A young black woman from Arizona says she was shocked to discover that the white man she had been dating for several months was writing racist messages about her to his friends.
Tatum Patrice, 21, was spending time with the man recently and playing music off his phone when she discovered the group chat he kept with friends.
Scrolling through their messages, she discovered that he talked about wanting to call her the N word, said his grandfather would have ‘owned’ her, and proclaimed ‘f*** black women’ — all to the encouragement of his friends.
Tatum shared the disturbing racist messages on Twitter on May 27 after taking several screengrabs.
She explained: ‘So I’ve been talking to this white guy for a few months now. I gave my all to this man [for real]… come to find out, he’s been racist this whole time. THIS is how he talks about me to his friends.
‘I can’t make this s*** up. I — I have no words…’ she wrote.
The man, addressed as Graeme by one of the other members of the group text, wrote: ‘Sorry not sorry, but I have this black girl over again…and everytime she says something stupid as f*** I want to call her the N word lol. Is that bad? Or is she just acting her part?
‘This stays between all of us,’ he added. ‘I really want to call this girl the n word and have her leave…is that wrong? I swear wtf.’
A friend named Colton eggs him on, writing: ‘You call her that lmao if she’s acting the part she can’t get mad when you say it.’
