When You Help A Disabled Person...

[Dad]

Do you ask for their permission first?

Example: on a crowded train and you see a blind person having difficulty maneuvering.

Is it better to ask, “excuse me, sir/ma’am, do you need help?

Or is it cool just to

Full disclosure: I just saw this blind guy flip out on this cac cuz she grabbed his arm and tried to guide him. Breh, started going in on how he’s a grown ass man and been manuevering through this world for 50 yrs. But his ass ain’t manuever quick enough to dodge them teenagers standing on the platform. The cac meant well but, I can definitely see where the brotha is coming from as well.

Ask them hey are you ok?


I was pushing a young breh in a wheelchair the other day...he was lost so I was walking alongside him as I showed him where he needed to go. Then I asked if he was good or wanted me to push

Dude was like "thanks breh my arms are tired as hell"

Always ask them first. It’s offensive to just assume...

shyt is a pain man. Hanging with him for like 15 mins was eye opening. Things we don't even think about is a whole process for them. You have to think about wheelchair access etc.

Never thought about asking that. Good point.

A lot of ppl need help man but they're just too prideful to ask strangers.
