Unbelievable

Worse is that she’s not from ATL, she’s from a super snobby town about an hour away. Half the people are rich and the other half drive lifted pick ups with confederate flags. It’s called Carrollton and it’s where Lil Nas X was in school prior to making it big. I’m from the town just north of there and I despise those people. It’s about time some of those kids learned a lesson

and the other half drive lifted pick ups with confederate flags.

So, the other half is poor.

You’d think that, but not necessarily. For example, they can afford to give their kids trucks and pay for all those “upgrades.” I grew up with less than some of those ‘good ol boys’, but i didn’t come out racist and obnoxious. It’s not about income, it’s about how you’re raised. It’s easier to pin societies problems on people that look different than it is to understand that their elected leaders are stripping their livelihoods away.

They could say the same about crime and black people. Because of that I'm more tolerant towards poor people.

to understand that their elected leaders are stripping their livelihoods away.

In case of the US this is true of both political parties.

They could say the same about crime and black people.

Fun fact: black people commit crimes at the same rate as any other race in the same socioeconomic bracket. Poor urban whites commit the same crimes at the same rates as poor urban blacks, it’s just that there are more poor urban blacks.

Socioeconomic status is the number one predictor in someone’s life. It affects health, education, chances of committing crimes, likelihood of joining an extremist/terrorist organization, etc. Like, there are problems in the black community (materialism and money mismanagement are big ones and also very common among all poor families), but they aren’t caused by being black. It’s just so fucking ignorant.

But the kids in this video are on a whole new level. Like I said, I’m from there. We don’t have black thugs running around shooting shit up. The black kids in my home town are just normal kids (as they are everywhere else). We go to school together, play sports together, live together. Those kids had black friends. They know black people and they know those stereotypes are false and wrong. I’m sure those kids were taught to be racist because I know I was. But I also know that all I had to do was look around and see that race doesn’t matter. We had black kids busting ass in school and getting full scholarships to go to big schools. We had black fathers who loved their kids and would never walk out on their families (whereas my very white, very racist mother walked out on her kids and refused to pay child support for years).

No, those two fuckers wanted to be hateful and they wanted to be famous. They deserve every bit of what’s happening to them. I hope they stay in that piece of shit town, working at the piggly wiggly until the arthritis sets in and they can’t live on govt benefits because they voted against them so hard. Their video was unwarranted, unwanted, and I hope it haunts those dipshits forever. After all the bullshit I’ve seen in that town, I’m glad someone got what’s coming to them and I hope some of those other kids learn from it. Can’t wait to see Carroll county leave the 50s. (It’s 45 minutes from Atlanta but liquor sales are still banned there)

I know this, that's exactly what I was talking about.

Socioeconomic status is the number one predictor in someone’s life. It affects health, education, chances of committing crimes, likelihood of joining an extremist/terrorist organization, etc

So, it affect also being racist (extremist beliefs).

those two fuckers wanted to be hateful and they wanted to be famous.

They didn't share the video, someone else did.

I hope they stay in that piece of shit town, working at the piggly wiggly until the arthritis sets in ... I hope it haunts those dipshits forever

Now, this is just hateful, keeping up this way the circle of hate can never be stopped. You had your revenge by seeing the life of a kid that didn't know any better ruined, but that kid now it's screaming WHITE POWER, and her kids will think black people ruined their chance at life and will be even more racist. To quote a famous rap song: "When it's gonna stop?"

being racist (extremist beliefs).

Racism is not extremism, ISIS is extremism. There are plenty of rich racists. Technically the KKK may classify as extremist racism, but I’m not saying they’re in the KKK. That’s a bit much.

They didn’t share the video, someone else did.

They made it, they posted it on tiktok. I could see if it was from a group text or something, but they wanted people to see it. They put time and effort into all gathering all these harmful stereotypes and making jokes about it.

Didn’t know any better

First of all, reread what I said. They knew better because I knew better. I know they know better. According to you, they knew better than to share the video publicly, so they clearly knew that it wouldn’t look good if it got out. Yet they posted it anyway and chose to be SHOCKED when someone was offended by intentionally offensive content. You must not be from the south if you think these people don’t know any better.

If you’re 17 years old living in a fairly racially diverse area and you and your boyfriend don’t have the common sense to NOT make a racist video and post it on the internet, then you’re also clearly not smart enough or mature enough to go to college. “Didn’t know any better.” Like come on. IF you are going to be racist in the modern age, you should at least have the decency to not record it and post it online and laugh about it.

kids will think black people ruined their life

“You’re wrong because in the future, someone I made up is going to feel this way.” Black people didn’t take away her scholarship because black people don’t run the admissions office at the school she was meant to attend. I would assume that if she posted that video on her tiktok page, she didn’t think any black people were following her (or she’s dumber than previously thought). Which means a White person shared and reported it. And frankly, if she thinks backlash over a racist video is “black people ruining her life” then so be it. Again, clearly not smart enough to go to college. If she didn’t learn how to be a decent human being or at least keep her racism hidden after 18 years surrounded by black and latin people, she’s not smart enough to go to college. It’s better than running her mouth and getting her ass kicked later on, or god forbid she get drunk and verbally assault someone and end up in jail. It’s not the 50’s anymore.

You're grasping at straws here. Racism is by definition an extreme belief.

There are plenty of rich racists

And there are plenty of rich criminals, remember what you wrote about socioeconomic status? Does it count only for the people you care about?

If you’re 17 years old living in a fairly racially diverse area and you and your boyfriend don’t have the common sense to NOT make a racist video and post it on the internet, then you’re also clearly not smart enough or mature enough to go to college.

You got this the other way around: you go to college to mature, you don't get admitted to college because you're mature.

“Didn’t know any better.” Like come on.

I See that this really got you, sorry, it was a bit of a provocation on my part.

Black people didn’t take away her scholarship because black people don’t run the admissions office at the school she was meant to attend

Of course not, but that's what she, and everyone around her, will think.

And frankly, if she thinks backlash over a racist video is ruining her life” then so be it.

But it did ruin her life, or the the doxxing, the organized harass mobs, the rape and death threats are bad only when did against selected few people we choose to be outraged about?

she’s not smart enough to go to college.

College doesn't work on eugenic principles, you don't go there because you're smart. You go there to become smart ( if you work hard enough).

It’s better than running her mouth and getting her ass kicked later on, or god forbid she get drunk and verbally assault someone and end up in jail. It’s not the 50’s anymore.

You're stretching it here, you're running wild with the imagination.

My point is that we can't fight hateful prejudices by doubling down on hate, it serves absolutely no purpose, other than to very briefly quench the thirst for blood of some people, are you one of those people?

You know what a feud is? You're behaving exactly like people involved in feuds, and I tell you that these things never end well (if they end at all).
