A 15-year old African American student from Kenmore East High School has gotten a dozen of her teammates suspended for two days after she says that a pre-game chant required her to chant “one, two, three, n****r.”. Tyra Batts who was the only black student on the team says she later got into a fight with another teammate who also used a racial slur and was suspended from school for 5 days.

She’s only 15 so I’ll excuse her for ignorance now but I hope someone tells Tyra that n*gger isn’t a race or our culture. Kudos for standing up against socially acceptable racism though
no but we will all excuse you for your ignorance. That is a racial slur made directly to insult black people. You can spin it however you want. White ignorance people made that word up to downgrade black people.
I’m white myself but I don’t really understand mindset of a lot of other white people. Those fuckin close-minded rich white kids.
First off, we know that this basketball team sucks if they only got one black player…is she sure they weren’t chanting “pass it to the n*gger”.
you’re so sad…
I thought they said “nigga” not “nigger”
I thought they said “ni g g a” not “n i g g e r”
