So is it a bad autocorrect or photoshopped? They need to come to a consensus on how this isn't legitimate.

Yup. Zoom in and you can clearly see a difference.

Those last two g's look the same as the first g to me. I don't ever do photoshops though so it's not like I know.

frick them. They'll take any and every opportunity to bash Bama, sports or otherwise. This is why I don't cheer for the SEC. That and it's stupid.

She probably thought she posted "ninjas" and when she saw the edited screenshot thought it was an autocorrect issue so that's what she said. I'm betting she didn't even consider it was photoshopped when she offered that excuse.

The 2nd g in the word in question is definitely smaller in size and appears to be sharper in contrast and brighter in color.

What I'm trying to figure out is what word was originally there and who would stoop so low to photoshop a snap chat pic just to stir up this type of shite. I mean isn't there enough bullshite going on in the country with regards to racism without some loser causing more.

It was supposedly originally "ninjas" which is supposedly a term amongst sororities for a rushee that the sorority got but didn't really want

It was probably shopped by some Crimson white reporter to try and get a big scoop, and trash the Greek system.

Since it's obviously fake, now what? Does Bonner face any repercussions for not investigating this at all before she jumped all over it like a bitch in heat cause she has her own agenda?

Chi O officials and Bonner are claiming that it is 100% real...?

I'd like to see more concrete proof than just "take our word for it". At least that Photoshop guy made claims that he backed up. The Gs definitely look different.

You mean protecting the image of the university? That's not an agenda that's just doing her job.

And if the investigation does prove that it was shopped, then the one(s) responsible should face appropriate punishment. Someone is responsible for the offensive language, and Bonner didn't identify anyone by name in her email

So if someone went on your facebook and photoshopped "no ****s were hired today" on one of your pics and sent it to your boss, he would be in the right if he fired you immediately and made statement about it without truly looking into it?

It makes no sense for a sorority girl who knows that blacks were accepted to say they were not. Her saying no Ninja's (which is a common word in those circles) were accepted and some troll switching nj with gg makes allot more sense. The fact the G's are different sizes makes it seem obvious to me that this whole thing is a hoax

That's not what happened though. Bonner had nothing to do with kicking her out of her sorority. If it was shopped, then the sorority obviously fricked up by kicking her out but that's on them not Bonner.

And as I said, Bonner's statement didn't name anyone though, I agree, it should've been worded more prudently. If it named the girl and said she used the racial slur, then yes, that would warrant action if it turns out to be shopped.

The main thing I disagreed with though is your suggestion that Bonner's actions were motivated by a personal agenda. To everyone outside Bama's greek system, Bonner is viewed as someone that has been seriously behind on integration/race relations issues and has only taken action when forced to by negative press. Appears to me to be the opposite of someone having the type of agenda you suggest.

Her making the statement added tons of fuel to the fire and put Chi O in a very tough spot imo. She didn't name the girl but people all over campus know who she is and are talking about it, by tonight her name/twitter will probably be revealed online.

By agenda I meant Bonner immediately making statements to the media to make herself look like she's on top of these kind of issues. If she had stayed quiet (at least until a investigation was done) this probably wouldn't be that big of a story.

I know I'm overreacting but this whole thing seems like it was handed very incompetently by UA and Chi O.
