Wellington man says granddaughter singled out because of her skin color

A Wellington man explains to WPTV how he believes his granddaughter was singled out by another man in a confrontation that he believes has to do with the color of her skin.

[@leonc4657]

He was trying so hard to not call it racism

[@sheiswhitney]

He really. Just call a spade a spade. That old white man is a racist.

[@stacyeandrew2]

That world is losing its sting and he knows it. There may also be underlying issues with this neighbor who he is having to live with. And he wants to make sure it’s not washed under the rug as just more racism. You will never get rid of it. If you go to any country you will find native people who do not want outsiders there. It’s no different here except it’s from outsiders?? We r all outsiders here except for the native Americans. It’s just sad he had to experience this. But this man can see that this is one incident in years and years . He was otherwise happy. So it’s not prevalent. But it does happen. And it’s a sore spot for the black Americans. See white people deal with Karen’s all the time but we blow it off as nosy nellies. But when the black Americans deal with it even if it’s just a nosy Nellie and she isn’t racist that is how it FEELS. And that is sad.

@@MrOu83 He can also not be worried about what you think. You are just like the white people you curse. Always expecting rage and noise. This man spoke clearly and was strong in what he said. Your comment is annoying. He was to the point. He showed conviction. He showed love for his family. You want him to act aggressive so that the mob come to him and terrorize his family? Maybe you need to step back and think!!! Black people need to talk in code. He was speaking in code and I heard him clearly. We don't have to share everything with our oppressors. Damn! We don't even have to share with our own kind. Some of you can't be trusted.

Of course they are demons!!! Demonic entities.

[@staceysing4263]

This man is very respectable... It called it out in more ways than one. In a language that those that need to hear it. Sometimes you have to know how to speak the language of the people you trying to reach. He is NOT acting off of emotions.. Which is hard for the majority of us.

[@bentleyj02]

Thank you! Someone said it!

[@Indigenousinsight]

Generally, when people say, “I’ll be honest...” it means they are lying. HOWEVER, in this case, he is struggling to override his programming and training to give white people the benefit of the doubt and it’s hurtful for him. That’s why he had to watch the video so many times he’s looking for another reason for the man’s actions. It’s the end of the world as he has known it and he just woke up.

[@TSEllis-rj4js]

My thoughts exactly. What happen to the boys who ran off and left the girls to fend for themselves. 😐

[@Reggieprince6363]

Yea I'm sure they ran cause they knew they was probably in even more danger that's what those videos do to kids it wasn't right but can you blame them? I kinda think if the guys stayed it probably would have gotten worse.

[@msohwell88]

I thi k the boys would have been more of a target for rage.

[@kristalspears8998]

YESSS because those boys knew that that man was out of his mind and their very lives were at stake. Sad fact and reality of how our children have to be in this world. THIS is why people are protesting. You can think or believe what you like, that's your choice, but what you CANNOT do is mistreat people because of your bias.

Why is this man so naive!!! it's racism he's experiencing, c'mon brother! i take that back!! ' no mo' talk!

[@ludy41]

You are naive to think he does not understand. This brother clearly is wealthy, educated and has a position where he needs to stay calm. He spoke louder than someone shouting and cursing.

[@KeninBoulder]

That is a great point. It's is not so much for Nelson to calm down, but for that racist guy to be educated.

[@Mona-ue5uk]

Wellington is a classy guy! He's not afraid. He's just trying to unpacked his situation and his experiences. If he knows one thing!!! He knows he is a black man. This man is trying to speak as eloquently about this situation. As black people we try to avoid this crap over & over again!!! I thank God for his response. Racism never go away. Racism isn't the black man's family its the racist neighbor problem.

I credit this gentleman and applaud him for having 10 times more self control and situational insight than I could ever muster if I lived to be 100 and had studied under the worlds philosophical greats. The guy who was bothering; well, let’s be honest, assaulting these children is what’s wrong with the world. This gentleman is what’s right with it. Patience, courage and pride. Aw crap, now I want him for president.

[@TraciJehan]

If he had just said "it was because she is Black", this type of dialog would not happen. We NEED these type of Socratic thought processes. He's making people THINK about what is going on instead of giving racially charged sound bites that just incites rage and anger.

[@MorganMingo70]

Are you serious? Calling a spade a spade doesn't make US racist, contrary to the gaslighters who claim it, and it certainly isn't the cause for the racism. That is something within those people that needs to be addressed/called out by one of their own. It's not enough to not be racist! You have to actively call it out when you see it!

[@emilylove1114]

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. What’s in your heart will manifest in your actions. He automatically assumed the black girl didn’t belong in the neighborhood. 2020 and people still act like we living in 1950 and 1960 segregated. Well I am pretty sure he doesn’t have Jesus in his heart and works for the devil 👿 so one day he will meet his maker👿

And imagine how it must hurt, to realize that even that he had work hard to get there in this neighbourhood, the colour of the skin is still the thing that matters the most to this raging old idiot. Excuse my french. This is a proud man and it is clear that he is hurt by this.
