Open Post: Our community needs more black men like this to stand up

By Sandra Rose  | 

This video of a courageous black man interrupting a street fight between 2 boys is heartwarming and encouraging. Our community needs more black men like him.

The man stepped up to stop a fight between two teens who may have been seriously hurt. The two boys don't have conflict resolution skills. So they settle their disagreements by fighting in the street.

The man pointed out correctly that the "cowards" recording the action on their cell phones were not their friends. The kids were only interested in uploading content to their social media pages.

"Look around. They're laughing at you," he told the boys.

This is what our young people been reduced to. The lack of empathy or concern for the welfare of others is shocking. These are the people who will one day care for you in your old age.

    AS WELL AS MORE BLACK WOMEN WITH PLATFORMS TO STAND FOR US AND NOT DEMEAN US AS WELL........

  • Django the God

    He lucky they didn't swing on him.

  • Justlooknout

    When I watched the OLD story, I was lord...I hope they don't beat his arse.

    These kids are so disrespectful.

  • Yoni7

    I mentioned this video earlier. HE'S BAE! And those silly kid's STILL DIDN'T GET IT!

  • SweetsJunkie

    OLD?

  • Django the God

    Then he would've been in a bad situation, once they took a shot at him.

  • APeachLikeMe

    when the company firewalls ish...and you gotta politely take out your phone and or IPad to view... carry on.. had to vent

  • Django the God

    Kids always laughed on the sidelines though.

    My mother grew up in a family of 11. She said they mobbed everybody.

    Wasn't no spectating.

  • Itzgoingdown

    Tell the truth. You just want someone to green-light your bullchit. Sometimes the truth hurts. The best advice I ever received was bullchit is bullchit!

  • Justlooknout

    news older than 48 hours is OLD. According to Sandra.

  • CrunchyBlack1

    we had folk like him growing up who MADE us stay out of trouble. the OG's wasnt with folk bringing cops to the hood unnecessarily.

  • SummerBaby

    This is fantastic! This was real common when I was growing up. You famous now @Yoni7.

  • Buttercup

    Yoni, you've made it! I thought it was going to hit home when he mentioned one young man's father doing life, but there was still laughter. I just have to chalk it up to the frontal lobe not being fully developed.

  • nick c

    That's what I was waiting on I would just turn the cheek it ain't worth it. Can't stop young dudes from scrapping over nothing.

  • Justlooknout

    This your Bae? Yeah, great job, the kid laughing made me mad and the girl back there thinking she was grown. Good Guy

  • Keesh5000

    Go Yoni.... Boo made head line news ahhhhhhhh (tongue out)

  • Keesh5000

    This is actually awesome to see. I wish it was more of this, I know it can save a couple of lives or what not.

  • PettyEyezPrime

    @Yoni7 Speech speech speech

  • Justlooknout

    It's suppose to be 18/21

    but chile

  • jeniefrumdabloc™

    nice.... I see black men like this all the time Sandra ... Change the reflection ?

  • YES I SAID IT…

    We need more men to stand up and speak up for and at our young youth, both the boys and the girls! A lot of the kids don't even have parents that take the time out to talk to them about life and how to walk away and let stupid shiit go and only go hard for your for what U want out of life. And the kids who are laughing and recording won't think it's funny until it's them getting their asss beat up or laughed at. ALl I know is, it's a sad world we live in today, these kids think everything is funny and they don't have no self control to speak up against violence instead they wanna laugh and press record. But I am glad dude stepped in and hopefully it would make them think from here on out... Hopefully!

  • cherrypie

    Love this soooo much!!!! More people need to stand up and speak out when young kids are cutting up. This young brotha did the right thing. As soon as he approached them they began to listen. Most kids don't want to fight. They just don't want to look like a sucka in front of everyone especially while on video.

  • Justlooknout

    Jennie the Truth Teller. Come Through.

  • PettyEyezPrime

    I see things like this in my "hood". Believe it or not, people not just out here whooping on each other. My community gives a fukc about 1 another because we all know each other. Not everyone but a lot. Change your surroundings!!! Maybe the hatred of ones own people would be different ?????

  • PettyEyezPrime

    Hey boo

  • cherrypie

    For once, I agree with everything Sandra said today.

  • Taylordanes

    YEP me too! Wish the blog owner would do the same for black folks instead of demeaning us and selling us out for clicks

  • Renee26

    This is what made me think the whole video was staged. Two people fighting don't stop that quickly...it's a good message though

  • jeniefrumdabloc™

    I see people in general standing up against the fugg shyt and I love it... Hey bew ... I see it quite often and love to bless them.... Change the reflection is what I say ... ????

  • Taylordanes

    There are MANY black men here in California who MENTOR and SHOW UP!!!!! I know many ....... This just needs to be shown more so than the brothers who are not doing right,,,,

  • jeniefrumdabloc™

    Hey Petty ...???

  • Taylordanes

    yet she doesn't uplift her people ... the irony...

  • Taylordanes

    THANK YOU!!!! Blog owners should show more of this.... instead of the foolery they do for clicks

  • jeniefrumdabloc™

    Shyt Sandra will be alright ... She hasn't demeaned me in no way... So if that shyt don't apply let that shyt slide on by ....??

  • PettyEyezPrime

    Positivity doesn't get the "clicks", I get it.

  • KarmaBackAround

    this is a awesome post.. we need more men and FATHERS like this indeed! I have 2 brothers, dad, husband, 2 sons and 1 in heaven and I tell you I want them to be stand up men like this. Nothing wrong with spreading love and positivity cause all the black men have is their own selves. Their generation Is soo messed up its scary..

  • Justlooknout

    I see it, WE, YOU I live it!

    ????????????

  • Readytochokemothernatureonout

    Kudos to them and the many others who do this daily and Yay Yoni7!!!!

  • jeniefrumdabloc™

    ???????

  • Taylordanes

    I want someone to green light my shit??? Sorry doll!!! The truth does hurt but PROPOGANDA and LIES hurt more......

  • Buttercup

    Everything that I've read said 25.

  • L.T.L. Since 2007

    I'm glad this vid is getting hella views. And I'm sure there are way more men out here like this that we'll never see or hear about in the media.

    More importantly, I'm concerned my cataracts or glaucoma must be acting up because I didn't read a line of shade anywhere in the article.

    Something ain't right. Somebody down in the A might want to check on Sandra to make sure she ain't somewhere laid out........

    I'm talking daily now.... Proud of folks... People sick of the shyt

  • CrunchyBlack1

    you could tell the one with the hoodie didn't want to fight. im soooo glad my brother was well known in the hood, cuz nobody bothered me. i was able to be a nerd and not get picked on for it lol

  • Itzgoingdown

    Two men fighting is wrong..... very dangerous. Two girls or women fighting is wrong..... very unfeminine. I don't agree with recording a fight but two young boys fighting as long as their close to the same size and it's a fair one might not be right but sometimes can be a very valuable life lesson.... helps to build courage and character, resolution skills (especially if the bully feels some pain/gets hit in the nose) and the ability to foregive/makeup get along after a disagreement once the the boys inevitably make up and become friends again playing ball together. shrugs

  • PettyEyezPrime

    And I'm sure there are way more men out here like this that we'll never see or hear about in the media.
    *******
    There is? But we have to start somewhere in the news and media

  • Taylordanes

    I speak for all women of color and she has demeaned many on this site more so than uplift... thats why folks were upset when she posted that pasty drug user boasting about her tax refund... and calling black women all kinds of bad moms and the like..... She may or may not be ok because...... karma is a B!!!!!

  • Django the God
  • Readytochokemothernatureonout

    Yeah I see the effort all the time here and elsewhere....yes we are sick of it

  • PettyEyezPrime

    I sensed a little shade but I'm letting it go

  • Keesh5000

    This video should go viral. The Youth need something to believe in and the way things are looking they are very interested in these 5 to 10 minute videos..so why not turn it into something they can relate to and something that may get theirattention for a miute or two

  • Django the God

    They'll have more respect for each other after someone gets their bell rung.

  • jeniefrumdabloc™

    I speak for jenie ... And she hasn't offended me at all.... I'm sure she has offended many this is norm on this blog... I didn't see that post and glad I didn't ... Learn how to swerve save ya stress and that was not shade just the truth... ? it is what it is with Sandra... Ya can't change folks views only she can change her actions... Quiet as it's kept... Sandra has a good heart ... I do see that... And flaws... But don't We all...

  • L.T.L. Since 2007

    Love is growing pay attention ... May not seem that way but it is... ??

  • Ms.Caramel

    Men back in the day used to stand up and some of them still do today. It's just that most of us women and men don't feel like getting slapped or shot trying to do the right thing. These kids today are too grown and will just as soon curse you out or jump on YOU before they decide to stop and listen. I applaud the guy in the video though.

  • NegraGata

    MUST SEE (I hope no one has already posted this)...

  • KennyHollywood

    As a black kid coming up in the 80's and 90's, these are the type of black men that regulated my neighborhood. As young men we respected those guys. Those two young men were getting the guidance that is needed in our communities these days.

  • MsSincerity

    On life, I felt it was staged too, for the EXACT same reason that you did. I figured that they were trying to send a message, so I kept my theory to myself, because I didn't want to be the one that pointed the negative out of what was suppose to be positive, but I'm glad that I wasn't the only one that noticed that...good eye girl. lol

  • klwbaby

    Im glad he did step in and stop the fight. I saw an episode of the First 48 that a schoolyard fight turned into a mother and older brother being killed.

  • Itzgoingdown

    8 years later 70 to 80% of poor black kids STILL go to the worst schools in their city and state. No Hope and Change for them. No good jobs, crime, broken families, blacks at the bottom economically and academically......

    Liberalism just doesn't work for blacks..... That's fact not propaganda

  • Christopher Gibson

    OUR community? Really Sandra? Take your azz back on the other side of the coon road with Steve Harvey, Omorosa, Stacey Dash, etc. You can lick 'em and Steve can stick 'em.

  • SuperScooper1

    Yes! Those men were mature, dignified, strong, masculine, well-read, and had elders advising them which is why the neighborhood was so strong.

    We can get back there if we as a people stop watching so much TV/avoid the Mainstream Media, abandon GMO's and processed foods and plant gardens, are honest with ourselves about the motivation for LBJ's "Great Society" programs, stay spiritually centered, and embrace discipline and maturity. I appreciate this man and every child there (and watching online) learned something from this video.

  • SunRiseBlossom

    Whew... I am so durn SLEEPY!!! Why am I so durn sleepy?!!! Hheeyy my Sandra Rose Family... #Blowskisses

  • Itzgoingdown

    Why do you keep coming back if its so bad?

  • Erin Blockabitch

    We can take the initiative as men and women to approach the youth when they're in danger. It's all in the approach. I've spoken to a large group of young Black people outside of a shopping center when they were obstructing traffic in the parking lot. I saw security approaching and I asked them to please step on the sidewalk and remain orderly. I reminded them that the officers in the city we are in would not hesitate to cuff and/or arrest them sans justification. I didn't want to see any of them become the next Mike Brown. They were respectful, agreed and thanked me. Sometimes, these kids and younger adults just need to know someone cares about them. I think that's one of the real issues behind their sometimes wreckless or thoughtless behavior.

  • SugarFoot a.k.a Ty

    Well damn Sandra u do have an ounce of act right in ya.

  • Ms.Caramel

    I agree

  • SuperScooper1

    But perhaps it will change the thinking of one or two of them, which could change the outcome of their whole lives.

  • Mr. LeBrick James

    Props to that dude for stepping in.
    People get killed over foolishness like this every single day.

  • SuperScooper1

    Those kids were angry...It wasn't staged. They didn't want to fight and perhaps that's what you're seeing.

  • CrunchyBlack1

    im finna crawl under my desk and take a nap. that spicy tukey club musta had extra itis in it

  • cherrypie

    Real talk...we see it everyday unfortunately. Thank goodness the voice of reason was at the right place at the right time and was willing to step up.

    The truest thing that man said was about those attempting to record the fight. All of them are nothing but messy instigators stirring up chit for clicks.

  • Yoni7

    That bitch KNOW she done laid up on a table or two in her young age.

  • MissHarlem

    I don't know what white brainwashing you on today but these types of males and females were and still are pillars in our communities. Everyone has that adult in the hood who will tell your momma after they cursed you out and got you together. I'm that adult now. Just because you are subjected to by design btw to see fvkry doesn't mean the opposite doesn't exist. Acting like these men are unicorns when we all know of and some males here are one. Tuh. Back to dark I go ?

  • SunRiseBlossom

    Uh Uh... if it's good (like it was this morning)... I like to roll over and suck my thumb until I fall back to sleep!!! LMBO

  • Lorenzo Chaps

    Yeah I don't remember the true OG's cheering on fights in the hood. If we fought, somebody walking by or driving would most likely stop the fight and say "y'all gone be friends again tomorrow." It was true. Needless to say we didn't readily pull out guns to shoot either.

    Like he said these two fighting but all their "boys" in the background laughing and recording it. Your friends would step in, pull you to safety and walk with you, not stand there and watch you fight.

  • Yoni7

    That's that Black Magic (stick). LMAO

  • Lorenzo Chaps

    First one hit my hand. The baddest hit my hand. You hit the instigator's hand then he hits your opponent, back n forth until y'all get into. Same ish.

    Mandeville daycare under investigation after toddler runs into traffic

    MANDEVILLE, La. -- A preschool is under investigation after a 3-year-old was able to escape the property and run into traffic.

    The Department of Education, which manages daycare licensing across Louisiana, is leading the investigation in KidZone on Highway 59, but the St. Tammany Sheriff's Office has also taken a report on the incident.

    August Clark, a Mandeville-area truck driver, said the situation he found himself in last Thursday is still hard to shake.

    "When I went to make my right hand turn onto Solar Court, out of, just, out of the blue, a little kid was running towards me," he said, "He was in the middle of the road and I almost hit him."

    Clark slammed on his brakes, then blocked traffic to protect the child, who he later learned was just 3-years-old. Clark was able to jump out of his truck and grab the child as the toddler was headed straight for rush-hour traffic on Highway 59 in Mandeville.

    "I said I don't know where he come from, but what I'm gonna do, I hear the kids over there playing in the back over at KidsZone, and so I'm going to go over there and see if they're missing a kid," he said.

    Clark said the daycare didn't know the child was missing, but didn't take long to figure out he had gotten out of the preschool's play yard through a hole in the back fence. The child's mother, who did not want to go on-camera, said she wasn't notified about the incident until the next day, and wasn't given the full details until she met with the State Department of Education investigator, who was called by Clark.

    A representative with KidsZone declined an on-camera interview for this story, however, did offer a statement. She acknowledged that there was an incident last Thursday, that the state has been informed and that they are cooperating fully. When asked if any changes had been made to the fence since this incident, she said, 'Absolutely.'

    Clark said he hopes the incident is a wake-up call to the daycare and a warning to parents about who they leave their children with.

    The state would not say if the daycare had any prior complaints on file or had been investigated in the past.

  • SuperScooper1

    I am SO glad the truck driver called the authorities himself. You know good a damn well they would have swept it under the rug if they could have. For the thousands of dollars a week these daycare centers are charging parents, this is a disgrace.

    Well said!

  • Taylordanes

    why are you worried about the way I move?

  • ALLMINE

    How is Sandra a coon?she can't have an opinion? Black folks are terrible

  • Taylordanes

    8 years later... naw son this shit been going on for decade... centuries.. Obama was the president of the USA... are you aware of the presidents job? Are you aware of who really runs the world? Are you aware that the countries banned are those who will not allow the IMF ? Black people have to help themselves like ALL other races do.. aint no messiah coming to save us... which is why people with a platform should promote group economics and unity versus division and propoganda for hits and clicks

    Please don't label me as a liberal ... I am a humanitarian, and activist....

  • DidLEESquatTho

    This is Hilarious!

  • Taylordanes

    No shade taken nor am I stressed.... at all... lol

    I understand your position, however I speak for MANY..... I am very involved in my community and work with the youth in many aspects... so it is disturbing to see women of color being labeled and demeaned by someone who we would consider on of us... Mental illness is real... as well as greed....makes folks do awful things and I just point that out.... plus most of her posts are #clickandbait ...... which just shows the mental capacity of someone who feeds off their own people......

    I love you sir whoever you are may the good Lord bless you.

    Speak your truth and stand high gal ? but yeah those comments about black women don't bother me... I just get steebie wonder to shyt that don't apply ... That's me... And for the record I'm for everyone in some way... So I tend to stay away from post like that ... I do get ya though ?

  • rachel

    This is what being a MAN is all about. I applaud him for his actions.

  • Taylordanes

    haha cool beans.... I do avoid a lot of posts as well but sometimes I just have time lmaooooooo :)

  • Hmmm~?

    Black folks, especially black men are so unhumanly quick to react to a situation without doing any sort of thinking prior to acting. This is why so many of our kind is in jail, unemployed, or being gunned down over some foolishness. Just like that one black father who was shot and killed over a bout of road rage with his two kids in the back seat. Blood splatter on the side of the car and everything. Sad.

  • https://twitter.com/Chicagowise Chicagowise

    The products of single moms, absentee fathers, and rap music. A recipe for failure.

  • Jamal Warner

    I totally disagree 100%. The result of white supremacy. You did not address the root cause of such things as the "single mom" or absentee fathers, or even rap music. You have to address white supremacy and the result it has on black people.

  • Jamal Warner

    No one ever says things like "this is what the white community needs" when white kids do the same exact thing. It is a double standard.

  • Soon2BWife

    Right or let you fight, make sure nobody jumps you then break it up once y'all had enough. That was back in the day these kids shoot now so its best to not let it happen.

  • Jamal Warner

    No, we are in jail because there is a system designed to funnel black men into the industrial prison complex. Further, all that you mention is the result of a system of white supremacy, that means black people are mistreated and dominated by white people.

  • stanley

    Talking to those two kids that was fighting only worked because deep down those was good kids. Notice how the kid wearing glasses kept laughing, he wasn't raised to respect adults. My mother told me when I was a kid when an Adult speaks you better listen and be respectful.

  • We Can Do This

    We all have been down the road of white supremacy, but it never hurts to be reminded.

  • speakinmymind

    Jamal Warner is a fake login. This is a White person.

  • Kjibbers

    This man is courageous but this video feels staged. I do agree with the message however.

  • AggieMom96

    They do, but it's just not on social media. I hate that it's become the new almanac. If it's not viral or a video or a meme it doesn't happen...*sigh*.

  • Tequila Mockingbird

    So being in jail or prison has nothing to do with one's actions?

  • Hmmm~?

    Right, I forgot that black people are totally unaccountable for their own actions and incapable of doing anything to directly get themselves put in prison. Thanks for reminding me.

  • Jussjess25

    For comendable of the crackhead. ???. Im just kidding

  • Jussjess25

    Exactly right !

  • Indies beauty

    With this future degree... more like me taking care of them.

  • 2brefrank

    This fight looks very organized. They both looked like they lacked skills...if they were really mad they would have charged at each other with vicious blows. I'm glad they were going to square up instead of using guns but i didn't sense these were bad kids. nevertheless...."you were ill advised" very true. My mom told me to only fight if i HAD to. Doesn't seem like they had to....this was all for recording purposes to "go viral" but man on the street had a #Message.

    I did not say that. How did you come to that conclusion? I stated how black people collectively are suffering from being dominated and mistreated by white supremacist, which is an entire system.

  • Jamal Warner

    No, what I am saying is that there is a system based on color that exist to dominate and mistreat people based on race. It is designed to criminalize and in prison black people. Your entire post is to dismiss white supremacy. Because I said white supremacy now you are here to downplay it or dismiss it. White supremacy!

  • Jamal Warner

    It does especially when you are living in a system of white supremacy. It means that you will get longer prison sentences and more likely than other races to get harsher charges for the same crime white counterparts get a slap on the wrist. There is a system of mistreatment based on race that exist in this country. Or maybe you suggesting that millions of non-white people are lying about it?

    No, I am a black person. I am not one of those trolls trying to chose black sounding names. I chose this name because it is essentially my actual name.

    Not what I said, but nice try. I'm not white btw...

  • Jamal Warner

    Nice try! So a system of oppression does not exist in this country?

  • Tequila Mockingbird

    Where did I say that? I never disputed that.

  • Jamal Warner

    You did not answer the question. Plus, being in can be because of ones actions as well as a system design to do just that, which is lock up a particular group such as black people.

  • Tequila Mockingbird

    I don't have to if it wasn't implied or disputed. Of course its a thing, so what's your point?
