Lean on Me Clip 1

[@6oclocknewsat8]

"If you don't succeed, I don't want you to blame your parents. I don't want you to blame "the white man". I want you to blame yourselves. It's YOUR responsibility." That's incredible! Most kids nowadays live in a fantasy world where they want to blame everyone but themselves. Well said, Mr. Clark. RIP sir! 🕊

[@jamespoledna2693]

Damn right!

[@stephaniecollazo1510]

But that's true

[@NoOneGetzOutAlive]

Yeah! You tell em, white boy!

[@orvillemeadows3492]

I blame the white man

[@maninfire219]

He made points

[@cookielove8174]

Kenisha was so me in school assembly 😯 "Mr Clark don't play" (when he around I be quite, but when he leave I'll be talking again ~ Smokey)

[@naiahspencer6290]

Notice how this is early in the movie but at 3:00 when he says crime, drugs and death the camera goes on Kid Ray

[@jamespoledna2693]

"You are here for one reason, one reason only,: to learn!"

[@mariobryant8803]

Mr. Clark should've had security at all the doors especially when that expelled student came in with that knife.

[@ATCguy1973]

How Morgan Freeman didn't win an Oscar for this role is beyond me

[@kassygold6543]

I love this movie wow my child hood movie 😀😀 thanks for uploading it

[@StukInBuf]

And said bum says, "I'm going to the Air Force, man!" They probably looked at his record, and rejected him, which led to his coming back to beat up on Kid Ray.

[@ihatefacebook31184]

SuperPat88 actually, kid Ray owed him money

[@kettch777]

He wouldn't have made it through boot camp anyway. They don't put up with that kind of crap in the military, any branch. Even the Coast Guard.

[@dakkuri1]

@@kettch777 back then, nowadays they might.

[@iceman1272]

He was was not trying to go to the air force 😂

[@Danirey02]

“I’m going to the airforce man” said the drug dealing thug lol smh

[@Dee_Nice89]

danirey02 that was hilarious 😂😂😂😂

[@gregboyd5653]

Dave Daniels air Force my ass

[@Dee_Nice89]

Greg Boyd they don't take drug dealers in the air force anyway lmao

[@alfonsogreen2722]

He was full of shit

[@weldingstacks787]

Wasn't about selling drugs he was a repeat senior so he cld have been left and went to the airforce

[@brentduanefoster]

When a school is in disarray like Eastside was, THIS is how you lay a new foundation.

[@jukedar]

This is the real President we need in the White House

[@liberalmadness7248]

Ok? The average SJW democrat voter would have a heart when they hear “don’t blame the white man”. 🙄

[@jukedar]

@@liberalmadness7248 No Im am going to blame Mr Omalleys executive committee. I mean yes they were helpful to the drug dealers, because the dealers were not so good with math and were losing a ton of money and they had to learn the difference between a quarter pound and a half pound

[@angelacharles3620]

you are so right it is this man

[@stevestringer7351]

Morgan Freeman? He might would be a good president.... one thing is for sure, he would both well out to pelosi and the Nazis. He doesn't believe in excuses.... He believes in results. Now, if you meant crazy Joe as president.... we already have one of those and it's not going so well.

[@YTW-rw6pr]

We did he let a comet hit earth

[@StukInBuf]

Oh, how he gives them the Italian kiss-off before kicking them out.

[@SystemSyko]

Hahahahaha I love how the Candy man holds on to that bum at 0:42.

[@c8a6lvin]

It was funny how the security guards spun Thomas Sams around from 0:46 - 0:52.

[@good03boy]

Didn't Sams get dizzy from all that spinning?

[@specterman2000]

Isn't it strange how these punks refuse to learn anything yet they don't want to leave the School?!

[@WWAHP]

lol

[@nathanbradford6967]

Goid question, I think it was a way to feel good about their shitty lives. By bullying

[@loissimmons6558]

It was also a place for the punks to make money by selling drugs and contraband, and shaking down others.

[@andromedaredtails1770]

Your life hasn't made one bit of difference, and neither has mine!!! You want to take that to the grave?!

[@tpuccia88]

Holy shit -- I didn't know Michael Imperioli (Christopher Moltisanti) was in this!!

[@dennismisovski9932]

Ha ha I just seen that for the first time, watched this movie 30 times.

[@delvintownsend3587]

Great movie classic

[@caroleastmond9064]

Great Actors!!!💝🎉

[@Chicagoathletics]

“The responsibility is yours”……. What a concept

[@divisioneight]

Was that "Christopher" from the Sopranos on stage there?

[@bellzatch12]

divisioneight yes it was, I paused the scene where they're on stage and it's really him with the brown hair and blue jacket.

[@megamanj2004X]

Sure is! Check out the long brown mullet on him.

[@ashleyshort6141]

Long before he got shot in the foot

[@mattbartolovich8228]

yup

[@caisersoze2003]

Yes, 1st appearance in a film

[@jgivenspontiac]

Thats crazy how they had all those security guards but when the boy was beating up Kid Ray there was no security around lmao

[@victorcolon1454]

The polite way to say "Get your dumb asses out of here!" to 300 bad teens.

[@jasonsprague3860]

"I don't this school I'm going into the air force man how much money you make you ain't nobody man you ain't nobody money Ima get you man"..lol I'm sure the Air Force welcomed him with open arms...that guy probably couldn't even SPELL Air Force...

[@KenDaKingArrives]

Not long after this, he sneaked back in to assault Kid Ray, and when Clark found him he tried to run but was blocked off from the exit by Sams' quick thinking. He got his ass kicked by Clark, then arrested. He didn't even get to apply for the Air Force 😂

[@joymosley8997]

You ain't nuthin money lol.

[@tw5139]

Tell it to the Air Force Mayonnaise, tell it to the Air Force!

[@Advoc8te4Truth]

Lean on Me was and is the most powerful depiction of overcoming adversity ever depicted on screen. And similarly to Remember the Titans the success of those depicted on screen wasn't because of their ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual identity or socioeconomic background?! It was the unity that comes when people come together in a common cause and united vision of a better outcome for everyone. No government handouts, no affirmative hires no placing the blame on the white man just people taking responsibility and determining to do whatever is necessary to succeed!

[@metalgrinch]

**principal of an elementary school and high school civics teacher for a good number of years** "Your life hasn't made one bit of difference, it's like you were never born!" A teacher's life in a nutshell.

[@valuecalc]

Chris from the Sopranos was kicked out of high school. His bushy hair didn't help mattets, either. Why is it so hard to visit a barber shop?

[@MichaelBrookham]

I'll be his ghost: BOO!! Joe. lol

[@jman4real871]

0:39 Did that guy say, "I don't need your school, I'm going to the Air Force"!?!?

[@jjohnson6406]

I watch this scene just to hear the girl at the end.

[@meyerj75]

What happened to the earlier auditorium scenes before the speech where one of the audience students mentions "Now's the time to flash some cash" or something.

[@M_D93]

I just found out this scene took place on Christmas Eve. I thought there was no school in the holidays.

[@joymosley8997]

Mic drop

[@disguy41]

Why did that guy have to say I'm joining the Air Force lol

[@darleneslaughter4734]

That’s what needs to happen in these bad neighborhoods.

How is he going to go into the Air Force without a high school diploma?

[@caj1119]

Good point. He should try the Navy, apparently they don't require a high school diploma or GED anymore. I am not sure any branch of the military would want that joker anyway though, not even to mop the floors.
