Black Hackcellence (Unpublished)

Yes. You read that headline right.

Last week, TikTok user victoriaprettymuch posted a video that has gone viral amongst the internet. Within the month of April of this year, Victoria learned of an incident that happened between her son, Elijah, and the school he goes to. The 11 year old boy got into some big, big trouble during his elementary schooling throughout the year.

 

Victoria wasn't allowed to share the story until now, once legal obligations were all settled and done. Take a gander at the TikTok video below to listen to Victoria explain what happened in PART ONE of this interesting case series.

In most media an 11 year old black boy is not the familiar image that comes to mind when we associate the image of a hacker.

In the olden days, we would usually associate that image of a tech-wiz very differently. That person would look like a grown white man in his mid-30s. He is neither overweight or underweight. A man that is shuttered in an dark, undisclosed location with only the cyber green gleam of the computer screen showing his face. All the while the little speckle of light reflects off his rounded glasses, as he commits deeds within the underground of the deep-dark web.

Maybe that image is just me, but you get the idea.

There have been examples of tech wizards of color in recent memory.

Ludacris as Taj 

Rihanna as Nine Ball in the Ocean's 8 film.

Heck. Personally he reminds me of Tahj Mowry's character T.J. Henderson.

Anyways there's more to Elijah and Victoria's story in PART TWO, check the update below.

Elijah. Elijah. Elijah...what can't you do?

Luckily, Elijah was hit with minor tasks for his record to be stripped clean. The case of the black hacker has garnered 2.6 million views on TikTok. Hopefully more greatness can come from the situation, maybe there will be a part three.

The kids are the future and it seems they are getting smarter by the day.

What would you do if your child was in this similar situation?
