I Don't Think It's The Lesson You Intended, Though...

...and let's hope any future employers thinking about offering you a job take it to heart: 

“If I never posted that video, nothing would have ever happened,” he said. And because the internet never forgets, the clip will always be available to watch.
“I’m going to remind myself, you started something,” he said with satisfaction. “You taught someone a lesson.”
Let's hope that Jimmy Galligan soon learns that internet mobs are a two-edged sword. 

And that in casting a light on the supposed 'crimes' of his white classmate, he's also cast a light on the smug, self-satisfied and frankly psychopathic way he handles what he considers a 'wrong' done to him.

The internet does indeed never forget. Jimmy. You might have cause to curse that, rather than praise it...

He's a marked man now. This will haunt him for the rest of his life.

A vote of thanks too for the femiloons, who are apparently OK with a pretty girl having her life trashed for not showing enough respect to Creepy McLoserpants.

As Anonymous said, Jimmy Galligan is now perpetually marked as a Squealer, someone who no-one wants anything to do with.
To harbour some sort of grievance for that length of time and then to expose an extremely short video of a girl uttering regularly used teen-aged slang (in the US) (see any rap record lyrics) strikes me that he made a move on the girl, was rightly rejected and decided to get his own back.

BUT, in the article, why is the word "black" spelt with a capital B and "white" all lowercase?

"He's a marked man now."

I'd hope so. Certainly, and company that employs him in full knowledge of this should be viewed with suspicion.

"...who are apparently OK with a pretty girl having her life trashed for not showing enough respect to Creepy McLoserpants."

You know what they say, 'if it wasn't for double standards...'!

"...strikes me that he made a move on the girl, was rightly rejected and decided to get his own back."

The nature of the action makes me suspect you're right.

"BUT, in the article, why is the word "black" spelt with a capital B and "white" all lowercase?"

It's the new accepted fashion. You'd think editors would reject it as nonsense, but even the so-called 'right wing' press is slavishly following suit.
