A Black TikToker is going viral for serving poetic justice to a white man who launched a racist tirade against him during a livestream.
Tamo, who boasts over 111,000 followers on TikTok, was talking about Pokémon cards and video games when the man crashed his livestream and began repeatedly hurling the n-word.
Following the incident, Tamo revealed that he had identified the man and discovered his military affiliation.
“Guess what? You’re gonna get kicked out of the United States Navy,” Tamo said in a video, which has garnered over 5 million likes. “You know how they tell us that we should be careful what we do on social media, because there could be real-life consequences? Hi, my name is real-life consequence.”
The content creator said he compiled clips of the man's racist tirade and reported him to the Naval Inspector General, fellow Black sailors, and his church.
“There’s nothing you can do to stop me,” Tamo said. “There is no apology I will accept. There is no excuse I will listen to. There is no money you could offer me. You’re getting fired.”
Tamo noted that the man may soon be facing long shifts in an Amazon warehouse, where he will be forced to explain to a young co-worker how he lost his career due to his racist actions.
The TikToker was praised for holding the man accountable for his behavior.
"I’ve never felt more satisfied in my life," one commentator said.
"We appreciate your services," another person said.
"Never been prouder of a stranger," a third user wrote.
