Brickbat: That's Obscene

The University of South Carolina has suspended a student over a photo showing a woman writing a racial slur on a whiteboard. Officials aren't releasing the name of the student.

Comments

The racial slur was listed as among the reasons why USC's wireless Internet connections operate poorly, along with "overpopulated campus" and "incompetent professors." The student is writing the word "parking" in the photo.

Racist surrealists have taken over tech support

[Charles Easterly]

No more Mister Nice Guy.

[db]

Sooooo...

How is "parking" a racial slur?

[Charles Easterly]

This link will reveal quite a bit more: http://www.people.com/article/.....d-snapchat

[WTF]

Naggers?

[Charles Easterly]

No - the sheriff is near.

[Heroic Mulatto]

Clearly, she was commenting on how Nigerian scammers are overloading the campus's mail servers with spam.

[UnCivilServant]

And 'Parking'?

[Heroic Mulatto]

Have you seen how Nigerians park?!?

[Rich]

Actually, HM, that's not a bad "defense" these days.

"My client obviously meant to write 'Nigerians', Your Honor, and simply misspelled it. If we start suspending students for making spelling errors, I dare say Nigerians will be hardest hit."

[Heroic Mulatto]

Good thinking, Rich!

Never get a job as a police union lawyer, though. I don't think my brain could take such defenses.

[Rich]

You mean, you couldn't handle "inattention slippage" or whatever that BS excuse for the Taser "mixup" was?

[Ted S.]

What the hell is this doing on People magazine?

[Steve G]

The president cited the school's 25-year-old social honor code known as the Carolinian Creed

Oh, you have a creed!? That's nice

[Adans smith]

Apollo Creed?

[invisible furry hand]

Having a Creed is a horrible thing

[Gordilocks]

Worst. Band. Ever.

[AlmightyJB]

That's pretty harsh

[Gordilocks]

There are plenty deserving of the title.

[mr lizard]

I think misspelled Nickleback

[AlmightyJB]

or Dave Matthews Band?

[Gordilocks]

Limp Bizkit also comes to mind.

And everything nu-metal or emo.

[Radioactive]

they were pretty bad

[straffinrun]

Worst Band ever is a matter of taste.

[Gordilocks]

Still not worse than the drooling cheese of Scott Stapp + Co.

[straffinrun]

Yeah, he's trying to for the cheese so not as bad.

[AlmightyJB]

I was actually slightly entertained for a minute which is more than I can say about anything Dave Matthews did.

[Steve G]

*cough* *cou-nickelback-gh* *cough*

[Ted S.]

Creed is could.

[AlmightyJB]

What did she write?

[UnCivilServant]

The copy I saw was blurred out, but I think the first entry in the list was 'Naggers'.

[AlmightyJB]

huh...sounds tizzy worthy

[Robert]

It wasn't clear to me whether the erasure was on the board or in the photo.

[straffinrun]

At least she didn't write it on a blackboard.

[AlmightyJB]

white chalk is racist

[Charles Easterly]

... and privileged.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

...and therefore patriarchal.

[Radioactive]

and not vegan, free trade, non-GMO or gluten free

[straffinrun]

And Black Holes

[AlmightyJB]

wow.

[Gordilocks]

Your derp findings, they rival The Derpetologist. Competition is good.

[Charles Easterly]

Oh my....

[Charles Easterly]

That was in respnse to straffinrun's post.

[Libertarian]

So what about the term "white dwarf"? Is that offensive to white people or dwarves? Or only white dwarves?

[Charles Easterly]

I have it on good authority that "white dwarf" is indeed offensive because it "others" everyone who isn't a person with a low center of gravity who has also enjoyed white privilege their entire lives.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

Cure.

White people are not allowed to be offended.

/points to narrative talking points chalk board.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

Cute.

[Rich]

What is "brown dwarf", chopped liver?

[sloopyinTEXAS]

Does this,look like chopped liver to you?

[Rich]

*** suspends sloopy ***

[Gordilocks]

Is black marker on a whiteboard reverse racism?

[Charles Easterly]

Affirmative interaction?

[AlmightyJB]

No just regular racism

[Libertarian]

Can we dispense with the "99% of cops are good cops" trope now?

New shooting in Tulsa shows that a cop supposedly used a gun instead of a taser. When the victim said he was losing his breath, another cop said, "fuck your breath."

[sloopyinTEXAS]

I dispensed with it when I was about 20 years old.

[UnCivilServant]

Try asking where that is actually used in a serious manner, like on PoliceOne (not that they'd let you post).

[sloopyinTEXAS]

Those cockbags have made all comments sections visible to P1 verified members only now. I guess they weren't happy with the "civilians" reading what they actually think about us.

[SugarFree]

Probably a good thing. When you stare into the abyss for too long, sometimes the abyss starts fingering its own infinite butthole.

[Pope Jimbo]

My guess is that some enterprising defense lawyer used the comments to show prejudice against his client.

I don't think they particularly care if us serfs read their comments, but they will be damned if they allow comments to let one "animal" back on the streets.

[SugarFree]

Fuck off, you unAmerican pansy! Everyone knows that the proper treatment for being shot in the back is to kneel on the criminal perp's head.

What with the reactionary-perception gap and the TASER darts and hand-waving, this THUG got what was coming to him!

[Rich]

"Let us now come together as a university community to reaffirm our commitment to each other as a Gamecock family."

Emphases added. Talk about your rape culture!

[sloopyinTEXAS]

How dare this girl write an offending word on a whiteboard and remain at school. They need to drag her to the state Capitol so she can stand beneath the confederate flag and explain herself to all assembled.*

What hypocrisy.

I have no problem with the confederate flag flying atop their state Capitol. I'm just pointing out the double standard: the word nigger is used routinely in today's culture with varying definitions depending on who is saying it and who it is being said to. The same can be said for the reception of the confederate flag being flown over a state Capitol.

[Heroic Mulatto]

I think the bigger offense is that somehow a woman who believes that melanin (along with parking and slutty women) can effect the reception of wireless internet was deemed intelligent enough to be accepted for enrollment in an institution of post-secondary education that isn't beauty school.

[sloopyinTEXAS]

And at the states's flagship school! I mean, we all figured it was Clemson at first, right?

[Old Man With Candy]

We need to do a controlled experiment and put you on campus there. If the slowdown is half of what it was with the full-blooded Negroes, we have discovered the root cause.

[SugarFree]

Has there been any investigation as to why the wi-fi is so slow? I mean, she can be a racist and, you know, correct at the same time, right?

[sloopyinTEXAS]

Hmmmmm. I don't know the rate at which blacks use Netflix and hog bandwidth, but if it's collectively much higher than whites, you may be onto something.

[Heroic Mulatto]

I think it all boils down to one incompetent Black ratchet-ass ho of a professor torrenting the entire season of "Housewives of Atlanta" on her smartphone while sitting in a parked car.

Obviously.

[SugarFree]

Please leave Brittney Cooper out of this.

[swillfredo pareto]

So many issues, so little popcorn:

What do incompetent professors and ???ratchets??? have to do with wifi service?

She is not be-penised so the SJWs may have a hard time turning their politics of personal destruction up to 11.

Unless I am mistaken USC is a public school. She has first amendment rights.

At what point does this stop? She would be in just as much trouble if she had written retards or fags. If this is where modern progressivism has chosen to take a stand it is very poorly thought out.

[Chumby]

The poptart looked like a handgun.
