The University Of Georgia is ground zero for the outrage swarm after a video of two students engaging in what in saner times could be dismissed as horseplay has hit social media and gone viral.
In the clip, one of the students is fake whipping a fellow frat member with a belt while saying “pick my cotton, n*gger” while others laughed – with the exception of one who should be considered to be a prime suspect for feeding the video into the online hate machine.
Further inflaming tempers is the boy on the receiving end saying “I’m not black” during what is being portrayed as another example of how white supremacists are running amok in a racist America despite the country having recently elected and then reelected a black man as president.

Via Newsweek:
University of Georgia fraternity has been suspended over a viral video apparently showing one of their members mockingly beating another with a belt while saying “pick my cotton, n*****” as others watched and laughed.
In the video, shared to Twitter, a Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) fraternity member can be seen whipping another man, who’s under bed covers, with a belt. “I’m not black!” the victim said during the incident.
“Pick my cotton! Pick my cotton, b****h,” the fraternity member responded, before another person, off camera, said: “Woah, you’re not using the right words.”
“Pick my cotton, n*****,” the person holding the belt restated.
UGA flew into action by releasing a statement condemning the video:

According to reports, at least four of the students in the video were expelled and will now have this on their permanent records – good luck with getting a job boys because it has come down to this in an America where an insane social media mob of bullies are able to destroy lives over such youthful indiscretions as this which is already being massively blown out of proportion thanks to the amplification power of Twitter, YouTube and Facebook and those who exploit the platforms.
The social justice warriors and leftists, in general, must be delighted because the incident will be exploited to reinforce their bogus narrative that slavery still exists and that all white people who have never owned slaves should be forced to cough up reparations money to blacks who never were slaves.
The insanity continues and one wonders how long it will be until someone like Kamala Harris or Cory Booker refer to it as a modern day lynching.
