This story is from joe biden's new world.....where the left wing assholes destroy lives for the fun of it.......what vile people these democrats are....
Four years ago, 15-year-old Mimi Groves, then a freshmen at Heritage High School in Virginia, was excited to get her learnerās permit. After receiving it, she sent her friend a 3-second Snapchat video in which she said: āI can drive, [n-word]!ā
Somehow, the video was circulated among a few students at school. It survived for years, and, last year, Jimmy Galligan, who was a senior along with Groves at Heritage, ended up seeing it. Galligan, whose mother is black and whose father is white, said he was offended by the video. Instead of explaining the issue with a white girl using the slur to Groves herself, Galligan held onto the video and waited until he could use it against Groves to destroy her.
Typically, such an act would be seen as bullying, but in todayās pro-cancel-culture society, Galligan received a New York Times profile and the story presented from his point of view, along with a headline clearly favoring his actions. āA Racial Slur, a Viral Video, and a Reckoning,ā reads the Times headline about Galliganās act.
The āreckoningā refers to what Groves endured at the hands of Galligan. Groves had been accepted to the University of Tennessee and was set to join the schoolās cheer team, which at the time was the reigning national champion. When Galligan posted the video of Groves online and it went viral, she lost her position on the cheer team and was forced to withdraw from the university after facing pressure from admissions officials. The officials apparently told her they received āhundreds of emails and phone calls from outraged alumni, students and the public,ā the Times reported.
Groves told the Times that she didnāt āunderstand the severity of the word, or the history and context behind it becauseā she was so young. She told the outlet the slur was used in āall the songs we listened to, and Iām not using that as an excuse.ā
āIt honestly disgusts me that those words would come out of my mouth,ā Groves told the Times. āHow can you convince somebody that has never met you and the only thing theyāve ever seen of you is that three-second clip?ā
Groves also said her parents didnāt allow such language and had taught her not to post anything online she wouldnāt say in person or want them to read. Of course, being a teenager, she still made a stupid decision.
Hereās the thing. Groves had already privately atoned for the video years ago. One of Grovesā friends, a black woman, said the white cheerleader has privately apologized for the video years ago. The friend tried to defend Groves after the video went viral, but the mob attacked her as well.
āWeāre supposed to educate people,ā the friend wrote on Snapchat, according to the Times, ānot ruin their lives all because you want to feel a sense of empowerment.ā
Further, Groves had clearly become on the side of the mob after the police-involved death of George Floyd on May 25. She posted on Instagram at the time that people should āprotest, donate, sign a petition, rally, do somethingā to support the Black Lives Matter movement.
This was the same day Galligan struck.
Someone responded to Grovesā Instagram post by saying, āYou have the audacity to post this, after saying the N-word.ā Friends started calling her and she learned that Galligan had posted the four-year-old Snapchat video that same day.
The democrat party is a party of vile human beings........
It's very simple.
Don't walk off high places.
Don't go into the lions cage.
Don't say racist shit.
None of this is hard.
Itās very simple: be consistent in what and who is going to get punished for saying racist shit. Perhaps if this girl were an Democrat governor caught dressed up in black face mocking Black people in her past it would not be an issue? The reality is that in this case, the girl was young and arguably saying what a lot of her Black friends say and or quoting a song or culture. Where is the pattern? Where is the hate? The boy on the other hand was definitely full of rage, hate, and revenge.
So do you usually use that word when referring to black folks or do you just use it in general conversation.
