TikTok user Lane Meeks woke up on the wrong side of social media as she has been trolled online for her racist comment.
Racism has always been a sensitive issue. It has led to many violent activities, sexual assault, and even death.
Last year, George Floyd’s brutal murder shook the world and gave rise to the historic protest, where people from all over the world united together to get justice for him.
There have been many events in the past where even celebrities had faced racist comments. In July 2021, some England black players were targeted online by racist trolls following their Euro 2020 defeat.
Celebrities like David Beckham, Little Mix, England’s football manager Gareth Southgate, and Boris Johnson condemned the racial abuse online.
Once again, a TikTok star was a target of a racist comment. The star gave a befitting reply to the fellow TikToker, who apparently goes by the name Lane Meeks, via a viral song on TikTok.
