A suburban Michigan woman lost her rabid a** mind during a school board meeting when she dropped the n-word after her son had been suspended for doing the same thing.
On January 24, the Grosse Pointe woman whined about the 4-10 days suspension during the public comment segment of the meeting. The unidentified student attended Grosse Pointe South High School and was punished for saying the problematic word while using Snapchat.
The bold woman stood at the podium and gave a long-winded speech about why his use of the word shouldn’t have been an issue. She referenced that “his dark chocolate auntie” got him into NWA’s biopic
Straight Outta Compton.“Yeah, as a taxpayer and a high taxpayer on a single income. I feel like, ya know…there’s a lot of things that need to be discussed.”
The delusional parent proceeded to disregard the plight of Black boys, saying, “Well, you know what? I have two young white boys. One of which got in trouble for saying the n-word on Snapchat.”
She also alluded to the diversity meeting the district held as being a waste of time. The woman even suggested that because her son listened to old-school hip-hop, which has the word in “every song” and played blues riffs, he shouldn’t have been disciplined for dropping the n-word in “parody.”
The angry mom went on to say that her residence was made public following backlash.
“My address was put out there,” she said. “We were threatened, and why? Because he said [the N-word]. I’m sorry, this happens to be in every song. The FCC, the Jon Connors, the who’s who are in charge of this s**t, are basically allowing this.”
“Excuse me — you can finish but watch the language,” a board member said, interrupting the woman.
The mother then went on to describe herself as “an inner-city person” who “intentionally put” her son “in very primarily all Black dance class, sales school, you name it, I’m into all of those things.”
Sure, Jan.
The city’s residents were appalled and angered that school board members permitted the woman to continue speaking after using the slur.
School board member Margaret Weertz took issue with the racial slur and the woman’s rant.
“I’ve never heard the N-word in front of colleagues here, and this is very upsetting,” Weertz said. “We need to talk about politics. We don’t disparage people. We don’t use slurs of any kind.”
In a statement after the meeting, Grosse Pointe School Board President Joseph Herd addressed the failure to stop the woman from speaking.
“If you have watched any board meeting during my time as President, you have seen me emphasize how critical it is for us to model civil discourse and listen to all voices, even when we disagree,” Herd said. “By nature and professional training, I am a peacekeeper. But do not think my willingness to listen means I or the board agree with the use of such language. We condemn this language.”
