This interview changed my life honestly
Man this deep
@Elizabeth Rose I care so your comment is invalidated.
Bye!
Much love from Chicago Drip B. 💯💯💯💯💯
Man skip is a real one much realer then Stephen A Smith
“ I never was taught to look down on her…I only looked up.” Now that was powerful.
Amen💪👊🙏💯
Great
Frrr
Facts bro
That was deep
You can clearly tell this woman had a profound impact on your life, and she loved you like her own Son.
🖤
I'm sure he has teary nights thinking about her that is love
Girl bye🙄😩🥴🤣🤣🤦🏽♀️
@@Happyflower_gyal always one negative person out the bunch .
@john tower 😩🤣🤣🤣🤣😟🤦🏽♀️🤤🤤🤣
Growing up in the 70's, we had one white family in our neighborhood. The girl, and I became besties! She would call my house and ask my mom, "Can my sister go with me to see a basketball game?" That was my first experience seeing a live basketball game, and she taught me how to play the piano in elementary. Good times! That was 46 years ago, and we're still friends to this very day.
What a friendship!
GUURL SHUT YO MOUF! Fortunately I can't hold you accountable as your post was a month before mine, but you just made me miss my goal of crying only once today, are there any other takers or should I just stop reading now! WOW! Thank you for sharing your awesome story and wonderful childhood experience, there is truly an immeasurable power of love!
@@TEE-nk7jh Aww you're very welcome! I am laughing at crying once a day. I cry like all the time. Just because, I am blessed and thankful for God's blessings.
@@SlimShadly Thanks! I have been blessed with longtime friends.
@@Wrightn221 Hello NaNa, if I may so call you that?! Sentimental things usually turn me into a bucket of tears! We are all BLESSED whether we choose to acknowledge that fact is another story!
I had the same experience until 5 yrs old! I thought she was my mother. She disappeared, suddenly and they never told me why until I was grown. Her name was Mary. She had a heart attack. I can feel that sadness to this day.
So sad, 😞 it's a shame they didn't explain her loss to you as a child. Rest in peace to Mary.
Aww I’m sorry 😢 RIP to Ms. Mary.
That’s so sad! 😔
My condolences
Awww. I'm glad you were blessed to have time with her.
As a white guy that grew up in the "hood" I relate to this so much. Growing up diverse helps you out later in life.
Absolutely!!!

There are many "Katie Bells" out there. These are the stories that need to be spoken.Skip... God bless you.
Amen 🙏🏿
My mom was one !!!!
Katie Bell = Big Mama
My mother was one
Nice story...blessings to Her and you Skipp.
You never know just how much of an impact you have on people, especially on children!!! That was a wonderful story, thank you for sharing it!!!
Of course, a parent/guardian has a profound impact on a child's life. Everyone knows that. You never know?? Yes, you do.
I have a similar experience. Mine was with a polish woman whom I was acquainted with. Her name was Eleanor Cypress from East Hazel Crest IL. She was the smartest, kindest and most giving compassionate human I've ever known.. and she taught me more about love and caring though not a shred of racism was ever present .

@@reginabroughton5917 that’s awesome :) thank you for sharing that!
Katie Bell was my Godmother, Ozie. When my parents were working, Ozie raised me and my sister. She fed us, watched and bathed us, spanked us, and loved us. She was my second mother, and her family was our family. Skip, thank you for bringing back memories like this. Who else had a Katie Bell in your life?
So why would you call her by her first name. That's like total disrespect to me, but let us call your grandmother by her first name, see how disrespectful that is. I get him, but calling her Katie Bell, throws me off, but that's what his parents called her, so he didn't know any better.
@@alloutjoy3172 I understand the first name issue. Not sure.. definitely wasn’t a disrespect thing! Didn’t realize that honestly. But she was my godmother not grandmother.
I had an aunt Lavanie who loved me when my mom past away when I was 10. She always said I didn’t birth you, but I love you the same as my children. She showed me ❤.
@@alloutjoy3172 so what was he supposed to call her? Second mama? Mama when mama wasn't home? Katie Bell means we need to remember her. Know her name to never forget it.
I know right just like he said when he got out of line Ms Katie Belle brought THE HEAT!
He's hyper aware of how some people are going to construe this, and he did it anyway. I have a lot of respect for this man.
Mos def!
Never stop telling your powerful story and spread the love 💘
I’ve a lot of respect for this man. To tell his truth is awesome!! Please keep telling your powerful truth. You got me crying. You’re awesome & your love & respect for Katie Bell. God bless you.
No doubt...he set it up perfect which made it all the more real to me he wasn't trying to gain attention or favor simply telling his truth giving us insight on himself so we better understand who Skip Bayless is a genuinely good guy..
I find it ridiculous the way he has to keep almost apologizing for his own story. Is this what society has come to? That is his lived experience, why should anybody have a problem?
My own grandmother was a “Katie Belle”. Her other “kids” loved her. I know many will criticize Skip and say this is pandering, but I have witnessed the love and respect between caregivers and the children they care for. These kids spend more time with the caregiver than their own parents.
So true! I am a product manager of a caregiver’s love, as well as witness to the power of these loving individuals.
❤️
This is so true. The kids my mom cared for are grown now but they are still in touch. They love my mom. So much wonderful memories.
I would hope not. Children need love, affection, guidance and nurturing anywhere it can be provided with stability. None of those things requires bloodlines. Katie Bell was his angel on Earth. We all need that.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot2 facts bro
I don’t know why this came up in my feed, but I’m crying like a baby. Thank you for sharing this powerful story.
Me too it was a beautiful life changing story.
YOU TOO! HAHAHA And the reason it came up is it was meant for you to see on the day you did!
Was amazing 🥲
Did you the edge of night..lol 😂 yesss
DAMMITTT..... now I'm tearing up
Great story. I had an auntie who was housekeeper in a white household. The children loved her beyond measure. When she died, they attended her funeral because they “couldn’t not” and cried as much as her real family if not more. When love sees no colour it unites more than divides, is so beautiful to see and you feel blessed just to be a part of it 💝 🙏🏾
They loved what she could "do" for them. Love is comparable
Mammy
My grandma babysat for some white kids. Their family came to her funeral. Same type scenario you described. As far as how they acted at the funeral
Skip always seemed genuine in his love and respect for African Americans. Now you can see why, he was nutured and loved by one.
Exactly what I was thinking
It explains a lot. He almost has a hood pass
Ahnaya rashai ahtawanala mawatawa.
That part 💯
@@parkerxjr nobody cares about a hood pass that is scum of the Earth
She left him with a lifetime of knowledge by being a God sent mother. My mother did the same thing and these little children were attached to my mother as their own. Truly a God sent woman 🙏
Your mother was a stewardess of the Lord. She was picked by the angels before her soul came to earth to help our Almighty God with his precious children. I really believe that, Isaac.
God hates Esau
Amen❤️🙏
Beautiful ❤️
That sounds like my mother
She loved him more. That was cute🥰 he remembered her favorite shows, awww. The church part😂😂 he right
HAHAHA the show recognition got me TOO, My Pops still watches those old westerns like GUNSMOKE, I use to watch them with him growing up, but the LID WAS REALLY BLOWN OFF when he brought up The Edge Of Night! HAHAHA
This should have many more views. A positive, uplifting story that we don’t often hear about. What a legacy Ms. Bell has left us.
And many more like her.
It has 1 million now
She enriched Skips life in ways his parents weren’t equiped to. What a blessing for a young child to be exposed to culture without expectation or prejudice
Too bad most of them don't do that for their own sons

@@mannsolo6294 too bad most BM dont stick around to see it anyway
@@mannsolo6294 well, if people like your parents didn't have them jailed, killed, or not hired then maybe they would be.
Katie Bell sounds like Bettie Nelson my grandma! She worked for a white family and raised their children! They sat right with us at her funeral and may have cried more than we did! At that point I realized the impact my grandmother had on another family besides ours! Great story Skip!!!!!
This past weekend I was speaking to my gma about my great gma and she told me about how she would leave the city of Atlanta to go all the way to the Northside of town to take care of the white people's children while they were gone most of the time and she was pretty much like a mother to them. After she retired and those kids got older they would send her money in the mail periodically all the way up to when she passed back in 2002. Came to the funeral and gave my gma a pretty thick yellow envelope. RIP Eunice Dudley 💙
Same thing for my grams Leoria White. When my grams died the white family she took care of cried harder than some of our own relatives.
My Grandma Earlene did as well! Raised 2 wealthy Jewish kids and the family treated us like GOLD!!! Every birthday and Christmas I got BEAUTIFUL books and journals that were very rare finds and I still have most to this day! They also retired my Grandma LOVELY and she was VERY well off and had to ask for NOTHING in her last days! They cried harder than us at her funeral. They LOVED my Grandmother VERY much! The parents as well
The help
My cousin Betty mae had the experience that you just talked about. The children she raised came to her funeral. Are we talking about the same Betty Nelson?
My maternal grandmother was like that. Her neighbors down the road had children & would come to her house & blend in with her children, eat & play. They looked at Grandama Rachel as their mother until she passed. It was because she spent time with them & loved them!🥰
It’s humbling, we are the most oppressed yet the most accepting, we face the most trauma yet have the most compassion.. I love my people! Will never get the full credit of how undeniably strong woman of color are but this was beautiful.
I love this!
Say THATTTTT 💪
Beautifully said. Peace and blessings.
Yep, most accepting!
Allowing your own group to be infiltrated and subdued by other racial groups.
Yup, they even keep on bombing people's lands and yall just keeping embracing them like ducks
Love isn’t blind at all. It sees everything and IT DOESNT MATTER. This was a LOVE story. And I Loved it 🥰
Beautifully said.. I love it, simple but so concrete..
This is so true
Love your spirit.
Sending love all over the world 🌍🙏🏽♥️
Facts
Drip Bayless has crossed over with a whole new level of street love. We love you Skip. Had no idea about this story and this part of your life, but it makes sense. I felt every word he said
Yeah, he’s talked about this before, aside from the psychic.
I’m afraid Skip and Ernestine were conned. A simple google search will bring up when he talked with Shannon about Katie Bell back in June of 2020, and he talked about her in an interview in 2013, before that.
I first heard Skip talk about this even before that, but it wasn’t many times, snd I don’t remember if he named her.
Point is, the psychic/medium manipulated Ernestine, because they had the information about Skip, and used it after she trusted them. Now they have a hook in Skip. Hopefully he’ll realize this, and the psychic won’t be able to use his memories of such a wonderful person to manipulate him.
Same bro.
He used to talk about it alot back on the old shows. Still can’t excuse him for the nonstop lebron slander haha
Some LeBron slander is fine but the Baker mayfield fan boyism is to much 😂
Skip will always come in with a hot take, then be right 3 months later. This plus the content of the video elevating his street cred for sure
The ending took me out😭😭😭 these are the type of stories that can change the world 🌎 ❤️
Change the world by changing how u behave with ur own. NO HATE HERE. Just proper behavior. Our melanin blinds us. Peace no disrespect 👸🏿
I'm crying listening this story
This was beautiful to hear Skip because love doesn’t own a color.
he is pandering. God bless katie-Belle. she was in a *Get out* type of situation.
@@PHlophe look at you spreading negativity good job buddy
Glad to finally hear someone white say this. Our families have told us their experiences for years with the white children they raised
This all very weird
(I'm not American)
Skips got 70 years of knowledge and experiences that will eventually be lost one day, I think he should really start doing more of these stories, he's so good at telling them, and not even just sports stories (as we know he's been everywhere seen everything) but it would be really cool to hear these first hand accounts
I agree
Won't b lost once it's on the internet its gonna b there forever u just have to ask the right questions to get those stories out tho
That's y I think he wanted his own show to get those stories out so there coming
Skip is a Weirdo
@@jaybatt4507 pat mcafee show soon about to pass undisputed tho lol
Those type of old school grandma's made each child feel like she loved them the best ❤️
I may not always agree with his hot takes but, I respect this man. It took some courage telling this story knowing how some might misconstrue this.
He needs to do a TED talk about this. It is very important, almost critical that a white man discuss issues of race in the United States. His phrase, "I was never taught to look down on her, but rather look up" is deep.
Yeasssss 💯💯💯
So what. People Are People. This story is no big deal.
@@paulsinger8894 True, but based on the time he was a child and where he was raised, it was a really big deal.
@@paulsinger8894 Exactly what was the point in saying that? Everyone else sees the beauty of this story but you. Maybe you should ask yourself why this beautiful & kind story just triggered you. No need to respond. Thanks.
@@ericaadmin5195 Paul he's a racist that's why
My grandmother was a "Katie Bell" She worked for a rich Doctor in Chicago. They wanted my grandmother to live with them indefinitely because they loved her so much, but my grandmother didn't want to leave her family. She knew we needed her more. RIH Catherine Hines! I love you..
A moment of silence for all The Ms. Katie Bells. We salute you Ms. Belle
I couldn't have said it better!
Amen, Amen !!!
@@joycelewis2934 NO DOUBT!
My grandmother was a “Katie Bell.” They raised other peoples kids so they had very little time for their own families because they needed to make a living. They also were always paid under the table so no social security benefits. They were never really family. Yes the White kids that my grandma raised came to her funeral. They actually loved her and she loved them. Too bad they were not treated well financially.
Wow
You are right... My grandmother raised other white peoples family to support her own family..
These are the types of stories this world and country need more of!

God blessed you with her,for a reason and I think you know why, I had a Katie Bell and that's why I know that you know why go ahead and smile 😊😊😊😊
WOW! HAHAHA I'm so glad others are sharing this moment with me!
I remember seeing Skip talk about Katie Bell on Undisputed a few years ago while Shannon patiently listened and nodded in agreement. I realized how the two have bonded over the years…. Ms. Katie Bell, apparently was one heck of a woman. Thank you Skip Bayless for sharing your love of all! 🌹
If she was truly an equal, she would have had a title-Ms. Katie Bell. If she was older than your parents you all should have NEVER called her by her first name! Also, what were her wages? Was she paid in accordance with her worth? Probably not. She was not a member of your family. She had her own family. You were blessed by the undeserved generosity of this woman.
Laughing to hide the pain is in my DNA. Skip you stole my heart with this story.🥰
That just shows you even at his young impressionable age how aware and in-tune he was with his surroundings!
I never thought Skip Bayless would make me tear up. It goes to show that people have so many more layers than you might imagine.
I read this before watching and thought I’d be fine but right on queue man. Amazing story
Starting now, will comment again after!
@@Sinistatnt did you cry?
jit cried over skip 😂
@@freehec9660 You use “jit” in your vocabulary 😂😂😂
Stories like this are so breathtaking. I met a white guy who knew so much about my Jamaican culture and language, I was speechless. He is not from Jamaica but was taught a lot of things by a Jamaican lady who worked for his parents. Loves his jerk chicken and rice and peas. Awesome 😊
I am not Jamaican but I lived down the street from a Jamaican restaurant when I lived in New York City. I was eating that food ALL the time. Jamaican culture has exquisite cuisine. 🖤
This happens in some African countries too. Where nannies took care of white children like their own, pretty much have a strong bond with caregivers than their parents. Some parents were busy at work or not emotionally invested in parenting. So such duties were passed to the nanny. A lot of grown-up white people have that bond with their caregivers. Wish we could hear these testimonies more often.
@@AvecPoesie yes they do..and they embrace their African heritage alot
@@Me-kq8uv that's a fact right here in NYC I see those rich white kids super attached to their nannies..I see them kissing and jumping all over them😂...it's so funny to watch

Reminds me of The Shack.
Yea I would love to see the pictures
Being raised by my paternal grandparents was truly a blessing. I would do it all over again if I had to. Heart to Heart connection is what matters the color of our skin doesn't matter. It's truly a blessing to have that experience.
I always Loved Skip, but this video has definitely elevated him on another level!! We LOVE you Skip!!! 💯🖤🤜🏻🤛🏽
I can sense the admiration Skip has for Katiebell especially considering how his biological parents sort of left him out there. Katiebell WAS his mother. Very touching story Skip!
Wish more white men and women would share these stories that I’m sure can relate ❤️…thanks SKIP for the honesty and rawness
Now you know a lot of white men and women are not going to admit to that.
White Privilege means everything.

This experience has diversified my life and perspective and I am also empathetic to the plight of the Hispanic immigrant.
Thanks for this. My grandmother worked for a rich white family, and they loved her, and the kids remember her. Good to hear stories of life like this and how they impact us in a good way. Thanks for telling us.
Same here.
That's why Skip is so legit and you see with how he interacts with Shannon, Chris Brou, Snoop and Lil Wayne etc on Undisputed.
Especially, lil Wayne! The necklace 🤗
Legit what?
How did he act?
Those men hate BW
This story was a real tearjerker. Stories like this SHOULD be shared around the world
😢
I agree, the world needs more closed eyes and loving hearts .
I like how Skip not only believes she's still with him but talks like she is still here as well. 💛
10:00 Was something else. SKIP MY DUDE
Just seeing and listening 2 Skip talk racial issues let's me know his heart is huge. Shannon said Skip is the 1
This is YOUR story Skip - don't hold back trying to speak it, especially with such a powerful woman as a role model. There will be people who want to twist this, but they are the ones always seeking to twist. For the rest of us we honor your love towards "Katie Bell" and the influence she had on your life. We should all be lucky to have a person like Katie Bell in our lives, no matter what race. That type of commitment, love, respect, and genuine caring is what we all need. I, too was raised in a family that saw no color. My Dad was from the back hills of West Virginia in coal mining county where he said everyone is on equal footing and poor had no color barriers. I could go anywhere as a child or adult and feel right at home, and felt being raised that way was a blessing. I am sure Katie Bell is watching over you, and no doubt listing to you honoring her life. Stay blessed!!
Let me just say, I rarely watch Undisputed, but I have always noticed how genuine and comfortable Skip is when Shannon brings up race. He never seems forced and I really love his temperament. This explains alot. Thanks for sharing!
My god parents raised this white boy, he was in foster care, we were the same age. He’s just my brother now. It’s why I’ve never held prejudices or judged those who held them. This is a wonderful story and real. Stay blessed.
Love to hear that man. That would bring a tear to MLKs eyes knowing his dream is still alive. We are all brothers and sisters regardless of how different we look and that’s all that matters.
Calling him “white boy” is prejudice.

Man, my eyes sweatin!!! Not only was that a beautiful story, it was absolutely heartfelt. On so many levels Skip understands what being a human being having a human experience means. Love cannot be defined by color or ethnicity or any other line in the sand we draw. Love is. Period. Thank you for sharing your heart Skip. We all need this.

Skip, I understand. A story to break down the walls of perception. It’s a heart changing story. 🙏🏼
Wow, I have tears in my eyes. what a wonderful woman that came into your life. the messages from the other side are so amazing to get. So glad she came to you to tell you all good things.
I'm not really a sports fan so idk why it popped up, but I'm glad I watched. This was an honest love story, between a kid and his other mother. I'm glad that someone took him under their wing and made sure he was loved and cared for despite the situation. I know there a lot of "Katie-Bell's" out here. Kids are just kids. They need love, patience, discipline, and understanding. It takes a village to raise well rounded little one's. I'm glad he had that mother figure to help him along his way and shaped and molded him into the man he is today. That was a beautiful story. I truly hope she looked down from heaven and got to smile seeing this!! Thanks for sharing!!
Yeah she smiling at her lil baby grow’d up 👵
Yeah honestly Skip Bayless is so different in his podcast than his show. Some stories he said are so sad and uplifting. Definitely have enjoyed his show right now
She's listening Skip and she knows, this was wholesome & great.
This is the most beautiful tribute I have ever heard. I felt every bit of that and thank you Skip Bayless for sharing that piece of your life. God Bless.
This is what makes the internet worth it. You get to hear stories otherwise you would never heard. ❤️
As much as I dislike the internet you’re completely right
I love when Skip does these types of stories from his past. Even though I disagree with him a lot while watching undisputed, I can’t help but to still like and respect him. He’s truly a good guy and no one can take that way from him. Rip Katie Bell

@@curtiskeller7852 that’s a bot
No it’s not a bot. If you watch Undisputed then you know exactly what that “bot” is talking about
Exactly Skip has always been like this when it came to racial topics
Thank you Skip for sharing yourself with us. You made me cry with your incredible story. I have followed you for twenty years and you always keep it real.
I knew it was something about him the first time I came across him. Now it all comes together❤️
This brought a tear to my eye. Truly a beautiful story and heart
I teared up when skip almost teared up as well. You can really feel the love and compassion in his voice.
Impossible not to seriously
Yes, Skip told this story on Undisputed w/Shannon Sharpe.
It's truly amazing!
I believe Skip has a genuine heart!
me too!!
Awwwwwwwwwww that's so sweet 🧁🧁🧁🎂
I never get tired of hearing Skip talk about Katie Bell, he truly loved that woman. Salute 2 Skip 4 always wanting 2 address racial issues on Undisputed
I feel the respect and admiration for Katie Bell. I'm moved. The love is pouring out of him.
Skip, I can't help but let the tears flow. You're story about Katie Bell reminds me of my grandma. I called her momma. Only the Lord knows how much I miss that woman 🙌🏽💞 thank you God for letting me have at least one person to show me what unconditional love feels like. I don't know if I'll ever have that with another human being but I'm thankful that I did.
I love when white people tell these types of stories because the media loves focusing on the negative. Great story Skip. Thanks for sharing
True.
Soooo true the media wants us to be divide but Love conquers All🙌🏽🙌🏽My Grandmother raised other kids as well and they loved her dearly ❤️.. Thanks for being so transparent!!
Me too
I’m crying in my coffee. Katie Bell hears you, sees you, loved you and is very proud of you. I’m so glad you had her in your life
Literally no one:
Skip Bayless makes me cry on a random assed Saturday.
Never once felt any racist vibes from skip, my intuition doesn’t lie. He’s has that same warm, joyful vibe and passion as us 💕
Haha
I thought he was racist towards Floyd Mayweather…that was the ONLY time I thought he was racist. ONLY time.
🤔why
@@curtiskeller7852 he would say Mayweather was not a good boxer, was afraid, and just random negative lies about him- skill wise. It’s one thing to not like a man, but Mayweather’s craft is UNMATCHED and at least deserves respect from a man of Skip’s character…ya know
Fact... I felt it coming from him more then Steven A at times. People told me I was crazy.
Im 32 years old and I grew up watching Gunsmoke with my Grandma as a kid. Thank you for telling this story. I can tell how much she impacted your life.
Gunsmoke is still on the air as we speak
Walker Texas Ranger, Jag, as GMA says her westerns & her stories
Goosebumps & tears! Skip this is special. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏾🙏🏻
I was just scrolling and came across this video. Skip, you had me in tears! I was amazingly touched so much. I was listening to the story of my great/grandmother, Mamamie. What beautiful words, sentiments and emotions. So much respect for you man. Jesus. 🥲❤️🥲
You are so pretty Philinda🌹
Thanks
@@philindabell6292 so welcome my luv🙏🏿
It kills me how people couldn’t tell Skip was legit until moments like now. Long lIve Mr.Bayless !!!
Made me think he died
His a Shannon's relationship is zero to none unc only mess with real ones
@@EOTUBDB lmao, I need to stop writing while
I am under the influece
Facts the real been knew skip was one of us respectfully and to be honest me being a laker/kobe fan I always agreed with his LeBron takes 🤣🤣🤣 check the record tho he always partnered with blacks spreading the spot light, even let Steven A have first take!
@@jonathanalvarez8477 yup
Not going to lie when skip got chocked up at the end it brought a tear to my eye. That was a beautiful story. She clearly meant the world to him.
Diff year not a sad but like beautiful tear wow
How can you not love Skip. Even when he say something you do not agree with and irritated you. He's my guy.
Wow how powerful was that! I love to hear others tell their stories… When you can just love people it’s the best life you can love.
My only issue with this story is his view of equality and treating employees like family. This is an example with a healthy nuclear family. I wish I could find the link to a story I saw years ago about a family that had to let go of their full time nanny/housekeeper after a couple of years. It was because the father of the family grew to love her like family. He asked her what she really wanted for her life, she told him, and he helped her go to school and help pay for her college tuition so she could go full time. Truly loving her meant letting her go to fulfill her own dreams.
Wow! That is deep
Sounds like maybe his parents were not in a mindful position to even think about something like that. They couldn't even take care of their own children. Sad, but true.
@@bettyc.parker-young1437 Yeah, in Skip's case the employee was actually a respite from dysfunction for her charge (a child).
?!
My mom did the same thing in 3 different households during the week for a living. I definitely feel what he's saying.
Salute 2 Mom
This world needs more stories like this! I love these stories about wise people from the past generations who make an impact in the world 🌎
😭😭😭thank you for sharing this beautiful story!!! I am absolutely crying and sending much love listening to this. 💕
