Latosha Mercado Is Doing Her True Nature In This Video Here, For What Her Ancestors Did To Black And Brown People For 6,000 Years, Which Is Racism.

Here’s a breakdown of who LaTosha Mercado is (or at least what others are saying about her) and what she’s said / been accused of saying about people on food stamps — plus some context and criticism.

Who Is LaTosha Mercado?
• She seems to be a social media personality / TikToker.
• Some call her a “Christian influencer”.
• She’s politically outspoken; some of her content touches on welfare, SNAP (food stamps), and poverty.

What She Said / Did About People on Food Stamps
1. Mocking Those Needing SNAP
• On TikTok / Instagram, she made videos mocking people who complain about not getting their food stamps for November.
• In one video, she seems to suggest that some people on food stamps are not “smart” about how they spend them — implying they misuse or mismanage their benefits.
• According to a news video, she “laughed at people who use food stamps like needing help to eat is some type of character flaw.”
2. Criticism of Her Tone / Delivery
• Some critics call her comments harsh, condescending, and lacking empathy, especially given how serious food insecurity is.
• People note an irony: she’s criticizing people on assistance while visibly eating (in some videos) in a way that many say is disrespectful (“talking while eating,” “smacking lips”).
• Some call it “mean” rather than “helpful critique.”
3. Political / Systemic Angle
• She’s linked her commentary on food stamps to broader political ideas: not just individual behavior, but how government assistance programs operate, who qualifies, and how people manage benefits.
• In her content, she seems to push a narrative that people on SNAP should budget carefully, work more (or better), and not rely too heavily on government assistance. This aligns with some conservative or “personal responsibility” viewpoints.

Why This Is Controversial
• Empathy vs. Judgment: Many people argue that mocking those who rely on SNAP fails to recognize systemic poverty, inflation, and other structural barriers.
• Influence: As an influencer, her tone matters — critics worry she’s shaping negative perceptions of welfare recipients.
• Personal Experience: Some observers question whether she truly understands the lived experience of people who depend on food stamps, especially if she’s not currently relying on them (or if she used them in the past).
• Public Backlash: Her videos have drawn a lot of negative reactions on social media, especially from people who feel she’s “punching down.
