A Black content creator was at the end of his rope with racist trolls in his comments. But rather than engage them in an online back-and-forth that would probably go nowhere, he came up with the perfect solution that was probably quite unexpected for all of his followers.

TikToker Sir Gregolas posted a clip to his feed soliciting donations to send him to Africa.
“I have now started a GiveSendGo campaign to send my Black a** back to Africa,” he said in his video. “The goal is to raise 30K by August 12, because tickets are expensive, visas are very complicated. I’m Black, inept, broke, and I need help from you good white people. Please, don’t just waste your time and energy writing angry comments in my comment section; actually do something about it.”

Like any good fundraising ad, Sir Gregolas let his donors know exactly what their donations would support.
“You can actually make a difference. Every dollar that you donate gets me one step closer to disappearing from your perfect America and far, far away from you and your beautiful white children. So help me leave for good. It’s a win-win for everyone,” he added.
His post has received over 225,000 likes so far and over 30,000 comments from people who are giving him props for coming up with the perfect response.
“Bro just literally taught every black person how to respond to racism in any form you just unlocked a new emotional control😂😂😂😂😂,” wrote someone.
Another commenter added that telling a Black person to go back to Africa is hardly a threat.
“The definition of don’t threaten me with a good time,” wrote someone else in the comments.
Still others tried to encourage him to raise his goal.
“Africa is expensive. Get a minimum of 100k. Trust me,” someone wrote.
In case you were wondering, the GiveSendGo campaign is completely real. Although he hasn’t reached his goal as of this post, he has received a little over $500 in donations. He also has a separate GoFundMe campaign to raise money to help support his Masters of Fine Arts studies in New York City.
“I’ll turn their trolling into tuition—and their hate into art,” he wrote on his page.
