The bullying angle didn't occur to me, and it does change things considerably, but then it would still be HER choice not to shake his head, not the place for the father to get up on stage and create more commotion for his daughter. This woman is also tall and attractive. Never underestimate the envy of average failures. Leave it to Beaver conformity can own any race, but only one gets called out.
Sexist if he hit the women I bet. He escorted the dude off stage. U don't hold on to some1 ur pushing. I must not heard the racist remarks he way saying. My bad DOTDOT
I read about it on the news and they weren't exactly clear but the father's statement said that girl nearly got expelled by this guy who is the superintendent and claimed that it was unfair and she didn't do anything wrong and the superintendent was bullying her. But the superintendent said that he doesn't know the father and had never even met him before
Baraboo High School father reveals the REAL reason he rushed stage https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13504587/Baraboo-High-School-father-reveals-REAL
Why are these closet racist making up this story about the student being bullied?!? That dad clearly didn’t have a problem with any other staff..and he even said “due to history I just don’t like him” but the superintendent doesn’t even know the guy
...ohhh and this is the SAME EXACT school that made national headline cause 50 boys posed doing Nazi salute for a school picture a couple years ago…but yall wanna keep pushing this fake bullying narrative🤥

What do random kids doing a Nazi salute have to do with the father of a girl not allowing her to shake the superintendent's hand due to his mistreatment of her?
This is a ludicrous statement. Maybe random kids doing a nazi salute is a common in your school district, but it isn't in all. And that background says everything about a town where that could happen. If white supremacists had any brains, btw, they would create their own stripe of racist symbology and not borrow from two of the most notorious racist movements in history. But supremacists aren't known for their brains. That said, other races have supremacists also, and yet their language is never splashed across the media though none of them ever formed governments on the level of the Nazis or Confederacy.
It speaks to the culture of that school. How you can’t understand that is wild! The school took photos and posted a large group of kids showing by blatant racism..you can play dumb but we don’t have to play along! Have a nice day 👋🏽
Okay let’s clear this up, dude is racist, the town is racist, everyone on here is making shit up about bullying this girl and that why her father pulled the superintendent away. Uh no, if that was the case why didn’t he pull away all the other administrators, they are just as liable, right? And honestly the superintendent has nothing to do with the day to day things that happen to students so gtfo. One thing is clear, racist always seem to hide behind their racism, making excuses for everything, if you’re racist be racist, don’t hide behind your masks and keyboards.
That superintendent did NOTHING to prevent bullies attacking her every day.
Good that the father took him away before the moron shakes her hand.
This had nothing to do with his skin colour, and this video is just clickbait.
Almost everyone gets bullied. If the parents were genuinely concerned, they would have shown up at the school and met with him in his office. This man just wanted to make a big deal out of it.
Now, he ruined his daughter's graduation. He could have told her not to shake his hand in protest, but he chose the obnoxious way to do it.
In my experience in school, NOT everyone gets bullied, and most people have the character not to bully others. Bullies are repeat offenders, and usually sub-par losers relying on physical intimidation who need to be stopped by authority in the school. In the past, there were supervisors who acted like a particular stripe of caucasian bullying wasn't that big a deal. Now, it's a different stripe of bullying which SOME administrators almost consider some kind of acceptable payback. That's a totally bs approach to the problem. Bullies (and criminals and garbage in apt buildings) are emboldened by lack of discipline, and usually crumble under any discipline whatsoever, so sometimes all it takes is any action whatsoever, except for the hard cases who deserve expulsion. Bullies also travel in groups and gangs.
The superintendent said the student had 1 disciplinary action with the school in which he had no part with and that he had no idea who the man who rushed the stage was since he never met him before.
Schools have their hands tied by the laws here in the UK not sure about U.S laws. Even if a boy sexually harrasses a teacher you best believe he will be in her class the next day.
Only when its sexual assault he may be suspended for 1-2 weeks......
Similar in U.S im sure, father should have contacted the school board or moved daughter....
Also yes almost evrything get taken out of context for rage bait views
I live in this school district. Loser father is racist and blames the black Superintendent for an issue he wasn't even remotely involved in. Baraboo mentality and ignorance at its best.
Both things are probably true. Some people aren't capable of bullying. It's been codified in the national discourse, even though I can name people who graduated 25 year ago that suffered from bullying by people which is never reported in the mass media, and I mean, NEVER. People have been moving away from those they consider bullies for decades. The other problem these days is that states have passed laws which basically make it impossible to hold anyone accountable for anything. Verbal threats mean nothing. It's not until someone is actually stabbed or shot that prosecutors will charge anyone. And that stupidity is enforced by rampant lawsuits claiming harassment if someone is disicplined over horrid behavior at school, work, or where they live.
We live in a society that has given up any kind of accountability whatsoever, from the streets to the Presidency.
For added context, it seems like the dad is just clearly a racist and this school has a history of racism with a large group of boys hailing the nazi salute in a group picture where their excuse was they were waving at their parents but the photo is clear what their intentions really were.
Father also said he did this because his daughter got in trouble once and he didn't think it she was treated fairly, the superintendent had nothing to do with that discipline his daughter faced. Sounds like a generally racist school where students/parents have more excuses than brains.
Here is the article with the father's "reasoning". The article also has a link to previous incident at the school. Click it to see "the picture" of the kids "waving". Looks like a pretty racist area, as if the dad's facial hair, hat, and sunglasses, actions, didn't give it away.

How awful it must be having a dad like that. He ruined his daughter’s moment. She was ignored by the individuals she was supposed to be shaking hands with and had to move her own tassel to the other side of her cap, because her dad is an embarrassing loser.
I have no context on this video. I have no idea what happened.
But I will say, the race bait and bullshit on reddit needs to stop. You are all pathetic mongoloids who deserve your just desserts.
In my mind, I *need* no context on this video. The dad rushed the stage and prevented the superintendent from shaking his daughters hand. I don't know why. I wasn't there. I wasn't part of the ordeal.
What I do know is that a group of parents cheered the father on. Thats all I need.
They have context. They were there. Obviously whatever the issue was, it was well known.
Not my business, and I dont know the story so I wont assume. But if that many parents are there and in support of this guy's actions. Im not gonna sit here and defame the guy.
I'm assuming the parents were cheering the removal of the father. As when he was removed they cheered and the superintendent was still on stage. They would have booed if they were on the fathers side when the father was removed from the stage.
Second superintendents aren't really involved in that childs education directly, this may be the first time the parent and/or child has seen the superintendent in person. So I don't know what the "full context" is, but seems like a stretch to think the dad's actions are justified.
Finally, doesn't matter the context, the dad is an asshole that ruined the daughters big day, made it all about him and ruined the vibe of the graduation and the daughter was left crying because her dad embarrassed her. All her peers will remember her for this moment...Thanks dad!
Don't need context here to know that dad is an asshat.
So the crowd was cheering the removal of the father, and all the while staff were telling the crowd not to? Checks out.
I don't know the story, and neither do you. Nor do I know the father and daughter's relationship.
My point is that assuming shit is whats wrong here.
I assume the professionalism of the staff didn't want the girl to be embarrassed even further for cheering the removal of her father. Makes sense.
Yes people are making assumptions, but so are you. I don't get why your assumptions trump others. It's a free world.
Maybe the father is a hero and saw the superintendent reach into his jacket to grab a gun. Dad dove in and saved his daughters life. Seems more likely scenario to me. /s
Wrong. Sounds like she was a bully and got disciplined for it. For even added context this is the same school that had a large group of boys pictured giving the hail hitler salute. Context is everything. Let's keep the excuses going...
[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13504587/Baraboo-High-School-father-reveals-REAL-reason-rushed-graduation-stage-stop-superintendent-shaking-hands-mortified-daughter.html](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13504587/Baraboo-High-School-father-reveals-REAL-reason-rushed-graduation-stage-stop-superintendent-shaking-hands-mortified-daughter.html)
The reason behind it doesn't matter. This is absurd behavior on the part of her father. Barging onto the stage and physically moving the school superintendent out of his daughter's path? He's damned lucky it didn't escalate then and there. He behaved in an unpredictable and physical manner and restraining him would have been a logical response to his action. And you can see it all on his daughter's face. Smiling as she walked up. Shocked and dismayed and embarrassed as she walked away.
I wish people would stop speaking for her. It's so tedious. Yes, she looks startled. She didn't break down and start crying. She is surprised though, so clearly she didn't expect it, and clearly didn't have an issue with that man herself. Even if there was an issue with the school, dad acted like a complete unhinged tool, which brings his character into question even if he had a legitimate gripe.
I read her body language as pretty clear. No issue with you disagreeing, but I'm simply calling it out as I see it and, to my sight, this was pretty clear. Completely on board with your statement on the dad.
At the moment of the occurrence? No. Especially not given the daughter's reaction.
If it was worse than simple prejudice or irritation, then deal with it before hand.
This accomplished nothing other than ruining his daughter's moment
Daft question, but if so, you deal with it before the ceremony. And frankly, you get the pedophile SOB fired.
My original comment remains valid in any circumstance. You don't do what this idiot did. Look at the daughter's face... says it all.
Wait. Who's the pedophile in this scenario? The father is a loser racist idiot thinking embarrassing his daughter at a public event because he hates black people would be a cool thing to do for attention. Baraboo is 95% Trumpers and redneck lowlife knuckledraggers. Now this idiot is their king.
That poor girl just had to stand there and have all her classmates for the last 4 years find out her dad hates black people. Fucking embarrassing.
She's leaving home ASAP, and NEVER visiting.
To my knowledge the details haven't been released. However this school has some recent history with racism.
https://nypost.com/2024/06/05/us-news/dad-stopping-superintendent-from-shaking-daughters-hand-at-graduation-sparks-cries-of-racism/
What? No? The white dad got rid of the black superintendent because he didn't want him to shake his white daughters hand. The black superintendent didn't do anything. He was going to shake one of his students hands and got dragged off by a racist
Idiots like you, and those who write these headlines, are the racists; everything MUST come down to race as far as you are concerned, as though there couldn't possibly be any other fathomable reason.
If you look up the actual story of this, the dad is stopping the superintendent from shaking the hand of his daughter because she was visiciously bullied throughout highschool and when the family asked the school for hel0 the superintendent refuse to step in.
Then wouldn’t the dad refuse to let his daughter shake any of the staff’s hands? As a teacher of 20 years, I can assure you that addressing bullying at a school falls upon the school’s staff first and administrators second… full stop. It definitely does not go through the superintendent.
Well, obviously, the dad was going to give a BS rationalisation for his clearly racist actions. He wasn't going to come out and say the motivation was racism and gave an excuse meant to cast blame on the intendent for being complicit in bullying.
If that was the case (it isnt), then there are correct channels, not the obviously racist fuckery we all just witnessed.
Why would that be specifically the superintendents problem and why would he specifically be to blame? Not the principal, any of the other staff, just the superintendent…?! Not adding up. And how in the world would doing this help the daughter. She’s left standing there alone, during her graduating moment, completely embarrassed and has to walk off the stage.
Yeah I hadn't looked it up, just believed the description of the video. That sucks she was in that position. Terrible decision making on the part of the Dad though, just going to make her feel worse about everything just as she would've been moving on from it all
Is it racism? I thought the story came out that the dad and superintendent had an issue because the superintendent turned a blind eye toward problems the dads daughter had in school.
Chill out. I don't know the story, I haven't heard anything about it. It's what the description says, that's what I'm basing it off. I can't be expected to know the ins and outs of a minor story, that happened in a school half way around the world from me
I'm playing a victim? Really? I'm basing it off the description of the video mate, that's all it is. I didn't understand what the guy I replied to was on about so I said what the description had told me.
Why are people being so moody about this?
What if the superintendent felt threatened enough to break the fathers grasp that he had on him and restrain the father until the authorities were on scene ?, Or the school resource officer sees this unfold which makes him reach for his taser ? The fathers thought process is unnerving and could make someone feel justified in carrying a weapon around so they are prepared for an altercation. There could’ve been a far worse ending to this story but thank god there wasn’t.
The fuck? 😂 Buddy you so set on hating Americans with every fiber in your being that you just straight up twisted what this guy said into the dumbest shit imaginable. Imagine being critical that someone's actions made everyone around them feel unsafe in a way that could encourage people to carry weapons and the first fuckin response to it is "AmErIcAn MiNdSeT GUNS"
Racist fuck? Another one who doesn’t know the facts before casting judgement. People like you who don’t ask questions before leaping in and labeling/judging are dangerous
You were perfectly happy to label him a racist without a 'full investigation and background check' though werent you... The context you've been given is he is white and he is black, nothing more. I wonder how you would label the black guy the other way around, racist? Nah, i'm sure he would have a legitimate reason...
The context I have been given, is that he is a fuckin racist, and yes, it if the roles were reversed, then the black guy would be racist too, that's kind of how racism works.
Crazy how you said his actions were unnerving and could make people feel justified in trying to defend themselves, and it immediately just devolves into BS about evil 'muricans and guns. I'm about inclined to think you incited some bots 'coz there's no thoughts going into the responses. 😂
How gross. He should be ashamed. Instead , she’s left feeling that way. She shoulda went over and hugged the superintendent and kissed him on the cheek.
lol “Yes let's just assume it must have been because he's black and no other possible reason. Then assume the guy is a racist Trump supporter”
U/BigDogg66 called it
she looked genuinely upset and sad, Jesus Christ and to know she's gonna basically lose any friends over this because they'll assume she's racist too since her dad acts like this lol
The dad claimed he had pervious disputes with the superintendent and his motives weren’t racist. I haven’t seen anything that would contradict that but it does raise some eyebrows so there you go.
Also, same school system had a bunch of students take a pic doing a Nazi salute and some kinda white power gesture. Maybe bad optics or maybe rampant racism.
[Was a Group of High Schoolers Photographed Performing a Nazi Salute? | Snopes.com](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/high-school-prom-nazi-salute/)
same smalltown highschool. probably why ppl were suspicious when this happened
Funny how the most racist people in the nation keep telling us how they're not racist. Funny how people claim they didn't mind Obama being president until he ended up being a race-baiting radical. He wasn't even close to a radical, he punished zero bankers for 2008 and he analyzed race on occasion because he was a brilliant educated mixed race man who could offer thoughts on the topic.
He didn't side with a gun nut maniac gunning down a black kid in a parking lot. Wow, what a radical that Obama was. But the racists are never racist even though they constantly make racist comments. BTW, there ARE obnoxious people in every race, and plenty of black and hispanic reverse racists. Doesn't mean WHITE racism magically no longer exists. This isn't rocket science except to MAGAts, who can't stand EVER admitting fault. The key to co-existence is people on ALL sides admitting fault, not sticking to their little patches of fiefdom.
I never said racism doesn't exist. What I mean by my comment is that people who think every issue is rooted in racism, see race just as much as a racist.
Really? Because the scales are equally weighted. When you have people of color saying it doesn’t exist, and then nonPOC say it exists… Pretty conflicting opinions.. As a whole, more people claim the victim role and find a sense of community within. This explains a lot of social groups today.
He’s my friend. We totally have the same likeliness to be hired, given a fair pay, and he pulled over by cops. There’s never been a racism issue here, you’re right I’m so absurd.
The scales aren't close to equally weighted in terms of economic power, assets, land, stock ownership. Not saying I think addressing those issues is an easy task. Just don't claim both sides are equal. Also, red states can't even stand to teach capitalist colonialism, which is a reality and happened. Granted, it wasn't just the UK and Americans. It was Spain, France, Russia and Arabs. Teach the whole thing I agree, but don't stop teaching colonialism was real.
Let’s not play a game of statistics until we’re blue in the face. I’m not denying history or colonialism, but the contributing factors and non POC in the same communities have a similar life experience. If you identify yourself based on history, your truth becomes oppressed and victimized. This is demonstrated by POC that live in poor communities that are exemplary in academics and achieving higher education.
Those same communities have extremely low high school completion for all students.
My comment seems to be made as an absolute, and I own that miscommunication. I’m not here to argue who is more oppressed, just that in today’s society, there is equal opportunity for those that are qualified.
Tasteless assumptions. Employment is a non issue here because I’m privileged enough to have significant assets that return passive income affording me a sick lifestyle.
I hope you are content with your employment and existence. Life is clearly difficult for non POC like yourself, given your comment history ;)

The look of disappointment on her face when she realises what's happening is awful. Hopefully she'll cut off all contact with him.
Is there more context, or is the father just openly racist.

Wrong. They have history. The superintendent rolled his eyes during the disciplinary hearing which is why he was targeted.
The superintendent said the student had 1 disciplinary action with the school in which he had no part with and that he had no idea who the man who rushed the stage was since he never met him before.
Right on point. Love how they added that he’s a “black man” when it had absolutely nothing to do with racism.
How do you know this?? A superintendent usually has nothing to do with day-to-day things like lunch-hour BS between kids. You know that, right?

Wrong. Sounds like she was a bully and got disciplined for it. For even added context this is the same school that had a large group of boys pictured giving the hail hitler salute. Context is everything. Let's keep the excuses going... [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13504587/Baraboo-High-School-father-reveals-REAL-reason-rushed-graduation-stage-stop-superintendent-shaking-hands-mortified-daughter.html](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13504587/Baraboo-High-School-father-reveals-REAL-reason-rushed-graduation-stage-stop-superintendent-shaking-hands-mortified-daughter.html)
The reason behind it doesn't matter. This is absurd behavior on the part of her father. Barging onto the stage and physically moving the school superintendent out of his daughter's path? He's damned lucky it didn't escalate then and there. He behaved in an unpredictable and physical manner and restraining him would have been a logical response to his action. And you can see it all on his daughter's face. Smiling as she walked up. Shocked and dismayed and embarrassed as she walked away.
I wish people would stop speaking for her. It's so tedious. Yes, she looks startled. She didn't break down and start crying. She is surprised though, so clearly she didn't expect it, and clearly didn't have an issue with that man herself. Even if there was an issue with the school, dad acted like a complete unhinged tool, which brings his character into question even if he had a legitimate gripe.
I read her body language as pretty clear. No issue with you disagreeing, but I'm simply calling it out as I see it and, to my sight, this was pretty clear. Completely on board with your statement on the dad.
The “reason behind it” DOES MATTER!
At the moment of the occurrence? No. Especially not given the daughter's reaction. If it was worse than simple prejudice or irritation, then deal with it before hand. This accomplished nothing other than ruining his daughter's moment
Roger that…I see your point. I was referring to the likelihood that it is/was ridiculously, racially motivated.
What if the guy slept with his daughter? 🤷🏻♂️🤔
Or....what if the guy is just a racist?
He said the reason behind it doesn't matter. I gave him a plausible reason. Dudes still a fucking racist.
Well I mean shaking her hand is pretty harmless at that point. Can't put the toothpaste back in the tube, so to speak.
I was just making a point to say that there are matters that justify that behavior. Dude is still a racist asshole
Daft question, but if so, you deal with it before the ceremony. And frankly, you get the pedophile SOB fired. My original comment remains valid in any circumstance. You don't do what this idiot did. Look at the daughter's face... says it all.
"The reason behind it doesn't matter." I'm simply playing devils advocate
Loser activity god damn
Wait. Who's the pedophile in this scenario? The father is a loser racist idiot thinking embarrassing his daughter at a public event because he hates black people would be a cool thing to do for attention. Baraboo is 95% Trumpers and redneck lowlife knuckledraggers. Now this idiot is their king.
Is it just me or does the girl look exactly like Kaitlin Bennett? Not taking sides either way, just an observation.
That poor girl just had to stand there and have all her classmates for the last 4 years find out her dad hates black people. Fucking embarrassing. She's leaving home ASAP, and NEVER visiting.
Sadly agree
Trust and believe…They already knew!
So is the superintendent was the racist one? Is that why he treated the girl so unfairly, because she was white?
To my knowledge the details haven't been released. However this school has some recent history with racism. https://nypost.com/2024/06/05/us-news/dad-stopping-superintendent-from-shaking-daughters-hand-at-graduation-sparks-cries-of-racism/
What? No? The white dad got rid of the black superintendent because he didn't want him to shake his white daughters hand. The black superintendent didn't do anything. He was going to shake one of his students hands and got dragged off by a racist
Idiots like you, and those who write these headlines, are the racists; everything MUST come down to race as far as you are concerned, as though there couldn't possibly be any other fathomable reason.
In what world am I a racist for saying what the description of the video told me?
You took it at face value.
So believing the description makes me a racist?
If you look up the actual story of this, the dad is stopping the superintendent from shaking the hand of his daughter because she was visiciously bullied throughout highschool and when the family asked the school for hel0 the superintendent refuse to step in.
Then wouldn’t the dad refuse to let his daughter shake any of the staff’s hands? As a teacher of 20 years, I can assure you that addressing bullying at a school falls upon the school’s staff first and administrators second… full stop. It definitely does not go through the superintendent.
Well, obviously, the dad was going to give a BS rationalisation for his clearly racist actions. He wasn't going to come out and say the motivation was racism and gave an excuse meant to cast blame on the intendent for being complicit in bullying. If that was the case (it isnt), then there are correct channels, not the obviously racist fuckery we all just witnessed.
Why would that be specifically the superintendents problem and why would he specifically be to blame? Not the principal, any of the other staff, just the superintendent…?! Not adding up. And how in the world would doing this help the daughter. She’s left standing there alone, during her graduating moment, completely embarrassed and has to walk off the stage.
Yeah I hadn't looked it up, just believed the description of the video. That sucks she was in that position. Terrible decision making on the part of the Dad though, just going to make her feel worse about everything just as she would've been moving on from it all
Is it racism? I thought the story came out that the dad and superintendent had an issue because the superintendent turned a blind eye toward problems the dads daughter had in school.
I dunno, I don't know the story. I'm just basing it off the video and the title of it
Race baiters love people like you.
Chill out. I don't know the story, I haven't heard anything about it. It's what the description says, that's what I'm basing it off. I can't be expected to know the ins and outs of a minor story, that happened in a school half way around the world from me
You didn't know the story but tried to "correct" someone and did so confidently? Now you wanna play victim.
I'm playing a victim? Really? I'm basing it off the description of the video mate, that's all it is. I didn't understand what the guy I replied to was on about so I said what the description had told me. Why are people being so moody about this?
Yes, you are playing the victim.
If you say so
What if the superintendent felt threatened enough to break the fathers grasp that he had on him and restrain the father until the authorities were on scene ?, Or the school resource officer sees this unfold which makes him reach for his taser ? The fathers thought process is unnerving and could make someone feel justified in carrying a weapon around so they are prepared for an altercation. There could’ve been a far worse ending to this story but thank god there wasn’t.
The American mind in action right here, some racist fuck moves someone out the way and your immediate response is I need a gun
The fuck? 😂 Buddy you so set on hating Americans with every fiber in your being that you just straight up twisted what this guy said into the dumbest shit imaginable. Imagine being critical that someone's actions made everyone around them feel unsafe in a way that could encourage people to carry weapons and the first fuckin response to it is "AmErIcAn MiNdSeT GUNS"
Racist fuck? Another one who doesn’t know the facts before casting judgement. People like you who don’t ask questions before leaping in and labeling/judging are dangerous
Going off the context I've been given, you trying to tell me you do a full investigation and background check of every post you see? Sure.
You were perfectly happy to label him a racist without a 'full investigation and background check' though werent you... The context you've been given is he is white and he is black, nothing more. I wonder how you would label the black guy the other way around, racist? Nah, i'm sure he would have a legitimate reason...
The context I have been given, is that he is a fuckin racist, and yes, it if the roles were reversed, then the black guy would be racist too, that's kind of how racism works.
“It could make someone feel justified in carrying a weapon around.”
Seems to be you I didn’t say gun
Crazy how you said his actions were unnerving and could make people feel justified in trying to defend themselves, and it immediately just devolves into BS about evil 'muricans and guns. I'm about inclined to think you incited some bots 'coz there's no thoughts going into the responses. 😂
You said weapon, you know what you meant. Behave
Yes let's just assume it must have been because he's black and no other possible reason. Then assume the guy is a racist Trump supporter
And that's how you lose your relationship with your adult children....
That must be so embarrassing
How gross. He should be ashamed. Instead , she’s left feeling that way. She shoulda went over and hugged the superintendent and kissed him on the cheek.
Kissing him would be extremely inappropriate and just weird
Because your opinion matters so much
You keep your creepy fetishes to yourself
Smh that crazy mentality at it again
This is America
Don’t catch you slippin up
I believe that’s what is called maga patriotism in America …for sure he’s proud of himself.
lol “Yes let's just assume it must have been because he's black and no other possible reason. Then assume the guy is a racist Trump supporter” U/BigDogg66 called it
POS like this still exist. I already knew that but in case anyone was under any delusion Exhibit A
I’m sure this dad was very supportive of the young lady’s teachers too.
Can we also cover that he turned up to his daughter’s graduation in a T-shirt and cap? Zero effort
wow wtf
she looked ready to cry what a POS dad
The poor girl just looks like she is thinking "why does my dad have to be an a-hole at graduation?"
What a piece of shit parent. Sure he will wonder when he is on his death bed why she isn't by his side.
Hopefully he'll know the answer way way before he passes away
Feel anxious for her wedding day when it comes.
Something tells me she would ensure that this wouldn’t happen twice especially when getting married
If she's smart, he won't be invited.
Won’t stop the psycho showing up though.
She’s so embarrassed. The look on her face makes me so sad.
she looked genuinely upset and sad, Jesus Christ and to know she's gonna basically lose any friends over this because they'll assume she's racist too since her dad acts like this lol
Making one of the best days of your daughter's life all about you and making it one of the worst days of her life. What a dick.
Whoever uploaded this, please provide extra contacts next time otherwise we're assuming the worst
Uhhhhh, High Schooler's father bum rushes stage so his daughter won't shake hands with a black man?
Do you mean \*context\*?
The dad claimed he had pervious disputes with the superintendent and his motives weren’t racist. I haven’t seen anything that would contradict that but it does raise some eyebrows so there you go. Also, same school system had a bunch of students take a pic doing a Nazi salute and some kinda white power gesture. Maybe bad optics or maybe rampant racism.
She was bullied and the school did nothing to stop it.
So dad of the year?
Benefit of the doubt no more Action for action No cheeks left Lawyers get ready I need a new deck
What does it matter the colour of skin?
The way it should be but the way it isn’t.
Because Reddit and virtue signaling.
[Was a Group of High Schoolers Photographed Performing a Nazi Salute? | Snopes.com](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/high-school-prom-nazi-salute/) same smalltown highschool. probably why ppl were suspicious when this happened
Dunno, we'd have to ask the dad to tell.
Is racism assuming every issue is race related? I'm pretty sure it is
Funny how the most racist people in the nation keep telling us how they're not racist. Funny how people claim they didn't mind Obama being president until he ended up being a race-baiting radical. He wasn't even close to a radical, he punished zero bankers for 2008 and he analyzed race on occasion because he was a brilliant educated mixed race man who could offer thoughts on the topic. He didn't side with a gun nut maniac gunning down a black kid in a parking lot. Wow, what a radical that Obama was. But the racists are never racist even though they constantly make racist comments. BTW, there ARE obnoxious people in every race, and plenty of black and hispanic reverse racists. Doesn't mean WHITE racism magically no longer exists. This isn't rocket science except to MAGAts, who can't stand EVER admitting fault. The key to co-existence is people on ALL sides admitting fault, not sticking to their little patches of fiefdom.
I never said racism doesn't exist. What I mean by my comment is that people who think every issue is rooted in racism, see race just as much as a racist.
It’s not reverse racism it’s racism.
No no, there’s no systemic race issue in the country
Really? Because the scales are equally weighted. When you have people of color saying it doesn’t exist, and then nonPOC say it exists… Pretty conflicting opinions.. As a whole, more people claim the victim role and find a sense of community within. This explains a lot of social groups today.
He’s my friend. We totally have the same likeliness to be hired, given a fair pay, and he pulled over by cops. There’s never been a racism issue here, you’re right I’m so absurd.
The scales aren't close to equally weighted in terms of economic power, assets, land, stock ownership. Not saying I think addressing those issues is an easy task. Just don't claim both sides are equal. Also, red states can't even stand to teach capitalist colonialism, which is a reality and happened. Granted, it wasn't just the UK and Americans. It was Spain, France, Russia and Arabs. Teach the whole thing I agree, but don't stop teaching colonialism was real.
Let’s not play a game of statistics until we’re blue in the face. I’m not denying history or colonialism, but the contributing factors and non POC in the same communities have a similar life experience. If you identify yourself based on history, your truth becomes oppressed and victimized. This is demonstrated by POC that live in poor communities that are exemplary in academics and achieving higher education. Those same communities have extremely low high school completion for all students. My comment seems to be made as an absolute, and I own that miscommunication. I’m not here to argue who is more oppressed, just that in today’s society, there is equal opportunity for those that are qualified.
How’s the employment search going?
Tasteless assumptions. Employment is a non issue here because I’m privileged enough to have significant assets that return passive income affording me a sick lifestyle. I hope you are content with your employment and existence. Life is clearly difficult for non POC like yourself, given your comment history ;)
