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.

      On the other hand, she did get convicted and is facing some consequences, so that’s a small bright spot in the story.

        True, but the fact that she thought this was OK to do in the first place baffles me.

      Only if you read the news, which is designed to repeat horrible things all day.

      Fortunately you can reverse-engineer it: don’t read the news, and your faith in humanity will increase.

        Also, don’t go outside, or interact with humanity in any way. “Ignorance is bliss.”
