If you haven’t heard by now, TikTok influencer Keith Lee, who’s known for his food and restaurant reviews, had a bad experience while touring eating establishments in Atlanta, and now the city that has been widely recognized as the Black mecca is now getting dragged up and down social media for, apparently, being the mecca of restaurants to-go boxes might as well go straight into the trash. (This, despite the fact that most of his poor reviews seemed to be centered more around service than actual food quality.)

One of the restaurants he put on blast was Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss’ spot Old Lady Gang, where Lee said he had trouble getting a table after being told the restaurant doesn’t do takeout orders on the weekend.

There were also many online who criticized Lee’s bashing of the restaurant industry in Atlanta, but one person who has no problem dying on the anti-ATL eatery hill is Grammy award-winning rapper Cardi B, who is also no fan of restaurants or servers in Atlanta.

“First things first, right? I feel like Atlanta restaurants… They don’t like to make money,” Cardi said on Instagram Live. “I feel like they don’t like people, they don’t like their customers, they just don’t f***ing like it. First things first, right? You can barely order in Atlanta restaurants. Like you call, and they’re like, ‘Oh, we don’t take orders, we don’t take orders.’ It gets to the point that I literally have people that order for me, like, ‘Hey, can you just name-drop my name?’”

“First, they don’t do no pick-up orders, they don’t do deliveries, they just don’t do s**t,” she continued. “Second, Atlanta restaurants, right? They be closed on the most random s**t. Like, it’s like, you go looking for a restaurant on Google, and it’s like, ‘Oh, this s**t look good.’ Oh, they closed? What the f**k is that? What do you mean y’all n****s is closed Monday through Wednesday? Or they’ll just have the most random days closed, like, ‘Oh, they closed on Tuesday.’”

Oregon woman NuBrittany Smith and her mother Tasha are trying to relocate after a white man repeatedly threatened their lives, coming to their suburban Portland apartment and pantomiming a stabbing gesture.

The various incidents have been captured by the Ring camera outside of their front door.

Smith captions the terrifying videos on Instagram, “This man been harassing me since I moved into these apartments.”

The deranged white man wearing drooping black shorts keeps walking up to the door and waving a small knife in his hands. In most of the videos, he whispers profanities before he leaves. In one clip, he says he wants the woman to be whipped, and in another one, he utters something about slavery.

In one video that the woman posted on her social media profile, the bare-chested man warns her mother, “I’ll f–king rape your daughter, b–ch.”

A resurfaced photo of an older white man painting a biracial toddler’s toenails has spurred a lengthy tread of debate on X, formerly known as Twitter.

An account named Call To Activism shared the photo on July 27 with the caption: “My dad didn’t approve when l married a dark skin man. He’s some kind of a racist hillbilly. When l was pregnant he told me he didn’t want anything to do with my biracial daughter. Here, he is painting her toenails on her 3rd birthday.”

Here’s proof people can change.

It is unclear where the photo originated, but another X user pointed out that it was shared on Reddit at least seven years ago. The X post has been viewed over 13 million times on the platform.

While it received some warm responses from some viewers who thought the photo was touching, some argued that ridding someone of racism is not as simple as getting them to love a “dark-skinned” grandchild.

“Him painting his granddaughters nails does not mean he’s not a racist anymore,” wrote Diane Lewis, who faced criticism for her comment.

“Really? So you’re one of those that thinks once a racist always a racist? Sounds like a big time virtue signal to me,” one user said in a reply to Lewis.

“No I’m one of those that knows that a racist may have legitimate feelings for their offspring but that doesn’t erase their racist views,” Lewis argued.

The phenomenon that Lewis and others wrapped in the discussion is referring to is when a person believes that people from a particular racial group possess certain negative traits or characteristics but makes an exception for one person because of their personal connection. It also speaks to the belief that colorblindness promotes racial harmony, according to social psychologists.
