Teen Who Posted Racist TikTok Pleads For People To Stop Sharing

ATLANTA, GA — A viral racist TikTok video that uses a racial slur has since been removed from the social media site, however, a Georgia teen from Carrollton posted it on Twitter last week. As of Tuesday, it has reached close to nine million views.

The two teens who posted the original TikTok video have been expelled from Carrollton High School, according to several media outlets.

Now, one of the students is begging people to stop sharing it.

Screenshots from an Instagram Story of an account that appeared to belong to the girl from the video said, "For the love of God, stop sharing the video and my name and picture."

Her Instagram Story puts the blame on the boyfriend, saying "he slowly normalized his racism on me." The girl also pleaded for people to stop contacting her college because "one mistake should not ruin a life."

The video shows a piece of paper with a racial slur written on it in a sink. A girl says that they are demonstrating the "making" of a black person. The boy says the slur. They both pour cups of water into the sink, indicating the addition of traits including "don't have a dad" and "eat watermelon and fried chicken."

The two go on to say that black people "rob people" — "specifically whites" — and don't make "good choices." The final step in their racist recipe is "go to jail."

An Instagram post from the account said, "I'm sorry to any blacks that got offended."

Gil O'Neal, a member of the school board, who is also black, told The New York Times that the incident "never should have happened in this day and age" and that the school community would "heal" and learn from it.

The school district released a statement on Friday announcing that the students were no longer enrolled at the school.
