If you haven't heard the story of University of Alabama student Harley Barber, let me catch you up for a minute:

Harley Barber posted a video on her finsta account in which she repeatedly used the n-word. After posting the video, her followers called her out on her actions and reported what she said. The next day, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day at that, Barber posted ANOTHER video saying she didn't regret what she said. In the video, Barber repeatedly used the same racial slur. Following this incident going viral, Barber was removed as a student from the University of Alabama and is no longer considered a member of her sorority, Alpha Phi.

Following being removed from both her university and her sorority, Barber said, "I feel so, so bad and I am so sorry."

Here's the thing, Harley Barber. You are NOT sorry for what you said. You are sorry because you got caught.

I'm not an idiot to the world of finsta, in fact, I have one myself. I know well that the average college student posts things on their finsta that are not appropriate - hence why the accounts are private and typically the only people we let follow us are close friends. But racism is where it crosses the line. It's one thing to post pictures of you, a college freshman I assume, drinking alcohol on your finsta. It's when you post videos of yourself using a HIGHLY inappropriate and racially charged video that you deserve your punishment whole-heartedly.

You are not sorry for what you said. You meant EVERY word you said, hence why you found it appropriate to post the second video and drop the n-word multiple times. You don't care that you're a racist and I highly doubt you'll ever change your behavior.

What you DO care about is the fact that your ignorance got your removed from not only your dream school but also your sorority, the one you were clear to say in your second video that you dreamed of being in since high school. In that video, you made it seem like the only thing you cared about was your reputation with Alpha Phi, and honestly, that wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

I'm typically the kind of person that gives people the benefit of the doubt. I assume that regardless of what they did or said, they are sorry when they say they're sorry and genuinely prove that they regret their actions. It's your second video that proves to me that you are not sorry for what you did - you're just begging for mercy to keep the life of your dreams.

I sincerely hope that you are sorry for what you've said, even if I'm still not convinced. I hope that you realize you are, indeed, a racist. You've learned the hard way that attending a school in the south doesn't give you an automatic free pass to racism. I'm glad that the University of Alabama and Alpha Phi responded in the way they did and that you are removed. Racism should never, ever be tolerated and it is my hope that after realizing what a racist post on finsta can do for you, you'll begin to see that your behavior is unacceptable. Maybe eventually you will be sincerely sorry.
