TikToker Anna Shumate responds after being accused of supporting racist comments Instagram: annashumateeAnna Shumate has responded after coming under fire for allegedly liking and making racist comments on a secondary TikTok account, and although some fans are calling it \u2018dark humor,\u2019 others think there\u2019s nothing funny about it. Anna Shumate has more than 10 million followers on TikTok, and it\u2019s all thanks to her viral videos. They\u2019ve been liked almost 550 million times, and the numbers keep on rising. However, some fans believe she crossed the line after allegedly liking and making racist comments on a secondary TikTok account, which is known to be hers. The comment she allegedly wrote herself, which is getting the most attention, was an anti-Semitic \u2018joke\u2019 that said, \u201cI like my bacon how I like my Jews. Burnt and crispy.\u201d It\u2019s a clear reference to the atrocities that happened in some concentration camps during World War II. However, she also liked and responded to other crude comments, including some directed towards African-Americans. For example, she liked a comment that said, \u201cI\u2019m not racist. I have an African-American in my family tree. It\u2019s just hanging.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodles\/status\/1388972665822535682?s=20 Since then, the situation snowballed into a heated debate on social media. Some fans think it was nothing more than \u2018dark humor.\u2019 In their view, if she deserves to be canceled over it, the same can be said about South Park. However, others claim the comments are too tasteless to be brushed off as \u2018dark humor.\u2019 They labeled them disgusting, unfunny, and outright racist. Anna responds to backlash The TikToker uploaded a video shortly after in which she apologized for liking the jokes. \u201cThe ones that I liked and commented back to were very unacceptable and wrong in so many ways. And I\u2019m here to say that I\u2019m sorry to everyone that I have affected with that video and those comments,\u201d she said. https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@annabananaxdddd\/video\/6957877408703761670?lang=en&is_copy_url=0&is_from_webapp=v1&sender_device=pc&sender_web_id=6891581267042141701 Anna continued by saying: \u201cIn no way was I trying to be malicious when I made that, I was just trying to make a joke, but that\u2019s no excuse whatsoever.\u201d She then responded to further backlash against her apology on her Instagram story. \u201cOnce again I am sorry my apology is not everything you are looking for but I do have a stuttering problem and if I talk too fast I don\u2019t form sentences and lose my words.\u201d She also added: \u201cTo the people in my comment section or other comment sections stop calling other people sensitive\/snowflakes because this is a very serious topic. I owned up to it because I know what I did was wrong, but to call people snowflakes because they have a problem with what I said is also wrong.\u201d The response to her apology so far has been mixed, but it\u2019s unclear whether the influencer will choose to address the backlash any further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
