My dads side of the family is a great example of why hitting kids as disipline doesn't exactly always work out but lets be honest.... when the teacher says "I'm gonna get you outta there" it always just means foster care, where the situation will most likely just end up worse. It's not like she is going to personally take him in and nurture him or something, she's just gonna pawn him off to some government entity where he can be surrounded by other kids that will no doubt slowly get their self esteem destroyed and act out.
The way white people talk about foster care reminds me of when parents tell their kid they’re dead dog is actually on some farm chasing butterflies. They don’t give a fuck about what happens afterwards bc foster care isn’t a real place to them just a made up idea of “freedom” with no care about what happens afterwards or the dangers. Should she hit her kid? No but there are more steps to take before stripping a child from everything he knows and loves to just make yourself feel better

As soon as his teacher said, “I’ll get you outta there”, I knew “Larry” was in trouble. “White saviors” often do things that make things WORSE for the black folks they think they’re helping. Larry found himself in his own “Get Out” storyline. Was it too easy for his mother to give him away? Not necessarily. For those of us who have seen CPS and social services in action, black women (and poor women of all ethnicities) are powerless against these people. Fighting them simply makes it worse. She erroneously believed her son called them, and her reaction harkens back to something some us heard growing up: “ If anyone ‘abuses’ you, tell someone.” That in turn led to kids telling their parents that they would call the police on them…which begat the parental response, “Well, I’ll help you pack your bags!” That was the response I got when I was a kid.

@@Pink_Anarchist 0:06 the fact she got called because he was dancing in class and he made him do some more dancing is to funny or the fact the grandpa just watch him do it and just the hit it part and how he just knows how to do it so nicely it’s almost like he made it the fact he don’t say anything is even funnier 0:14 that ay ay and hit it is to funny
To be fair, Educators are REQUIRED by law to report suspicious behavior of abuse, neglect, or other forms of mistreatment of student body. You do not need probable cause or reasonable suspicion. The assumption is, report first, find out later. The only thing the Teacher did wrong was project onto the students experience. If I saw my students treated in that regard inside of the school I would make the report also, not because I believe the mother is abusive, but because I care for my students well being. But as a side note, if you shame your kid like that and then get pissed and call others "nosey" because someone reported your ass, you're just pissed you got yourself inn trouble, that's on you, not the school or the student. Are those parents really disciplining their kids? Or are they projecting their own shit instead? Shame is, reportedly, not a great motivator for improvement.
The mum actually makes her son do the dance 😂😂. So glad that Glover wrote these realistic characters. We all know mums like this. Especially in Atlanta or the hood.
@@asanitheafrofuturist Yeah, I have had with these ratchet ass names. Like, what the hell do you gain from giving yo child a ghetto ass name that's potentially gone get them bullied, laughed at, in jail, rejected for a job & not taken seriously in society???
The way domestic abuse always gets a pass in the black community… It don’t matter if it’s Parent & child, romantic partners, family in general black folk always gotta act like it’s ok to treat each other like shit.
@@ii954 what are you talk about lol it’s obviously a difference between tough love in black community then white because I grew up fine getting my whoopins I just knew not to do shit again
@@detyyggkkll8052 whoopings to "discipline" your kids is objectively lazy at best and abusive at worst. Every study conducted has proven that it's not even remotely the best method of producing well behaved and productive adults. Kids who were whooped as kids often were the worst performing adults.
everybody acting like the mom is in the right is hilarious, this shit was a testament to how a lot of these young men are raised by mothers like this, the whole make your lid embarrass themselves as punishment thing that we've seen on social media, the willingness to give your child away to childcare services because you're having difficulty, no father in the house, slapping the kid in general but in public, and outdated way of discipline, everyone in this story was wrong and showed why these young men aren't being raised properly
Seriously it's like people can't fathom a scenario in which multiple people are making the wrong choices. It's a TV show. You do not have to pick a side. Just understand the story.
Lol, saying no father in the house but a black man would more than likely rock your brains out in front of the teacher. Then rock it again at home. The “no father in the home” story is getting ridiculous when two parent household produce the same bad child, although less likely.
@@solaris5922 Iron sharpens Iron. His mother won't be able to physically discipline him for the rest of his life unless he allows it. Women are not stronger than men.
I’m going to be honest with you guys, tough love isn’t when you call your kids slurs/pejoratives, humiliating, and slapping them because they goofed off in class. Having an underlying fear of your child dying to unfair circumstances doesn’t make it okay to teach them that by slapping them.
yea thats the point that the reaction to the slaps where the thing that almost got him killed the show isnt trying to be moralistic its just trying to get you to confront your ideological frameworks through what its showing you
@@dylanjulve5374 I already know what the scene is also pointing out. The teacher had no business thinking he was being abused or reporting. I just feel like a lot of people are blindly saying “oh it’s tough love” when it’s comes to the kids family. Its more acting out of fear and still not handling the situation in a mature way. Like I don’t blame the family intentions, but idk I guess my problem is at the end of it, that a kid has to go through the wringer for acting like a kid.
Yeah a lot of teachers can’t handle overly joyous kids sometimes. They can’t play along and redirect. Instead it’s “sit down and behave.” And if they don’t, like many kids, then it’s “this child has a problem.” My 4th grade teacher called my mom over to the school when I did the smallest shit. I would make all A’s (even when I crammed my homework right before turning it in) and was usually quiet. Once I finished the test early and started fixing my extremely thick hair (which broke its hair tie) and she yelled “This is math class or a beauty salon!?!?” Shamed me into going through the rest of the day with a popped ponytail. And still called my mom.
@@DeltaEagleWhiskey This reminds me of a time when I was in first grade. I was in art class and we were going to do a project I was really excited about. Being a young kid, I held my fists in the air and said yes. And it wasn't like class disrupting excitement, more like a whispering yes to myself like a silent victory. Next thing I heard was "Go sit outside, what do you think this is a Bulls game." To this day, I don't understand why it was that serious to the point where I had to sit outside. Sometimes I wonder if I cheered louder than I thought, but I know for a fact that even if I had yelled "Yes!" it didn't warrant me sitting outside the rest of the class, especially when I'm EXCITED to participate in your class. They could've just told me to calm down or bring it down a notch. I had to flip my card and explain to my mom why I had to flip it. Stupidest shit ever.
"I'm gonna get you out of there" and the parents were giving him- with verbiage that didn't need to be said at that place and time- straight facts🤣🤷🏾♂️
I gotta admit, that "do the Worm" bit had me laughing my ass off. This caused me to watch some documentaries on the Hart family. I highly recommend you do so. This might seem funny at first if you're unfamiliar with the episode, but the details surrounding it are a drawn-out nightmare scenario that nobody should ever go through, especially children.
That was the weakest triple smack I have ever seen in my life. That was so smooth it was more disrespectful than punitive. It was like a gentleman pimp slap. Look at the teacher, lol.
I started to notice the parallels very early that it was going to go into that direction. Absolutely terrible tragedy poor kids. Really genius writing on the team's part.
His mama was speaking facts tho! You making them laugh now but later yo ass gone be working on the corner,Burger king, or in jail and they gone be in college playing on a golf course in their spare time
@@DTreatz Crazy but true. Black kids face higher chances of disciplinary action in every state, especially in inner city schools. Black children are often sent to juvy for skipping school or not submitting homework. Dead serious, look it up.
@@MrJustonemorevoice It’ll surprise you just how many lefty democrats are racist. America’s race problem leaks even into its progressive circles. Notice how the black principal said he should be more respectful in class but it was the white counselor who brought up his previous detentions, tried to get out him in remedial classes and kept cutting off the principal.
Holy shit. I am a Muslim from India, and my parents gave me the exact same speech, and even worse beatings. If you're a Muslim, then it's pretty much guaranteed that you will end up a failure in life in India. The education system won't be forgiving towards your heritage or language, there is a huge amount of discrimination against you wherever you go, and the chances of some right-wing nut murdering you are very high, because it's highly likely that you live in a poor neighborhood where Nazis and mobs of your own religion will be out to terrorize you. The only way to succeed in life is to be so good at what you do, they have no choice but to accept you, sure you will be a slave to people who would have otherwise hired an average Hindu dude unless you were highly qualified, but it's better than being six feet under. I never feared my parents, but feared the reality of the neighborhood that I grew up in.
dude i am sorry you gotta go throught all that. i never thought india was so backward until i saw this video of this muslim college girl being harassed by some mob savages just cause she was wearing hijab smfh
Dude cut down a lil bit on ur fake corny sob story. Muslims in India have never suffered nearly half as much as African-Americans in their entire history and have received appeasement from every political party since the first independence day.
@@lxsx2 There is no excuse for emotional abuse. I had that done to me with the justification that its what my parents ensured so I'll be fine. When a parent suffers abuse, Be it emotional or physical, and then they inflict that same abuse on their child... They have failed as a parent. Its our job to be there and do better than our parents did. We might be products of our environment, But that doesn't mean we can't do better than our parents.
@@NativeTexMexicanOh lord I can’t stand when you mayonnaise people watch these clips out of context and cry about them. You’re no different then the teacher fake white tears acting like you’re “saving” someone. That mom spit the hard cold truth about being black in this racisr country

@@Despair505 maybe I’m being dramatic but it’s a meta comment on the real life event and why the real people involved in the hart family murders (that the episode was based off of) weren’t stopped from doing these horrible things from any police, institution or just the people around them.
That last line hit hard. Considering what happens after why did the teacher think that THIS was abuse that he needed to be saved from, compared to the hell he was put through.
@@glitbow7630 there’s literal studies and research done about how physical “discipline” stunts the emotional and mental growth of a child. And there are other ways to discipline a child without physically hurting them
Part of me has a theory that this all happened to Earnest as a kid, considering that this whole episode turns out to be a dream. He went into foster care briefly, nearly got killed by the couple he was staying with, and then got sent back home.

This scene was so shocking.. Mother making his child to dance as punishment... that I forgot the funny side of it till I watched it agai .. just mesmerized. Lol.
Some of this episode confused me. Like I totally get there was a statement on white saviorism, but like, here, idk, of course the counselor was concerned. The kid got slapped. And mom was speaking straight facts that he needed to hear, but the way they did it did come across as pretty cruel and unusual.
Not everything in a show needs to be right 🤷♀️ we can take the good lessons but still shake our head at the bad. It’s not promoting hitting kids but more so showing that realistic side
It exposes many who’ve talked negatively about many aspects of the old school black family. Not endorsing all it shows but trying to get people to understand it’s relevance.

@@Pink_Anarchist 0:06 the fact she got called because he was dancing in class and he made him do some more dancing is to funny or the fact the grandpa just watch him do it and just the hit it part and how he just knows how to do it so nicely it’s almost like he made it the fact he don’t say anything is even funnier 0:14 that ay ay and hit it is to funny
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂she made a example and spoke Facts but that shit funny "ayee ayee ayee"
0:21 very good forshaddowing. They disguised it well in how much was going on in the scene. Leaned right into the inciting incident. Well done!
To be fair, Educators are REQUIRED by law to report suspicious behavior of abuse, neglect, or other forms of mistreatment of student body. You do not need probable cause or reasonable suspicion. The assumption is, report first, find out later. The only thing the Teacher did wrong was project onto the students experience. If I saw my students treated in that regard inside of the school I would make the report also, not because I believe the mother is abusive, but because I care for my students well being.
But as a side note, if you shame your kid like that and then get pissed and call others "nosey" because someone reported your ass, you're just pissed you got yourself inn trouble, that's on you, not the school or the student. Are those parents really disciplining their kids? Or are they projecting their own shit instead? Shame is, reportedly, not a great motivator for improvement.
all these victims in denial be like: i hate when teachers and neighbors report parents for being their children on the head with a chair
Bingo. Exactly!!!
This a white comment huh

That was the lightest slap I’ve ever seen, sounded like my dog drinking water
She looked through her soul when the mama turned around and looked at the teacher 😂
seeing everyone in the comments here trying so hard to justify some pretty extreme emotional abuse is pretty fucked up
People don’t wanna admit they got abused too
The way domestic abuse always gets a pass in the black community… It don’t matter if it’s Parent & child, romantic partners, family in general black folk always gotta act like it’s ok to treat each other like shit.
@@ii954 what are you talk about lol it’s obviously a difference between tough love in black community then white because I grew up fine getting my whoopins I just knew not to do shit again
@@TheGeorgeD13 that’s not abuse it’s tough love black kids grow up fine w whoopings it’s discipline
@@detyyggkkll8052 whoopings to "discipline" your kids is objectively lazy at best and abusive at worst. Every study conducted has proven that it's not even remotely the best method of producing well behaved and productive adults.
Kids who were whooped as kids often were the worst performing adults.

i was wondering why he slapped him like that lol
everybody acting like the mom is in the right is hilarious, this shit was a testament to how a lot of these young men are raised by mothers like this, the whole make your lid embarrass themselves as punishment thing that we've seen on social media, the willingness to give your child away to childcare services because you're having difficulty, no father in the house, slapping the kid in general but in public, and outdated way of discipline, everyone in this story was wrong and showed why these young men aren't being raised properly
Seriously it's like people can't fathom a scenario in which multiple people are making the wrong choices.
It's a TV show. You do not have to pick a side. Just understand the story.
Lol, saying no father in the house but a black man would more than likely rock your brains out in front of the teacher. Then rock it again at home. The “no father in the home” story is getting ridiculous when two parent household produce the same bad child, although less likely.
@@solaris5922 So you're saying black men make abusive and naive fathers essentially? Because that's literally what you just said.
And you see how everybody justifies it?. Women cry tears. Men cry bullets
@@solaris5922 Iron sharpens Iron. His mother won't be able to physically discipline him for the rest of his life unless he allows it. Women are not stronger than men.
I’m going to be honest with you guys, tough love isn’t when you call your kids slurs/pejoratives, humiliating, and slapping them because they goofed off in class. Having an underlying fear of your child dying to unfair circumstances doesn’t make it okay to teach them that by slapping them.
yea thats the point that the reaction to the slaps where the thing that almost got him killed the show isnt trying to be moralistic its just trying to get you to confront your ideological frameworks through what its showing you
the thing puts the kid in danger is reaction itself research the term reactionary.
@@dylanjulve5374 I already know what the scene is also pointing out. The teacher had no business thinking he was being abused or reporting.
I just feel like a lot of people are blindly saying “oh it’s tough love” when it’s comes to the kids family. Its more acting out of fear and still not handling the situation in a mature way. Like I don’t blame the family intentions, but
idk I guess my problem is at the end of it, that a kid has to go through the wringer for acting like a kid.
People who suffer from stockholm syndrome be like: “Well your parents were just soft”
@@Rin-jz4ul that happens to black kids alot tho, they go through it just for being kids
I love how quiet reviews and demand are for this season as its right in the face of America with a pistol.
That was one of the funniest part hahaha
I felt so bad for the kid. He was just being happy after hearing some good news.
Tbh if my teacher told me we were all gonna go see Black Panther 2 I'd do the same thing
That's fine. You still need to listen to directions though. If you don't, shit will happen. As a kid, you get a smack. As an adult, you get shot.
Yeah a lot of teachers can’t handle overly joyous kids sometimes. They can’t play along and redirect. Instead it’s “sit down and behave.” And if they don’t, like many kids, then it’s “this child has a problem.”
My 4th grade teacher called my mom over to the school when I did the smallest shit. I would make all A’s (even when I crammed my homework right before turning it in) and was usually quiet. Once I finished the test early and started fixing my extremely thick hair (which broke its hair tie) and she yelled “This is math class or a beauty salon!?!?” Shamed me into going through the rest of the day with a popped ponytail. And still called my mom.
@@DeltaEagleWhiskey This reminds me of a time when I was in first grade. I was in art class and we were going to do a project I was really excited about. Being a young kid, I held my fists in the air and said yes. And it wasn't like class disrupting excitement, more like a whispering yes to myself like a silent victory. Next thing I heard was "Go sit outside, what do you think this is a Bulls game." To this day, I don't understand why it was that serious to the point where I had to sit outside. Sometimes I wonder if I cheered louder than I thought, but I know for a fact that even if I had yelled "Yes!" it didn't warrant me sitting outside the rest of the class, especially when I'm EXCITED to participate in your class. They could've just told me to calm down or bring it down a notch. I had to flip my card and explain to my mom why I had to flip it. Stupidest shit ever.
@🌙Nostalgia Jones🔮 His mom isn't the best mom, but she's a hell of a lot better than his foster parents.
"I'm gonna get you out of there" and the parents were giving him- with verbiage that didn't need to be said at that place and time- straight facts🤣🤷🏾♂️
I gotta admit, that "do the Worm" bit had me laughing my ass off.
This caused me to watch some documentaries on the Hart family. I highly recommend you do so.
This might seem funny at first if you're unfamiliar with the episode, but the details surrounding it are a drawn-out nightmare scenario that nobody should ever go through, especially children.
That was the weakest triple smack I have ever seen in my life. That was so smooth it was more disrespectful than punitive. It was like a gentleman pimp slap.
Look at the teacher, lol.
When I watched this episode it hella confused me until I realized that it was close to a real story about the HART FAMILY
I started to notice the parallels very early that it was going to go into that direction. Absolutely terrible tragedy poor kids. Really genius writing on the team's part.
that triple slap must be a reference to that viral video from a few years back lmfao
“Aye aye aye HIT IT” I’m in tears 😂😭😭😭😭😭
That Nae Nae dance was dope tho no cap 🧢

hyperbole if I've ever seen it 🙄
@@DTreatz hyperbole? You MF,social inequality is VERY real.
@@DTreatz Crazy but true. Black kids face higher chances of disciplinary action in every state, especially in inner city schools. Black children are often sent to juvy for skipping school or not submitting homework. Dead serious, look it up.
@@melissa.tmordi7767 So you want me to believe that all the teachers (Who are almost always lefty democrats) are all racist? Including the black ones?
@@MrJustonemorevoice It’ll surprise you just how many lefty democrats are racist. America’s race problem leaks even into its progressive circles. Notice how the black principal said he should be more respectful in class but it was the white counselor who brought up his previous detentions, tried to get out him in remedial classes and kept cutting off the principal.
The white saviour mentality at the end😂
Mom was right.
😂😂😂 we need more black parents like this.

Holy shit. I am a Muslim from India, and my parents gave me the exact same speech, and even worse beatings. If you're a Muslim, then it's pretty much guaranteed that you will end up a failure in life in India. The education system won't be forgiving towards your heritage or language, there is a huge amount of discrimination against you wherever you go, and the chances of some right-wing nut murdering you are very high, because it's highly likely that you live in a poor neighborhood where Nazis and mobs of your own religion will be out to terrorize you. The only way to succeed in life is to be so good at what you do, they have no choice but to accept you, sure you will be a slave to people who would have otherwise hired an average Hindu dude unless you were highly qualified, but it's better than being six feet under. I never feared my parents, but feared the reality of the neighborhood that I grew up in.
Maybe you’d like Dearborn, Michigan. Biggest Muslim community in America. I am sorry for the hell that is India for Muslims.
Nazi indians?
dude i am sorry you gotta go throught all that. i never thought india was so backward until i saw this video of this muslim college girl being harassed by some mob savages just cause she was wearing hijab smfh
WTF you talking about... Muslims are anti woman and anti gay, wouldn’t right wingers love them.
Dude cut down a lil bit on ur fake corny sob story. Muslims in India have never suffered nearly half as much as African-Americans in their entire history and have received appeasement from every political party since the first independence day.

Every kid deserves a parent, But not every parent deserves a child.
I think you’ve missed the actual point of that episode.
@@lxsx2 There is no excuse for emotional abuse. I had that done to me with the justification that its what my parents ensured so I'll be fine. When a parent suffers abuse, Be it emotional or physical, and then they inflict that same abuse on their child... They have failed as a parent. Its our job to be there and do better than our parents did. We might be products of our environment, But that doesn't mean we can't do better than our parents.

Some of this episode confused me. Like I totally get there was a statement on white saviorism, but like, here, idk, of course the counselor was concerned. The kid got slapped. And mom was speaking straight facts that he needed to hear, but the way they did it did come across as pretty cruel and unusual.
Not everything in a show needs to be right 🤷♀️ we can take the good lessons but still shake our head at the bad. It’s not promoting hitting kids but more so showing that realistic side
well yeah white folk are no longer allowed to interact with black folk apparently lmfao. Everything needs a title
something comedic about that gentle slappy slaps idk what it is lol, like I can almost feel it
I’m sorry but good parenting
It exposes many who’ve talked negatively about many aspects of the old school black family. Not endorsing all it shows but trying to get people to understand it’s relevance.
