A TikTok video of a Southern White woman burning the Confederate flag while apologizing has gone viral with over 492,000 views on social media.

Danielle, who goes by @tiktok_hates_me on TikTok, said she grew up in the South and was never taught the flag—associated with the Confederacy and the glorification of the Civil War—symbolized White supremacy and slavery.

In the video, Danielle is seen cutting the battle flag from its pole and lighting the corner of it with a lighter.

The words superimposed over the video read:

"I'm sorry if I ever showed I was 'racist' from a flag. We burnt it tonight!"
"I'm sorry our culture taught us this was ok, it's not."
"I'm white. I'm redneck, but never racist. RIP to this racist flag."

She added the hashtags, #endracismnow2020 #endthestigma #ally #blm #imsorry, in the post's caption.

In a follow-up Q&A format video, a user mentioned she was doing the "bare minimum," to which she had a response where she did not mince words.

"What the f'k do you expect me to do? Support Black Lives Matter? Because I do."

She said she traveled to a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Florence, Alabama last year during the pandemic to show her support for all people of color. "I don't even live in Alabama," she emphasized.

The BLM ally also said she was in the process of getting rid of any other Confederate-related items she owns and she plans on educating her children about racism.

Her kids were present when she burned the flag.

CNN Just Used A Hilarious Poll To Show Just How Unpopular Trump's Ballroom Is—And We're Cackling

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.

In early 2024, 49-year-old Antonia Eastwood married Ashley Monk after about five months of dating. During the ceremony, Antonia tripped while walking down the aisle.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
