Woman Chases Down Teen Who Called Her the N-Word, Forces Him to Explain Himself — Then Facebook Pulled Her Video

A Black woman took matters into her own hands this week when she confronted a white teen who allegedly called her a racial slur in a store parking lot last month.

Facebook user “Ayo Henry” filmed the moment she rolled up on the suspected racist as he biked along the side of the road. The young woman said she spotted the teen from her car as she was driving home from practice.

“Hey you little s—t!” she shouts from the passenger’s side window. “Remember that time  you called me a n—-r?! Remember that.”

Frightened, the teen takes off on his bicycle, scurrying behind an apartment building. The woman isn’t far behind, however, as she hops out of her car and chases him.

“Run, Forrest, run!” she yells. “Run you little white supremacist piece of s–t. The n—–s gonna get ya!”

Once she finally catches up with him, she delivers a little tough love to the young man.

“Who’s your mother?” she repeatedly asks the teen. The boy eventually apologizes for his comments, saying he was in a “bad mood” that day. “Ayo Henry” then presses him further, asking where he picked up such language and racist attitudes.

“I was hanging out with the wrong people,” said the teen, who’s sporting a hoodie with a large Confederate flag emblazoned on it.

“It still looks like you’re hanging with the wrong people,” she replies sternly. “We’re all people. You understand that right?”

Frustrated, she leaves the teen with two nuggets of advice: rethink the shirt and the company you keep.

“I’m a mother, so you better take this as a lesson,” she said, noting that she could’ve been “the wrong Black person.” “I don’t know who’s kid you are, but you need to come correct.”

** UPDATE **
Hours after posting, Ayo Henry’s video was flagged and removed by Facebook for “violating community hate speech standards. ”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
