What are these girl's Twitters?
Maybe it was supposed to spell NIMMER. They all look stupid so maybe they thought that nimmer was a word lol. All joking aside, why am I not surprised that this happened in AZ? Afterall, in the early 90s, this kkk state did away with the Martin Luther King Holiday…and I'm not even kidding!
you guys won't believe this but I was there when it happened
Why they blurring they faces tho??? These hoes was cheesin hard asf lets see they dumbasses smilin on the news lookin stupid😄
All that cause of a photo? Haha what a joke
DV IS Lit
Who cares? Everyone does shit like this in High School; nothing to get too worked up over…
Of course the jew media influence jumps all over this incident and castigates these students for not adhering to political correctness.
The best punishment these girls will get is that this will follow them for a really long time. What college will want to accept them after a controversy like this, who will want to hire them. It amazes me how stupid kids still are about posting pictures online.
"Freedom of Speech" does not mean "Freedom from Consequences". They deserve whatever punishment they get.
What's wrong with saying NICKER? It just means someone who nicks, as in steals. Are you saying that all nickers are black? Talk about being racist….
There was no racism. No one was harmed and the intent was to goof around by doing something taboo. You people are fucking crazy if you think kids should be jailed, expelled, denied employment, or gangraped for swearing.
they are teenage kids give them a break…this word is in every rap song now days…they shouldn't get suspended 1 day
This will FOLLOW them when applying for colleges.Are they hoping for Scholarships?
This is what I'm looking forward to in a couple years. Yep. I'm going to desert vista.
If it had been black girls wearing shirts that read whitey or honkey it would be fine but if white girls do it then call Jesse Jackson . Let's pull the race card again as usual
racism very common in America esp Arizona, esp phoenix, chandler, mesa, etc etcthe racism going in the prosecutor office, police dept, courts including most of the judges, the federal govt as well state to investigate the school,racism start from poor parenting as well above depts.,civil orgnization at state and federal level, strict disciplinary action against judges including disbar, investigations .panel to review the cases. it is more common against blacks, Hispanic Asians of multiple religious sects
Let's conveniently remind society of the definition of racist or racism, since most people are too stupid to understand…
"a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race"
Essentially, these girls were making fun of people, WHICH, goes on ALL THE TIME. What a bunch of babies, claiming racism.
Six women in the picture; how many others were taking pictures? Who took the picture in question? Who posted the picture on social media? My point being there might be more than the six students involved. Since we see six doesn't mean others were not culpable.
they spelled nipper
Hispanic is not a race for the fools saying it is. Someone who's hispanic refers to someone from a Spanish speaking country. There are white hispanics….. Oy vey.
Why the hell are they blurring their faces? This was a public photo meant for their very public yearbook… This is not a photo hacked from someone's smart phone. I saw all of their names and the unedited photo. Fortunately some people are posting it online. Hopefully idiots do not make threats, but hopefully this will set a good example. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. You can't behave this way. They're old enough to know what they did.
RACISM IS NO LONGER HIDDEN, WHEN IT'S EXPOSED.
This is going viral real quick now BET talking about it
Lots of words they could have spelled out for their friend keepsake picture; AS*SES, B*TCH, C*NTS, HO*S…. my favorite…LOSERS.
OH MY GOD!!! Six girls with letters on their shirts may have arranged themselves to spell out an offensive word! Obviously they all need to be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole! Also, the entire state, if not the whole country needs to go on lockdown for at least the next month! Arrest everyone at the school for not realizing that these girls might be rampaging racists! Arrest their families for not having the sense to strangle them in their cribs when they had to have seen the beginnings of their racist ways! The school needs to be bulldozed to the ground and the earth burned and salted since it will obviously be impossible for any sensible person to get within 100 miles of the place now without being overcome with crippling feelings of terror and despair! Mandatory grief consoling should be in effect for all students country-wide for at least the next year!
Arizona is a Mexican place
Oh come on, really? They just rearranged a few letters and symbols because it would be funny and controversial. It's not like they're going around burning crosses or anything.
What the fuck is wrong with white girls?
At the end of the day its just a FUCKING WORD. Get the FUCK over it!
What these girls did was stupid and immature. I think people are also taking it a little too far. Its not like these girls specifically made these shirts to say that and wore them to school. They were just single letters in a much larger group of letters. They were probably all hanging out and noticed that their shirts said ni**er and decided to take a picture because it was a coincidence that it spelled something not on purpose. Their friends probably noticed what their shits spelled and since they are immature teenagers thought it would be funny to take a picture. I highly doubt these girls are kkk members in training or even racist at all.
TRUMP 2016!!!!
Have any other children at school said that they were offended?
this word is only controversial because people make it. move on
Typical white racism.
Maybe they spelled out "NICHER". Why automatically assume the worst?
NICHER: A business that offers products or services not offered by any other business.
Can you imagine being a parent of these stupid female students?
These girls must hate own parents!
I graduated from that school and I'm disgusted. Desert Vista has been continuously going down hill. it's 2016 I can't believe people are still this insensitive.
