    2 Black Men Own a Racist Even Though Slavery Ended

    Elijah Schaffer is a loser racist who could dish it out but could not take it and was put in his place by two Black men as well as Black Xitter. Schaffer found himself at the sh*tty end of a poking stick after he initiated several unwarranted and unprovoked attacks against The Little Mermaid star, Halle Bailey.

    In multiple tweets, Schaffer calls Bailey “ugly” and shares a picture of E.T., comparing the stunner to the alien character. Upon seeing this, Xitter user @loufactsIGB tweets a picture of Schaffer’s mom, stating that she is” ugly” and looks like E.T. with a “tan.”

    This caused Schaffer to devolve into supreme victimhood and attempt to shame the Xitter user by explaining that his mother’s face was disfigured because she had “60% of her soft tissue removed & huge portions of her jaw carved out in 3 life saving surgeries.” The Xitter user then fired back with, “This what a lot you cowards do. Disrespect women then play victim when your women get disrespected back. Stop it with the white fragility, nobody knew your mom passed. I hope she wasn’t alive when you caught that sexual assault charge.”

    It is interesting how a dead white mother is off-limits but a live Black mother is not.

    Schaffer, obviously embarrassed, took his ball and went home by threatening legal action against the Xitter user @LoufactsIGB, stating that his tweet was “untrue,” and “defamatory.” It is always a curious thing to initiate nastiness and cruelty and then be shocked when someone responds in kind rather than in kindness. It is that much more peculiar to feel still that you are the moral superior in that scenario, but Elijah, who was raised in a devout Christian home, not being a fan of equality should not be a shock to anyone.


    As Schaffer became more distressed with @LoufactsIGB ‘s responses, he then threatened legal action over the xweets and claimed that they were “defamatory” and “untrue,” even though the community notes revealed that he was indeed fired from Glen Becks’s The Blaze in 2022. Most specifically, Schaffer was accused of sexual assault when he groped a female colleague’s breast at a film premiere. Schaffer has a previous history of insulting the looks of Black women; most specifically making similar posts about Zendaya and insinuating that Michelle Obama is a man; including using a transphobic caption on a picture with his son on Instagram. Between the groping and the misogynoiristic xweets, so it should be no surprise that he has a big problem with respecting women.

    Guys it’s true, it’s been a long time coming, I am no longer an employee with The Blaze. While I am grateful for my experience with them over the years, it’s time for me to go back to being independent. (1/2) https://t.co/q4X6Cw4UzK

    Rapper DDG, who is Bailey’s partner and the father of their son, also responded to the Schaffer, but his response was even more scathing. “I’m smokin on yo dead a– mama that dumb b—ch should’ve got a better doctor LMFAO,” a reference to a common Xitter insult directed towards a dead person in a derogatory way. In another post, he shared a picture of himself smoking on a marijuana blunt with Schaffer’s mom at the end of it, in reference to that original tweet. Both he and LoufactsIGB also used pictures of Schaffer’s partner, who is not conventionally attractive, but I won’t sugar coat too much about the hard ass face of a woman who is in love with a rampant and unrepentant racist loser.

    Schaffer continued to spiral out of control with even more racist tweets filled with thinly veiled stereotypes. It’s interesting how racists like to feign ignorance of their insults while also positioning themselves as intellectually superior.

    Either way, Black history month may be over, but it looks like two Black men owned a white man in the name of the ancestors who had to survive slavery.

    Ase, and word to your baby mother!
