When you do graduations at predominantly black schools, they don't even tell you to hold your applause anymore. 😂 They know it's useless to tell people not to support and celebrate their families achievements!

Heck I don’t care how damn white I am I had to put up with to many parent teacher conferences questioning how we parent and half the time the only time these teachers were around kids is in the classroom. We couldn’t say well sorry your class was on the lowest priority when it came to doing homework. Maybe if you all didn’t give hours of it we could get it done. Nope all that and more was saved for these shouted words Great Job son we made it then these whispered ones from his dad. I am so glad he is done I thought we weren’t going to make it without you going to jail

At my youngest sons graduation my older son and I sat amongst a black family and I remember the grandma putting her hand on my shoulder when their granddaughters' names was approaching. "Get ready, honey," was all she said. To be clear...we didn't know these people at all. Sure enough just like he described it was over-the-top. I believe they had twins so...twice the fun. And like another commenter noted, when it was my son's turn they helped bring some fire. They felt like I wasn't loud enough and when my son and I started to blush at the scene we'd become a part of they LOVED it. It was a great celebration and a fun memory. To this day...don't know any of that family, but we shared an important milestone together. It was fantastic. Truly, I love how this guy embraces what may be a stereotype, but I'd argue a great one.

My special needs daughter graduated from high school this year. There were 10 of us at an event where we only got 3 ticket. I let the less melaninate attendees know. “It’s about to go down.” As soon as they said her name, we went crazy.” After two open heart surgeries, and years of being seen as less than and invisible because she was special needs, we were gonna let her and everyone in that place know. She did that! And of course as it has already been said so many times before, we help cheer for every kid of the parents who sat near us. Because it’s all about showing the love and letting every kid know their special.

Trust me, I agree with everyone's comments. But they really tell you to hold your applause because some of the kids don't have any family members there and so they have no one cheering for them..

@misspickles47 Жыл бұрын

I went to my grand-daughter's college graduation, and it was a very diverse crowd. But we realized early on that a lot of the graduates didn't have family there. So between the graduate first stepping on stage, if no one stood up, or clapped, by the time they stepped off the stage there were 10 of us bringing the noise for them. A few of the students stopped, waved, and beamed smiles. So people were leaving before the ceremony was over, and we said naw son, we shutting this piece down, and we ended up clapping and shouting for the last of the graduates. By the time it was over, our voices was hoarse, and our hands were hurting, but we gave those graduates their flowers. But the absolute hilarious thing about that graduation was some Hispanic family had bought a plastic stadium horn in, and they bought the real party to a few graduates. I was like dayum they make us sound like church mice. It was the absolute funnest time ever.

@t-and-p 9 ай бұрын

Good for you!! And thank you for helping those graduates to feel special and celebrated. We need more people in the world like you and your family 💕 I'm British and a few years ago I was in the US for work at the same time that a friend (a fellow Brit) was graduating with a masters. Her family couldn't get there to watch the ceremony (all their finances had gone on getting her through college), so I managed to travel to her college, get a ticket last minute and went along to show support. As I was going in, a black family were stopped at the entrance and the staff were being really rude about letting them all in because "they were clearly together". I couldn't see the problem. I knew from my own experience of getting a ticket late that there were plenty of spare seats (and it felt incredibly cruel to make someone choose whether to let a parent or grandparent in, especially when there was room for both), so I stepped in and said something. I'm white and a former military officer, so I used my "professional voice" (eg sounded posh 😂) and demanded an explanation. The staff member gave up and let them all in. Not only did this incredible family insist that I sat with them (so that I wasn't alone), they looked after me with sweets/candy, drinks and snacks, made me so welcome, and helped me give the biggest cheer for my friend. It was a real honour to meet them and my friend and I still talk about them to this day. Something tells me that the graduates you supported will be doing the same, and telling people the story of the lovely strangers who supported them and showed them love in that special moment when they graduated 💕👍

@AdomahAdwoa-cc4yb It was my pleasure 💕 That amazing family turned my day into an awesome one but, even if I hadn't seen them after that moment at the entrance, it would still have been my pleasure. Who doesn't want to help those who are there to show love and support to someone who has worked so hard?! Also, everyone hates injustice. I don't know the staff's reason other than the one they gave me (they were a large group), so I don't know if they were being racist or not (it looked that way, but I can't say for certain), but why leave empty seats when there are supportive people who want to fill them? That was insane to me. I appreciate your kindness but, honestly, it really was my pleasure and I would do it again in a heartbeat 👍💖

I worked as an admin in a school district that was predominantly Black and Latino, and because I speak Spanish, they voluntold me to read the names at graduation. The Superintendent, a Black gentlemen, pulled me aside and said, “You know what this is gonna be. Keep it moving, Camp, keep it moving.” And I knew EXACTLY what he was talking about, so I said, “Could we PLEASE announce that you get 3 seconds to woo or something?” He barely cracked a smile. So I did the names, counted to 3 fast in my head, and parents got their moments and I had them tripping off my accent on the Latino names so they said I have to do it from then on.

I went to a graduation in GA, racially mixed, yes loud. Reason being, these kids went through almost half of their HS life in COVID. They started and ended with the same amount of children from 9 - 12th grade. And almost the MOST money in scholarships in the city. Yeah it was LOUD AND WONDERFUL. I think our party was the loudest. My BFF from the USN, had passed away in her grandtwins Junior year. Their mom called me and her hometown BFF to be SURROGATE GRANDMOTHERS for them When their names were called I CRIED MY EYES OUT. SAYING LOOK LOOK THEY MADE IT AND I'M HERE FOR YOU. I CRIED THE ENTIRE CEREMONY FOR MY FRIEND WATCHING FROM HEAVEN. ONLY CHILD, ONLY GRANDCHILDREN. NOT having biological children and asked to be a SURROGATE GRANDMOTHER, YOU KNOW I WAS LOUD

for many families (many families) high school graduation is still a momentus occassion as even in the 2000s, some parents don't finish high school for whatever reasons. it's the send off to adulthood that we celebrate as well as the accomplishment itself. black families are going to turn up so don't waste your breath. i turned up at my son's army basic training graduation at ft. benning and at ft gordon individual graduation and I DID NOT CARE WHO HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

He is not lying. My Mother on my Grandpa side is a Johnson. Great Grandpa Frank Johnson lived to be 90. I remember when I was younger our uncles had to take the keys from him when he got up in age when he accidentally ran into the house. Of course the house got fixed. No one hurt. Amen. Shout out to Cleveland TN, Detroit, Washington, Ga, Arizona, Cousin in California, the list is long. The part when he said pulled out the food baked beans, Cousin Becky collard greens for we love some greens, etc.... in the middle of the graduation. Also got a cousin who sell plates at the school games. Him & his family need to come to a family reunion, wedding, family gathering will have them laughing. The Seniors in the family are the funniest. When they gather to look at football & basketball. You already know it be so funny. All you got to do is sit back grab a plate you gonna laugh. You gonna eat. You don't eat meat. Well got salads. When I last seen my cousins they said you bring a cake Kenya. Not this time. I will get that oldest daughter in there to bake one Thanksgiving. Show her how to make them home made cakes. I use to sell cakes in my 20's. Blessed year to all for the New Year is around the corner. Amen.

LOL reminds me of the sports day for my great niece. The march past commenced and there was polite applause as each class went by. Until my my niece's class. Our family erupted into screaming clapping and cheering and the principal visibly jumped,there was laughter all around when she said into the microphone "I'll remember that!""
