Kid should sue if true. Public institutions should not be in the habit of punishing speech, no matter how awful that speech is, it's the cornerstone of our damn country. Let other people deal with him.

Why? Have you never made a stupid mistake in your life?

That’s the dumbest shite I’ve ever heard. So we shouldn’t send people to prison, we should just let them conform with the rest of society.

Actions have consequences. Better he learn that now than later.

Ah, well, yeah that’s problematic. In 2020 videoing yourself saying the n word is worse for your future than a face tattoo.

This kid is not going to be enrolled at LSU in the fall. His father is a doctor and they’re not interested in a lawsuit, they just want this entire situation to disappear. We’ve all done/said stupid stuff and I can’t imagine what it’s like to have one of the worst moments of your life recorded and going viral

Saw this girl in the thick of things on Twitter raising hell and complaining about racism to LSU yet she has crap like this tweeted out a while back. Writes for the Revielle too...no wonder that newspaper is shite and has been shite for years.

Well obviously the reveille will have to fire her for racism, right?



This is why no one with a brain gives a crap about some stupid tweet someone dug up. They only use it to attack those they don’t like but refuse to be tarred with the same brush

This is literally happening as we speak. Yet you want to possibly ruin a teenagers life because of something he said? Something he said that is 100% legally protected no less. It’s content, while certainly racist, is not illegal. Taking action against him would be illegal. If the student code of conduct has anything in it, pertaining to this, in conflict with the Constitution, Bill of Rights, or previous case law, it will not stand as a defense to violate the kids rights.

Someone who is rich or retired with nothing to lose from a faux online mob should reply to her latest tweet posting exactly what she posted in those two tweets. Except replace “white” with “black”. Watch her freak the frick out, then hit her with the screenshots of her old tweets.

Brilliant idea or am I tripping?

But remember, these are the same people behind “ban the box” which would not allow you to ask about a person’s criminal record during the job interview process.

You know, so past mistakes won’t ruin your life in the future.


Does seem to run contrary to the current cancel culture. Hell...the whole grievance/reparations industry, actually.

One issue I have, is how freely many black people throw the word around.

I make a nice pass on the basketball court and I get a "good look n++++" despite being white.

This happens and I don't think they even notice most times.
