I'm not, his dad looked super uncomfortable

🤦🏾

She's mean

It's super uncomfortable yet super necessary.

His poor dad. My goodness.

@@maryfields877 not saying that I would go that far as Jerrod did but his dad is a piece of sh*t,…..and as a person who also had a POS for a father, I have little to no sympathy for the dad. Shouldn’t have had a whole other family and told DECADES worth of lies 🤷🏽‍♀️

I can understand Jerrod’s pain but why torture his poor dad? Two wrongs don’t make a right.

​@@johnhagans2190he looked like he was being held hostage in that van and told not to look left or right lol it was very uncomfortable and jerrod did not make it easier.

❤❤❤❤

Please try to learn about grace. I'm older than both you and Jerrod and have suffered many of the same judgements and abuse. I'm private too and so, do NOT agree with airing our private affairs in front of them folks. They are treacherous and many a black walk directly into their traps. On rare occasion, myself as well. I have lived in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Please know that our God spirit provides love on this planet, even if we may have to travel far to experience it. Love is also present here in the LOST USA. I am not an optimist. When I examine the totality of human suffering worldwide, I feel less happy. I divorced my parents decades ago, but I wish them well and have MOSTLY let them and a few of the trials go. Ask god to help you find love elsewhere. I think I have some peace because I know my parents loved me, but their limited life experience precluded their development of compassion. Be easy on yourself first and then your family. I am highly educated and well traveled. I KNOW them folks in America are lost, even though they appear to have power. Funny thing is I have very little materially, but they are incredibly INTIMIDATED by me. Go figure. Your comments struck me because we have much in common. I just want you to know that there is love here NOW. We only have to accept the way God brings it to us. Sometimes that is NOT our family. I've seen many a face light up when they see me. They recognize I am God's manifestation of good on this earth. One of many, just like YOU. Kind regards my friend! With love.

Yes

She’s a Christian. His lifestyle is a sin as per her faith. She’s merely explaining that even if he were the worst type of sinner, she would still love him. If you watch the series, she compromises her faith plenty for him. She even invites his boyfriend into her home with hugs multiple times. But Jerrod can’t meet her halfway. She must denounce her faith at age70 for him to be happy.

Black people.... what do you expect?

I'm curious what bias you thought Tamron brought? I'm glad she asked questions many of us thought while watching. I'm glad he is in a freer place on his journey, but if he really wants a relationship with his family he has to remember relationships require both people to make efforts. He isolated himself from his family as a form of protection first (understandably so) and now that he has given himself the time and space he needed to love and accept himself for who he is he has to do the same for his family. He has to love and accept them for who they are (not who he wishes them to be), meet them where they are, and give them time to grow & change. It takes time to build relationships and change takes baby steps. But if both make continued efforts the relationship can heal and hearts can change.

Jerrod is very manipulative I’ve noticed. We see it many times in his series, towards his 3 friends, towards his boyfriend etc. He genuinely thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room. Tamron sees through his superficial charm and tried to push for a less rehearsed interview. That’s exactly what he needs because otherwise he’ll just go around pushing a false sob story.

​@@jakestroll6518I feel this too I know a narcissist when I see one. As someone who is also gay I just don't buy it it rubbed me the wrong way the way he treated his friends.

I agree. It's as though she felt the need to counter-punch!

Ms. Hall's show is on our screens, a few Emmy awards later, largely due to her journalistic chops. Journalists are supposed to ask hard and uncomfortable questions. If you felt uncomfortable, it means that she has done her job.

I can tell you didn’t watch his series. It wasn’t worth it because relationships that were healing by the end ofthe series have now been destroyed, not because he’s gay but the show. His parents are cool with his boyfriend by the end of the series. He has violated them in other ways. He’s included an issue that he was explicitly asked not to include by his father. He’s included scenes of extreme promiscuity, including a now open gay relationship where they both sleep with strangers from apps. He’s constantly seen taking mushrooms. There is no good parent on earth that would be ok with what he aired. So the question “was the paycheck worth losing your family” is very apt here.

What documentary? You didn’t watch jack did you? it was an 8 episode reality show not a documentary. Lol. Liars everywhere.

@@jakestroll6518 Per the HBO app that I watched it on.... Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show is a darkly funny DOCUMENTARY series about Jerrod's tumultuous quest for love, sex, and truth. SO PLEASE SHUT THE F*CK UP.

@@jakestroll6518 no one said it wasn't a reality series. But it is also a documentary. If you watched it, you would know that. It is listed in the description.

@@jakestroll6518 per the HBO site : Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show is a darkly funny DOCUMENTARY series about Jerrod's tumultuous quest for love, sex, and truth. So please STFU.

Are you talking about the HBO show? I am. I felt sad for the way the young blacks think it is okay to live their lives out loud, NOT realizing that them folks LOVE to ridicule US, especially when we do it to ourselves. He is naive and ignorant.

Stop watching him. He doesn't have to change due to YOUR discomfort. Who do you think you are?

@@peachesandpoets To be clear, I do not have any discomfort. Thanks.

I am not sure about that thought. Freedom of speech.

Grow up.

@@jakestroll6518Just because people don’t agree with your sins doesn’t make them homophobic or afraid of the sinner. Their fear is of God. Who gave us life and set the standard for us to live by. And we Christians would rather be pleasing to God than man (not even for our own children), because at the end of the day that’s who has the last say. Nuns are not Biblical. His mother knows what she is doing. Her son is the one lost. Would you follow a lost person willingly? Why would she follow him and conform to his ways when God has given us commandments to keep. The world has convinced you that this is ok, but you and the rest of us will be judged by God when it’s all said and done. I’d rather be in right standings with God when that day comes. Maybe you don’t believe in God, or you believe what you want to believe about God, regardless to what you believe Jesus is coming back and those who don’t believe and do his will, will find themselves in an eternal hell. And the way I see it, nothing on this earth is worth dying and going to hell for. Selah

@@nimo4503 Are you stupid? Read the comment I responded to very slowly. Infact get a thinking person to explain it to you because it seems English is difficult to you. The person is attacking the mother and saying Jerrod shouldn't have to forgive her bigotry. And I'm saying grow up because in this life, we are going to disagree and forgiving the self-righteous pharisees that persecute you while pretending to be sinless, is part of life. Forgiving harmful parents is part of growing up. Learning to let Christ do the talking is part of growing up and so let me just that you NIMO4503 should also grow up!
