Sophia Rosing was banned from the University of Kentucky campus after the incident
A college student who went on a drunken tirade using the n-word 200 times will now head to jail for a year.
Sophia Rosing, a former student at the University of Kentucky, became infamous in 2022 for her rant that was captured on video and shared on social media. In the video, Rosing was caught using the slur at a fellow student and assaulting her.
Rosing previously pleaded guilty to four counts of fourth-degree assault and other charges. When she entered her plea, she apologized to fellow student Kylah Spring and members of the Black community.
This week, a judge in Kentucky sentenced Rosing to 12 months in custody and 100 hours of community service, according to Lex 18.
…
In the infamous video Spring said that Rosing struck her numerous times and kicked her in the stomach. As Spring is explaining what happened to her, Rosing can be heard yelling at her in the background, calling the Black student the n-word and a “b****” throughout the footage.
Watch her get out in a year and be invited to go on the Republican lecture circuit to talk about how woke politics is ruining American college campuses.
This isn’t a joke, I seriously think this will happen.
The woke liberals are trying to cancel her for the innocent act of being a racist asshole who assaulted a black woman! They’re out of control!
She’s pretty and blond and an idiot. She’ll be on Fox News as a host shortly after.
At this point, i genuinely trust that could be a realistic outcome. That episode may have been her very own Rittenhouse Moment™ putting her on conservative radars across the country
A whole year? Somebody is optimistic.
Yeah she was probably a good Christian too
!remindme 1 year
(we need this bot! I have no programming knowledge or skills but I’m going to make this happen one way or another)
there is a way:
@remindme@mstdn.social 1 year
I don’t see anything… Does it work?
yes, you get a PM from the bot :-)
It should just post a reply and offer a link for people to also subscribe to the same reminder. But I’m not complaining, just talking in ideal scenarios
I would imagine that is her plan all along
I’m very confused here. She is white, pretty, and went before a Kentucky Judge. How was she sentenced to anything?
/s
How rich is her father?
You’re asking the right questions. Not rich enough, apparently
I guess he was rich enough for 150 slurs, but she had to cross the limit.
Regardless, I would put good money on her being in a sorority.
Soon to be a member of KCI, Kentucky Correctional Institution

That’s a bingo
Gotta be able to say “see, impartial.”
3 words: national media attention
When is she gonna be invited to headline a Trump rally?
However, Spring said after the plea hearing that she did not believe Rosing was remorseful.
Yeah, I can look at that mugshot and tell she’s not. Glad (and surprised) she got actual punishment.
Edit: I’m making the assumption that’s the reflection of a bright orange jumper I see at the bottom of the photo, and the typical blandly colored cinderblock wall in the background.
The smug satisfaction of someone who knows she has a career as a Fox News anchor or Repub politician on lock.
That is the sort of smug little smirk that says, “that n- deserved what she got.” No remorse at all.
💯
All that hideousness and just gets a year of jail and 100 hours of community service. Fucking Kentucky pantywaist conservative judge.
Good. I remember seeing that video back when this all happened and she’s a vile piece of shit.
This is “higher” education in US?
Clearly there is a problem at the primary level.
“That’s a feature, not a bug.” –Republicans
They’re all just different tiers of parasitic businesses, intent on sucking up taxpayer funds to feed their bloated administrative staff. The “education” is secondary to revenue streams, and has been for decades.
Well her going to jail is probably for the best. See how she does in genpop
Naggers?
She basically got off without any real punishment.
She got expelled, has no degree, and will be found out for life when applying for work. Jail time is the least of her concerns.
Lol i don’t think people under stood the concept of In vino Veritas whoever doenvoted you. I think they thought you were implying the message of the woman yelling removed 200 times was the “hidden truth” and not that the hidding truth being that drunkyMcdrunk face being super fuckin racist is the actual underlying truth you are nodding to.
Interesting that the Independent made sure to mention that this student was drunk not once, but twice, as if that were an excuse.
No one says that word when drunk if they wouldn’t be willing to say it out loud in certain company.
This is from the Romanian penal code so it may be inaccurate for other countries. I am also not qualified to do anything related to law
If you are under the effects of a substance, you can be considered not breaking the law in some conditions
In the US, the penalties can be higher if you’re drunk and commit a crime. Being drunk is in and of itself a crime in the US (public intoxication) so you at least get that as an additional charge.
Her being drunk is relevant to reporting the truth. They’re not excusing her actions but giving context. As you pointed out, she may never have said these slurs in her open life, but she was probably thinking them and alcohol greased the wheels on her racism.
That’s some serious grease. To go from zero n-words sober to two hundred times drunk?
Nah, it’s pretty normal.
You see it a lot with people who are generally seen as “nice people” when not drunk and then turn into very violent people when the are drunk (a member of my family was like that).
A lot of people run around with pretty nasty issues that they do not act on because of social inhibitions and/or awareness of the social consequences of acting on those, and alcohol lowers those inhibitions and the “think twice before you open your mouth” that makes people take those secondary implications they’re aware of into account - alcohol just takes away the internal overseer that was stopping them to be who they really are.
This is not excusing their actions: when not drunk those people are NOT nice inside, they just act nicer than they are because they know the consequences of doing otherwise and don’t want to feel social shame, or in other words their being “nice” is just a mask and they’ll probably act on those not nice things in their minds if they feel they can get away with it (IMHO, this is why some people who are nice, meek and even submissiness when powerless, turn very nasty when they find themselves in a position of power).
No it’s true. A relative of mine is like this as well, unfortunately.
Mentioning it once is relevant. Mentioning it twice is trying to use it as an excuse.
Talk about White Washing a story.
I think you may be forgetting that if you’re drunk, the consequences can’t get you.
Ah, but the rhythm will get you. Tonight.
That’s true. Good point.
Anyone else getting serious larval-stage-Marjorie-Taylor-Greene vibes from this mug shot or just me?
I’m getting “crazy ex girlfriend” vibes from her. The type that would fake a pregnancy, break out your car windows, and stalk you for years after the fact.

Hey you leave them out of this. Ocean Avenue is a treasure.
I’m reminded of the “Asians in the library” chick from like 10 years ago or something.
Imagine saying the n-word 100 times in an assault on someone and only being halfway done. 😬
how long was the assault? That’s like dozens of hard Rs per minute. What a psycho.
I imagine it was a lot of 'ga’s too.
10 minutes. That’s 3 per second.
Those are all the stifled n-words shes been holding back thus far in her brief lifespan thus far. They all came out at once
How far?
Thusly
Ah now it’s clear, thank you kind patron.
How was this not elevated to a hate crime? That sentance is weak sauce for a racially motivated attack
That is apparently determined at sentencing in Kentucky.

So blame the judge.
It’s hard not to just be blunt here. She’s a white girl. Sentencing guidelines and police protocols are different for people matching that description. It’s a known, researched phenomenon.
It’s not unreasonable to say that the police work for non-impoverished, non-overweight white women. It’s noticeable in how quick white women are to call the police and think the police will help with a problem.
Statistically, you are roughly about 1000% more likely to experience police violence if you are not a white woman.
It’s not really for being a white girl, it’s primarily for being a girl.
Women get 63% lighter sentences for the same crimes as men ( https://academic.oup.com/aler/article-abstract/17/1/127/212179 ), while there is no racial gap between white and another race, whether among men, or women, that’s even half that wide ( https://www.ussc.gov/research/research-reports/2023-demographic-differences-federal-sentencing ).
Her being white is most certainly a factor. Racial judicial bias is definitely a thing. When you add in gender judicial bias you end with a tap on the wrist for a most egregious crime.
The first article doesn’t primarily address racial disparities within the context of gender. The second one, which does, notes pronounced leniency for white women vs. women of other races. As a woman, you are between 12-30% less likely to receive probation instead of incarceration if you aren’t white. Where things were roughly equal is if you are being incarcerated, which is more likely if you’re not white as noted above, you are likely to get a roughly equivalent period of incarceration for an equivalent crime. All of these outcomes will be significantly worse if you’re a man.
None of that contradicts the simple point I made, which is that being a woman instead of a man is a vastly larger advantage in the US with respect to judicial leniency, than being white instead of another race, and yet certain biased people always seem to want to imply/argue that the latter is the primary factor, when it isn’t.
As an analogy, it’s kind of like how when people are talking about rape, discourse is typically more likely to center on ‘jumped in a dark alley’ type scenarios, even though the fact is that that is literally the least common way rape happens, and that statistically, it’s very rare for the assailant to be a stranger to the victim.
I was just clarifying for others where you said that sentencing isn’t harsher for women of color, which isn’t true for sentencing in general, only for sentences involving incarceration, which non-white women are more likely to receive.
you said that sentencing isn’t harsher for women of color
Literally never said that. I just pointed out that being the ‘wrong’ sex hurts you more than being the ‘wrong’ race.
White men get sentenced much more harshly than black women for the same crime, for example. That’s a fact.
It’s both. The criminal justice system treats white folks better than black folks, and women better than men. Depending on what exactly you’re measuring which one is the larger gap can go either way. For sentencing, sex means more than race - so she’d get a longer sentence if she were a black woman, but an even longer one if she were a white man, and a still longer one if she were a black man.
I’m actually surprised a white girl got a whole year for an assault. And not even a suspended sentence!
I’ve seen cases where it’s like “white woman stabs boyfriend in heart, boyfriend narrowly survives due to prompt medical attention, 30 day suspended sentence” or “woman sexually assaults minor boy, gets herself pregnant from the assault, no punishment for her and boy owes woman child support for being her victim.”
It’s both.
Holy shit lol, I know it’s both! I never said it’s not both. I’m just pointing out the common misconception, that people tend to assume the wrong one of the two is statistically a bigger factor. And not just bigger, but much bigger.
“woman sexually assaults minor boy, gets herself pregnant from the assault, no punishment for her and boy owes woman child support for being her victim.”
In case anyone thinks this person is being hyperbolic here: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/09/02/statutory-rape-victim-child-support/14953965/
Can you now address their bizarre assertion that the police only work for slim people?
Most broader social biases translate into higher rates of police violence, albeit not always evenly. Weight bias in society is a fairly well-established phenomenon. It translating into an increased risk of police violence hardly seems a stretch.
Your best chance of a low-risk encounter with the police and a favorable outcome in the justice system is to be a slim, upper-middle-class, college-educated white woman. If you only get to choose one, as the commenter above noted, choose woman.
Attractiveness bias is a thing. In America, slim people are perceived as more attractive so tend to get treated more leniently.
