White Utah Student Says She Was Just ‘Messing Around’ After Posting ‘Happy National N*gger Day’ Lynching Photo 

Posted byBy Shamone Nelson | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

In southern Utah, two students of Hurricane High School posted a very disturbingly racist photo on Instagram. In the picture one of the students are pretending to hang herself with caption “Happy national n*gger day” on MLK Day. Steven Dunham, Director of Public Relations tells 2News that disciplinary action has been taken against these students but did not elaborate. Dunham did say, “We have a safe school’s policy and if they are not making other students feel safe in our own schools, in our own community, is significant in the punishments that they could face.”

The school district believes that the students took the picture at their job, a local pizzeria. Once their job found out about this offensive photo they were fired.

One of the students commented on the photo and said ‘I apologize if that picture offended anyone,’ she wrote. ‘i wasn’t doing it to target anyone or make anyone mad. i was messing around and i should have realized what i was doing. i’m sorry.’ She deleted her twitter account and made her Instagram private.

The people of the Hurricane community were outraged. One of the parent in the community said “It’s your perspective, your mind set on other races, that all starts completely at home with your parents, with your morals, with your believes. All of that starts at home.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
