Joey Salads is a 22-year-old Youtube Star with over 1.4 million subscribers. The vlogger is mainly known for his pranks and social experiments,specificallyhis ones targeting African Americans. Joey's made several pranks where he enters "black"neighborhoods and provokes different strangers to get a violent response.
Long time coming?
Many viewers have suspected that Joey's videos are fake for years. Several Youtube Pranksters have resorted to hiring actors for their videos rather than getting genuine reactions from strangers. Kat Blaque, a fellow YouTuber, made a videoin September calling him out and questioning his authenticity.
Now, it's clear that everyone's suspicions were correct and the videos have been fake all along.
The debunking
The newest video (which is now deleted) was debunked within days of it being uploaded. The original video started with Joey supposedly leaving a car filled with Trump merchandise in a "black"neighborhood. 15 minutes later, the car is seen getting vandalized by several African-American men.

We need to teach the black youth to work hard to get out of poverty, not brainwash them to blame their race. pic.twitter.com/uRvEckBmEO

Saying that "Stop & Frisk" Unfairly targets Black people is like saying the Estate Tax Unfairly targets White people.

Joey responds tobeing exposed
Joey has released three videos addressing the incident so far.
In his first response, he explains that the Trump video was originally meant to show people's reaction to his actors vandalizing the car, but he decided to change his idea while editing. However, many viewers have pointed out a problem with Joey's excuse. If Joey truly just changed his mind while editing, then the intro to his videowould've let us know that. It's clear that Joey's story isn't true and the video he uploaded waswhat he always intended to film.
