Hot 97: Is The Sharkeisha Fight Video Funny Or Offensive? [Video/Poll]

Video After The Jump

By now most of you have probably seen or at least heard about the Sharkeisha fight video. In the one and a half minute clip a 17-year old Houston girl named Shamichael Manuel is sucker punched and kicked by 16-year old Sharkeisha (Sharkeysha), who believes her former friend was trying to steal her boyfriend.

The video has now gone viral and has racked up millions of online views. The internet has gone nuts with gifs and meme photos, making Sharkeisha famous worldwide.

Most of the jokes center around the fact that someone actually put "shark" in their daughter's name. Meanwhile the victim has been left battered, bruised and humiliated.

“I was just in shock. I was like oh my God. Did she really do this? You’re supposed to be my close friend,” Manuel told KHOU. “We were talking in school earlier that day. She made it seem like there was nothing wrong with her. It is hurting and crushing to me. I felt humiliated and embarrassed and hurt at the same time."

Manuel's mother, Olevia Henderson, has attempted to get the video yanked from the internet, but that is pretty much an impossible task.

“The video’s just going and going. They’re making jokes, and they’re taunting. They’re glorifying the girl Sharkeysha, but they’re taunting my daughter at the same time,” said Henderson. “I was in the grocery store, and the girl was checking out my groceries. The baggers were just laughing and talking about it. I said that’s my daughter in that video, and their whole expression changed,"

On today's episode of Hot 97's The Realness, Peter Rosenberg and Ebro wonder if the video and all of the hoopla surrounding it is funny or offensive?
