We just witnessed the epitome of what is meant by the term, A Real Man”! This Father is intelligent, mentally agile when fielding questions from journalists, protective of his wife and children, a business owner and provider, supports his community and leads by example. Hats off to his lovely wife that stood by her man and trusted him to lead the family in the right direction. This was beautiful to watch. We need to see more Black men represented in a positive light.
I hope most black men are watching how this brotha ain't no ignorant thug. The way you look and present yourself tells a lot about you and this man sets the example for his family. Most people are just ignorant with excuses.
We are here, they’ve been our story tellers for too long. They only want to show us in a “negative light” . Let’s tell our OWN stories of TRUTH!💯🙏🏾✌🏾✊🏾
A great example of a man, a father, leading his family and advocating for his sons as a protector does. This is what happens when you mess with the “right” family. Very proud moment.
He is an example of why they continue to destroy the melanated family unit by drugs and guns in communities, mass incarceration, abortion, lack of education/ opportunities, police killings of our men, etc
Maybe if he had followed the rules and not advertised the party on social media, attracting far too many attendees for the venue to support they could have had a nice party for their children. Instead they decided to provoke a negative situation and are now trying to profit from it. Things that make you go: Hmmm.
@@derekd1510 They "decided?" It's not a conspiracy LOL. And what's this about "profit?" They just want their money back which is not unreasonable. If anyone conspired here it was the park and the shady way they are not being transparent about their reasons for not upholding THEIR END of the contract. THAT is an illegal practice. And nothing in the contract prevents the customer from letting other people know on social media about THEIR PARTY BECAUSE IT'S THEIR PARTY THAT THEY PAID FOR.

@@jowhit226 FACTS clearly Derek wasn't paying attention to the press conference SMDH we wouldn't be seeing this if it was a white family having a swim party they would've been very comfortable if they were white teens
This dad is so smart and makes so much sense. I love how he's able to break the whole situation down without being emotional. He's a great example of how to gain respect while being level-headed to all the youth who think they need to pick up a gun to gain respect, which they don't.
Those are the 2/3rds of IsRael lost for a lack of knowledge of The Most High God. Those are the ones that will pick up a sword gun. We are the people of the Bible. That is our history. Not Christians they lied to everyone.
Yes, he did it without displaying emotion. As I have heard other commenters say, we, especially our men, look weak when we break down crying openly before evil racist. I agree that if emotions are felt, they should be displayed in private.
They messed with the wrong family they’re about as wholesome as the Brady bunch. The city isn’t going to be able to Paint them as trouble makers a problem waiting to happen. The parents even hired extra security guards on their own accord to make sure everyone was safe.
This family is awesome. You're right there is no drama with this family. The park messed up. Unlike this wonderful family I'm going there. Sue their asses!! That part
That’s cute and all but none of that matters. They agreed to 250 people and no social media advertising for the event and they did just that. They didn’t RENT out the ENTIRE park. They agreed to 250 to take into account for other guests not at the party. This is unbelievable. It’s not that difficult of a situation to explain. I hope he’s doing this on his own dime cuz it’s all a waste.
Thank you, sir, for setting this matter straight! Lee Summit tried to establish a false narrative, but you didn’t let that fly! Your family deserved more and you made that happen. 🙌
This Dad right here is EVERYTHING!!! Stand Up!!! Well spoken and versed. Stood up for his family and community like a real man should. Bravo and Good luck! This will definately go well for them and I'm sure help to relieve some racial ignorance in that City.
@@hellaSwankkyToo Sorry, who do you think I'm protecting? Also, "trying to start some", start some what? Do you even know how to complete a thought or even a sentence? Also, I did think the original post was an overreaction. You may want to put down the Hypnotic before attempting to comment effectively. Is English your first language?
My man! Started with honoring his family. Eloquently stated the problem. Gave facts including math. Put their hate on blast. Praised all the attendees and stated your standards with visitors to your home. Clearing stated a path to a remedy. Bruh, you are a true Black man! Your wife is proud and so are your children…I KNOW it! Way to exemplify our majesty. It’s no wonder your kids are exemplary. Chadwick Boseman would be proud. Keep being a king and protecting the ones you love and not budging in the face of their hate!
This was not about race. They are using race as an excuse for their actions. They promoted the party on social media which was against the contract. And brought double the amount of people they originally stated they would. It was a safety issue which is why the employee was uncomfortable. They did not have enough security.
@@kayt4019 yet on their website they promote a large group 250 to 1400. If you are so ignorant to believe that if this was a white family they would have turned them away and not got paid more. Then you yourself are part of the problem.
@@kayt4019 Quote the part of the contract that allows the water park to advertise the same events on social media while preventing customers from inviting their friends on social media. According to the video there was no such thing in the contract. I'll wait for you to retrieve that "information" but I won't be holding my breath.
I love the statement the dad made. An apology is an introduction to a conversation. I agree black parents don't drop there kids off anywhere without getting the particulars. I too have black sons and would lay on my couch fully clothed when they were out until age 25. It's a shame in 2022 we still don't feel safe. I applaud these parents for standing up for there the right way.
5:36 I cringed when the dad talked that "black and brown" and lgbtq nonsense. This is happening to black folks. These other groups align themselves most of the time with white society against black people.
@@bewareofsasquatch They didn't break any contract! They weren't even THERE for the party yet when LS Waves decided to cancel the reservation! They looked at the social media response and after decades of people RSVPing "I'll be there" and not showing up, they decided to cancel the reservation based on their own assumptions and prejudice of the entire situation! If they had just waited and talked to the family they probably would have paid the extra $200 to cover of any extra people happened to show, but if even the POLICE said there were not 500 kids there, then they did NOT break any contract! They created their own possible bad situation with their own actions, but like this father said, the way it turned out says EVERYTHING about who these teens are and how they were raised.
@@jlmoss5154 I'm sure you do share those racist sentiments they just didn't want a large group of black teens having a party there that's what made them so uncomfortable I suppose it makes you feel the same way too.
Blatantly and crystal clear of "what" this is at it's best. This man broke it down completely for defending his case. Prayers that you and your family break the bank of Lee's Summit.
They need to be boycotted it's so funny how people want to show their racism I still want their business to be patronized. The employees felt uncomfortable how uncomfortable will you feel when you lose revenue.
I’m so happy for these children. They have an intelligent, loving and supportive father and mother, under the same roof! The benefits are priceless. They’re accomplished because of involved parents. God Bless you ALL ❤️💕
@@derekd1510 They "decided?" It's not a conspiracy. And what's this about "profit?" They just want their money back which is not unreasonable. There are many details that are not mentioned in this particular video, but they tried multiple times weeks before hand to reach out to the park to let them know they wanted to bring more people and the park did not respond back.
@11:19 The rationale he gave behind how could they possibly be able to distinguish current from arriving patrons was my favorite part of the interview. There was yet another lesson in his explanation. I hope the press caught that.
Park ckd they accommodate 500? If so there s a broken contract? I got in trouble at ochelata w 400 whites and police and town flipped out. This is petty infantalizing parents. Tsk tsk. My dad and mom kicked nm ass. Btw

You hire, vet the right people; no training is needed beyond the general training. Once a person has fear, anxiety, prejudice based on race, you are wasting your money trying to retrain them. On another note. This father did a master class for his kids on how to embarrass the media dumb question and the parks position without emotions. Normally the lawyer takes all the questions. Bravo brother. Lee Summit is about to get dragged.
Excuse me but then the father just say that the park had access to his son's phone and email but wait didn't he pay for it and they tried to contact him you know why would you try to contact somebody else that didn't pay for the event or they all just brain dead
@@apleatherworking9952 Research further! These kids reportedly raised $2,000 of their own money for this event. That could well explain why a son's cell and email was provided.

The father said the park contacted his business phone number on the day the business was closed. The park had his wife's number too and her email but did not contact her to cancel the party.

If that was really the problem than she could of cut off the extra alleged guest from coming in, and capped it at 250. Stop making excuses for racist. The father clearly stated the park's capacity is 600.
They paid for a party for 250 people and invited 500 people which was concerned for safety. Go kiss some black asses that deserve it who just want a paycheck. And maybe you should read the whole story before you make a comment like this.
The park already refunded their money. He didn’t rent the entire park. He’s acts like his guests are the only ones present in the park. He wanna talk numbers he shouldn’t have been talkin how much the entire park was if he wanted special treatment.
@@KillaCityKid427 You're missing the point! The refunded money does nothing to stop the park from discrimination. When companies start getting sued for discrimination, they train their employees to properly handle situations like this to prevent it from happening again.
I love how he spoke to the effects of how this has mentally impacted the black boys in his family and his wife as a mother of black boys in this community. Racism leaves scars that like he said, becomes weight carried on into their everyday lives. I pray for healing for him and his family, and I hope this strengthens these young men in mind, body and spirit.

This father handled this situation masterfully and I'm so glad that their family and guests offered this establishment NO reasons to deny entrance after having found out the party was canceled. This makes the staff's intentions even more obvious.
@FAXandSTATSareknottWaYcIsT Copying and pasting the same moot agrument doesn't change the fact this family is about to get paid! And I love that it makes you very very upset 🤣
@FAXandSTATSareknottWaYcIsT Absolutely not true. No establishment has the right to discriminate. Particularly to them being uncomfortable. Stop trying to rationalize and confirm your own bias. Oh and add something that your kind can understand. Fu yourself. You are the true creature
Thank you for speaking out so eloquently and for standing up for your young men. They clearly have bright futures ahead of them and even more so for the example that you and your wife set with this press conference and for encouraging their involvement in sports and charities.
To the father: you have a wonderful family and it is easy to see why your boys turned out great. It is you and your wife! You are a well mannered dad who is involved with your kids, you have steered them well. Kudos to you for your hard work over the years. I'm certain it will pay off in the end and those young men will no doubt have a great future. You are well spoken, articulate and much calmer about the situation as I probably would have been. Best of luck, I hope everything works out the best for you and your wonderful family. Shame on the city staff!
Black people don't do well gathering together. Everytime a group of black people get together something ugly always happens and the record shows it ...be honest with yourself and stop playing victim. You can be on the moon and look down and see where the black people are just look for the yellow tape and blinking lights...he spoke about training staff, how about we teach each other how to behave in public..it's disgraceful .
You for forgot, "Articulate." Your comment is racist and reeks of Microaggression - You may have thought it to be innocent however, we are forced to be multilingual in order to be accepted in a land stolen from us by your forefathers. Next time, just keep your comments to yourselves. We know who we are and; what we have to do to integrate into Babylonian-AmerKKKa.

Did this family and guests violate any contract agreements? NO. Did the teen guests or adult escorts behave disorderly despite extreme disappointment over the denied entrance? NO. We’re there 500 people waiting to enter this venue? Police reported NO. Each one of those teens present that day need to be compensated as well. This ‘Karen type’ had already determined to ruin this party based on her ‘feeling uncomfortable’. Gee, perhaps another place of employment would suit her better. Addicted to hate, such a miserable heart.
My cultural wisdom and instinct can definitely tell these are well raised respectful and well educated kids...our enemy can't see or determine a good kid from our culture
If I may, the myriad of comments stating that this man and his family are "well spoken" and children "well mannered" speaks volumes. Ask yourself why would your expectation of them be any less....
@@stephaniealveranga9914 This video might be a day old. I saw on a DIFFERENT video that they were refunded.

Go live so the world can see THERE'S NO REASON TO BE "UNCOMFORTABLE" .
@@Ubiquitous138 y’all are so typical. Always the keyboard warriors with the most to say. It would hurt too much to say, that everything he said was valid based on their perception of the incident. The fact that his children are law abiding, make good grades, have had no brushes with the law, are athletic and apparently on their way to colleges would hurt too much to comment on. What did he say that would make anybody feel UNCOMFORTABLE? He wasn’t acting hood/ghetto. His family sat quietly, he spoke very clearly, answered all of the questions asked of him. Yet the two of you found something negative to say instead. You both just proved the point he is trying to make. There needs to be some type of change in this world. It’s so amazing to me that the (uncomfortable) ppl are always the ones with the problem. Yet you both have decided that this family is playing victim. Make it make sense…
It takes a village. If dads not there it falls to others. He ain't the only one in their lives. I want you to stand toe to toe who lost their father's as infants in WWII and tell them it was their dad's responsibility to teach them how to be responsible. We are all in this together folks, act like it.
I saw this original story on Indisputable w/Dr. Richey. Thank you Mr. Evans for representing your family in such a well spoken, calm tone. What's threatening about this family or the boy's friends, other than being black? Now Lee's Summit will have to pay this family because of an entitled Karen.
Very proud of the leadership this man has taken for his family. He explained the situation for the community very well. Great thought to make sure he hired enough security beyond what the park would provide. The city has to do better.
Great job dad! You and your wife done a great job raising your sons you can tell what good kids they are by the way they display themselves. This is so important that you are doing this because this nation, the US needs to make some changes and this is how people learn.
You did the the right thing speaking out. This shouldn't have ever happened to your boys and family. As much as this situation has happened over the last few years, it's pure ignorance and cruel for any employee to still have racist behavior. You did good calling them out this way. Know that your family is being supported by so many good people. God always takes care of the righteous and the Bible says, Vengeance is Mine Sayeth the Lord. And He ISN'T RACIST. My prayers are with you and your family.
Love the way the father let it be known that smart responsible children are not an anomaly in the black community nor is parents making calls concerning where their children will be. Good luck, and don't hold your breath on training the racism out of racists
The question regarding him explaining that about them shouldn't have even been brought up. Even if they had the worst GPAs, this shouldn't have happened. Unless a certain GPA and certain level of community involvement is required to reserve the park...
Yes, I would accept the company's apology along with a few million dollars for the pain and suffering, discrimination, and the embarrassment my family had to endured.
His lawyer loves him and appreciates his articulation. When there is synergy you can do anything. If anybody runs across the resolution or disposition of this case in the future please drop the link in these comments. Bless and Respect.
I smiled all the way through this interview. This is what a strong black man looks like and I am so proud of him. I am also proud of his wife for sitting there and allowing her husband to lead. The kids were well behaved and I am glad he gave their accolades. We see so many times on television young men that are problems and it is good to showcase those who are not. I hope they get a good outcome from this. Good luck to the family.
The parents even paid for extra security so you know they were being responsible, but dumb people on here keep saying 500. It was for 250 who in advance and never made it the gate .
@You, Me, and Humanity except you missed the part where the park cancelled the party 2 hours before this group of “500” supposedly showed up.

PLEASE FIGHT BACK!!!!! A similar situation happened to my family in 2011 in Florida. Our family was evicted from a resort for no reason (other than being black). Some of us were sleep, some of us had not arrived yet. We had been there less than 24 hours when the sheriff came to evict us. Use us as a case study “BONLYDIA JONES -WALTON VS LAKE EVE RESORT” We sued all parties involved including the Sheriff’s department. “ ALL 250 attendees who were denied access has a potential claim! It was 60 of us.. SMH…..still happening in 2022.
I lived in Lee’s Summit, MO for over 20 years and the sad part is the racial bias has not changed and unfortunately the racial issue is conditional minded to the younger mind and the adults are the ones who decide to train biased attitudes towards race! It’s super sad they are still discriminating in 2022. I am praying for this family for the justice they deserve. My Son still lives Lee’s Summit, MO with his wife and my two granddaughters and he was pulled over while being black, the cop said…oh, you looked suspicious. Keep in mind all races pay taxes to live in Lee’s Summit, MO. So stop the discrimination because it’s wrong at all cost. It’s hurtful when we are doing the “right” thing and then penalized for it. Enough is simply enough. They did their homework and that a golden standard in my book.
Not sure how Lee’s Summit is, but 99 percent of the time when there are big group fights at places like these…. Malls. Etc. It’s ALWAYS blacks. Young blacks are a huge reason business go under and areas go down. Not even the good ones want to be around their BS.

If your race wants to do better, quit living up to the stereotype you have. There is a reason most blacks make up the prison population, and it’s not because of racism.

Not to sure about this one....the white women at the pool said "I don't feel comfortable"...maybe because of the quest limit. Which would 250...they say the family had 500 quest. IDK
@@user-kv3ut6pv4b Yea, but per their own Social Media Page, the park is used to hosting more than 1000 guests at one time. So there's that. Apparently, you did NOT watch the video.

I'm glad the family spoke up about the 500 people claim. I read the comments on another TH-cam channel about the 500 people. Even though the video didn't pan the people waiting, one could tell there wasn't even close to 100 people waiting and that the police body language wasn't one of handling out of control people. The park already had people in their park and I 'm sure they wouldn't go over their limit of customers. It's a shame when the park takes $2,000+ for a party then their Karen employee decides not to let the people enter.
They were advertising a “splash blast” on social media (against contract) and they were getting phone calls from parents asking how much ? They basically were going to charge per person on their own
@@topher3178 It probably would have been smart to say that at the time of the denial to the park. Instead she chose to say she felt uncomfortable. She made herself sound like a racist Karen. So that's her bad. When a group of minorities show up for a paid for party, the last thing you want to say on video, is you can't enter because I feel uncomfortable. Stupid people shouldn't be speaking for the park. If she had a legitimate legally binding reason to deny access, it would have served the park well for her to express that at the time, on video. But instead she looks like a racist white woman. So they get what they get.

He's a husband, father, business owner and protector of his loving wife and sons. He's a pillar of his community. He's well spoken and educated. Salute to this man! I hope they got an apology and the justice they want and deserve.💯
Ethical legal representation always necessary. Mr Evan represented his family in the highest regard. Thank you so much. Also, this situation exposed further after happening by Dr. R Richey... Best to all involved. 🙏❤👍
We may hear how Black Americans are treated in this country. We may see how Black Americans are treated in this country. But as White Americans we really have no idea what it's like to be Black in America. Peace
Speak for yourself clown. Watch the news for every major city every day and you see why 90%of the stereotypes fit for the black community. It's sad that the other 10% can't live life normal, or be looked at different (skim color) because the majority of their race destroys anything good and positive for the others
Yea ya'll do, but 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 "rights" are violated... protests... violence... segregation...republicans... Voting rights taken aback to the 1960's and before, politicians paying for candidates to win and gerrymandring,, need I go on? The latter does not affect whites unless they are poor.
I want to salute you you handle yourself like a king you handle yourself like a father and a family man what you show and how you carry yourself a lot of young men are missing that in their household I love the way you presented yourself as a black man appreciate you brother
We just witnessed the epitome of what is meant by the term, A Real Man”! This Father is intelligent, mentally agile when fielding questions from journalists, protective of his wife and children, a business owner and provider, supports his community and leads by example. Hats off to his lovely wife that stood by her man and trusted him to lead the family in the right direction.
This was beautiful to watch. We need to see more Black men represented in a positive light.
My sentiments exactly!!!
I’d be proud to have such a man lead my family.
I hope most black men are watching how this brotha ain't no ignorant thug. The way you look and present yourself tells a lot about you and this man sets the example for his family. Most people are just ignorant with excuses.

Maybe if he had followed the rules and not advertised the party on social media, attracting far too many attendees for the venue to support they could have had a nice party for their children. Instead they decided to provoke a negative situation and are now trying to profit from it. Things that make you go: Hmmm.

Yes, he did it without displaying emotion. As I have heard other commenters say, we, especially our men, look weak when we break down crying openly before evil racist. I agree that if emotions are felt, they should be displayed in private.
They messed with the wrong family they’re about as wholesome as the Brady bunch. The city isn’t going to be able to
Paint them as trouble makers a problem waiting to happen. The parents even hired extra security guards on their own accord to make sure everyone was safe.

That’s cute and all but none of that matters. They agreed to 250 people and no social media advertising for the event and they did just that. They didn’t RENT out the ENTIRE park. They agreed to 250 to take into account for other guests not at the party. This is unbelievable. It’s not that difficult of a situation to explain. I hope he’s doing this on his own dime cuz it’s all a waste.

My man! Started with honoring his family. Eloquently stated the problem. Gave facts including math. Put their hate on blast. Praised all the attendees and stated your standards with visitors to your home. Clearing stated a path to a remedy. Bruh, you are a true Black man! Your wife is proud and so are your children…I KNOW it! Way to exemplify our majesty. It’s no wonder your kids are exemplary. Chadwick Boseman would be proud.

This was not about race. They are using race as an excuse for their actions. They promoted the party on social media which was against the contract. And brought double the amount of people they originally stated they would. It was a safety issue which is why the employee was uncomfortable. They did not have enough security.
@@kayt4019 yet on their website they promote a large group 250 to 1400. If you are so ignorant to believe that if this was a white family they would have turned them away and not got paid more. Then you yourself are part of the problem.

I love the statement the dad made. An apology is an introduction to a conversation. I agree black parents don't drop there kids off anywhere without getting the particulars. I too have black sons and would lay on my couch fully clothed when they were out until age 25. It's a shame in 2022 we still don't feel safe.

Zena I stay prepared and stay in my clothes when I was custodians over my children.🥰🥰🥰🥰
The reality is ,,the biggest threat to your children is being shot by a black person .
Exactly!!!
My child was with me and her dad most of the time even as I teen I track my child and her friends always.
5:36 I cringed when the dad talked that "black and brown" and lgbtq nonsense. This is happening to black folks. These other groups align themselves most of the time with white society against black people.
She understood exactly what she said and she knew what she was saying. Loose financial pockets will teach her.
Actually the family broke the contract. Them getting kicked out was 100% justified.
@@bewareofsasquatch how did they break the contract
@@bewareofsasquatch They didn't break any contract! They weren't even THERE for the party yet when LS Waves decided to cancel the reservation! They looked at the social media response and after decades of people RSVPing "I'll be there" and not showing up, they decided to cancel the reservation based on their own assumptions and prejudice of the entire situation! If they had just waited and talked to the family they probably would have paid the extra $200 to cover of any extra people happened to show, but if even the POLICE said there were not 500 kids there, then they did NOT break any contract!
They created their own possible bad situation with their own actions, but like this father said, the way it turned out says EVERYTHING about who these teens are and how they were raised.
NaDine Rawls I wholeheartedly share your sentiments…
@@jlmoss5154 I'm sure you do share those racist sentiments they just didn't want a large group of black teens having a party there that's what made them so uncomfortable I suppose it makes you feel the same way too.

Accountable for what?
This begging for white acceptance needs too stop!
They need to be boycotted it's so funny how people want to show their racism I still want their business to be patronized. The employees felt uncomfortable how uncomfortable will you feel when you lose revenue.

@@Ubiquitous138 y’all are so typical. Always the keyboard warriors with the most to say. It would hurt too much to say, that everything he said was valid based on their perception of the incident. The fact that his children are law abiding, make good grades, have had no brushes with the law, are athletic and apparently on their way to colleges would hurt too much to comment on. What did he say that would make anybody feel UNCOMFORTABLE? He wasn’t acting hood/ghetto. His family sat quietly, he spoke very clearly, answered all of the questions asked of him. Yet the two of you found something negative to say instead. You both just proved the point he is trying to make. There needs to be some type of change in this world. It’s so amazing to me that the (uncomfortable) ppl are always the ones with the problem. Yet you both have decided that this family is playing victim. Make it make sense…
It takes a village. If dads not there it falls to others. He ain't the only one in their lives. I want you to stand toe to toe who lost their father's as infants in WWII and tell them it was their dad's responsibility to teach them how to be responsible.
We are all in this together folks, act like it.
🙏💯💯💯💯👍
When the dad said “community”he really meant community. Even the baseball team was going to be there.
If the contract said a community could attend then perhaps the number on the contract was going to be utilized.
I saw this original story on Indisputable w/Dr. Richey. Thank you Mr. Evans for representing your family in such a well spoken, calm tone. What's threatening about this family or the boy's friends, other than being black? Now Lee's Summit will have to pay this family because of an entitled Karen.
I'm a fan of Richey He's brought a lot of wrong to light.
I heard it on Indisputable, with Dr Richey too.

What a great man/father, he is teaching his sons to stand up for themselves in the best way possible. I have nothing but respect for him
You better say it FATHER!!!! Give the numbers!!! 💪🏾🎯🎯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I will say this I am praying for you and your family stay strong y’all have a beautiful family !!!!
Very proud of the leadership this man has taken for his family. He explained the situation for the community very well. Great thought to make sure he hired enough security beyond what the park would provide. The city has to do better.
Great job dad! You and your wife done a great job raising your sons you can tell what good kids they are by the way they display themselves. This is so important that you are doing this because this nation, the US needs to make some changes and this is how people learn.
You did the the right thing speaking out. This shouldn't have ever happened to your boys and family. As much as this situation has happened over the last few years, it's pure ignorance and cruel for any employee to still have racist behavior. You did good calling them out this way. Know that your family is being supported by so many good people. God always takes care of the righteous and the Bible says, Vengeance is Mine Sayeth the Lord. And He ISN'T RACIST. My prayers are with you and your family.
Do you know the entire story?
@@dallashoopz4133 do you?
@@natashaboyd1815 Do I what?
@@natashaboyd1815 Yeah I actually do. They canceled for legitimate reasons.

I feel so hurt for those boys. This whole thing has me upset. Good job mom and dad! Stand up for what’s right!
Love the way the father let it be known that smart responsible children are not an anomaly in the black community nor is parents making calls concerning where their children will be. Good luck, and don't hold your breath on training the racism out of racists
EXACTLY.
The question regarding him explaining that about them shouldn't have even been brought up. Even if they had the worst GPAs, this shouldn't have happened. Unless a certain GPA and certain level of community involvement is required to reserve the park...
Yes, I would accept the company's apology along with a few million dollars for the pain and suffering, discrimination, and the embarrassment my family had to endured.
That’s the happy ending we all want to see
Of course you would

Dad wasn't here for the nonsense. I love how he presented this case.

🔥⚡️ “... an apology is just an introduction to a conversation...” 🔥⚡️BAM!!
I smiled all the way through this interview. This is what a strong black man looks like and I am so proud of him. I am also proud of his wife for sitting there and allowing her husband to lead. The kids were well behaved and I am glad he gave their accolades. We see so many times on television young men that are problems and it is good to showcase those who are not. I hope they get a good outcome from this. Good luck to the family.
Well spoken…. This is wonderful
Very refreshing
The parents even paid for extra security so you know they were being responsible, but dumb people on here keep saying 500. It was for 250 who in advance and never made it the gate .
@You, Me, and Humanity except you missed the part where the park cancelled the party 2 hours before this group of “500” supposedly showed up. The dad clearly stated that there wasn’t that many ppl there for the party. Oh and that he hired extra security to make sure only 250 went in. So who looks like the “dum dumbs” here?
@You, Me, and Humanity it was 600 people leaving the park it was an event where the park would close to allow the people there to leave and then 250 people enter the park......
@@mzjuicywaters2158 They breached their contract....I saw a wedding case like this...and it was worse and all they got was a refund....despite her wedding being ruined....you can have another birthday but not a wedding
@You, Me, and Humanity I Saw the Actual video recorded when the cancellation happened. The Park Lied my dear. Only the parents, their children, and others were there, but it didn't even appear to be 25...because it was about an HOUR before the party was scheduled to start. The Police have already backed what the parents are saying about the numbers...the PARK LIED.
@@nothx512 How was there a breach of contract?
The family has to be made whole again. All black families have to be okay.

PLEASE FIGHT BACK!!!!! A similar situation happened to my family in 2011 in Florida. Our family was evicted from a resort for no reason (other than being black). Some of us were sleep, some of us had not arrived yet. We had been there less than 24 hours when the sheriff came to evict us. Use us as a case study “BONLYDIA JONES -WALTON VS LAKE EVE RESORT” We sued all parties involved including the Sheriff’s department. “ ALL 250 attendees who were denied access has a potential claim! It was 60 of us.. SMH…..still happening in 2022.
Thank you for speaking about this situation 🙏
I lived in Lee’s Summit, MO for over 20 years and the sad part is the racial bias has not changed and unfortunately the racial issue is conditional minded to the younger mind and the adults are the ones who decide to train biased attitudes towards race! It’s super sad they are still discriminating in 2022. I am praying for this family for the justice they deserve. My Son still lives Lee’s Summit, MO with his wife and my two granddaughters and he was pulled over while being black, the cop said…oh, you looked suspicious. Keep in mind all races pay taxes to live in Lee’s Summit, MO. So stop the discrimination because it’s wrong at all cost. It’s hurtful when we are doing the “right” thing and then penalized for it. Enough is simply enough. They did their homework and that a golden standard in my book.
Not sure how Lee’s Summit is, but 99 percent of the time when there are big group fights at places like these…. Malls. Etc. It’s ALWAYS blacks. Young blacks are a huge reason business go under and areas go down. Not even the good ones want to be around their BS.
@@internetargumentchampion78 It’s sad and unfortunate you feel that way especially if you never lived in Lees Summit. It’s obvious your mindset has been conditioned with bias, ignorance, low morals and an ineffective mindset. You are your own problem. Don’t blame a race! Blame yourself!
@@BeautyBea224 I didn’t grow up racist. I wasn’t taught it by anyone. But after getting older and seeing the way a lot of them want to play the victim, the problems they cause themselves, and the defense that they are never wrong even when caught red-handed, I call out the BS. If your race wants to do better, quit living up to the stereotype you have. There is a reason most blacks make up the prison population, and it’s not because of racism. There’s a reason there is a large number of fatherless black kids, and it’s not because of whites. You cause your own problems, and people are sick of it. Jesus, I couldn’t even imagine being a cop and having to put up with a bad black area everyday.
@@internetargumentchampion78 You have no valid statistics to prove your response. Stop the ignorance. Get the facts and then come back and respond with some intelligent statistics because it’s apparent your level of intelligence is not based on facts but watching a lot of television and media related stories. All races have fatherless families. You are the one blowing out unnecessary crap on a social media platform that is unrelated to your life! Again stop blaming one race and blame all people who should be held accountable for their actions regardless of race!! You are so misinformed. Like I said YOU are your own problem not a race!
I disagree....excessive amounts of people over 50 plus or more....there are risks.....its not racists...
It’s not an abnormally !!!!! Let that sink in .
Majority of our children are smart wise and scholars ❤️🖤💚
Nothing new, but true 🤗🤗🤗
I'm so glad that the father took on the leadership role at the press conference and in the video when the family first entered the water park. This father is a "man" and father.
Lazy man wants a big settlement. Run down the park, run down the town, extend the ghetto of KC further south.
@@JesterStuttle Wow. Is he "lazy" because he's black or do you actually have a personal profile of the father's personal and professional background/history?
@@JesterStuttle You just want to be racist. Did you even watch the video troll?
I proudly stand up with this family! This was inappropriate and unnecessary discrimination against the family and their guests. I am proud to hear that the police stood up and supported this family’s recount of the incident.
Bless you and your beautiful family. Thank you for handling this horrible situation with class and I pray you are all made whole. I am ashamed of the city’s response.
I HOPE THEY WIN A BIG LAWSUIT. They was disrespected & embarrassed for no reason at all. EXCEPT BEING BEAUTIFUL MELANATED PEOPLE.
They are not winning anything because they are lying and using race as a scapegoat.
This was not about race. They are using race as an excuse for their actions. They promoted the party on social media which was against the contract. And brought double the amount of people they originally stated they would. It was a safety issue which is why the employee was uncomfortable. They did not have enough security.
This situation was 100% uncalled for. I hope they win
Both parties making claims against the other. Wait for UT to play out in court before determining what happened in your own mind.
That's What It's All About JUST TO GET MONEY! They Got A FULL REFUND And That's All They Deserve!
@@mikechrisscorpio.2659 it’s ALWAYS about money for blacks. It’s THE reason they pull the race card.
‘What are you scared of???’
Love this father! He is right! There was no reason to cancel the party!
What an outstanding family! You deserve to be treated with respect because you are a very respectable family. Your children are well mannered, nicely dressed and seem to be polite. Dad and mom are upright people. Dad is very articulate and expressed his concerns in a very professional manner. Hold your heads high! Misery likes company! When people are unhappy they take out their frustration on others. What made her so uncomfortable beats me.
100% agree
Not to sure about this one....the white women at the pool said "I don't feel comfortable"...maybe because of the quest limit. Which would 250...they say the family had 500 quest. IDK
@@user-kv3ut6pv4b I take it, you really didn't listen.🙄🙄Just say you support bigotry without saying you support bigotry.
@@user-kv3ut6pv4b Yea, but per their own Social Media Page, the park is used to hosting more than 1000 guests at one time. So there's that. Apparently, you did NOT watch the video. And I saw the actually video of the family WHEN this happened. It was only the parents, their sons, and a few other children. This Park LIED.
@@cynthialigginsthomas Yeah I'll admit I didn't listen to the whole vid....that's my mistake. Just led with some numbers from a radio station when this first came out....so that's on me an should have took the time to view it all.
What I wont do is try an prove to someone about my Blackist or lack there of.. What I find a lil offensive an condescending....is seeing someone having to validate how good an up standing their or my family is. I don't have to prove jack to anyone....an don't give a dam the way anyone feels about whatever
I'm glad the family spoke up about the 500 people claim. I read the comments on another TH-cam channel about the 500 people. Even though the video didn't pan the people waiting, one could tell there wasn't even close to 100 people waiting and that the police body language wasn't one of handling out of control people. The park already had people in their park and I 'm sure they wouldn't go over their limit of customers. It's a shame when the park takes $2,000+ for a party then their Karen employee decides not to let the people enter.
Indeed.
They were advertising a “splash blast” on social media (against contract) and they were getting phone calls from parents asking how much ? They basically were going to charge per person on their own
@@topher3178
It probably would have been smart to say that at the time of the denial to the park. Instead she chose to say she felt uncomfortable. She made herself sound like a racist Karen. So that's her bad. When a group of minorities show up for a paid for party, the last thing you want to say on video, is you can't enter because I feel uncomfortable. Stupid people shouldn't be speaking for the park. If she had a legitimate legally binding reason to deny access, it would have served the park well for her to express that at the time, on video. But instead she looks like a racist white woman. So they get what they get.

The father is handling the situation so well!! i hope someone else who had a party there in the past come to the media and show that the place is used to have private parties and handle 250 guest. The fact that they offered a "free" party and didnt refund right away is so disrespectful!!
