Teen's eulogy to ‘racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, Trump-loving’ father at his funeral goes viral A 19-year-old TikTok user has gone viral after sharing a video of their eulogy to their deceased father at his funeral, in which they call him a “racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, Trump-loving” man. The user, identified as Saga, goes by the handle @saginthesunforever and has self-described themselves as a “Black supremacist” on their TikTok bio. Saga, who uses the pronouns they/them, has received widespread backlash after their viral video was re-posted to Twitter by controversial conservative account Libs of TIkTok on Tuesday. In the video, Saga can be seen on stage delivering their eulogy speech to their father at his funeral. “Dad, please know that while I am grateful and highly aware of all that you’ve given this family, I still don't miss you,” Saga says.“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 [have] become. I missed being able to hope and wish that one day you’d turn a corner and see the world from my perspective. I missed the idea that one day you might help me fight for the things that matter. I miss my fantasy of you.” “Because when you died, it solidified the fact that you'll never be what you could have been, but only what you are,” they add.“And what you are is a racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, Trump-loving, cis, straight white man. That is all you will ever be to me.” To conclude their eulogy, Saga says,“You are everything I aspire not to be…I swear to god, I will make this world a better place. Not at all because of you, but in exact opposition to you.” www.yahoo.com/news/teens-eulogy-racist-misogynistic-xenophobic-230620770.html

Then again if the mother allowed her to make this speech Dad is probably better off dead.

You have got to figure that her father treated her terribly for her to say something like this at his funeral. But there are always those who choose to dismiss racism to diss those who face it. What does race have to do with it? And if her daddy treated her so terrible why did she say "I am grateful and highly aware of all you've given this family" She is a spoiled little woke girl that needs to go out and see what real life is all about instead of quoting her friends to be cool. And her mama should be slapped for letting her do that.

A little off topic but: went to my friends fathers funeral back about 6 years ago. Everyone including my friends brother were happy. Didn't get wth this was all about until my buddy Jim said his father was an abusive drunk to him and his brother growing up. For once I honestly didn't know what to say.

And her mama should be slapped for letting her do that. You can stop trying to deny the role race plays in a situation where a bi racial child says their parent is racist. Being woke is a good thing and this child must have been treated horribly for her to say this. It's that simple. She has seen what life was like. Her father showed it. So just stop denying racism "Jade". Until you face it, instead of being part of it, you will not understand this young woman. Well aren't you full of yourself "IM2". Please show me some proof that she was treated horribly. All I read was that she was grateful for all he had given them but didn't like him because he supported Trump and was therefore a racist. If he was a racist, why does he have a bi racial child?"I missed being able to hope and wish that one day you’d turn a corner and see the world from my perspective. I missed the idea that one day you might help me fight for the things that matter. I miss my fantasy of you." To me that sounds like a child of today's school system.

Maybe dad raised her to speak her mind and she did just that.

I think that was the wrong place for it. Never mock the dead, they have a way of returning the favor.

I agree it may not have been the right place but then again he wont know. Could be he was a racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, Trump-loving, cis, straight white man.

Could be and probably was but a funeral is not the place

I wonder if these things were ever said to the father while he was alive and able to do something about it?

Sometimes when certain people pass away, it's a good day. Just because they are gone, doesn't suddenly make them nice or better people. And to those they gave so much pain to while living, it must feel like a relief. I felt the same way when my dad died. Basically nothing. He was not a good man. He had been a gangster who had killed people in the past, and led a life of crime. He was a drunk and an abusive husband and I don't say that lightly. The things I saw growing up could make horror movies. And he was a terrible father. On top of that he was a racist, full of hate person in general. So yes, it was a good day when he finally went. I have never shed a tear for him.

That was probably too much information, but oh well.

Can be rather cathartic when some pass away as Deyana has said...I had been told many times when I was in my 20s-30s that many humans would celebrate when my time has expired and I always thought if that is what it takes for them to heal then one day they will have it...
Sounds like to me that this young lady held onto to the hope that maybe one day her father would change his miserable ways but never did so to me this is just a way for her to say goodbye and good riddance...
I do have to admit this post was somewhat of a social experiment as I was curious if the phrase "Trump-loving" would trigger the negative responses...I have to believe that if those two words were not added some folks may have been OK with her little requiem...

Well except for being a Canadian, that is one thing I can't overlook...

Thank you for your kind words and thoughts, 🦍MAXX>ⓤ, Those who know my life story tell me the same thing. It took a lot of work, in so many ways, to get to where I am today, believe me. The Canadian bit, well what can I say?(I'm not a real Canadian after all)

I don't often talk about my past, because firstly it would shock people too much and secondly, well it's personal right? My childhood was just the beginning. My life has been colorful to say the least. After leaving home, I dated the kind of men that any girl should stay well away from because it was all I knew and so it carried on. But I survived and here I am

You are a bit of a mystery in many ways, Maxx. I've known you for some years now and yet I don't really know you at all. It has taken a lot of time for me to own my truth. To be okay with it. To not be ashamed of where I came from as my family were so unconventional. Or the fact that I obviously did not fit in, anywhere really. The only way to move forward has been to completely let go of the past. I can talk about it now and not feel anything, and that's a very good thing.
