Adin Ross sparks backlash after asking fans to \u201cact Black\u201d for money on Omegle YouTube: Adin LiveTwitch streamer Adin Ross is facing backlash after uploading a video wherein he asked strangers on Omegle to \u201cact Black\u201d for a cash prize. Adin Ross is one of Twitch\u2019s most prominent streamers, where he boasts over 7 million followers on the broadcasting platform. The influencer has even rubbed elbows with major celebrities like Kanye West, and has become a household name in the content creation space. However, he has also incited a fair share of backlash during his time as a high-profile streamer in the past for such things as being close friends with Andrew Tate, as well as his comments regarding Twitch\u2019s hot tub streams. Adin Ross asks chatters to \u201cact Black\u201d for $200 Now, the broadcaster is coming under fire for a video he uploaded on February 16. In the video, Ross chats with strangers on Omegle, where he asks them to \u201cact Black\u201d for a $100 cash prize. \u201cI have a challenge, bro, listen,\u201d Ross says at the very beginning of the upload. \u201cIf you act Black, I\u2019ll give you $100 cash. I swear on my mother\u2019s life.\u201d Although the chatter with whom he was speaking initially declined his request, Adin bumped up the award amount to $200, causing the person to ask: \u201cThat\u2019s racist, isn\u2019t it?\u201d \u201cJust act Black for $200!\u201d Adin replied. \u201cWhat do you want?\u201d Eventually, the chatter performed an imitation, causing Adin to scream, \u201cYo! You\u2019re racist!\u201d before saying he was just joking. The rest of the video continued in a similar manner, with many chatters initially objecting to the request and some even ending the call altogether, while others went through with the challenge. That\u2019s not all; Ross also asked a chatter to say a racial slur and even claimed to have \u201calmost said it\u201d during the broadcast. Although lots of fans have left positive comments underneath the video, many others have expressed concern about the premise of the upload \u2014 especially due to the timing of its publication during Black History Month. \u201cActing Black doesn\u2019t exist,\u201d one commenter wrote. \u201cHow does one act a color? You mean, \u2018Act like a thug,\u2019 which isn\u2019t all of us.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s Black History Month, do better Adin,\u201d another said. \u201cThis don\u2019t sit right with me, not gonna lie,\u201d yet another said. \u201cMe neither,\u201d someone responded to the comment above. \u201cLike, what is \u2018act Black\u2019 meant to mean? It means he has a preconceived notion of what acting Black means. Self report.\u201d Thus far, Ross hasn\u2019t responded to any of the criticism against him due to the video. Most recently, the streamer has expressed a desire to move away from Twitch in favor of platforms like Kick due to his issues with the former\u2019s \u201cterms of service.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
