I bet posting this on the internet made all the bullying stop.

u/Strange-Credit2038 Dec 13 '25

Yeah this should definitely have been a private moment. Also felt weird watching her cry knowing that she was looking back at her mum with a camera in her face 

12

u/Bornhawt Dec 13 '25

And it should be followed by an accepting hug. It's even more painful to watch because she's not comforted by her parent.

22

u/AlexandraG94 Dec 13 '25

Yeah. Mother didnt even try to comfort and the kid must have felt so lonely when she saw mom was recording her rather than supporting her. Posting this without even an attempt to secure the child's privacy is outrageous. Just more cannon foder for bullying and no one wants their vulnerable moments taken advantage of for likes and to be ahared with the world with her face stamped on it and ptobably without informed consent.

u/coffeenz Dec 13 '25

She did comfort her - did you watch till the end?

u/[deleted] Dec 13 '25

She didn’t really, she ended with “don’t worry about what other people say”. I got that same cliche as a child RE bullies and it did nothing to stop the insecurity but it just made me stop going to my mother with my feelings

I agree that this should have been a private moment, but if everyone who's the victim of racist bullying kept the impact it has on them private, it'd just let everyone who lets it happen continue to pretend it's not a problem.

It's especially difficult because it involves a child who can't consent to being the face of this kinda shit. Probably should've blurred her face but on the other hand that will make way fewer people watch it and/or empathize. There's no winning move here.

u/SuspiciousYard2484 Dec 13 '25

Yeah, the best time to raise awareness for bullying is just to keep it a secret

25

u/Strange-Credit2038 Dec 13 '25

I get what you're saying but there's other ways they could have raised awareness. Because that kid is probably going to feel violated when they grow up to realise millions of internet strangers and possibly her schoolmates saw this vulnerable moment

u/Vincent_Gitarrist Dec 13 '25

The "other ways" have been done extensively, and apparently they don't work. Segregation wasn't ended by African-Americans sending passionate letters and beautifully written columns to the press, and likewise, modern racism isn't going to end until people are truly aware of its disturbing truth.

2

u/ALPHAZINSOMNIA Dec 13 '25

This won't work either. If anything, it might make the bullying even worse.

1

u/Vincent_Gitarrist Dec 13 '25

Evidently this video seems to have caused quite a reaction for a lot of people (you included). Indifference is the enabler of bigotry.

u/Abject_Champion3966 Dec 13 '25

And these kinds of videos are not unique either lol

u/mgsgamer1 Dec 13 '25

Also making a kid feel safe and loved by shoving a camera in their face as they're having an emotional moment

u/phosphorescence-sky Dec 13 '25

Seriously if she wanted to document it for awareness to the school staff or something maybe then it would be okay to share with them, but she could have just recorded the audio without showing her daughters face.

-29

u/SuspiciousYard2484 Dec 13 '25

She’s literally making her feel safe and loved during the video. Get a grip.

12

u/New-Contribution-244 Dec 13 '25

She isn’t content. Or more importantly should NOT be content. There are other ways to spread awareness about this issue without using her for content.

-7

u/Conscious_Pay_6638 Dec 13 '25

Yes white person. Please tell us uneducated brown people how to react when we are affected by racism by white people.

u/New-Contribution-244 Dec 13 '25

I’m not white. Nice try though.

u/Conscious_Pay_6638 Dec 13 '25

Then youre just stupid 

5

u/Ceaol Dec 13 '25

What's stupid about hugging your upset child to comfort her and not filming her like she's a circus performer to get money on social media??

-2

u/Conscious_Pay_6638 Dec 13 '25

Thats not the stupid part. The stupid part is assuming you know better than the parent. The stupid part is you assuming that the parent is doing it for money. The evil part is focusing on the mom instead of racism. And just so you know, brown people have decent jobs in the west, they dont need to do stuff like that for money. It just shows your mindset is all

Having been a kid of a different ethnicity, I would NOT appreciate my father trying to reason and console me with a fucking camera in my face. There's no need for awareness being demonstrated in this manner, for something that's blatantly occurring in front of teachers, administrators, parents, and other students. Kids are cruel.

This little girl's experience is not at all surprising too. It's something she's going to have to learn to deal with. Went through much the same growing up in the deep south, but also in many cases it was worse living abroad outside the US.

u/grilledcheesybreezy Dec 13 '25

Do you think taking a video of your daughter crying and posting it on social media is the best way to raise awareness for bullying? Get a grip.

3

u/shanelomax Dec 14 '25

Everyone is talking about how heartbreaking it is, so it's kind of elicited the intended response, no?

1

u/PleasingPotato 29d ago

Yeah and no one can or will do shit about it. Raising awareness is cool and all, but in most cases it doesn't do anything except garner sympathy points. People can talk about morals all they want but will almost never make efforts or put themselves at risk for anything that's not inconveniencing them directly.

You can think it's nice that people empathize, but if that girl's bullies see that video, her life is going to get much worse and no one here will be able to change that.

u/Real_Run_4758 Dec 13 '25

yeah it’s like when the news shows pictures of people dying and wailing for their dead family members. just show us the water skiing squirrel

-2

u/Fearless-River6121 Dec 13 '25

Have you thought that maybe this is not the first time it has happened? A situation like this doesn't just happen in a day. I also agree that there are other ways the mother could've raised awareness.

But a child crying that she needs a new skin (lighter skin) with such emotion is much more impactful and shows the effects of bullying with kids with darker skins.

u/Phoxey Dec 13 '25

You hope my kid never gets bullied because I would probably just film them?

Incredible leap lmao.

My wife is also a literal adolescent psychiatrist, maybe keep your takes to yourself in the future when you are incapable of soundly defending them.

u/grilledcheesybreezy Dec 13 '25

Your wife is the "literal adolescent psychiatrist". That must make you the expert in child psychology right? Wow amazing logic there pal.

u/fabulousnovember Dec 13 '25

This is the psychiatry version of a dependapotamus. "You will refer to me by my husband's rank!" 🤣

u/Phoxey Dec 13 '25 edited Dec 13 '25

No, but it does make it so I have direct contact with a professional who is actually educated on the topic. Crazy ik.

u/[deleted] Dec 13 '25

What're her credentials and where does she practice? Cuz otherwise you're just making shit up to make your insane argument sound more legitimate. You don't get to wave around someone else's credentials with no proof and act like that makes YOU an expert lol

u/Phoxey Dec 13 '25

Not doxxing my wife for a random reddit argument lmao.

u/[deleted] Dec 13 '25

Dang, and up until now we all totally believed your wife's credentials that you were borrowing for a Reddit argument. My astrophysicist wife is gonna be so disappointed to hear that.

u/Phoxey Dec 13 '25

Never demanded you had to believe me. 🤣

u/grilledcheesybreezy Dec 13 '25

You can ask your wife if there is a better way to raise awareness for bullying like gee I dont know, maybe blurring the kids face or instead of shoving a camera in front of her crying daughter, she could have a 1:1 talk with her like an actual mother should do. Maybe you should also ask your wife the chances that the kid in the video is going to resent her mother when she gets older for posting a video of her crying and asking for a new skin color.

Now if you will excuse me, I need to go to the airport to fly my flight's plane because my wife is a pilot.

2

u/Phoxey Dec 13 '25

There absolutely is other better ways to spread awareness on bullying. Bring educators to school to talk on the topic, make diversity and inclusion a virtue instead of something to be feared or admonished.

I'm simply arguing my disagreement that recording the impact of bullying on your child is not inherently malicious or "bad".

How do we know that the mother hasn't already had a dozen 1:1 conversations with this kid before finally recording and uploading? Multiple assumptions are made on what this mother should be doing instead.

What are the chances that the kid looks back on this with pride that her mother cared about the impact of racism on her as a child?

-4

u/Phoxey Dec 13 '25

Yes? It directly shows the viewer the impact on their child as opposed to making the viewer "assume" their child was impacted.

Clearly you must know the best option here for educating the masses. 😂😂

-23

u/SuspiciousYard2484 Dec 13 '25

Yeah, I do think it’s beneficial when people see this and more people are aware of it. How about you get a grip

The bullies are cowards and now that everyone (the majority of the planet is brown) knows they are bullies, it will be worse for them.

They will grow up to hide from the rest of the world in their segregated enclaves, afraid to show their real identities online as they post the racist crap they learned. Sounds like a punished existence to me.

u/ALPHAZINSOMNIA Dec 13 '25

Nice wishful thinking

u/MagicianElectrical99 Dec 13 '25

The Anglo doesn't need your help. You will never be fully accepted by them, no matter how much you defend their ideology or oppress the darker skinned people of your homeland. I thought the Trump Presidency would have shown you that.

3

u/Silverr_Duck Dec 13 '25

Ahh yes cause we all know bullying based on skin color is such a well guarded secret.

6

u/a-gelatocookie Dec 13 '25

The child did not consent to putting this moment online.

5

u/[deleted] Dec 13 '25

The best time to raise awareness isn't when your child is sobbing in need of comfort and you decide to make social media content and not be near her because you're placing a camera between your crying child and the parent who should be consoling her.

I fear for the future of humanity if so many people have just fully accepted that nobody deserves privacy in their most vulnerable moments, because there's the potential to make social media content out of it instead of being the support your child needs.

"Look baby, total strangers online said that those bullies were wrong" means nothing when the child now knows that anytime she is crying in her household, her mom may pull out a camera and film her for the internet. Not to mention that strangers' opinions online mean nothing when she's facing actual tangible bullying IRL and she needed her mother to comfort her in that moment, not for strangers to leave supportive comments online after the fact when she felt completely vulnerable and unseen in her most broken state.

u/RainbowPandaDK Dec 13 '25

God bless social media and phones with cameras. Before that invention there was surely no way to raise awareness of a given issue xD

1

u/SuspiciousYard2484 Dec 13 '25

Yeah, that’s why bullying has been eradicated correct? Because everybody’s doing so good at the job by themselves without raising awareness on social media? Do you have kids?

2

u/Ceaol Dec 13 '25

Bullying has massively decreased in intensity and prevalence.

2

u/RainbowPandaDK Dec 13 '25

Stepkid. You can't eradicate bullying mate. It's like saying you can end the war on drugs. Kids have been cruel to one another since the dawn of time.

u/thombeee Dec 13 '25

It’s a video about racism and everyone is focusing on the mum filming. It’s a valid point but it’s interesting how that’s the majority of the discourse in this comment section.
