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.
When is she gonna be invited to headline a Trump rally?
Well her going to jail is probably for the best. See how she does in genpop
Imagine saying the n-word 100 times in an assault on someone and only being halfway done. 😬
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 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.
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 just 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 ).
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 get probation instead of incarceration if you are white. Where things were roughly equal is if you are being sentenced to incarceration (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.
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.
200 times?
Over the course of 10 minutes. That means she said it about every 3 seconds…
You know they say that drinking alcohol kind of reveals who you are inside. Well we now know who she really is. The assault confirms that.
Eh. Maybe a glass or two. At this level, you’re just fishing around for violent thrills.
Good. I remember seeing that video back when this all happened and she’s a vile piece of shit.
Anyone else getting serious larval-stage-Marjorie-Taylor-Greene vibes from this mug shot or just me?

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.
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.
Who counted the N words
I don’t know but they beat me to it.
Hopefully lawyers that can fine her separately for each and every one.
can you get fined for saying a word in a country with the first amendment? how dumb is this even if what she did was wrong its not illegal to say the N word. The assault however she should get in legal trouble for.
Probably not, but I would love to see this somehow turned into part of the assault since that barrier was broken here thus making her actions criminal.
The N word proves it was racially motivated.
It’s like 4 minutes of straight up repeating the n-word. Besides her racism, how fucked up she was to vomit out that long of a manifesto?
Maybe it’s like coprolalia, only IRL I’ve only met people inserting “бля епты” instead of pauses, sometimes f-words.
Да даже пусть она использовала н-ворд как междометие перед каждым словом, либо она стремилась к достижению мирового рекорда, либо она не фильтровала базар зачитывая целый получасовой спич. Я не вижу как она могла кидать предъявы и накинуть 200 таких слов в процессе. В любом случае, говно она а не человек и я её сорт на вкус определять не вызвусь.
Good
Not good enough. Her victim says she’s clearly not remorseful.
She should be kept in prison until she really understands what she did wrong.
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?
Mentioning it once is relevant. Mentioning it twice is trying to use it as an excuse.
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.
Talk about White Washing a story.
I’m very confused here. She is white, pretty, and went before a Kentucky Judge. How was she sentenced to anything?
/s
3 words: national media attention
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
Good ol’ Kappa Chi Iota.
That’s a bingo
Gotta be able to say “see, impartial.”
