I know this is Terrible but how much trouble will I get in?
They didnt call my dad or assign me iss( in-school suspension) but me and my friend have a thing that we do its sorta racial but I'm white and she's black and we usually keep this joke between us but yesterday she was getting all ghetto which Is weird because she acts white there is a strong difference between white girls and black girls in my town and I told her to calm her black *** which I know sounds racist but IM NOT RACIST. I get what I said could offend somebody and it did offend my teacher but can I even get in trouble for this? They didn't punish me on Friday and they usually dont wait and I feel really bad and she knows it was a joke and i tried to explain that to the principal and my teacher but they didnt say anything. And I am beyond sorry If this offends anybody reading it as i will completely stop this joke and no I wasn't raised by racist parents or anything but the thing I said came off as racist and I understand this. it will be stopped.

it seems you are caught up in the system of racism by the establishement in this case,in your case i would plead defense that all of this would of been brushed under the rug if you where some black kid that aloowed himself to slang the black girl in ghettho like words... tell them that you know the girl and that you wont repeat in public for them but stand up for yourself cuz they will try to puzzle you in in a racist like guilt complex.
be carefull in the future using words that other races compile themselves too appropriate, racial tension in america are still very high and its best for all to stay away from these sort of debates until things somewhat change

I like to refer to things like that as conservative and ghetto.
I was raised in a conservative house but I'm half black half Panamanian and I have a cousin who half Asian half Panamanian who live with us and we joke on each others race a lot.
And there's nothing wrong with it as long as it doesn't leave us.
So you really shouldn't get in much trouble.

U could get a criminal record for being racist
I know it isn't that bad but someone in my old school made up a song about a guy in our school and someone told it to our head teacher and gave him a criminal record but the person he made the song abouts mum didn't let him get a criminal record.

Its not so terrible, and you shouldn't get in trouble for it. What friends say to each other might be perceived differently by others, but if your friend didn't get upset by it then that's all that really matters.
