I hope someone calmly explains to them that they will never get jobs, and that they have permanently ruined their reputations. Try as they might, they will never remove the stain of racism they so gleefully spilled on themselves for all to see.

That's not gonna happen in Utah. I'd wager that there's a good chance none of these girls even know a black person.

The racial makeup of the county is 87.69% White, 1.40% Black or African American, 1.28% Asian, 0.77% Native American, 0.16% Pacific Islander, 6.59% from other races, and 2.12% from two or more races. 12.65% of the population are Hispanic or Latino of any race

Damn, poor fuckin kid.

 

[Rival]

These girls are either alarmingly racist, alarmingly stupid, or both. Either way I’m horrified.

 

[TheOMan]

So one of those girls are a daughter of a co-worker of my wife's.

Apparently it's not so cut and dry. The girls were dared by another classmate to send him a video of them shouting "surgeon cuff". The video then got reversed and posted to Instagram.

It's still a shitty situation all around and who knows if the girls clued into what they were doing when they filmed it.

Except they're not saying surgeon.

And even if they were (they're not), it's gibberish for what reason?

Nah, you're getting fed rubbish.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

fuck those pieces of shit tbh

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Were they say it like FUCK them or fuck them sexually.

Garbage kids. Get fucked

Are you telling people to fuck kids?

wtf why does it even matter

Cool like a dark sea/

i thought you were cool Utah!

 

[Fenderputty]

Exactly. If you don't know what the result will be, you're not going to scream it over and over while laughing.

Yeah the whole giggling shit makes it apparent they were in on the joke ahead of time.

"Hey there's a dickfor on your shirt" only works once.

 

[maxxpower]

Lol at people thinking these girls will never find a job. This is Trump's America.

Your wife’s coworker’s daughter is a big racist with a lousy cover story

 

[beau_beaumont]

I'm from SLC and still spend about half of my time there. Weber High? Not surprised. The second you step foot out of SLC proper it gets even more white, Republican, LDS and racist really fast. SLC is bad enough at around 50% Mormon and 75.1% white.

Weber County, where Weber High is located, is 93%+ white and around 80% LDS. All of the demographics data I looked at shows Pleasant View, UT with an African American population between 0-0.4%. Do the math.

I honestly just don't leave SLC unless I'm going to Park City for some reason or driving to another state. It gets weird fast, folks. Hopefully this video destroys their college dreams.

There are plenty of racists in Salt Lake. I’m not sure what being white and LDS has to do with anything. I’ve heard more n words at RSL games than any other place in Utah.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Lol at people thinking these girls will never find a job. This is Trump's America.

Let's not forget that a week ago there was an article on how there are spaces for white supremacy in the workplace under the disguise of diversity. Also the other thread saying blacks still aren't interviewed or hired for jobs as whites.

Plus you know..Trump's America. These girls will be fine unfortunately

 

[Stinkles]

Lol at people thinking these girls will never find a job. This is Trump's America.

Even Fox News won’t hire someone if they know a video of her chanting the n word is floating out there. Sure they will find jobs, but they won’t find their dream jobs and they won’t ever be free of the thought, “hmm if only I hadn’t been a stupid evil shitbag on tape”

 

[Doctor West]

But both sides!!1!1!11!!

This actually is played backwards, look at the girl with the red hair when she moves backwards. Physics on her hair and all that.

Holy shit, you're right. I thought the way they were talking seemed really strange. I guess they thought it would be a bit of a laugh? Fucking garbage.

Also, reverse racism???

Edit: Ah, reading above, it seems like they were tricked into this.

They will be drafted out of high school into Fox News

 

[brianmcdoogle]

I need to find and post my great grandmother's high school chant book for football games. It dates to maybe around 1910-1920, I think, and it is chock full of horrible racial stuff, including full on chants with the n-word. And, it was the official high school chant book!

They weren't saying surgeon.

 

[daviyoung]

Findlay said it appears the girls were saying “serggin cuff” — that phrase was also posted as a caption for the video on Instagram — and then edited the video to play backwards, producing the offensive language.

Article doesn't mention them being tricked or not. And it's not an excuse.

 

[diehard]

They weren't saying surgeon.

well, technically "serggin". It's the title comment on the instagram.

Article doesn't mention them being tricked or not. And it's not an excuse.

I don't think its an excuse, or at least a very good one. But at the very least it helps establish the intent of the video, which does matter IMO.

But they are good girls and would never do something so racist!!!

 

[Usobuko]

Racism will die out any day now...

100 years if we are lucky

 

[Dynomutt]

They were saying racial slurs and they are representing their school. How is this a slippery slope? How about this, if you want to cheerlead for your school, don't say racial slurs. Slope avoided.

But yes of course nothing will happen to these little racist darlings, I'm sure those that will make the ultimate decision can relate to the want to say the N word.

So your just dumb huh? Did you not read the OP? It specifically says:

Findlay said that, based on interviews with the three of the girls, the video appears to have been filmed last year during the school’s fall break. The girls recorded themselves inside a vehicle that was not on school property, he said, and the students were not participating in a campus activity at the time.
“The students were on a trip outside of school on their own personal time,” Findlay said in a statement.

Some of y'all the type to see flammable and still light a match to see what happens. At least read. I could care less about these girls. I hope the sit on a dirty bus seat and catch chlamydia.

Funny how you cut the quote from the article one line short:

But Findlay said in an interview that the video has caused a disruption at school, and that cheerleaders are held to a higher standard of conduct as part of their eligibility for extracurricular activities.

 

[Dynomutt]

Funny how you cut the quote from the article one line short:

What's he suppose to say even he knows that don't mean shit. They were still not in an official capacity representing the school. His hands are tied because they attend that school and are by circumstance affiliated. He could probably care less.

In an ideal society yeah people would be held to higher standards of conduct but should that clip not leak no one is caring.

They were off campus and the attention bought to this is because of the political climate were in. Everyone damn well knows they'll write a letter apologizing, probably read to some kids in their local library, and say the "T Have A Dream" speech at a luncheon next February.

Let's be honest here. They knew it would be reversed. They're not saying "surgeon cuff", because they are purposely pronouncing it different, so when it's reversed it sound more like n****.

People are going to jump and bend over and defend these girls, instead of letting them come forward, say they were wrong, and learning from it. People are going to say they're just kids, leave them alone, you'll ruin their future instead of teaching them why it's important to say these and opening up dialogue.

Girl's were laughing and giggling while mispronouncing surgeon cuff because they knew it would be reversed, and what it would sound like.

That could be what happened, but they knew what they were doing. Which means it doesn't make a bit of difference.

It's because the video is playing in reverse.

Yeah, when first reading that post I thought, "oh, they were tricked", but thinking about it more that doesn't make any sense. They had to have understood the "joke" of the reverse phrase, and were doing it intentionally. Pretty disgusting shit.

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

Look at the twitter link in the first post. Notice the name of the instagram account that uploaded the reversed video, along with the caption "serggin cuff". Scroll down to the second reply where someone (arguably wrongly) reveals the names of the girls. Notice any similarities?

You're right, the video did get reversed and posted to instagram. By one of the girls in the video.

Maybe 40 years ago with the priesthood ban. Utah is just an easy target for knee jerk reactions because “lol mormons.” It makes me wonder if people even know anything else about the state.

It's 2017 and fools still don't understand that online shit like this can ruin your career/life. Good. They aren't 11 years old anymore.

[Vault Dweller 111]

But yeah unless they are dumb as sticks they should have figured out nonsense words are probably backwards. It's BS.

This is probably intentional, although I really hope not. But I do think that this is giving these kids too much credit. It's high school if some guy who they like told them to say nonsense im not sure their first response would be "how is he trying to trick us by saying these nonsense words?"
