SOCIAL MEDIA SLUR PROMPTS SCHOOL TO LAUNCH INVESTIGATION
|| By FITSNEWS || Back when our founding editor attended the University of South Carolina there was no such thing as “WiFi.” But apparently the WiFi at USC isn’t very good.
In fact, according to screen capture from Snapchat (something else which didn’t exist back when Sic Willie attended USC), the WiFi at USC “blows.”
Why does it blow? According to the screencap – which depicts a young white woman drawing on an erasable white board – the number one reason is “n*ggers.”
Wow …
Really?
Seriously … what the hell is with white college kids these days?
Did that whole Oklahoma drama teach them nothing? Or closer to home … Clemson “Cripmas?”
Anyway, here’s the offensive screencap – which has prompted a University-wide investigation and the obligatory reminder that racism and incivility are not tolerated at the school. You know, except when they are.

According to reporter Andy Paras at WCIV TV 4 (ABC – Charleston, S.C.), social media users identified the woman in the photo – prompting her to respond that the image was “misunderstood.”
“I was not writing all that,” the woman reportedly wrote in response to being called out. “This is very misunderstood.”
Her twitter account has since been deleted, Paras reported.
RAPID REACTION
@fitsnews and those kids will grow up to become car salesmen and state troopers.

@fitsnews @UofSC so the whole university is classless, because of one racist snapchat from (what I assume is) one student?

Can the young woman offer an explanation of the misunderstanding?
Prolly a libersl tring to givr a reason to divert from the damsge Obama is doing to our country…
Seems like something you would do. But then again, what would you be doing near a university?
He got lost on the way to the Capital Club.
Sadly… YOU are what the universities are now producing…LMAO…
But if it said crucify Christians. ..FITS, The State and the Democrat Party….would stand and cheer..
One way “equality” is now leftwing dogma. …
The reason that USC ‘s Internet crashes is that they have the most useless and incompetent chief technology officer – bill hogue. His incompetence gas no limits …
When is the last time the internet crashed? Did it catch you in middle of jerking off? Next time I see Bill I’ll ask him why he doesn’t have his ass down in the server room.
When you see him he is in a daze walking close to the wall while trying to dash to the next bathroom for a drivel session that leaves him moaning at the urinal
Funny but true i recently heard Bill in Osborn toilet – painful
If he would stop the shit coming out of his mouth he (and we) would be less in pain
If he would stop the shit coming out of his mouth he (and we) would be less in pain
Was Harris close to him when he was moaning?
On display one of a Harris Pasides ‘critical thinkers and problem solvers’ – brilliant analysis : parking !?! Incompetent professors !?!
Overcrowded campus !?! – as reasons for the WIFI to crash?
It’s all a secret message from the illuminati :
I’m more confused as to why these scholars believe parking is a reason WiFi blows at USCe.
This strikes me as one of those type “brain storming” sessions that professors and corporate trainers love. Throw out any idea at all and write them all on the board. She was likely just the scribe for a pointless exercise.
Maybe so. But is it a good idea to write down something like that? She may have been in a circle of friends or sorority sisters, but still a bad idea.
She’s a young college student. Most people did worse, but luckily for most back in the day everyone didn’t have cameras and the ability instantly publish to the world.
The lesson for the next session —
¿por qué me encanta el gran nabo
There is no way that she wrote that holding the marker the way she is. Then again it isn’t cursive. They don’t teach kids cursive or handwriting anymore.
As we learned in the Travon Martin hearing, they can’t read cursive. “That’s retarded, sir”.
If I had a daughter, she would look like Gracen.
Also, it just occurred to me… I can’t breathe.
Naggers…too many people on the internet at the same time bitching and complaining so it clogs up the bandwidth, therefore wifi sucks at USC. Makes perfect sense to me.

She has disappeared into the Twitter wasteland. What I don’t get is how her Twitter handle from earlier today is now associated with (allegedly) a German soccer player in England. She has gone through two other Twitter handles today. Poor Gracen.
You know what? Someone is always trying to steal Howards Rock. I’m gonna steal that cannon ball.
Do something more productive, go steal that copper ball in the middle of the Horseshoe.
Yawn… They say it to each other all the time. Am I seriously supposed to curl up on the floor in a fetal position, induced by white guilt and righteous indignation, because of this?
Please don’t hold your breath while waiting on that to happen. They might attribute your passing to more fraternity hijinks.
Unfortunately you are right. Just go sit down next to a group of high school or college kids and you will hear them using the “N” word in the place of buddy or pal. I’ve seen it on an incoming text to one of my kids! I have taught my own kids it is an inappropriate word. Did other parents forget to do that???
Wassup My Nigga?
If you’re white that’s racist, if you’re black then you’re okay.
Nah you’re supposed to vote for Ted Cruz.
You know
“Conservative Values” and all that other BS.
Hate speech apostate! Heresy! Heresy! Burn her at the PC stake!!
People are defending the niggers, but nobody is defending the ratchets. What the fuck is a ratchet? They don’t like ratchets, but not a word about sockets?
You might want to look that up in da urban dictionary – Whitey
So what you’re saying it’s just another dumb word DANs use rather than trying to speak english.
Don’t get me wrong, racial rudeness is totally uncouth behavior. Nevertheless, this is yet another immaterial “whitey done wrong” story that gains much more attention than the often much more material “black folks done wrong” stories… you know, those material stories which include murder, rape, armed robbery, burglary, etc., etc, at rates way above their percentage of the population. So yes, ladies and gentlemen, these types of stories are but a diversion to the cruel and violent reality facing this county more and more daily. As for me, I’ll begin to care about stories like this when black leaders are called out by the mainstream press for their obvious racism and when black crime rates, government support, and education failure rates begin to correspond much more with their percentage of this state and nation’s population.
Ah the old,”yeah but” defense.
Funny. I may find what happened objectionable, but I will defend her right to be objectionable. Freedom of speech means the ugly as well as the beautiful…
Hmm…are you (1) white and/or (2) confused between the freedom of speech vs the freedom from consequence?
If she’d have just been shot in yet ANOTHER random act of gang street violence in five points, this would be a non-story. Story?
here here. ;)
Actually, half Cherokee (Western Band), since race and ethnicity are so important to you. I don’t expect anything for it. And no, I’m not confused at all. I am who and what I am through my own efforts and talents. An expression of one’s beliefs (right or wrong), ESPECIALLY at a STATE school, should be tolerated within reason. Hurt feelings simply don’t rise to that. No threat of violence or ability for her to hold anyone back -just an offensive viewpoint. Do we suspend black students for using that word? No? Why not? Do we suspend them for using the (offensive) term “redneck” when referring to a white person? No? Why not? Is one person’s being belittled more valuable or important than another’s? I guess that whole “equal protection under law” idea is just inconvenient. Ethe, remember the Buffalo Soldiers? Yeah, special place in Hell for them…. they took money to murder entire nations out west… but you’re proud of that, aren’t you?
Oh, and now you have CREATED more racism through the suspension than existed before. Now you have created a VICTIM (or at least as much of one as existed by viewing the photo). It has gone from “poor ignorant girl” to “poor VICTIMIZED girl” because of the administration’s actions. And whatever racism was inside her (and might have been eradicated through positive contact) is now permanently seared into her…. all because of hyper-sensitivity.
Good thing black kids don’t say racist things.
They do, but you just can’t understand them.
This person could leave her kids for dogs to raise…or “Knock-Out” an old lady and kill her…and all would be forgiven…liberal lawyers would beg activist judges for leniency, and it would be granted….
But get accused of a racial non-crime…and your life is basically over….That’s Obama’s America…
Race – capitalizing on it – is THE ONLY THING that matters…
The only thing I can figure is that niggers must be filled with lead, which explains why they screw up WifFi and can’t swim.
Well she is obviously not a friend of Harris – they violate the Carolina creed and it gets buried.
You know who you are in the FoH club. You 15 minutes will come …
She meant niggardly, as in they are too cheap for good IT equipment.
Or perhaps “nutcases” as in right-wing Tea Partiers.
Da, komerade! or maybe, Heil, Liberal! Both repress free speech and expression, and both are to the left of the political spectrum (communism, socialism, and national socialism differ only in degree).
This is just another farce. Laws and values should never be cherry picked the way the do the “N” and “F” words especially. My wife and I were at Sams Club gassing our car a couple of weeks ago. We we waiting on a black man in front of us in the line. He left his door open on the car while searching for several minutes for his card I suppose. The radio was blaring with I guess Rap music. Every other word was the “N” word or the “F” word. It was sickening. But if blacks are doing this so publicly why the heck should any white person be condemned for anything of this nature. I will not use the “F” word ford it is sickening the way it is used. But Nigger will be in my vocabulary not because I like to use it but I refuse to be brow beat by the PC crowd.
You people are of pure hate that runs deep through every and any Caucasian to ever live
And he sad part about it is nothing has changed
Since slavery or a time where African Americans had no rights
You people stereotype on any black
Walk around scared when we are simply in line paying for something
I come from a white mother and a black father
The perfect little life you people portray as The pure and whole life
Smh
The devil comes in all forms
And you people are of himOf hate and filled with disgust
“YOU PEOPLE are of pure hate that runs deep through EVERY AND ANY CAUCASIAN to ever live
And he sad part about it is nothing has changed
Since slavery or a time where African Americans had no rights
YOU PEOPLE STEREOTYPE on any black”
Who is it stereotyping there? Get a clue because you are 100% as guilty of making a stenotype with that statement.
EDIT **stereotype not stenotype. I hate spell check fucking up my point
Spellcheck is SANTA’S SPAWN!
lulz
Every Xmas I put out milk & cookies and it draws him in like deer on salt lick, then I pump a few 12 gauge rounds into his ass and he just disappears every time…only to show up again next year.
I’m gonna git that fat bastard one day.
Shows our paying attention
Pat pat
Did your black father stick around or leave after he shot his load? You talk ghetto, so I suspect you consider yourself black.
some people are just crazy ignorant and don’t see hypocrisy. He probably doesn’t understand two of those words either
Lol a typical white assumption
And here you go making the point for them. “a typical white assumption” . Right there you are being a stereotyping hypocritical reverse racist for saying that. There is no need for you, or any others that think like you. All you do is create more hate than is already there. Hell the truth is you want it there so you have something to bitch about. Meanwhile others that really try to make the world better cant because of idiots you!
Your pathetic
You sound exactly like the article lol
Smh
*You’re
“you people”
You kinda sound like a segregationist.
I’m guessing mom was a big fat, trashy white girl who couldn’t get a white guy to ride her. That’s usually what you have in these cases.
Will Harrison face suspension?

Not a writing expert, but the word she is writing on the last line shown in this photo is in ALL CAPS. Not one other capital letter was used in the rest of the script on the board. AND yes – PARKING has always sucked on campus at Carolina – but you would think she would have at least capitalized another word. Where is the video? Does someone have a link with her writing the prior points on video?
The real Q is what professor has allowed this to happen in his classroom?
I noticed the same thing IRT the word she is writing being the only one in all caps.
Also, I was more concerned about “ratchets” being on the list… had no idea what that was until I checked UrbanDictionary. Definitely something that one would wish into the cornfield, but I don’t know how it would affect WiFi.
Maybe ratchets are the type that use way more than their share of bandwidth… if that is even a thing anymore… I don’t know.
Carolina has over 20,000 students, and this is what causes a regional stir?
On the same day, students all over the place were screwing, drinking, drugging, cheating on each other and in their classes, beating landlords out of rent, driving drunk, and corn-holeing each other.
And this is what we hear on the radio and in the paper? This country needs to get a grip.
Kelly you hit the nail on the head. What is corn-holing tho?
1) Buggery
2) A traditional horseshoes-type game played at gatherings
1 vs. 2 causes endless misunderstanding and jocosity.
What you see and hear is the too of an iceberg – how many times a day you think the word is muttered on campus? By white and black – look at how many African American professors and staff the university has – they are all in the gladiator / athletics department
Similar to Elfego, I stopped to fill up last week and nice silver Jag pulled up to the opposite pump. The stereo was blasting, my windows were reverberating from the bass. I don’t know the song or the artist but every 3th word was Nigger and every 2nd word was Fuck. The entire time I was filling up all you could hear was “Unghhh Fuck a Nigger , ohh yeahhh. Unghh… The black man who got out and went into the store turned off the engine but left the stereo on, I guess so I could enjoy his selection. This true story exemplifies the “double standard” as applied to the word Nigger. It’s either acceptable or it’s not. You can’t have it both ways. Any white person accused of racist behavior for using the word Nigger need only play one of these “songs” to the accusers.. “Damn Niggers Fuck em!”
You can’t have it both ways.
Really?
You haven’t been paying attention for the last 50 years.
Meanwhile a black basketball player for Kentucky says, ” Fuck that nigger” on live TV and there is very little mention of it in the mainstream media. No immediate suspension, no condemnation from Sharpton or the NAACP; the double standard is disgusting
NCAA hoops has a different RACIAL template playing out…
Will FITS keep mum w/ Obama’s unit in his mouth…????
They ain’t no Gentlemen Gems (to quote Dylan) with a shot at winning the NCAA..and the media is crapping itself. The mighty status quo Ky. went down…and the left is IMPLODING at the Hills teaming with WHITE elephants…
NCAA history being made – replete with racial slur by the offender FITS kisses the @$$ of…and FITS got his head buried up his ……
Typical punch-drunk left-type Liberal-Tarian….LMAO…Dumb@$$…
Will FITS continue to be a RACIST Coward as the media DEMANDS his irrelevant @$$ to be…or will he be cutting-edge….and challenge the powers???
They ain’t no Gentlemen Gems (to quote Dylan)…
Though Dylan was one of the Tribe…he was not Hasidic so his knowledge of “Gems” may not be as great as you think, Chief.
Nevertheless, with apologies to Scorpions everywhere, your Dylan reference Rocks like a [Ruben] Hurricane [Carter].
Not.
Happy for you that Miss Spellchecker has returned to your trailer. TBG was getting worried about you.
You’re trying to be a bit cuter than your intellect allows you…I spelled it just like I meant to…
Ky. players are NBA GEMS….Wisc. Ain’t….
Get up a little earlier and maybe you can stay w/ me…but I would not bank on it…
Sure, Chief.
Will Kentucky basketball player Andrew Harrison get suspended for stating, “Fuck that nigger” in press conference after their loss to Wisconsin? What if it would have been a white player who said that?

Don’t switch sides now Squishy…this is YOUR mess…just like Obama…
I’ll take your vote…but don’t lie about your culpability…

They’re niggers here, they’re niggers there; I guess there niggers everywhere?
I’m offended.
I’m not reading all the hateful comments, but almost 7000 visits, REALLY! ! Three times more visitors than any other article. Makes me sick.
You want to see real racism that has consequences for people’s lives, the go over to the school choice article. See my comment there.
Last time I looked the first amendment was not suspended on USC’s campus.
Any African American greeting a friend on campus with wassup n.., will now make a case for racial discrimination.
Any playing of a rap song on campus using the N word will need to be punished in the same way.
Girl get a lawyer – this is slam dunk
Since when did some co-ed’s Shapchat photo become national news?
30 some years ago I was in basic training at Ft. Dix. Our drill sgt was exhorting us to beat the other platoon in PT testing. One of our platoon guides, an Hispanic kid from NYC said “how we gonna do that when they got more niggers than we do?” I was dumbfounded, but it turned out he was using the term as a substitute for people. Which is consistent with how it appears above. Never heard a white person use it that way, though.
