[QUOTE="MelaninWarlord, post: 60468, member: 428"] [MEDIA=youtube]8nHTd49WIgI[/MEDIA] In this video, the Hodge Twins react to a viral clip of an encounter between a man and an autistic child who reportedly used a racial slur. The Incident and Commentary The Reaction to the Man: The twins criticize the man who filmed and uploaded the encounter, arguing that he is "low IQ" for losing his cool and mocking a child with special needs [01:04]. They suggest that his reaction shows he is seeking validation and has deep-seated personal issues [07:40]. The Child's Intent: They argue that the child likely does not understand the weight or meaning of the word [02:11]. They compare the behavior to a symptom of Tourette's or a verbal tic, noting that the child seems to blurt things out or use words like "Mickey Mouse" interchangeably with other terms [04:41], [05:00]. Origin of the Language: The twins speculate that the child likely learned the word from his environment, specifically suggesting he might have picked it up from people at school, including a teacher, since black people often use the word colloquially [03:07], [03:29]. The Parent's Perspective: The video includes a segment from the child's mother, who explains that the child used the slur toward a beloved assistant teacher [02:44]. She expresses confusion and regret, showing an apology letter the child's sister helped him write [05:32]. Final Assessment The Hodge Twins conclude that the man filming should be "ashamed" for trying to "chastise" a special needs child publicly [06:56]. They emphasize that the word shouldn't have such power over someone, especially when coming from a child who clearly has a genetic disorder [01:45].
