Giggling Utah cheerleaders scream f*ck n*ggers in widely shared Instagram video

Giggling Utah cheerleaders scream ‘f*ck n*ggers’ in widely shared Instagram video
Travis Gettys 17 OCT 2017 AT 08:23 ET

School officials in Utah are investigating a video posted on social media showing five teenage white girls screaming racial slurs and profanity.

The Instagram video, which shows the girls giggling as they scream, “f*ck n*ggers,” was reported Monday to administrators with the Weber School District, reported Deseret News.

The girls were identified on social media as cheerleaders at Weber High School, but the district has not confirmed their identities.

As exemplifed by the republican "family values" role model, who is a five-time draft dodging, serial liar, business cheat, sexual predator, russian-backed, hate mongering mouth-wanker who is SQUANDERING millions of our hard-earned tax dollars on private luxuries for himself as goes goofy golfing day after day.

So the kids are following the example of their republican parents and their exalted "leader," Comrade Casino.. Sad.

Why isn't the republican party designated as a hate group yet?

that this is OK.

So, while they probably wish it weren't so public, they likely agree with the sentiment.

Everyone needs to see them doing it. It should follow them through their lives.

Examples. We need to make examples of such people.

I always hoped that generations following mine- I'm 55- would be MORE tolerant, MORE open-minded, and far less racist; unfortunately, it seems I've been too optimistic. This is unbelievably sad.

And we need to get to work fixing it before it's too late. When the young generation is a bunch of neo Nazis and white supremacists, something is very wrong.

I'm about your age. As a generation, ours was far more bigoted and intolerant as teens. That doesn't mean that there aren't still pockets of this country where this happens though - just that there are fewer such places.

It seems they may have racist parents. I mean where else would they get that from.

Have another contest or vote or however they select them, but these girls should be banned from cheerleading for the remainder of this year. They would be in my school district.

In my old school district, way back when, they would have had their behinds paddled. (not saying that's right; I would just expel them from the Cheerleading squad and suspend them from school).

feed off each other. Whether it's the town they live in, their church, their school or their state, they have learned that this kind of behavior is acceptable and that they will not be shamed or punished for it.

I would like to see them learn a very harsh lesson!
