last lady said it best. we shouldn't be celebrating actors and athletes as heroes, it's these kinds of people.
Yess!!! I've always thought the same, specially people with disabilities how do we not celebrate for and with them more in society? They are amazing people too💖💖
Why not celebrate everyone...actors and athletes can be heroes too. Some of them do great things for others.
I think we should learn to embrace everyone and not segregate people in groups and say one is better than the other. Just my humble opinion
This doesn’t mean not recognizing actors and athletes... it should mean recognize everybody for what they’ve done. Yes, we tend to recognize actors and athletes because we see them everyday in movies, shows, and games. I think rather than forgetting about the people who have given up other things to entertain us, we should recognize everybody for what great people they might be.
It’s okay to celebrate people who worked hard for shit but celebrating someone because of how much money they have is a recipe for destroying the future generations
I actually don’t agree with her on that, people always make it an either/ or situation, you can celebrate both regular people and people who have achieved a lot, acting and being an athlete takes YEARS of work and even then there’s a slim chance you’ll actually even start to make it in the industry. Most people in both fields don’t even make it as far as for it to be a liveable job, her statement comes across more as “celebrate people until they become recognised”
As a ups employee I’m submitting his name as a super upser (UPSs internal nomination system for employees who go above and beyond)
Our Blessed UPS driver was Bruce. Sumter County, Florida He is retired now. Wonderful Man!
Awesome!
My dad has been working for UPS for 32 years and just saved an older womans life who fell in her yard and was stuck there for 3 days. He didn't know her. Just happened to have a stop down the road and noticed she was in the yard. He's had several moments like that throughout his career. I worked Pre-Load for 2 years, before moving on to other things, but UPS really is a good company to work for. Had no idea that had a recognition program like that.
Ian Lee I recommend hitting up one of his coworkers to nominate him. There’s a lot of info I would need to nominate him
Has my vote
“These are the type of people we should be celebrating” - I couldn’t agree more !
Me Too 😍😍👍👍👍👍👍
Absolutely right! Well done!!!! 😃🤟💛
Amen!
Absolutely!
Don't celebrate him be him.
I would rather watch this than the Grammys or Oscars. Time for real excellence to be awarded. Congrats Greg.
I agree, the award shows are dead! The Oscars had an all time low viewing this past month
AMEN!!!
Definitely
Exactly! I would totally tune in for an awards show for service workers.
The one dislike is from FedEx
Lol
Lol 😆😆😆
hahahahaha

This is what America is suppose to look like. Not the crap we see happening now.
True ...but there is always a give and take, we have to give something in order to take. But most of the time we forget to give but expect 100%.
well said
The media is only instigating race wars because its election year and they don't want republicans in the white house.
The crap that is happening now is the real America. Always has been.
@@coyoteprophet9734 it is far worse niw
Not just Greg, this whole community seems pleasant.
Seriously...what the hell is this? 😦
Not my UPS delivery guy who never even bothers to ring but always leaves a note saying to pick it up at a store far away
Pleasantville town. 😁
Not a toxic city
@withgoddess sorry I don’t have time to wait and around for you to answer the door. Like I said you can always come pick it up at our store
I need to move there, I do actually have an American passport
Give Greg A Huge Promotion UPS. He really truly deserve it now.
He's probably already getting top pay. UPSers know what I mean
No, they will write him up for stopping his truck and doing personal business on company time and take away 1 hour of his pay :)
Why the heck would you wish a promotion on him? That would probably take him OUT of that neighbourhood, maybe even park him behind a desk. Wish him a raise and recognition, maybe a paid vacation, but not a promotion! 🤠
This guy has a full pension for retirement, and is probably making over $80,000 a year at this point... Greg will be alright. Oh and the Teamsters suck!
The whole point was to celebrate many workers like him. Everyone should get a promotion for doing their job? Idiot
I went to college with Greg and attended his wedding. He's truly such a wonderful person! This is his nature! We love you Greg & Frenchie (his wife)!
Yes!
Wow :)
To: Kecia O’Neal That is wonderful. It’s great to have good people in our lives.
Hi Kecia! Please tell Greg that he’s been an inspiration to many and his wonderful, caring disposition reminds us all that we truly are more alike than not alike. I’d like to think most Americans are kind and love the person for who they are regardless of skin color. This is one great example of that.
🥰 aww
“Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.” - Martin Luther King Jr.
Greg seems to be one who has earned an overwhelming amount of respect without demanding it.
Tell it to the Democrats.
@@naelyneurkopfen9741 Oh, there's always one Nasty REPUBLICAN, no matter how kind the subject is. Remember this folks. Remember how Donald Trump unleashed this hate and anger.
Naelyn Eurkopfen you don’t mean Republicans, right? There’s always that one SOB
Those words spoken Martin Luther King are always beautiful & timeless.
I have health problems and have trouble walking. When I came out of a variety store a woman was cleaning off excess snow from my car. She said she saw I was having difficulties. Then she followed me to the last store I needed to get things from and went in and purchased them for me. I paid her back of course. She refused to take the extra money that I offered her. She was late in taking her daughter to school that day. Thank you Melissa.
There are still lots of good-hearted people out there. That must have made you mushy.
She is a Angel walking among us, God bless her🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇
THANK YOU MELISSA, THAT WAS SO NICE OF YOU, THE WORLD NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
That's sooo nice xx
As an immigrant who just moved here, this is the America I wanted to go to since I was 6 years old. This is the America I want.
youre kinda late lol
You’re not late, welcome home friend. Glad to have you.
The people that tell you America is full of racists and your to late they are the racists.
Welcome! May you have such a loving experience. I feel immigrants are the "most" american because they CHOOSE it! 🇺🇸
bulbasaur, Just remember their is so much more to this country then what typically is reported in news. Most people are very decent at heart but society is almost forcing people to hide it now days. Also America is huge and different regions are very different in attitudes. I hope you are in one of the good ones. Also almost all of us were immigrants at some point in our ancestry, is so crazy how people forget this.
If news were showing things like this 90% of the time instead of negativity, I really think ppl would be influenced to be kinder to each other.
Yes
Sure, dont Show covid19 etc. just focus on people getting flowers.
Sounds like North Korea 😂😂😂😂
Yes ,Absolutely .
I completely and 100% agree. One of my teachers in high school would show us happy news stories on fridays and I always felt better/happier/nicer after hearing good news.
Yes.
This right here, is America. We cannot let media and politicians divide us.
🙌🏼👏🏻❤️🇺🇸
You're so right. When the lame stream media ,and certain politicians push this fake narrative, that America is so racist, i gladly say screw you!
@@calvinquitevis2291 amen to that !!! ❤️🇺🇸
Amen
Amen! 🇺🇸❤️
As a former UPS driver it’s so nice to see a community truly appreciate your service, not only for the company you represent, but YOU as a person. Well done! God bless you and your family!!
I appreciate you and your service Mike! Thank you! 😊
"These are the type of people we should be celebrating." Amen.
I don't think anyone wants more stories like this right now; *Everyone NEEDS more stories like this right now.*
There would be if folks stop making assumptions about people and killing them. Everyone that "I" know works hard and takes pride in what they do.
Agreed ❤️
Had to pause for a sec to process it, I love it
LT...thank you!
That don't mean racism doesn't exist
This story needs to be on CNN, FOX, NBC, CBS...we need hope in humanity.
Yeah it might be too American for Fox Noise
Most of today’s news always brings bad news.
CNN: black UPS driver gets surrounded by mob of white people.
That is what their story would look like.
I doubt fox is going to show this😂
Yeah, this would be a perfect "...and finally..." story at the end of the news hour.
what a great community. Nothing can separate them, they're just bonded by love and respect to each other
Oh tears!
I second that motion.
These are the race of people that joe says is the biggest threat to America lol look at all those awful white folks loving that beautiful man! He is wrong
Our UPS person who services our senior complex is like that. He goes beyond & in fact saved a person's life! Him going to the doors & used to ppl picking up their things he noticed after several stops to and around her place the resident wasn't picking her packages up. He reported it to the office who in turn went & unlocked her door found her on the floor. In this place if your head hits that floor you're normally a goner. Thank God, Mike our wonderful UPS man noticed! We love Mike!!! Hats off to this gentleman also!
Kuddos to Mike!! God bless him, the families, and the resident. God is good all the time!
Goes to show again, you don't have to wear a Cape to be a hero🙏❤
🤍🙏🤍 What a Beautiful Soul!
He has a lot of graduations, weddings, and baby showers to go to now that he is a part of the neighborhood family
Most DEFINITELY 😁
what?
YES WE CAN that’s so ignorant
YES WE CAN just stop bringing race into everything.
YES WE CAN yes he would’ve. Do you know how many videos I seen of white men receiving praise. And why are you mad that he is getting praise. For years white people have been praised in the media, in America, in this world. People want to look like white, live with white people, date whites people, have hair like rhem. And blacks are always told we look scary, our hair is nappy, we all are thugs, some even say we should’ve stayed slaves. So yes maybe it’s our turn to recieve praise because I see white people get it all the time and it’s not fair that just because they are white they are more accepted over a black man
Lets face it, kids have santa...
Adults have the big brown truck
and the North Pole is Amazon.com 😂
Lol.. So true. I get excited when I know my package is coming.
And the red white and blue one.
@@anti-russbot5127 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😍😂😍😂
Let's have a news station that only reports good news and people like Greg, and this community who appreciate him.
Wouldn't that be GREAT, totally agree ! ! !
Back in the 70s there was a station like that that reported only good news is lasted a very very very short time.
"These are the types of people we should be celebrating!"
ABSOLUTELY agree!
With all the rubbish that's going on, we tend to forget most people are decent.
Yes Sir! I’m from Glasgow but I worry about u all in America 👍🏴
I'm with you, so hard to find anything positive in the news anymore, just the same fear and hatred. It is nice to see people living up to their potential and actually being considerate.
@Dylan N So I guess this video upset you then? Too much positivity Eh?
Dylan N I think the 60’s and 70’s were just as volatile, if not more so. Those in power have not listened to a large section of the population telling them things are not right.
Of course there are really good people, I just really don't think it's MOST people
This is awesome, no black or white. Just good people. Wish they would put this on the news.
The news says you have to be antiracist. Thus wouldnt allow people to judge people by their actions or their character.
Exactly 💯
Especially cnn bias news if it brings us closer it’s not on their agenda
@James Jacobi oh please fox news = faux news
@@Angel-tw3ko Does CNN report accurate news?
This how God intended humanity to treat eachother.
I don't believe in god but I do in the goodness of fellow humans. Most folk are good folk given the chance.
Yesssssss
Amen.

@@greekpapi I great wonderful story, don't ruin it with politics. Just enjoy the story.
Could not have said it better. We used to round off the news with a good deed or happy thought. What happened?
Bridget Smartt yeah it keeps scarring me
The woman at the end said it best: These are the types of people we should be celebrating.
Baby-Shark GTO it’s wild. This used to be unspoken as it was ‘the norm’ in our culture.
@@sneakthieve: There is still plenty of time and space for that norm to be embraced.
NotSoHandyTim agreed. I’m always trying to treat people as individuals and play by the golden rule. Stay safe, friend.
@@sneakthieve: You as well.
I've never met a UPS driver that wasn't super cool like this guy. People like him keep our country alive, thanks 🇺🇲
I work for UPS, and definitely am shooting this video up the command chain. We need motivators and great examples like Greg to make us better humans. Your kindness, and devotion has made more proud of the company we work for. Thank you sir, you have a seat at my table and a place in my home, anytime.
He brought me my first camera when I first moved to Smithtown he is always being like that really humble and well deserved
That's cool, God Bless you and tell Greg we all appreciate him.
Awesome 👏🏽💕
He was doing his job for God's sakes. That doesn't make one a hero, gosh
@@MilanElan have you ever worked for ups are something similar and especially in a pandemic? I've you did you eont say that! I know it looks like an easy job but I garantí you that is very stressful and harsh. Getting wet getting cold getting chased by dogs...... I can stay hire to talk all day about it all I can say is that it's not a easy job!!
@@Hydrationistfan yes I have. I'm considered an essential worker. Doing my job doesn't make me a hero. Soldiers in the middle of gunfire who rescue fallen soldiers are heroes. Please, words need to regain meaning. Heroes are few, that is what makes them heroes
A HARD WORKING AMERICAN. Skin color doesnt mean a thing!!! Take note boys and girls!!
NomadGrimm66 Exactly
@Rusty Gears it’s the principle behind his statement. The fact is, there’s so much hate in the world today and yet those people see beyond that. If any of them had any bad experience towards a person who looks like Greg, one thing they’d remember is Greg is not a bad person. If one person who looks like Greg commit a crime , many would rush to say “ blacks do this and that” no one wants to be thrown in a bucket of ALL blacks do this and that, same for whites. All whites are not racist and all cops are not bad cops. This video brought tears to my eyes. Please don’t take my response negative. Great video!
Don't start. Let's keep the politics out of this.
Thank you 😊😊
D H Jesus, I don’t think you realize how racist this comment really is.
Anon You don't realise you're missing literally the entire point of their comment. They're saying nobody should be lumped into a stereotype because a group of people fit said stereotype. There are good cops and there are black criminals, where we go wrong is assuming every person is the same when they aren't.
These are our everyday Heroes ! They don’t make headlines in the newspapers ,or win big awards ! They just fill our hearts 🥰 Love and gratitude And a warm place in our hearts forever ! Thank you Everyday HEROS ! 👍💕✊🏾
There’s more people like this than the MSM ever reports on or about.....We need each other. 🙏🙏👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸
The lady at the end is right. We should be celebrating everyday, good people.
When you actually give people their flowers.
Yes🙌🏽🙌🏽
While they are still alive.
It's beautiful
That dude needs to be running the company. Every community wants a guy like that for their community
I wish everyone could be as kind as that wonderful human being, Greg is awesome ❤❤
Yep

"These are the people we should be celebrating1". Yes! Thank you to the woman who said that! All of those people doing their jobs to the best of their ability for US!! Thank you tenfold!
Amen to that 👈😍
If only everyone was like this.. there wouldnt be so much hate in the world.
Very true.
Amen 🙏
Right!!! Showing Love is how we Over Come anything , EVEN COVID19!!!!!!When God see Us showing and Doing acts of Love , He will Take Covid19 & more .. Awesome Video ♥️♥️
A lot of people are just like this... it's the media that wants us to think otherwise.
@@richardestenson7799 exactly.
What a beautiful gesture for such a wonderful man!
Well done, everyone!
It will be a living legacy for his children to realize their father wasn’t just a ups driver to someone the community looks up to!! And that’s powerful!

Why are there 707 dislikes?????? I don’t understand. This is a positive video and I’m glad this was shared to the world ❤️✝️
Maybe they are Fedex or DHL management.
the dislikes are from angry, bitter people.
They can't stand to see happiness, so sad for them
And the USPS 😂😂😂
After 4 yrs of 'you know who' what/which people do you think the dislikes came from? Like Kohlmann replied Angry, Bitter people. I am the one who categorized them
Wow, I’m From ONE town over. Didn’t even hear about this on our local tv station. God these uplifting stories NEED to be shared. Especially in these times.
Update I was watching our local news station and they did a piece on him.
This are the kind of people we should be celebrating...
That's the America we want🇺🇸 so proud to be an American.
This is so sweet, this is humanity. Our everyday heroes.
Why can’t we hear of more stories like this? It’s give me chills. What a great man, and he leads by example. Gosh this is the nicest thing.
Right!? Most people in this world are decent.. but much of the media will try to convince us otherwise.
Because mainstream media wants us to kill eachother, not work together to make the world a better place. That's why...
The community is amazing most people ignore these Courier drivers so the community are amazing people to recognize that this is a guy who works hard and is a decent human being. BLM is a horrible and wrong message for decent Americans there is no systemic racism there are individual racists and that will never go away. We didn't need division. everything can be fine if people just respect each other it's as simple as that
@@TheDeathMantis The democrats stirred this up. It's an election year and they must have the black vote to win in November by the way the money that people are donating to BLM is actually the Democratic National Committee

It has brain washed my fellow brothers and sisters against each other. Please I beg to not fall for this narrative.
Every job has that one person who's just so damn reliable and likable.
Wow. What a wonderful community and tribute to Greg!!! PRAISE GOD🙏🙏🙏
One act of kindness goes a long way in somebody's heart and life
Stories like this melts my heart. We need more LOVE in this crazy world of ours
Amen. I just think everyone wants to see the bad and glorify it and not the real life of all of us. It doesn’t sell the news.

We are all in this together! 💕
That’s what you call a great community ♥️ celebrating a kind soul.
What a lovely man. I had a UPS driver like that for years. He was a treasure.

the fact that everybody in that neighborhood knows him and have stories to tell about him, that goes to show his kindness leaves footprints

He’s just a beautiful human being!
How could you not love someone like that!
If 1/2 of Americans act as he does this Country would be the envy of the World!
What a heart warming way to say thank you. I am blown away by the genuine amount of kindness that way given to this man. We should be seeing and celebrating more stories like this in everyday news. There are so many people that seem so consumed by politics, anger, depression and loss. A little bit of kindness goes a long way.
He sounds like a solid dude
It’s nothing the media can sensationalize. So it’s not a newsworthy story. So sad.
I mean it’s not like if he is the only one there are many people who are kind and care.
Real man is constantly Solid.

Humans loving humans judge by character, not by color
Nobody brought up race or colour in this video.
These are decent people from a community celebrating and honouring a hard working man, nothing more nothing less.
Well, duh. You wouldn’t have even said that if the delivery driver was a white guy.
Big Mo I think he is talking about the world right now. Not really this video only. How we can always get along. No group should be defined by the actions of individuals. There are a ton of amazing people out there. We gotta remember that!
This is what most of America is really about!! I would like to see this story on the national News!
To all our delivery drivers..,THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Keep spreading the love. So grateful to see a community embracing a brotha ❤️
We all love you Greg! America’s UPS driver!
He seems like a very humble and hard working man. I’m so thankful that they did this for him.
I amthe proud wife of a UPS delivery man. This video was so heartwarming to see. I know the dedication my husband has to his customers and community he serves. The UPS delivery men and women are a rare breed. Dedicated beyond measure. I am proud of and grateful for him everyday of my life. Thank you to my husband, Greg, and all other UPS employees who kept us moving through this pandemic. You are amazing! Thank you also to the communities that treat the UPS men and women with respect. This wife thanks you all.
i just came across your post. I am Gregory's wife and know the dedication of not just the UPS drivers, but their spouses and families. Thanks to your husband for his tireless hours! Could not have gotten through this pandemic without their bravery and hard work!
I don’t understand how anyone could give this video a thumbs down. This message was so touching in every way❤️
Thank you sir for your commitment and the love that God has put in your heart. Kudo's to this man
Greg!!! That’s my UPS driver! He’s such a kind and amazing person, I’m definitely thankful to know someone like him.
He seems like a deserving individual to receive such praise.hats off to Gregg, and all the people who were in this video.The world needs more Greggs
s a u s a g e r o l l s
What most people don't know is that some UPS drivers are like this not just with the people but with their coworkers. One day when I worked at the store. Sometimes they would come by and eat lunch with us. One time a UPS driver got jumped and ended up killed. It made them cry because they knew that driver and was communicating with everyone to be safe and told us to triple check and make sure none of the girls that work at the store is alone and the back door locked at all times unless its one of them. They really do look after each other no matter how stressful the job is.
I have serious health problems, rarely leave my house, even before Covid and delivery drivers are sooo helpful. So thank you delivery drivers of all types. Your work is so important for those of us who can’t go to the stores ourselves. Whether it’s groceries or anything else, it’s so helpful. Thank you.
They're lucky to have him, and he's lucky to have them. What a wonderful expression of love.
Every cop should have this kind of relationship with their neighborhood.
Many of them do. Just because there's a few rotten apples in the basket, doesn't mean the whole basket is.
Creepingevil I’m so fortunate, that we do in our suburb. They don’t do any crazy training, because I have asked a number of times. They call my son “lead foot 🦶🏽” but they know he’s a good young man. This is what we need to hear about more, than the bad apples out there. 30 years in our town and people have seen your baby 👶🏽 grow into a young man. It’s a great 👍🏽 feeling. We’re the only family of color on our block for the past 20 years. Never had 1 incident of any kind. Hope it stays that way too!! Stay strong 💪🏽 and blessed always fellow Americans!!!
Most of them do. The reason you often don't hear about it is because that's what a cop should be like. The ones you do hear about are the ones that are assholes.
Absolutely Right 👏👏 👏
At one time they were called peace officers and did from what I have heard from older relatives.
Rightly said ' these are the people we should be celebrating'
Both Greg and the community .....are exemplary.
Its amazing to see this bond and recognition of people's work and efforts. Hats off to the neighbourhood and to greg for being a great guy!!!
The world needs more people like Greg AND his community!
There are plenty of people like Greg. They just overlooked and taken for granted, mostly by people who look like the folks applauding him in the video. But if Greg could dunk a basketball, swing a bat, or wear a dress to an award show, he would be celebrated for certain.
@@arrellehnisrael8229 you're racist. Sorry, you have to be making a broad statement like that. So a non-black person cannot compliment a fellow man without being accused of being racist? I pray you see the hypocrisy in that. But sadly, my guess is you won't, you just dig yourself in deeper with your attack of me now. Praying for you dude!
@@davidfarmer9017 I know it makes you feel like a king to assume I'm some racist, angry guy. Its easier to do that than it is to try to understand the why, the real reason why! Perhaps my experiences play a role in the way I process moments like the one in this video.
I see it as disingenuous.
Maybe if it was from the UPS delivery personnel's view... it would seem more authentic. Instead, this looks like typical damage control, and PR moves that any corporation would do after it absorbs a negative public blow. Bigotry in America is no longer an open secret lurking in the shadows like ghosts or hidden underground like sewage pipes. Now America is stripped nude and trying to hide its shame with these puffy pieces about racial harmony.
Imagine for a moment, if you never heard of this event until the UPS driver posted it on the internet. Imagine if he was the only person recording. Imagine if the media never got a hold of the story and it was just a popular viral video... it would certainly be more genuine and the UPS driver wouldn't feel so used. Look at him, and tell me if you see happiness on his face or if you see a guy trying to figure out, what the heck is are these folks trying to pull... and why am I on USA TODAY?!
I didn't become a critical thinker over night. I was once the type of person who could be fooled by stories such as this one. But I got my wake up call.
You assumed I need your prayers... the reality is you need mine.
I appreciate your thoughtful response. But again, I disagree. And no, I don't feel like a king? I feel badly for how this video has been characterized by you in such a cynical way. Clearly you have deep seated reasons for feeling the way you do. And I'm not arrogant enough to assume I can fully understand those feelings Arell. But if you step back, remove your tinted glasses, you'll see that first, this wasn't some video posted by a major media outlet to somehow shape opinion. It appears to simply be a video that someone genuinely posted to try and spread love rather that hate and discourse that is so rampant today as it pertains to racism in America. Is there racism? Sure. There always has been, and there always will be. And not just between blacks and whites or even simply targeting blacks. Epidemic levels? No. Not as its being presented and stoked daily. Our country has had enough in my opinion. Americans in general are great people from all walks of life. So let's celebrate a positive video, no matter where it came from, and end this cynical bashing of projecting hate and bias based on such insufficient and malnourished data that's being twisted daily by those who are blinded by systemic hatred, using "causes" to shroud their true intent. You're smarter than that, and so am I. Just watch a nice story that highlights a great person, smile and move on. Spit out the koolaid, it's not always a conspiracy, it's just people being nice.
PS. I appreciate your prayers for me.
@@davidfarmer9017 Being realistic, is not being cynical. The Thanks-Giving holiday is also a National Day of Mourning for true Native Americans.
Are they being cynical?
I say true Natives, because many have descended from families who paid 5 dollars for Native American status through the Dawes Rolls. They did this to gain benefits from new policies made to Natives, particularly regarding land ownership. It (Dawes Rolls) was strategy set up by the very people who were helping the Natives.
Hate comes with a smile. That's why God warned to look out for wolves in sheep's clothing. But I guess God is being cynical.
My ups guy throws my packages😥 I need a greg in my life!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😂
Yanet Padilla we all need a Greg. I actually have one my postal carrier, his name is Ken, but all around great guy goes above and beyond. We just need good honest people in the world
How can I find such a peaceful and loving community elsewhere? Most neighbours feel socially anxious when you have eye contact with them. They end up looking like watching TV on ground while walking to avoid a "good morning". It feels great to see this neighbourhood community strong and loving
Joe. He wears his heart on his sleeve, his empathy and compassion are priceless as are his deeds. Amen 🙏!
Glad to see a black man being acknowledged without something negative going on,we hardly ever see this openly
I think we hardly ever see it in the media because they want us to all be divided by race, religion and money. Because we are too strong united and that scares the people trying to control us. If you search for these kinds of videos you will see there are millions of them. Its only the media that portrays different.
@@Just_a_girl_in_the_world except we are divided racially,have you not seen the video of George Floyd? Breonna Taylor? And so many other African American men and women killed by the police for no reason? Economics and other issues tied, bottom line racism always been alive and well in America,I don't know where you live or background however the media on the real ain't exposed White Privilege enough to show how it really is
@Raven -Chan way more than that...a black man was just shot 11 times in Lafayette, Louisiana... a lot of it don't get major media attention....I live in southern LOUISIANA and that's the deep south...I'm telling u what I know!!
@@mrmaxxx94 We are divided racially because we have allowed it to be like this. If every person decided to accept each-other there would be no issue. Its our own individual beliefs and upbringing and the media slant that divides us. I also think that America is far worse for racism than it is here in Canada. My entire social circle is made up of all different races. None of us treat each other any differently. Us humans need to change our perceptions. I know there was the recent police brutality incident. Which was awful. I even went to a BLM protest because of it. But there has also been police brutality against white people as well. The media just doesn't put that stuff out there as often because it doesn't benefit the divide that our world leaders want to create. I have experienced hate because I am white as well. But I send those people love and I pray for them. Because I love all. And I hope one day, regardless of how awful things have been that you can change your perception to.
heck yeah UPS drivers have been saving our butts through this whole covid pandemic. Thank you to all the essential workers you guys are the lifeblood of America!!!!!
I wish the whole world was like this no violence no drugs no guns just civilized good people 👍
Ok, so the guy went above and beyond. It sounds like he went way above and beyond. But what's more amazing to me is that people, more than one person, took note and wanted to recognize that. Too many times people go above and beyond and get no recognition. Meanwhile reality stars are recognized for doing absolutely nothing. Kudos to Greg and that whole neighborhood.
Okay, where was the news media showing this. A story of people celebrating this guy?
Um, we're quite literally on the USA Today channel.
They are, you just watched it.
It is not Click Bait enough.
detractor I bet you turn right around and call liberals the snowflakes 😂
This is the news media. It's USA Today.
"These are the kind of people we should be celebrating" ABSOLUTELY 👍
Seeing my UPS and USPS delivery persons is the highlight of my day.
This man has really made a difference with these families. He’s an amazing guy.
