And it's not even October yet

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...udents-wear-blackface-photo-article-1.2805718

The University of North Dakota is investigating a photo that shows four white students in black facial masks that was apparently posted on Snapchat with the caption “Black lives matter.”

The photograph is the second racially-charged image associated with the university to be released in less than two days. An earlier picture of three white students, one of whom flashes a peace sign, reading “Locked the black b---h out,” was previously shared on the same messaging platform.

University of North Dakota enrolls 14,951 students, 2.5% of which are black. The bulk of the student body — more than 78% — is white.

Fucking assholes.

Yo FIFA did a shit job

 

[SomedayTheFire]

I'm not sure if I can call them scumbag racists in light of the NYT OpEd 🤔 oh hell I'll do it anyway.

 

[Donos]

girl in dark shirt even brought her game face.

 

[Trojita]

Yep, that's racist.

Everyone but the picture taker might have deniability of saying they didn't know that caption was going to be used (They are wearing facial, as in dermatology, masks).

 

[Takyon]

I don't really understand the point of the pic. Is it meant to be a racist joke?

 

[Captin Quacker]

but is it really blackface doe??

 

[RoyaleDuke]

I hope this shit follows them for the rest of their lives and all of their careers are fucking ruined.

Fuck every last one of those pieces of shit.

The US doesn't really play soccer/football/thebeatifulgame so obviously they didn't end racism in the US, doh.

[Donos]

Maybe this is viral PR for the next human centipede movie...

 

[Switch Back 9]

Too many FIFA jokes guys. They did their job dammit!

 

[Loudninja]

Someone call FIFA

Damn thy missed this one guys.Well cant get all the racism!

Ugh so sick of this garbage.

 

[xxracerxx]

I don't get this.

 

[bounchfx]

Screenshots.

yeah, it's just pretty funny. qualifies as ironic I think, in this case.

 

[GrantDaNasty]

FIFA needs to re-establish their Racism task force, the job is not done yet!

On-topic: Goddamnit, I was speaking to someone the other day that referred to BLM as a "terrorist organization" and I swear to god, I could smell the privilege coming off them (they are white as sour cream btw). What is wrong with people?

 

[HerrPalomar]

Its crazy to think about that they completely ruined their lives with one photograph.

Social Media is scary....

What the hell were they thinking....

 

[chaobreaker]

This is the second time in like two weeks where a bunch of white girls decided to show their racist ass for all to see after wearing some black facial masks. Must be something in the chemicals.

 

[Speely]

Their eyes, they are dead things. Like their souls.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

I really hope when students like these get expelled, they also get no refund for their payed tuition.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Yeah it's pretty funny. It gives you a notification when someone screenshots. I wonder how they reacted.

I mean, let's be fair - They're young, the world will forget about this after long enough. Sure I imagine they are going to undergo a lot of scrutiny, but I wouldn't call their lives "ruined", it's not like they've been killed for nothing, unlike the people they're mocking by doing this.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I don't get this.

It's not facepaint, it's feces on their faces, twist.

Doubt they get expelled. Punishment will likely come from internet scorn.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Why would anyone be compelled to do this. It's not even like a severely clueless costume. This is straight up mockery.

I love this lowkey shade.

Anyway, I think I've become a little numb to stuff like this. It isn't shocking anymore but just another confirmation of the world view I'm developing of a significant portion of America.

White privilege in a jpg.

well hold on there a sec

we can't ruin there whole lives over this, kids will be kids after all

I mean we've all done crazy racist stuff when we were younger

All future employers just have to google their name and thats it. The only job they will get for the rest of their lives is low skilled work where no basic background check happens.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I am not defending their disgusting actions but it is just scary how you can ruin your future with one mouse click today...

 

[zoleristec]

North Dakota, not surprised.

Kansas State University expelled a student for doing the exact same thing last week. I'm cautiously optimistic.

I don't know that their names have been published, they might be after the fact by someone who identifies them though (looks like NY Daily News has edited the images to blur the faces).

Yea, it's a bit scary, but people should be more responsible with what they put out there. Clearly they sent the SnapChat to the wrong person who wasn't having none of it that day.

@OP - Not sure how you feel about this, but maybe edit the image with the updated one from the NY Daily News article. Not justifying their actions, but if they feel it's worth blurring them to prevent internet mobs, might be worth it to echo the sentiment.

Thought about it, but decided if the girls were fine with it, I was too.

I actually came across the Daily News article last when looking for extra sources

I saw that. She wasn't currently enrolled in the school though. Her old sorority said she hadn't been a student since 2015.

 

[RocknRola]

Well....this is...."something" I guess... way to ruin your lives you idiots. Bloody racists.

PS: What's the FIFA context here?

FIFA decided to disband an anti-racism taskforce after concluding there was no more need for them with regards to racism from football fans.

 

[Joni]

They abolished their anti-racism team because racism was solved.

Oh wow. What the hell? Pretty sure there are massive cases of racism to this day, even in the major leagues lol

FIFA gonna FIFA I guess.

Seems like a fantastic way to get tossed out of school.

This is a good point.

I think you could say this about any state. Racism is still everywhere.

 

[Monocle]

deeeeeeeerp

Racism is everywhere, yes, but racists are not evenly distributed between states. Some are definitely more progressive than others.
