Twitter video

Another Twitter Video

quote:

LSU says it is "taking immediate and deliberate steps" after a LSU women's tennis player used a racial slur in a video that was posted to social media, sparking outrage.

Maddie Scharfenstein, a freshman walk-on from Slidell, was filmed saying the slur and later laughing about it with other people.

Scharfenstein has not played in a match for LSU. The team's fall schedule began Friday with an invitational against Virginia.


When is LSU going to say something about the student that was shot??

Leftists pivoting to the unimportant distractions while Rome burns. Par for the course.

Addressing something nobody cares about to ruin a child's life is a more pressing issue

She even laughed about it? The horror!!

White people can’t be allowed this blatant expression of free speech.

Nope. No one was truly outraged.

It’s faux outrage.

What-the-frick-ever. Some naive freshman girl who probably listens to rap incessantly forgot the rule that she can’t participate in the culture that she loves because her skin is the wrong color.

Generic BS, he did not call out those that needed to be called out.

Indeed!!
If you dont like it...dont read it!!!
We have forgotten the right of free speech. I hear plenty of Democratic attacks on those of opposing views and none of them has issued an apology....and shouldn't!!

Punishing people for saying words. I thought this was settled with the 1st amendment of the constitution? in 1789.
It's not against the law to speak this word. In fact , people of color speak this word constantly. With no repercussion. But if your skin is light, and you're the wrong color,,,,,you will be punished to the point of trying to ruin your life.

It's not racist if it wasn't used in a racists manner. Context is important.

I wonder how many football players, basketball players, etc. etc. use that word multiple times a day in front of coaches.

I hear that word at least a thousand times being said by young black men every time I go to my gym. Same thing when the rap music is playing.

If she is punished then all student’s social media should be screened and equal punishments should be handed out regardless of race, gender or sexual preference. People have been asking for equity. Let’s give it to them
