Your brain doesn't fully develop until age 25. These kids are proof of that.

Why no outrage at the football players and interviewer for failing to practice social distancing? Muh, “blacks have higher incidence of Covid because of racist medical care”

This isn't outrage, it's simply posting a topic like everyone else does here. Plenty of posts are all over the internet filled with problems other people have with blacks just as the one you have mentioned here.

This country's in real trouble when actual people's lives are getting destroyed over some hurt feelings.

Btw why are my tax dollars going to institutions that openly violate the first amendment?

Ultimately they are paying the ultimate price not because of what they did, because their film became both viral and influential. Our deep state government machine wants to be the only one who can have influence over culture -

The same thing happened to this black man who bought ice cream that he licked in the store -

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/06/us/bl...rnd/index.html

He bought the ice cream, but because he made a video of it making it look like he put it back on the shelf he will "serve jail time and pay over $2,000 in fines and restitution" because literally - "but the court said his act was costly to the creamery company".

So both there people's lives were destroyed because of the video becoming viral and influential, not the act.

Probably because they think no one except their circle of friends will see it. We all know that is not true.

On another note, Tik Tok is the reason why I got an adblocker on my phone. I see that decision has paid off well, what a stupid 'platform'.

Perhaps the black man should not have licked the ice cream in the store, kind of like decided not robbing the store at gunpoint or becoming a "babydaddy." Perhaps the white n-worders could simply abstain and find something better to do with their time instead of posting a video for the sole purpose of insult. I sure wouldn't find employment, probably lose all family and friends after posting a video like that, and I would have to accept the consequences.

Pretty much. Growing up in rural Arkansas, I know the type. Trash.

It certainly did. I hope making openly racist statements for "likes" on the internet was worth it. Her life may be ruined. The entire country now knows her name and that she calls black people the N-word and is proud of it. She's been expelled from high school and everywhere she goes, people will point at her and shake their heads.

The internet always wins.

lol A couple of ignorant kids did something. When its man bites dog then you'd have something.

Since when does a school get to expel a kid over something that didn't happen at school? Those kids have no power or control over anyone. Just more government over reach into running peoples lives.

So school administrators are all over a stupid video where no one is threatened yet they ignore the pleas from students when they say "watch out for that student because he has threatened to shoot up the school". Teach math and leave raising the kids to the parents. THAT is where the responsibility lies.

What does adblocker have to do with Tiktok?

When you start to ACCEPT a lack of consequence for language that is harmful to certain groups, then you have accepted the fact that those groups shouldn't have a voice, a reaction, or feelings for that matter. But then again, it goes back to white privilege and the dismissive attitude towards people that would rather not be called out of their names or heritage. Which in this case is African American.
