I guess she's not an expert in video editing cuz she posted the whole story in like 10 clips, which I'm not going to post. :marseyindignant:

Here's her page if you want to check them out https://tiktok.com/@hustlanani.

Here's the first video.


Student who raised $400K for D.C. homeless man refunds money to donors

In a series of TikTok videos, Sanai Graden says she lost touch with Alonzo Douglas Hebron, who became evasive and stopped returning her calls.

A college student who raised nearly half a million dollars for a D.C. homeless man says the money has now been refunded, a sharp reversal in a saga that drew widespread attention online.

In a series of TikTok videos posted last week, Sanai Graden explained she had lost contact with Alonzo Douglas Hebron, the man she met in late January on the streets of downtown D.C. After she posted a video of her getting his medication and paying for his hotel room, the 21-year-old college student and Hebron were catapulted into viral fame. Graden raised more than $400,000 on GoFundMe for Hebron, and several local outlets covered their story.


Below is the original story from February

Homeless man in viral TikTok, who received charitable $400K, is perpetrator of brutal assault, victim claims

A fundraising campaign for Washington, DC homeless man Alonzo Douglas Hebron raised over $400K

A homeless man in a TikTok video that went viral, which also prompted a fundraising campaign to help raise over $400,000, has a lengthy criminal history including violent assault, according to a report.

Alonzo Douglas Hebron, the man in the viral video, has been in and out of prison for years, and a woman who claims to be a victim of one of his brutal attacks spoke exclusively with FOX 5 Washington, D.C., about his recent rise to social media fame.

"I'm speechless," said the woman, who wished to remain anonymous for safety reasons.

In the TikTok video, which was posted Feb. 1, a college student buys Hebron a drink and goes around town assisting him. It amassed tens of millions of views.

The student who recorded the TikTok video, Sanai Graden, told WUSA9 that she saw the man "in pain" and decided to help him. She then created a fundraising account so that others could help him too.

"I just didn't want to leave him with just tea. I wanted to leave him with more so like I tried to help him as much as I could. So that's why you saw me running around all over D.C.," Graden said. "He was in pain, it was really hard to watch and I'm like no I want to post this."

The victim who spoke with FOX 5 said that she was "heartbroken" after seeing the viral video, adding, "First of all β€” kudos to the woman who did this. She meant well, and I do applaud her for that. I know it was a lot of work for her to do so, but [she is] portraying him as something he just simply isn't."

According to FOX 5, the woman was the victim of an assault in June 2020, as she was sleeping outside Foundry United Methodist Church on P Street in Northwest Washington, D.C. The incident was caught on camera.

Security video of the incident shows Hebron placing a scarf on the victim, who is sleeping, when he begins repeatedly punching her.

"I do not understand how a human being can act like this. He's a sociopath. He does not have a sense of remorse," the victim told the outlet.

"I've been struggling since then," she continued, noting she was in recovery from alcoholism. "Last week was my 18-month anniversary and the last two days, I came close, but I didn't because he's not worth it."

According to the Department of Justice, Hebron has a criminal history that included an assault in 2012, when he was sentenced to five years in prison.

During that incident, Hebron was convicted of stabbing a man in the neck with a screwdriver in Washington, D.C., FOX 5 reported.

He also escaped a halfway house in June 2023.

In the fundraiser, Graden said she did not know the man's criminal history but that he shared his medical troubles.

"After walking and talking, he decided to open up about his current situation. I've learned that he's homeless, has no family and currently has prostate cancer. I then offered him food, and he didn't want to accept. I informed him that if he needed anything to let me know," she wrote.

The victim who spoke with FOX 5 said she is sharing her story so that people know to avoid him and for those who have seen the TikTok video to have more information about his history.

"Why is he on the street? How many people does he have to hurt before he is locked up for good," she told the outlet. "He will not stop. I don't know what they're waiting for."

The fundraiser, created seven days ago, remains open to donations.

>You are supposed to start teaching your children how to read by age 3. The problem is, by the time a black child turns 2 and their "genes" start kicking in full throttle, their parent abandons them because they dont like what they see.

>I see people will ignore the largest elephant in the room. By the time you are asking for help from organizations, its too late. Organizations can be supplements NOT saviors or people who clean up after someones mess.

I have no clue which place this is. I don't even know if it is real but I am assuming that it's real.

Hi! Argentinian historian here! Let me answer your question!

To understand the "lack" of african-descent in Argentina, you first need to understand colonial history and only then argentinian history.

Colonial empires had two types of slavery: work slaves for the plantations of tobacco/cotton/sugar/coffee and household slaves. Work slaves made the vast majority of slaves in the AmΓ©ricas, hence the ammount of slaves in the southern states of the U.S., the northern part of South AmΓ©rica and Brazil. Slaves were the main muscle behind the huge economies of the colonial empires. If you check ethnic maps of the AmΓ©ricas (i'm pretty sure in the U.S. they would be called "race maps", but we don't do that in South AmΓ©rica), you'll find a correlation of the places colonial plantations were and the main groups of african descent. Once we understand this, the rest is pretty simple to get.

In colonial times, the spanish Southern Cone was an unimportant region of the Spanish Empire. This region was the southern frontrier of Spain's dominion, and the resources destined to the develop of this area were minimum. Economically speaking, this region depended from the centers of power in the Viceroyalty of PerΓΊ, and was inserted within the colonial economic structure as a subsidiary region for the silver production in PotosΓ­. The main product of the Pampas was dry meat and pack animals. There were no plantations in this regions, hence there was no need for "work slaves". In fact, and as a historical curiosity, Buenos Aires and Montevideo lived mainly of contraband. In 1776, the Spanish Empire, after the new royal house of BorbΓ³n rose to power, went through a huge reform and this region became the Viceroyalty of the RΓ­o de La Plata (except Chile, that was a captaincy). The capital city of this new viceroyalty was set Buenos Aires, by all means the largest of the cities of the Southern Cone. By the time of the RevoluciΓ³n de Mayo (1810), Buenos Aires had 40k inhabitants, 1/3 of them being household slaves (there's a common missconception in the Internet that Argentina as a whole had 1/3 of african population, but, no, this number reffers to Buenos Aires). Since Buenos Aires was the biggest city, you can imagine how loosely populated this region was.

The newly formed Patriotic Government passed a Law in 1813 that stablished that every son of slaves would be free. Although Argentina was a Spanish colony, and Spain had a Caste System, here there was no segregation. Finally, by 1853, with the sanction of the Argentinian Constitution, slavery was formally abolished, although by this time there were almost no slaves still alive. People intermarried and mixed. This made the small population of african-descent to slowly integrate within the argentinian gene pool. By the end of the XIX century, massive waves of european migration began to arrive to this land, and once again people intermarried and mixed. We're talking about several millions of people, mainly from southern Europe, that arrived to a country with 3 million inhabitants. However, although you cannot "see" black argentines, there is a layer of african culture within the argentinian culture. There are "african festivals" in the province of Corrientes, and you can see african influence in certain types of traditional music.

TLDR: Argentina was a poor part of the Spanish Empire and it didn't have plantations. Since it didn't have plantations, there was no "need" for "work slaves", hence the small ammount of african descent you see nowadays.

TLDR, they got bleached.

So, genocide. Thx. https://tiktok.com/t/ZT8BK4jmN/

But that kind of genocide is a myth! :marseythonk:

For example my son ordered takeaway tonight and I paid for it. He ordered a pizza and drinks delivered. Cost me $60. Expensive pizza he would never order himself if he was paying. I don't mind paying this. He is an apprentice and he lives at home. Doesn't pay rent or anything at all but that is ok. Happy for that to happen as long as he can complete his apprenticeship and get his trade which he is doing.

Anyway, the pizza has arrived and doorbell rings and we're all watching TV. He stands up and sarcastically says "don't you get up. I've got it" kinda pointing out that we could have offered to get it or something. Whatever it is, I find it rude and when I point it out he says "I was only joking".

Am I being oversensitive or unreasonable?

Does this apply to polycules? I don't have a girlfriend yet but was hoping to establish a harem at some point and it turns out that I am not allowed to. The bright side is that this could cause some mongo sneed.
