A young woman is at the center of a social media storm for bad-mouthing her father at his funeral, calling him a “racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, Trump-loving, cis-straight, white man.”
A young woman is at the center of a social media storm for bad-mouthing her father at his funeral, calling him a “racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, Trump-loving, cis, straight, white man.”
A video clip of the unorthodox eulogy was shared by the young woman on TikTok, and later reached a wider audience after it was shared on Twitter by Libs of TikTok.

“Please note that while I’m grateful and highly aware of all that you’ve given this family, I still don’t miss you,” began the speech. “When you died, I felt like there was a hole. I missed something but it wasn’t you. It was the idea of what you could become. I miss being able to hope and wish that one day you’d turn the corner and see the world from my perspective.”

The young woman is a self-described “Black Supremacist” with they/them pronouns and almost 30,000 TikTok followers. This initial short clip of the eulogy now has 1.7 million views and a longer version has almost 170,000 views.
“I miss my fantasy of you,” continued the speech. “Because when you died, it solidified the fact that you’ll never be what you could have been, but only what you are. And what you are is a racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, Trump-loving, cis, straight, white man. That is all you will ever be to me.”
“Dad, before you tell me to respect the dead, please remember that you disrespected and disregarded the lives and deaths of entire communities,” the daughter went on. “You are everything I aspire not to be, and I refuse to stand up here and sing the praises of a man who is the paradigm of white supremacy.”
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the bizarre tribute ended with the young woman promising to take the deceased man’s money to “make this world a better place.”
The speech was met with some lukewarm applause from the assembled crowd of mourners, but received more approving praise on TikTok with some users calling the speech “healing” and inspirational, according to the New York Post.
However, other TikTokers responded to say the young woman will come to regret this behavior in years to come.
“She’ll regret it one day. It may take twenty years, but it’ll break her. One day,” the New York Post reported one person saying.
“I’m black and Republican and my dad dislikes Republicans, yet I would never talk bad about him at his funeral. It’s called mutual RESPECT. Shame girl,” said another.
Others blamed TikTok, suggesting the platform leads people to perform increasingly outlandish stunts in the pursuit of likes and followers.
