So she was 13 in 1970, it wasnt an acceptable word even then. She knew better and if she gets fired its her own fault.
My grandmother was born in 1933 and knows better, I have never heard her use that word because she is not racist.

The post was deleted from the group’s page but lives on in screenshots.
Marja Broussard, vice president of District D for the NAACP Louisiana State Conference, issued a statement on Colley’s words, writing, “We are appalled and hurt, but sadly not surprised to learn someone entrusted to guide and nurture our children, so easily shared such hatred for Black and Brown people, in a public forum. The racist anti-Black mentality has been alive in our community for decades, and we will stand up against it every time until it is eradicated.”
“We will not tolerate this bigotry that continues to traumatize our youth and further the narrative that our Black children are second-class citizens,” she continued. “The NAACP Louisiana State Conference, along with our district leaders and members, are calling on the Lafayette Parish School Board and Superintendent Irma Trosclair to institute racial and cultural diversity trainings for all staff immediately.”
Yet they would have no problem with those young black teachers who pull up to Circle K with rap music replete with the same word blaring repeatedly along with misogynistic and cop hating lyrics. Right? Sick of their fricking hypocrisy.

And yet if she was black and could sling it around 2 dozen times in a minute & 1/2 they’d play it all over the airwaves and give her a Grammy. Where’s the NAACP’s outrage when Cardi B’s yapping about her love of big dicked N’s and her WAP?

Then there must be a shite load of racists black people out there because I hear it non-stop out of their mouths.

I honestly doubt she has ever used it in a racist way. I have been riding with her lost in downtown Atlanta with her driving a brand new Cadillac and she pulls over to a group of probably homeless black guys and asks them for directions without a second thought and they gave her directions and were as nice as could be. I wish I could be as nonracist as her, I try to be but probably never will be.
Regardless, anyone who uses a racist slur on Facebook as the woman in the OP did is an idiot.

Black people use that word every day all day. Is she black?

Amazing the amount of power one word has.
Can get you arrested in Europe or Canada. Likely get you fired from your job in the US.
Think about that. The majority of society has an unspoken agreement that a person essentially deserves their life to be ruined for saying one single word.
Was discussing this w the SO yesterday on a road trip. It’s just a word and it’s ridiculous one race can say it, but not others.

Care to provide a link of all the non whites that have been fired for calling someone a cracker

Except this isn’t the “singing along with a rap tune” use of this word. This is the direct use of it in a racist manner, publicly, by someone in education.
It’s an entirely different issue than the hypocritical enforcement of the “ taboo”nature of that word that appears in rap or with friends ripping on each other in good nature.

But as long as you’re teaching these kids to hate whitey, it’s all good. Yerd me?
What a fricking joke.

It’s “n-town”, not “ville”, everybody knows that.
We didn’t use those words in my house. I grew up with plenty of people who used it dozens of times a day. It was always weird.
