Board 8 > 24 y/o raising money for Kids SOBS UNCONTROLLABLY after RACIST TWEETS Surface!!.

(+) Yeah! (+)

24 y/o Carson King, the Iowa Man who went viral for his sign where he solicited beer money in the background of a ESPN College GameDay broadcast SOBBED UNCONTROLLABLY after a reporter outed his past tweets where he said RACIST things against black people that he wrote at 16 y/o!!

But despite those tweets being released, his donations SKYROCKETED to 1.7 million as he made a tearful apology and said he was a "dumb teen" when he posted that

The paper didn't release those tweets but Dailymail found them where In one of the tweets, he compared black mothers to GORILLAS and made light of black people killed in the HOLOCAUST

After he raised a million initially for that sign, he said he was going to donate the proceeds to sick children at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital which won the hearts of viewers as Anshauer-Busch vowed to match the money as well

Things took a turn for the worse for him after a reporter dug up tweets he posted as a teen against black people as he called it 'hurtful and embarrassing"

He said "8 years ago, when i was a sophomore in high school,i made some social media posts with my friends and quoted and referenced the Comedy Central show Tosh.0. one of those posts was brought to my attention by a member of the media today"

But there was instead backlash to the REPORTER for posting about it as he got DEATH THREATS for doing so as King is defending that reporter who works for the Des Moines Register as he appreciated the media for pointing that post out to him and said it was the right thing to do....

People however were not so kind and said they made the kid look racist by tearing him down by trying to play "gotcha".

Prolific New York Magazine Contributer Yashar Ali even got in on the criticism who said if he had been defiant about the 2 tweets or doubled down, he'd understand why it was posted but this was not newsworthy given the good work he's done

Do you think this man would still post things like that if he wasn't caught?

the reporter who brought these tweets up sucks. just absolutely pointless and shitty.

If I had used Twitter as a teenager, I'd like to think as an adult I would've thought to go back through my post history and delete anything that was clearly very stupid.

I wonder if I have anything dumb on my facebook

well I have plenty that is dumb even to this day but y'know
