In a shocker - Grosse Pointe is racist against blacks

I know, I know I'm just as surprised as you are.

GROSSE POINTE FARMS, Mich. (WJBK) - Grosse Pointe South High School students are facing the consequences after school officials discovered pictures displaying the N-word across their stomachs.



What does "N-Word" and blurring out the word ****** really do? I'm sure anyone reading the story just inserts the word "******" into it when they're reading.

Why can't we just call a spade a spade?

Not children. And since that's an obvious screenshot of a tv report, I can understand why it's blurred. (Also because the FCC insists.)

Social media always exposes idiots.

Good luck to these people trying to find a good job...as soon as HR searches them on social media or anything, this will pop up.

I get why the mouth breathers downriver say vile stuff on social media, they work at McDs and have nothing to lose. But these kids being from GP..I assume they are fairly well set up for a good life. Going to be much tougher for them now.

FCC does not insist that ****** be censored. Also news broadcasts are a safe harbor in regards to language.

Fuck me Daddy

I really don't think that either of those statements are remotely true. But I'm not willing to argue with you on it because I simply don't care about such a ridiculously useless argument about semantics.

You can go ahead and do that all you want. Doesn't mean the FCC won't shut your station down afterwards though. This is a really dumb argument to begin with so I'll just leave you with this.

https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/obscene-indecent-and-profane-broadcasts

For instance, in In re Fox Television Stations, Inc. (1993), the FCC ruled:

Similarly, we cannot deny grant of a waiver based on allegations, even if true, that Murdoch will practice, as he purportedly did under his former ownership of the Post, racist and inflammatory journalism. That is because we are proscribed from interfering with a newspaper’s exercise of freedom of expression. Near v. Minnesota, 283 U.S. 697 (1931). Even if such allegations were directed at WNYW, a broadcast station over whose content we do have a limited role, see, e.g., FCC v. Pacifica Foundation, 438 U.S. 726, 747 (1978), both the First Amendment and Section 326 of the Act forbid us from censoring subject matter and opinions relating to religious beliefs, race or national background, regardless of how offensive they may be, e.g., Thaddeus L. Kowalski, 46 F.C.C.2d 124 (1974), aff’d sub nom. Polish American Congress v. FCC, 520 F.2d 1248 (7th Cir.1975) [holding that broadcast of “Polack jokes" couldn’t be restricted -EV], cert. denied, 424 U.S. 927 (1976), and from curbing expression, outside narrowly defined classes of speech, such as indecency, that does not involve “a clear and present danger of a serious substantive evil that rises far above public inconvenience, annoyance, or unrest.”

So go ahead tell polack jokes or say ******

You're not real quick on nuanced sarcasm, are you?

Grosse Pointe is racist against blacks because a resident wrote ****** in marker on herself?

Of course, EVERYBODY knows that. They hate the Jews too but let a couple live there.

by "tougher" do you mean they'll enjoy their job working for the Trump campaign?

Bob you're a self-proclaimed, anti-government guy so why are you so quick to jump on the played out government elite bandwagon for the next president (Clinton)?

I don't get it.
