Black high school student, Jimmy Galligan, said he had no regrets about sharing a video online of a white classmate using a racial slur that resulted in her expulsion from her dream college.

Galligan had been in a history class at Heritage High School last year when he received a text message that included his classmate Mimi Groves' video using a racial slur.

The three-second clip features Groves looking into the camera and saying, "I can drive n*****s," as she was sitting in traffic, according to a Daily Mail report.

Groves was 15 years old when she sent the said Snapchat video to a friend in 2016.

Galligan said he reported the clip to school teachers and administrators. However, this yielded no response. Galligan then decided to hold onto the video until he thought it was the right time to post it publicly. He then posted it in June this year.

Galligan said: "I wanted to get her where she would understand the severity of that word."

"If I never posted that video, nothing would have ever happened. I'm going to remind myself, you started something," he further noted in a report.

University Revokes Admission Offer to Groves

The University of Tennessee announced Thursday that the potential incoming first-year student and member of the cheerleading would no longer be attending the university. That was after she was reported to use racial slurs on social media, as per a WVLT 8 news report.

A tweet from the university said that its Athletics department decided not to allow a prospective student to join the Spirit Program after the racist video and photo circulation online.

The university added that she would not be attending the university this coming fall.

"The university takes seriously our commitment to fostering a Volunteer community that values equity, inclusion, and that promotes respect for all people," the university tweeted.

The university stressed that they have a responsibility to support their Black students and create a place where they can feel safe.

The Video

The video initially circulated among some students at Heritage High shortly after Groves recorded it in 2016. It reportedly did not cause much of a movement after it was spread.

Galligan said that Groves' racial slur had been regularly used in the classrooms and hallways during his time in the Loudon County School district.

He added that he had not seen the video before receiving it last summer. At the time, Galligan and Groves were both seniors.

Groves was a championship-winning cheerleader and was planning to go to the University of Tennessee.

The university was known for its cheer team, which were reigning national champions. She was accepted into the group in May.

Meanwhile, George Floyd's killing has sparked racial injustice protests across the nation. Groves responded to the issue in a public Instagram post, saying that people should protest, donate, sign a petition, rally, and do something about it.

Groves added that people should support the Black Lives Matter movement.
