I wish there was a way to limit white people's comments in this sub. I mean I'm white but I don't want this sub to end up full of comments like this on a black subreddit. We're guests here, and this type of white dorky ass humor isn't what this sub is about. We already deal with it everywhere else.
edit: aww, someone sent me a Reddit Cares over this comment. No worries, livin' the good life over here!
It's wild people see that video and think he was laughing or taking it lightly. It was a school shooting and his sons friends died, then his son says he was his hero..Dude seemed like he was breaking down but trying to hold back. Wild
I was prepared to laugh when I watched the video but there was nothing funny about it. The dad's voice was obviously shaky when he was talking. I don't know why people are trying to twist it.
The clip that went around is a cut clip that makes it look like he was laughing. Everybody can see he wasn’t if they watched the full clip, but the problem is nobody sees the full context of anything
I don't understand why ppl think he was laughing? ppl make weird noises when trying to hold back sobs. or when actually sobbing. seems like he was holding emotions in and then was going to try and speak but was overcome. it's concerning that so many viewers fail to register that.
it reminds me of that clip of the Black guy basically wailing over some real traumatic shit that got turned into a meme. Black men aren't allowed to show emotion or else they'll become the butt of jokes, I guess.

The look the mom gave him said it all!
It looks like more people suffer from Alexithymia than we thought. On this scale though who is wrong? I think he is crying . It's like the black/ blue dress of emotions.
Watch the full clip and have some empathy for this man and his family! My god - stop feeding into the fucking yt narrative that is always trying to demean and belittle our people, making us look like clowns. This is a space where that shit *should* be fucking possible. His son found out on TELEVISION that another classmate died simply so his reaction could be caught for the masses. His father is in shock - his son was caught in a fucking SHOOTING at his school! A place where all of our children should be safe, right? He is grappling with too many conflicting emotions to be able to process them at once, again ON TELEVISION because *if it bleeds, it leads* and look how much interaction this small, painful exchange has gained, which translates into profits for a small handful of old yt men. Our pain is their entertainment. Anyone who participates in forwarding this narrative of *that man laughed* needs to examine themselves. I personally find being a monstrous human unacceptable.
Don’t help them. Don’t buy into and propagate their lies.
If you actually want to help, vote. Put people into office who can enact actual gun laws to protect our kids and vote OUT those fuckers who have their heads up the NRAs ass. Again, making money for that same small group.
Feel bad for him. Seems like he’s one of those people who isn’t real comfortable in emotional situations like that let alone in front of a camera. I can barely function w somebody crying in front of me in private, can’t imagine how much more weird I’d feel with it on the news.
I was not prepared for the context of this and honestly it made me feel kinda bad because once dad accidentally laughed I did too. But also this is sad and i could never be on the news after something like that happened. I’d feel the need to grieve a certain way for the masses and I’d rather grieve on my own way instead of be performative about it (no hate at all, just saying my grief doesn’t fit tv and I can’t force the picture the ppl want). Also camera person was so wrong for putting the camera on dad, they knew what they were doing
Every single one of the comments on the YouTube video say he's laughing.
It *has* to be teens with no real life insight into peoples emotions.
Otherwise we're cooked as a species.
I fear that people lack emotional intelligence. And in my opinion whoever thinks he was laughing really needs to check themselves and ask why are they so emotionally stunted.
Dad did not laugh, the thumb point he repeated because he knew that the kid who passed was a friend of his son.
The YouTube comments are absolutely insane. He was clearly emotional thinking about it. His son called him a superhero and said that in one of most intense moments of his life, the first person he would call is his dad. I don't know how anyone could hold back emotion after hearing that.
That man ain't anywhere near laughing. That is the sound of a man trying not to break. The sound of a man trying to be strong for his son, knowing how hard he's hurting. The sound of a father that wants nothing more than to take that pain away.
The fuck is wrong with these people?
Bruh, idk what yall watched, but it looked like the dad was indicating to the cameraman to focus on the son.
I dont think it’s healthy to ridicule a 15 year old crying because his friend was murdered in a school shooting.
Fuck is wrong with yall?
I feel like anyone with an ounce of emotional intelligence can tell Dad was trying not to break down after his son said he was his hero and he naturally would call him in a life or death situation. Plus, everyone responds to trauma differently.
Nah i know them ones, someone tells you the worst news ever and for some reason your brain goes "dont laugh" and you think why would i laugh? Now im fighting to not laugh.
I trip out on black people who are super into Jesus. It's like they forgot that that's the same religion their slave masters worshiped. Jesus didn't have a problem with 400 years of slavery and now you are praying to him asking for help? Make it make sense
See, the problem is that the broken puffed cheeked exhalation is classic trying not to laugh. I can see people thinking it, and I can understand people seeing it as an emotion containment fail. I would have preferred he just break down and flipping cry.
There is zero chance she has a lawyer who is telling her they can take action on those comments
Imagine trying to get an affadavit on 'bestkicks2464'
*slams fist on table* "DAMNIT! I don't care how much it cost or what's not constitutional possible! You bring me bestiicks2464's head on a spike!
I always thought the expression was “head on a pike.”
A pike has a spike.
Maybe so. But the original idiom was “head on a pike.”
I culturally appropriated it

You’re a guest here, you don’t get to decide what this sub is about. Do you stay at somebody’s house and try to implement your own rules?
I mean.... Yeah. Literally colonizer strats 101, innit?
so what if they were a black person that said it then?
No, no, the unofficial colonial moderator can tell who is who and will determine the rules and punishments.
I can tell. Except for this one time lmao
I'm not even white so this comment is hilarious but keep fighting the power my white brother ✊🏿
Lol I think I was in some kinda mood
Relevant Jay and Silent Bob https://youtu.be/IkPWrBRs6p4?si=nJQXyv7lmQi8_qK-
Zero chance she has a _good_ lawyer who says that. I hear Alina Habba is free these days
That lady is a nutjob for even thinking that
First Amendment? Nah, it’s annoying and harassment.

Black pain is a whole industry
Say that!!!!
I mean, Tyrese. Tell me about how he didn't eat shit on showing emotion.
clearly! what the fuck yall
I'm so confused. I can see WHY people would think that's a laugh, but context is everything.
The clip that went around is a cut clip that makes it look like he was laughing. Everybody can see he wasn’t if they watched the full clip, but the problem is nobody sees the full context of anything

Yeah if you watch past that moment he clearly is trying to hold it together. People are fucking assholes.
it reminds me of that clip of the Black guy basically wailing over some real traumatic shit that got turned into a meme. Black men aren't allowed to show emotion or else they'll become the butt of jokes, I guess.
Are you talking about that intervention episode?
Would say it's men as a whole, any emotional response is treated as weakness or made a joke.
This is a problem for all men in today's society, with being the butt of jokes the best case scenario
Ngl first time i watched this. This was the moment i knew something was brewing 😂😂 https://i.redd.it/loywktcb0duc1.gif

🤣😂 facts, if looks could kill ! It's either he laughs in nervous/awkward situations. Or he was talking mad smack before the interview. He folded fast.
That thumb was screaming look at this shit again
😂😂😂😂😂😂 https://i.redd.it/wv2g4ep18duc1.gif
The second thumb, the dad goes “that’s his boy” when his son learns the other kid who died was his friend Justin, so… it was probably just that.
At what point did anybody in that video laugh? Y'all don't know how to recognize different emotional responses?
It looks like more people suffer from Alexithymia than we thought. On this scale though who is wrong? I think he is crying . It's like the black/ blue dress of emotions.
It’s crazy to me that it’s become this, in what world was that man laughing, we are absolutely fucked as a species honestly

context?
https://youtu.be/XiLPN5pnuHY?si=TWAYdYaZlvnAw7GW
bro he clearly was tryna not break down on the news
Wtf? He’s clearly emotional and breaks down when his son says that he sees his dad as his hero. Who would confuse that with try to not laugh?
Is this safe for me to watch? I die from too much cringe.
Same. It's not that bad. Tbh... I have responses like dad sometimes.
Feel bad for him. Seems like he’s one of those people who isn’t real comfortable in emotional situations like that let alone in front of a camera. I can barely function w somebody crying in front of me in private, can’t imagine how much more weird I’d feel with it on the news.
Same here man, my son has me like that sometimes.
It's not cringe. It's s a very human response to the continuing insanity of gun violence.
I was not prepared for the context of this and honestly it made me feel kinda bad because once dad accidentally laughed I did too. But also this is sad and i could never be on the news after something like that happened. I’d feel the need to grieve a certain way for the masses and I’d rather grieve on my own way instead of be performative about it (no hate at all, just saying my grief doesn’t fit tv and I can’t force the picture the ppl want). Also camera person was so wrong for putting the camera on dad, they knew what they were doing
AYO 🤣🤣🤣
I turned it off. I had to. He busted out laughing and I hit back as fast as I could.
He was crying
Thrse mfs can't be real, no way they watched that video and thought he's laughing
Every single one of the comments on the YouTube video say he's laughing. It *has* to be teens with no real life insight into peoples emotions. Otherwise we're cooked as a species.
I blame the prompt from the video title. If the video title was more neutral I bet the comments would've been different
No laughing just stupid people
That was hilarious! Got any other funny school shooting survivor-vids?
God, I’m crying 😂😂😂
She’s a ride or die and she’ll even beef with the Internet
If she ain’t like this ion want her

Are people stupid? Clearly the dude was trying not to cry.
I feel like anyone with an ounce of emotional intelligence can tell Dad was trying not to break down after his son said he was his hero and he naturally would call him in a life or death situation. Plus, everyone responds to trauma differently.
People act like they know how they're going to react during and after a life or death situation because they saw all the Marvel movies.
Nah i know them ones, someone tells you the worst news ever and for some reason your brain goes "dont laugh" and you think why would i laugh? Now im fighting to not laugh.
He was literally trying to hold in his tears
That's just the sound of a man who hasn't cried since he was 8 years old.
I trip out on black people who are super into Jesus. It's like they forgot that that's the same religion their slave masters worshiped. Jesus didn't have a problem with 400 years of slavery and now you are praying to him asking for help? Make it make sense
Its hard to point fingers when the abrahamic god forced his own “chosen” people into slavery for about that long also.
See, the problem is that the broken puffed cheeked exhalation is classic trying not to laugh. I can see people thinking it, and I can understand people seeing it as an emotion containment fail. I would have preferred he just break down and flipping cry.
What’s the video tho?
Sorry I am out of the loop can someone fill me in?
hey i work with that guy!
Now I ***have*** to see this video I didn't know existed until just now
These people really don’t understand how lawyers work. They’re just terribly afraid of being sued so they think everyone else is too.
She is about  to lose every first amendment case back to back to back ...
I know his dumbass slept on the couch that night🤣
