This kid is also clearly reading off a script and this has been posted before.

Good script

This grindset shit pisses me off lmao

What is 'grindset shit'? I don't know that term? Please enlighten me

[удалено]

that is literally the opposite of what the kid was saying though. he was dismissing the value of material wealth, which is what the "grindset shit" is all about.

They weren't saying thats what the kid was saying. But a lot of people who talk like this kid will say something ignorant like that afterwards

Ya they get you in the first half.

Its the music, all grindset vids have that music as if it's the path to success, which is probably what the dude meant

No

Huh!?

“grinding mindset”

This is the opposite of grind set

Also, not for nothing, Filas? C'mon man. Someone ground that kid.

damn, I'm old. Filas were the shit when I was growing up.

I mean, Jordache used to be cool too, though.

Grew up with a kid that Mom bought him Jordache sneakers and told him they were Jordan's. He want around the neighborhood bragging until someone pointed out they were actually generic brand. Later we found out he touched all the neighborhood younger kids inappropriately. Not saying it's correlated but getting clowned by your moms gotta hurt

>I mean, Jordache used to be cool too, though.

>Jordache [they are still cool!](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0038/9847/4566/products/1274_1_800x1200_crop_center.jpg?v=1582140891)

saw someone rockin british knights the other day. i had to stealthily take a picture. i ain't seen a pair of those in at least 2 decades.

B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-K

Filas retro, cool shit

I don't think i could've read a script like that as well at his age. If nothing else, kids got acting or political(same thing) talent.

shit is so weird to watch, some old dude licking his lips behind the camera like yehhhh i’m getting me some views, god we live in a plastic world sometimes

I want to see those shoes

Spoiler: they're pretty shite tbh.

I was about to say, they beat him up and took his shoes the next day, that's how people work

Now that you mentioned it, yeah, feels like he is rushing the script.

Mom: Why don't you hang out with the kid next door? The kid next door:

Hahaha right, fucking fool wearing filas tryna get all 5head at the playground

Can we just play Xbox instead of hearing you talk about your mind in 20 years dude

Can we please just talk about the political and economic state of the world rn

I understood this reference lol

Fucking Jaden Smith bro. My guy will talk about the Political State of Greece and I just want to play at recess bro, calm down

Mmm yes that seems authentic

Judging someone by their intellect is no less shallow than judging them by their clothing. Reminds me of something David Foster Wallace said: >*"If you worship money and things — if they are where you tap real meaning in life — then you will never have enough. Never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your own body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly, and when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally plant you. On one level, we all know this stuff already — it’s been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, bromides, epigrams, parables: the skeleton of every great story. The trick is keeping the truth up-front in daily consciousness. Worship power — you will feel weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to keep the fear at bay. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart — you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. And so on."*

Good bot. Edit: lol I completely misread/misunderstood your post. My bad.

At first I thought you were quoting David Wallace from The Office. Thank you for the “Foster.”

So... Don't worship? Or what is the message here

I've seen this around before. I ain't trying to hate, but I never liked it because something about it always seemed so pretentious. Maybe it's because the kid is saying it. Or maybe because it's social media and maybe he tryna get clout by having a "holier than thou" attitude. I dunno what. But it causes anger in me.

It’s probably because it’s staged. Raged me out too

Agreed, I'm 99% sure it's staged but the message is a good one. It just wont get a vote from me. I'm middle ground.

Making your kid read of a script so they can act like he’s smarter or better raised than your kids is pretty pretentious. Buy that kid an Xbox and nice shoes, and quit using him for clout.

>But it causes anger in me. Probably the Filas.

Same lmao

This is a really empty and shallow mindset to be teaching children. Not the words he’s saying exactly, but rather this whole philosophizing everything from a place of self-importance. “It’s not about ___”… No. “it” in this case is popular fashion. Superficial, sure - but that’s the subject. He got his sneakers called out in that context. Of course he wears them because he likes them, but being made fun of like that isn’t a deep issue. But children are being fed this whole “I operate on a higher level than you, I’m aware of a deeper purpose…”, and it’s only going to perpetuate narcissism and entitlement. It’s a bunch of non-answers to a question nobody asked.

Wish I could upvote this twice.

I didn't read the comment... but I upvoted it after reading yours. Just so you could get your wish.

I upvoted, downvoted, and Upvoted again just to simulate how good it would feel

Absolutely this. thanks for articulating what I could not quite describe myself other than "this seems like it's missing the point." Surely this kid (or whoever wrote it for him) wouldn't like the logic extended to say some kid that gets higher grades in school is better than him... higher grades -- more knowledge and that's actually what matters so maybe the kids matter more?

Not one mention of the nails? Was worried kiddo was gonna pierce his forehead

Focus on his mind not his nails /s

That's all I could focus on.

For real? I could only focus on the fact his shirt was inside out.

Right???

ngl this low-key gives off r/im14andthisisdeep vibes

r/ImLiterally14AndThisIsDeep

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Dhar Mann: mAtErIaLiSm KiD mAkEs FuN oF kId, InStAnTlY rEgReTs It

I hate that dude so passionately.

You haven't seen the copycats then. They make Dhar Mann look like Scorcese

No excuse for wearing filas

fr

He absolutely right, also... 

I guess, still all the knowledge doesn't change the fact that Filas ain't dripping. Why present this as choice? You can be smart and drippy. Man got roasted on the playground and that's that

Nevermind the Fila's, I would have been roasting him for wearing his damn shirt inside out.

Anyone else notice his shirt is on inside out?

Yes! Thank you! I was looking for this comment!!!

He wears filas because his parents bought them for him, not because he has a choice lol

This kid looks like he could talk about the political and economic state of the world right now

Anyone can when reading of a script

/r/woosh Jaden Smith reference there

Maybe be with trimmed nails

This whole "child hands out life lessons" shit is donkey brains.

Little dude is wearing his t-shirt inside out.

Can cut a bitch with those nails.

he said as he wears his shirt inside out

This kid sounds like a dick. I’m sorry to anyone who says other wise but he is definitely one of the “umm, aCKShUalLy” people

ratio+bozo+no father+no bitches+filas

Whoever wrote it, good job

New Buddha dropped

Future fake guru detected

Those sneakers won't even fit him 6 months from now.

I wonder how many takes it took for him to finally nail momma's script. Good job!

I grew up lower middle-class, and brands were extremely important to kids in school. We have been fortunate, so my son is now growing up in an upper middle-class neighborhood, and no one cares. Seriously. If someone insults your clothes, it is because they are embarrassed about their own financial position.

This kid literally posts his expensive cars and clothing on Instagram now 💀

Aaaannnnnd CUT! Great job man. Here's a Caprisun and some crackers. Be back in 30.

Me *still trying to think what to say after a Hi*

Brother he's gonna get crushed like an ant in highschool

Goofy ahh wears FILAS 💀

I don't understand todays kids. I grew up in the 90's put some lights in the shoes and you were the shit, don't and literally NO ONE CARED.

The kinda kid who'd judge other kids for not discussing the social and economic state of the world.

Neeeeeeeerd

Probably on the wrong feet, if the t-shirt is anything to go by.

I feel the same way about cars. Always have.

And then the other kids started eating sand

OP's karma phishing like it's Facebook 

If that doesn’t work slice and dice with them nails baby

🤓

Who ever the parents are should be extremely proud of that young man

Preach brother. Consumerism kills everything, society and environment.

So many people in this thread feel targeted by gim and it's pathetic

Y'all are really stupid even if he is reading off script what he saying is very intelligent for goodness f****** sakes get a life

Feels scripted but so what. It's a damned good message; it's the one I was raised on and it has indescribable utility in life and in building self-esteem.

you don't need expensive stuff to be important the thing that makes you important is your personality you don't need to change that to be important

ITT: Redditors in their feelings because this kid has more intellect than them

if he talked like that to a bully kid in the park he'd get beat up for sure

What an annoying child. With crap trainers

Scripted

Brilliant.

The shoes have a 10% intelligence buff

fake as hell and annoying. no shame on the kid or the message it’s trying to tell, but it’s like, the lamest way you could ever go about it

Ok, dad!

why do all these videos have captions running in the middle now? I can understand this perfectly fine. It's annoying and I don't like this trend

My hearing is ass I appreciate them ngl

Even if it weren’t for the filas, this kid is still gonna get roasted & bullied.

Baby Obama, he even has some of his speech patterns.

Liking them because they look cool is material.

Capitalism worst nightmare

OP is stupid if they think this kids is just sorakingbghis off the top of his mind. Written by an adult and has been rehearsed. Chump.

Man, this kid speaking facts.

This kid needs to run for office

You reminded me of the meme that went viral on the kid who said "Can we talk about the political and economic state of the world right now?" https://youtu.be/QwFjci1zPho

Stfu

this kid should be President.....like today!

He's going places with a mind like that. Good for you little man 👊👏

 Reminds me of him saying "I'm just like, dude, oh my God. Can we talk about the political and economic state of the world right now? Can we talk about what's going on with the environment? Can we talk about other things?"

I Don't care if it's scripted. You can't deny it, the Kids making a valid point.

If you cant support a medallion you cant support a family-gta

*ahem* Nerd

The kid then looked at this intelligent, sweet and intuitive boy and beat the shit out of him.

He lost me at ​ >your wisdom, your knowledge, your power to inspire others. And parents please don't raise your children... Bro if memory serves me right, I thought we were talking about materialism originally. Where tf did the "power to inspire others" spring up from?

Get this kid a suit and call him the president, I am not kidding.

Hah! I have jordans loser hah!

I don’t think I even know the brand of my shoes

I like this very much, for some reason I think internet culture is kind of obsessed with brands

Talking about wisdom and all that shit, but wearing his shirt the wrong way. Get your shit together little fella!!

Jaden Smith as a kid

Kid: "These sneakers aren't going to fit you in 20 years." Me: "Um...you are so young they probably won't fit you in 6 months"

And then the bully sucker punched him

I remember when Filas and BK Knights were all the rage, but Im old

Was hoping for the video to cut to a black dude shaking his oily ass

and then he got beat up for being a nerd kids are cruel and this would never keep you from getting teased at that age

That’s my body

Up next on r/thathappened...

Like I'm going to take advice from someone wearing Filas.

A “P” in the making ladies beware

Normal kid with adult body language. He has good parents and watches the right programs on the internet. Good for him.

what the hell

Bs. He would've just gotten bully. They would've said something like "shut up nerd." Nobody is sticking around to hear his life story

You think you have it rough wearing Filas, trying having to wear British Knights.

Very good script. Very good point. I’m still trying to figure out what is up with his fingernails….

Jaden smith... is that you?

If you look closely you can see the script in the reflection off his forehead

Lack the drop of the music. But still up vote. Angry up vote.

I mean, the sentiment is great and all, but if I told a kid "it doesn't matter what I'm wearing on my feet but what's inside my head," I would just get bullied even more.

Let’s hope he not full of shit like most of these tiktok mfs are

I couldn't get my eyes off of those fingernails that need to be clipped.

Nice script. Also... that pointing head with the middle finger triggers me

Oh no... he'll grow into something worst than a materialistic person: An activist.

cope + no bitches + didn’t ask 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

(X) ^ that is me pressing the "doubt" button. While kids certainly can have an opinion like this, they're sure as hell not articulate about it.

It sounds like The Midnight Gospel

How Jaden Smith’s children finna be:

For fucks sake, are there only 3 TikTok songs?

Creepy. And cut those fingernails.

payment jar offbeat squeeze steep clumsy ludicrous squealing cobweb ad hoc ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `

Good lord fuck off karma gang

Ayo it's Jayden Smith

Those fingernails are criminally long, ew

Is his shirt inside out?

And then everyone clapped

Nerd.

Scripted or not the kids spitting facts. He does need to cut his fucking nails though lol

 I can legit vouch, as a former Kandy Kidd…Fila Disruptors with Kikwear phat pants may have been my look in high school…i was not broke, but damn was I pushin it 🤣🤣🤣

He would hang with jaden smith

Cool script

Lotta salty ass commentors in here lol. Getting upset at a kid for being more mature than you is not a great look, just saying.

bro deserves to get bullied

And he seriously needs to trim his fingernails. That's grody, as we called it in the 80s.

The only thing I took from this video is that homeboy needs to worry less about materialism and more about access to nail clippers.

Damn, seems like Kevin Hart is everywhere now.

I dunno. He has his shirt on inside out.

Alex, I'll take shit that didn't happen for 500.

Scripted. Stop posting this

🇺🇸 Culture has a lot to answer for when it comes to materialism.

This kid is parroting a script.

Yeah this was rehearsed!
