In a candid social media post recalling old high school memories and exposing the ugly side of online prejudice, Ohio native Tizy Mak has publicly accused his former classmate and football teammate, Tyler Kyea, of blatant racism.
The Facebook post reveals lingering resentment from their shared past in Ohio, where they went to the same school and played on the same football team.
Tizy doesn’t hold back, linking Tyler’s current behavior to a humiliating incident from their teenage years that ultimately led to Tyler being removed from the team and even skipping school altogether.
According to Tizy’s emotional recounting, Tyler has been hiding behind his keyboard to spew hateful comments, particularly targeting people of color.
He claims Tyler assumes that because he’s Black, he must be living off welfare, relying on government handouts, and unable to provide for his children, stereotypes that Tizy says have no basis in reality.
“He thinks I live off the government and my kids don’t have anything for themselves,”

Tizy wrote, stressing that this behavior isn’t new.
Even back in high school, Tyler apparently exhibited similar prejudices, but now, as an adult, he’s using the anonymity of the internet to attack others, dragging families and kids into his rants.
The post takes a dramatic turn when Tizy delves into a scandalous story from their football days that sheds light on why Tyler might harbor so much anger.
It all started when Tyler missed a game, leaving him out of the loop while the team traveled on the bus.
In a prank gone wrong, one of the players sent him a photo of a “side b**b” from a female teammate’s phone.
Instead of brushing it off or responding lightly, Tyler fired back with a picture of his own, described bluntly by Tizy as his “tiny p***s.”
The image quickly circulated among the entire bus, turning what might have been a momentary embarrassment into a full-blown humiliation.
The fallout was severe, overwhelmed by the ridicule, Tyler stopped attending school and quit the football team entirely, effectively removing himself from the program amid the scandal.
Tizy speculates that this traumatic experience from their youth could be the root of Tyler’s deep-seated hate, suggesting it fuels his racist assumptions and aggressive online persona.
Tizy wrote-:
“My guess is he walks around as a grown man with so much hate in his heart from that situation,”
He ties this personal grudge to broader societal issues, noting how heated political discussions online are exposing people’s “true colors.”
Hidden biases can appear in unexpected ways, he says, which makes him wonder why someone like Tyler would even add him as a Facebook friend if those feelings were there all along.
Tyler’s response to the post was swift and defensive, but it did little to diffuse the tension
He commented, shifting the blame and insisting his judgments stemmed from Tizy’s online content rather than racial bias.
“Big mad because my assumptions were right based off your Facebook. Not your skin color. Remember that,”
This denial only seemed to amplify the conversation, drawing in others who shared their own experiences with Tyler.
One such voice was Amber Krudy, owner of Krudy Kreations, who jumped in to corroborate Tizy’s claims with her own high school horror stories. She wrote-:
“He’s always been a bully, Used to bully me and a couple girls I hung out with in high school. Not surprised he hasn’t changed. He’ll always be a bully trying to make his ego better.”
Amber expressed gratitude for the post, seeing it as a form of validation for the torment she endured, and didn’t mince words about her disdain for bullies:
Bullies fucking suck, they deserve every bit of karma that comes their way.”
Her comment shows that his harmful behavior isn’t just about racism, it’s part of a long pattern of bullying that hurt many classmates in school.
Not all reactions were fueled by past grievances, though. Rob McRorie offered a more supportive and uplifting perspective, encouraging Tizy to rise above the negativity.
He advised,
“Look lemme just say this. Dont let his hate define ur day, If u know ur a good honest person who protect his fam. then forget what haters gota say.”
Identifying as white and Indian, Rob expressed solidarity and condemned personal attacks, adding a thoughtful quote:
“I always say this to the racist or everyday haters ‘i know people who work at dollar general who make less that most who are happier that u.'”
His words serve as a counterbalance, reminding everyone involved that self-worth shouldn’t be dictated by online trolls.
This situation shows how social media can reconnect old classmates while also bringing up past conflicts, as Tizy’s public call-out of his former teammate Tyler reveals how a humiliating high school incident still fuels present-day racism, bullying, and online hate for everyone to see.
