me feels like this is a deeper problem....

What? I binge drink often and don't go into racist rants and tape them. I don't know why drinking is used as an excuse
if it makes you feel better, this racist white woman will certainly receive many more chances even if she's being punished right now. Trust, she'll be protected from herself and in some places she'll be celebrated. Don't fret for her.
It's not an excuse it's a good explanation of why what she said made no sense.
I figure it would be hard for her to get a job or get into another university after this incident though, no? (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I've not lived in the US and I don't know how the social rules work around there)
There is a reason liquor is called "Truth serum" and not "Racist serum".
No, you are a decent person with empathy. Plenty of people would say she doesn't deserve your empathy (and they have every right to feel that way, too) but they can't decide who you have empathy for, only you get to decide that. Recognizing that, considering she is so young and that such vitriolic racism isn't inherent in human beings, she must have learned this behavior from somewhere is important, and it is sad that someone so young could become so horribly racist.
She still deserves the consequences of her behavior. It just sad that racism can be so prevalent even among young people.
I'd like to think he meant a literal book will be thrown at her. Like a nice, thick, not watered down, history tome.
No, racism is why what she said made no sense. Drinking was probably a reason why she felt bold enough to say it.
Do you honestly believe that she thinks that conserving water in any way helps Syrians? She's obviously used to using the word in private and with friends. But I don't think normal racist people connect conservation of water with Syrians and black people.
I mean we have a phone call where she sounded sober and it wasn't much better
She might, I have heard stranger things from racists. That is the thing about racism, there is no rhyme or reason to it
There are plenty of racist work places where she'll be welcomed, celebrated and will fit right in. She'll be fine, I assure you
