A former University of Kentucky student pleaded guilty Monday to assault and other charges for a racist attack on a Black student that was captured on video.

Sophia Rosing, 23, pleaded guilty to four counts of fourth-degree assault, one count of disorderly conduct and public intoxication, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.

    The video was captured and shared on social media, and showed an intoxicated Rosing spouting racial slurs more than 200 times in 10 minutes.

    Jesus Christ… If it wasn’t so disgustingly awful that would almost be impressive… That’s a slur at least every 3 seconds!

    How rotten does ones brain have to be to summon up that much hatred?

      Being born into it, usually.

      Generational racism gets more intense over time. While there may be fewer racists in general, the ones that are out there are extra super racist. Kinda like condensing a really sour and salty sauce

        Typically, though, most racists who go to college or the military after leaving their racist family/town learn that Black people aren’t “savages” like they’re taught; they’re just people like anyone else.

        This girl’s college experience seems to have done the opposite, emboldening her to go super racist while intoxicated. It’s sad, really, that at 21 she had such evil thoughts about another race.
