So he got to keep the money?

Yeah but we needed something to complain about.

 

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

your faux militancy is pathetic.

It really is.

Man I thought this thread was gonna end up as a goose egg on my resume Coli came through and turns it into a multi page thread a day later



People tend to always find the negatives in things like this. It's always gonna be people questioning a person's motives when he showcases his good deed. I don't have a problem with it, at the end of the day the homeless man experienced a happiness he has not received in a long time. So good came out of it. Plus, it'll inspire others who see the video to do random acts of kindness. I don't think every action has to always have an interior objective. Maybe some people in this world just want to see others happy?

You people and your conspiracy theories.

For as much time as Black people spend in the media they have NO CLUE about the reality and power of propaganda. They can't seem to put two and two together. Yet they get shocked when a Black kid gets popped on the street and the talking heads on the news reference songs like "My N!gger" to justify it.

This video illustrates what many believe is the rightful place for Black people in our society. It's virility is a testament to that.

So what's the outrage about?

I clicked on the video expecting them embarrass and tell him it's a prank. The homeless man really did get money so what's the problem.

i probably shouldn't jump to conclusions from reading thread titles. switched my youtube dislike to a like.

we all make mistakes

I can't down with this prank

but he gave dude money.... still don't make it right.

Because you don't understand don't mean that he nice

Dead serious.

This video seems innocent enough but it's part of a YouTube phenomenon in which unsuspecting (usually poor) Black people are exploited for thrills and laughs in the name of "pranking." Some of these "pranks" border on violence and don't be surprised when they get there.

In 2014 "******" is becoming the acceptable term for Black people in public again. Black people are seen as walking targets for violence. CCW restrictions are being loosened even more. SYG laws essentially deputizes white gun owners. Police violence is becoming even more extreme. Black people are literally being shot for being Black and "disrespectful," key provisions in the Voting Rights act were repealed, etc.

Propaganda like this is just one part of the program. It aims at the young people and "liberals" that aren't so receptive to outright racism. But it serves the same purpose. It frames a very powerful image that isn't conducive to our survival.

I'm not saying that this is a coordinated effort by some puppet master behind the curtain but rather a social trend that's playing out right in our faces.

I'm sure if you would have told someone in the 90s that in 20 years it would be okay to call a Black person "******" to their face, that they are working to repeal the voting rights act and that there would be a legal debate whether or not you can take a Black person's life if you *feel* threatened I'm pretty sure they wouldn't believe you. But here we are.

Maybe you see my reaction to this as harsh but the reality is that Black people in America are being set up for a HUGE fall.

If you think things are crazy watch what happens after Obama leaves office. All this sh!t will go into overdrive.

Man, sit yo ass down.

Now this I can fukk with. He got enough money to get him out of his situation and get him a place to stay. If someone would offer him a job that would be the icing on the cake.




To all of you screaming about people looking for negatives, you're missing the bigger picture. Yeah he got the money, and for a few days he'll be better off than he has been in years, then he'll go back to being fukked up. His situation was taken advantage of for profit, the $1k was a small price to pay. Him getting to keep the money does not make it all good. If all or even half the money generated from the hits that video gets would go towards bettering his life and getting him out of that situation, then yeah I could fukk with it. The prankster keeping the profits leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth.

In 2014 the thing to do is exploit Black people on camera in the name of "pranking" for views and likes.

Do not support this fvckery.

Why do people have to be so mean and cruel? Does that guy really have nothing better to do with his time.

I saw one of these "pranking" videos that had a gang of white kids going through a Black neighborhood blaring police sirens at people. Outrageous sh!t. Only a few years before they start bombing churches again. Just watch.

Not to sound like a tinfoil hat wearing lunatic but we're getting set up for a purge. I can feel it.

I sorta don't like it. Basically in a sense because he never told him it was a prank. It should have been like.

"Dude, I have to tell you something. I have heard stories about you and how kind you were. I wanted to help you out, and give you a break in life. This $1,000 is for real, and it's yours."

I can't fukk with this video for the simple fact that he traded $1000 for millions of guaranteed likes/hits/views, which in return will earn him way more than the stack he just spent. Sure the homeless man got a quick come up, but he'll be back to being broke and fukked up within a few days while this video will be going viral and racking up $$ for that dude. It's just a play on emotions, both the guy and the viewers. The homeless guy's reaction was genuine, the prankster's motives weren't. Smart move, but I'd have preferred if it was genuine.

This is exactly what's wrong with society making fun of a person's unfortunate situation. If I was that dude I would of fukked his shyt up real talk you don't do shyt like this. Dude is fukking scum he'll get his tho Karma's a bytch.

this is not even real. its all acting brehs

i wonder how many takes it had to get for the homeless dude to get this right

nice little touch with the arab guy lifting his glasses to pretend he was crying

exploit the poor minorities for youtube views brehs

Yes. A dude gave a bum some money and filmed it.

It's not the worst thing I've seen but it's still yet another episode of poor Black people's reactions being exploited for Youtube views.

I can't down with this prank

but he gave dude money.... still don't make it right.

all of you are fukking idiots

this wasnt a prank

he did a good deed and helped out this guy cause the guy was nice

they looked out for him

these type of videos bring noteriety to the situation and usually benefits the homeless person

now im sure someone will make some type of fund me page

and will raise money to help this nice guy out of his situation

you nikkas slow as fukk
