Responding with righteous fury when someone is being racist is totally valid, but another way is to have fun with their dumbness. You make them look like an idiot. When a Black guy was merely walking the streets of Massachusetts, a passing White old man figured that was enough for him to be racist. After calling the Black man a slur, instead of responding with anger, he decided to have some fun at the elderly man’s expense.
Shared by TikToker El, the video reveals an older man with a cane, and a caption claiming the man called El a slur. El is some 20 to 30 feet away and, with perfect accuracy, tosses a snowball at the guy. It lands dead center on his back, followed by El laughing and telling him “Happy Holidays!”
Apparently, being hit with a snowball is enough to have a meltdown as bad as a toddler. Of course, it’s less about the snowball and more about someone calling you out for your racist shenanigans. The old man starts to protest, but El laughs it off and says, “You’ll be all right. It’s a snowball,” but the poor old boomer wasn’t having it.
“What the [expletive]! You threw a snowball at me?” the old man says in disbelief. He asks why—which is incredible he couldn’t put two and two together — and El tells him why. The old man starts to raise his cane and hobbles after El, but he nonchalantly jogs and pretends to be scared. He continues to throw snowballs while the old man lets another slur fly.
The old man tries to pull out the “you’re a reverse racist” card and accuse El of being racist against him. Of course he knew of some stupid concept heard in conservative circles. He explains to El, “You’re using my racism against me,” to which El laughs, writes him off, and tells him to have a good day. So, wait, did he understand he was being racist or not? Chalk it up to racism and stupidity.
One commenter pointed out what we’re all thinking: “I love how you had the spirit of a mischievous child whilst ignoring the deep rooted evil inside of him!! Beautiful smile by the way!” Sometimes, having a little fun with a racist is the best way to fight back.
Another person pointed out, “I mean, you threw snowballs instead of hands,” and that’s true. Stopping to point and laugh at these poor fools is a great way to brush them off.
