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.

Good for the woman who was attacked to maintain composure. That must have been really hard. From the article:
Spring said she understood it was critical that she remained composed even while being attacked.
“I wanted to make sure I acted appropriately so that I could keep my job because the script could have been flipped at any time if I had retaliated,” Spring said
It’s so heartbreaking that the bolded part is systemic racism. Like she can’t defend herself because that terrible white woman would have pretended to be the victim? Fuck all of that and fuck that white girl.
Bullies successfully pretending to be the victim is extremely common, even more so when their targets are minorities.
It’s systemic sexism, too.
Also workerism. I mean the deference workers are supposed to show for customers, according to management. Based on the worship of money I guess
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.
Reminds me of the Asians in the Library rant from a UCLA student.
so we all know I’m not the most politically correct person so don’t take this offensively
Definitely a circa 2010 moment lmfao the bigot equivalent of “hold my beer.”
Wow, that was already really bad and then she started doing an impression
At least he turned it into a great song
Misdemeanor assault charges for a hate crime. This prosecutor should be investigated.
Meh… Didn’t get way Scott free, already a big win in USA
I think the former student is in for a rude awakening that will last her a lifetime. And I wonder if she realizes that.
I wonder if she can even stand to look at herself in that video. And yet it will resurface continuously. Her deed will haunt her forever.
I feel very sorry for Ms. Spring and what she had to endure. This is so wrong and indicative of the systemic racism.
The incident is also being reviewed by the school.
Capilouto said the university condemns “this behavior and will not tolerate it under any circumstance” and that images in the video do not honor “our responsibilities to each other.”
They better kick the bitch out.
Edit: guess I skimmed the headline to get to the meat of the story, my bad.
Check the headline.
Oh good
