GROSSE POINTE, Mich – A parent caught everyone in attendance off guard when she used a racial slur and profanity in her public comments during a Grosse Pointe board meeting.

Some board members are receiving some community blowback for not acting swiftly after the remarks were made.

“Well, you know what? I have two young white boys. One of which got in trouble for saying the n-word on Snapchat,” said the parent.

Monday’s Grosse Pointe School Board meeting was pretty run of the mill until this parent spoke during public comment.

She was simultaneously upset over some elements of the district’s recent diversity meeting and also about the fallout from her son’s suspension.

Our address was put out there, and we were threatened all because he said the (n-word),” the parent said. “I’m sorry this happens to be in every song. The FCC, the John Conners the whos who, they use (n-word), they basically are allowing this and our kids.”

“Excuse me; you can finish but watch the language,” said a board member, cutting the woman off.
Afterward, some of the board members addressed the comments.

1. People who claim their kids only say that word because they heard it in media are full of shit...

There are multiple successive generations of white kids (at the upper end now middle-aged adults) who grew up listening to rap/hip-hop, or whatever media is insinuated here, who understood implicitly that "nope, that word isn't for me to use" while at the same time other kids of the same age consuming the same media with other parents decided that "yep, I'm gonna say that"

Maybe the issue is what is said/permitted in the household. Not the fucking FCC.
