Tommy Sotomayor is the man African American women love to hate most because he has given them a whole range of reasons to do so. The Arizona native became famous through his YouTube channel Mr. Madness, where he expresses his anger by criticizing black women for a variety of reasons – from their addiction to human hair to their inability to raise children. Sotomayor is an obvious men’s activist and is also described as a political and social commentator.
In April 2017, a petition from Change.org went online asking Tommy to stop his videos, which were perceived as emotionally hurtful to African American women. The video cited “incalculable amounts of emotional, psychological, and physical harm.
The authors of the petition called on tech executives such as Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google/YouTube to become “responsible” and stop offering Tommy a platform to “deliberately denigrate and belittle black women and girls and black people in general.
The petition seemed to have failed, however, as the Sotomayor channel is still strongly represented with over 303,000 subscribers (as of 2017).
Tommy Sotomayor Bio
Mr. Controversy was born Thomas Jerome Harris on December 11, 1975, in Georgia, Atalanta. He later moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where he now lives in Scottsdale.
Tommy’s journey to fame began in the summer of 2012 when he launched his YouTube channel entitled Mr. Madness. On the channel, he released satirical videos with strange titles like “15 Kids, 1 on the Way, No Man!”, “Gabrielle Union Says Dating D Wade Hurt Her Career” and “Woman gets pregnant by the 13-year-old boy”. He also released clips of black women fighting in the streets and the site quickly gained ground, which helped Tommy to fame.
Many believe that Tommy’s hatred of black women was nursed by his mama, who sent him to prison because he was unable to pay child support for her daughter.
Although it appears that Sotomayor has more enemies than friends, his attempt to spread his views has been largely progressive.
CNN law enforcement analyst Harry Houck, who is also a retired NYPD detective, went on Twitter in July 2016 to promote one of Tommy’s videos in which he said the African-American community was responsible for most violent crime in America. Sotomayor also stated in the video that blacks are more serious problems than weapons. Houk agreed with this and said that Mr. Madness “knows what he’s talking about!
