Found it, and it was certainly disgusting (and the parody was well done once context was established). But is expulsion really necessary for a tasteless, juvenile stunt without any actual threats? Show that video to any African-Americans you know and ask them if they consider that a threat. Plus, this dude is going to get his ass stomped every day in school. They had to remove him for his safety too.

I didn’t want to say anything more that made it sound like I was defending him, but I hope the only wrestling booking he gets going forward is a hardcore match against New Jack.

There's something especially chilling about this. It's hard to put into words, but like... this is supposed to be funny, right? But there's no jokes. Nothing approaching a joke. No irony, no violations of expectation, no wordplay. So it's not the "ha ha" kind of humor, it's the kind of humor where you recognize familiar cues and symbols and so feel camaraderie with the rest of the intended audience. The point is to make racists feel warm and at-home.

The incredible irony is in the "Makes Good Choices...there's nothing there." line, as they're recording this while looking in a mirror and posting it online.

The point is to make racists feel warm and at-home. I think the frightening part is, there were jokes. At least in intention. The humour of mocking the stereotypes that they believe to be truths, the humour of what black people are in their eyes, the humour of kicking at people they believe themselves superior to. A racist is supposed to laugh at each of those things for being the funny truth of why black people are inferior to them, and that is terrifying.

Took some effort to find it and... Yeah, that is pretty astoundingly racist.
The only thing even kind of funny is that these morons have the audacity to say someone else doesn't "make good choices" while doing something this incredibly stupid.

There's a pretty huge world of difference between simply saying something mean and saying, "All people with dark skin are idiotic criminals who never make good life choices, rob specifically white people, have no fathers, and will end up in prison."

I'm deleting that little detour.
Word of warning to everyone on this - think REAL hard before you post stupid shit. You only make yourself look stupid.

I just always love to reference Dave Chappelle when he talks about stereotypes, and how people say all black people like fried chicken and watermelon. "Yeah, I like it. Not because I'm genetically predisposed, but because it's delicious! If you don't like watermelon and fried chicken, there's something wrong with YOU!" lol And another comedian who talked about those same ignorant assholes who say all Jewish people care about is money. "You know who else likes money? EVERYBODY! What do you do on payday? Tell your boss, "Man, don't give me that money! That stuff's for jews! Pay me in fireworks." 😁

What the f***? I have no words for this, that was just absolutely disgusting. I literally can't say anything else without risking a ban.

This came up as one of the top searches on Google, so...I hope this asshole got what he wanted. Everybody knows who you are, jackass. Good luck with the rest of your life.

Well, that's gross. For people unsure why they'd upload this, I think something that must be remembered about bigots is, they usually don't think they have a problem. They think they are "telling it like it is", that this is how everyone truly feels, and that people who say otherwise are giving into pressure or fear of pushback. To them, this is the "real" world, and people who try to spin themselves as "race realists", "gender realists", etc, think they're the only ones with the spines to say how the world really works. It's thoroughly gross, and it's a reason why even apologies from known racists deserve scrutiny, because it's one thing to recognize you upset people, but it's another to look at how your viewpoint had been poisoned from its very foundation. It's not his beliefs that surprise me, it's not knowing that something like this could absolutely f*** him, especially as he persues a career in the public eye. I imagine most people with problematic beliefs have self-preservation instincts that stop them from dropping *this* kind of nuke on themselves. Even if you believe you're an enlightened one or whatever, how do you not realize -- in this day and age -- that there are a whole bunch of people who disagree (to put it mildly) with you and won't let you off the hook? How?! It's crazy that the whole video-making process carried out without him noticing the raging avalanche of reasons not to do it. A very special kind of stupid.

It’s not a situation of “Well, I see what he was going for he just failed miserably” it’s straight up “What in the f*** was your game plan here bud?” There’s no f***ing joke there. I’m not sure what TickTock is, maybe he’s just dumb as f*** and posted something public he meant to send private because I don’t see any possible world where a fully mentally functioning human being considers it a good idea to post that

So, the girl in the video is just going to go ahead and dig her grave with her tongue.
She's responding to people's comments with shit like, "Hell no, I'm not sorry!" and "At least my daddy has the money to make this go away, unlike you *racist comment*!"
Yeah, sweetheart...I don't think your daddy has enough money to remove this from the internet. Better use that cash for total facial reconstruction surgery and a name change.

I doubt the school would expel if this was a one off as they could plead the drink, immaturity and/or stress from the lockdown, I think the school has expelled because there's been troubling behavior now from the pair of them for a while now and this was what convinced them that they are a lost cause.
