A white TikToker sparked outrage by twisting the term “Black fatigue” to excuse racist behavior. She claimed society is exhausted by so-called “ghetto ratchet behavior” in Black communities, using a Minnesota playground racial slur incident as her proof. Her video blamed Black Americans for “brawls on cruises” and other public disturbances as justification for racism.
The TikToker’s rant tried to rebrand racism as a reasonable response to frustration, saying “Black fatigue is real” and people are “sick and tired” of bad behavior. She mocked Black struggles with sarcasm, asking, “What? Black person blaming white person for all their problems?” Her deleted video exposed how some weaponize social trends to push harmful stereotypes.
Meanwhile, TikTok’s “Gingers Are Black” trend accidentally highlighted white-on-white prejudice
