Wait, you didn't know about Robot Sumo? There's leagues in Japan with humanoid looking robots, but yeah, the clip you showed is a first for me too. Never seen that particular competition, thanks :)
What a great example of the Streisand effect! Seeing everyone stand up at "the end" of the Valedictorian's speech, just made me want to stand up and give not only a round of applause to that guy, but also to the administration for cutting his speech short and proving his exact point. The way he just casually walks off stage, perfectly executed!
As someone who was student body president for my last 2 years of highschool, I cannot overstate how correct this kid was. All we did was plan school parties.
This may not be something with as much importance as the other stories in this video, but this comment definitely deserves more likes than it already has. Having been friends with someone on the student council during my high school years, I can confirm that you guys don't get any real power of leadership that you should have in a place that should help you grow as a person. Of course, this may not apply to all institutes/schools but I think the point was well made either way.
I'm so so proud of that boy's speech. I'm so proud of the crowd's reaction as well I'm so happy to see people stand up for the right for freedom of speech when deserved. This is where protesters should take notes from
I agree, I'm proud that this young man is standing up for what he believes in. It honestly makes me feel proud about the state him and I both share 😊 I hope more young men and women learn from this and continue to grow.
Ahh my heart fucking broke when they cut his mic, it's been so long since I've seen someone convey heartfelt concern and that just reminded me why.... the world is fine-tuned for crushing the earnest.
AMEN PETER! What he started to say was spot on and beautiful. Student Council is the stupidest popularity contest I have ever seen. My friend wanted in, but unfortunately lost due to the fact that most wouldn't call her popular. However the girl who parties drunk ever other weekend gets in no problem. There has to be a better way.
Not really. At least not without taking away the students right to their vote. I took student council elections and the like to be more of a dry run sort of thing for real life. Plenty of people complain about voters that vote for the 'popular' or 'handsome' candidate for office in actual government elections. The fact is that we do judge a book by the cover as a society and have to learn to look deeper. Again, unless you want to start declaring what is 'proper' criteria for how to vote and who to vote for (see being a total authoritarian), then there's nothing you can do about it. And in my opinion there's nothing that you should do about it. Kids need to learn by making their own mistakes and recognizing that some people get to positions of power (real or perceived) by means that not everyone will think is fair, but we live in a democracy and learning to live with the results of a fair system is part of being an adult.
Okay okay, your guys are right he is not really talking about this. However he said something along the lines of "despite some of the outstanding people in our school there is a lack of a real student government." I interpreted that as the amazing people were not voted into the student government. I realize this is not really what he was saying, I guess maybe I just wanted to add that? And I realize that I cannot tell people how to vote, I merely said that there has to be a better way, in school. Of course real politics are also a popularity contest, but you also vote on how their beliefs align to your own. Edit: and I have NOTHING against "cool" or "popular" kids, I am just saying that they are the only ones ever elected. Which is unfair. Maybe nothing can be done about it without making it even more unfair, I was just releasing frustration I guess.
As a student of Wyoming Area, I can say that everything Peter included in his speech is true.. My sister graduated and I was at the graduation. I will admit I was thrown back a bit by his words, but it is true. Our student council is crap (we had two meetings the whole school year) and our administration can be... just not good! I support his speech, and I'm incredibly surprised that this went viral!
Huge props to that kid. He saw an injustice and spoke about it in a way that got his point across clearly, without being ungrateful or disrespectful to the school. He may have left high school a virgin, but he didn't enter college as one.
my thing is she had a bad experience with one of their doctors for sure. It's kinda obvious seems like the 2nd time she is bringing her kid due to the medicine given didn't work.
As another Canadian your a fucking douche nozzle. racist are racist they are all around the world WE have nothing to apologize especially for someone else behavior.
I was never on student council, but one of my best friends was. She's a hard worker, and wanted to be a leader. Instead she made paper decorations and slideshows. It's also a popularity contest. So of course the rest of the student government was lazy and forgetful and mean. My friend was one of few people on the council that did anything. The system needs to be changed.
Samantha Cudney It completely sucks as an organization in just about every school. There's no motivation to succeed so people do nothing. If they gave it a separate grade where people that are elected but don't do anything meaningful get a bad grade then things might be different. You're also right about it being all about popularity. Some of the kids with the worst grades in the lowest tier classes were there. A prerequisite should be good grades because you can't provide adequate leadership if you cannot provide for yourself
Samantha Cudney, you are right it is a popularity contest. The voting system needs to be fixed to ensure that the kids who make it onto the council are also invested in values like leadership and team work. I'm sorry for your friend
Yeah! I totally agree with you, I had similar friends who were put through the same situations. Also, I was apart of leadership and I left simply because my leadership teacher was an absolute bitch! And I'm not saying this in a - 'cause I didn't like her -- she genuinely wasn't a good teacher. She very much had favourites, multiple times she called me lazy, unreliable, and she taught A.P Math, and I remember a friend of mine told me and other students that she called him a dumbass, and told him he was going nowhere in life simply because he was struggling with the subject matter. INSAAANNNEE!!!! Not to mention, looking back on high school, I very distinctly remember she had a photo of her husband in black face.... No lie and because we were H.S.S obviously we're a little too young to realize the implication and some even thought it was funny but now looking back... so wrong. One woman who should never have been allowed to be a teacher.
S G I had a teacher like that. It's the same sort of story as with the guy. I struggled with math, teacher called me useless and good-for-nothing, and it really messed me up. I was in elementary school, though so that was awful. But teachers like that just . . . shouldn't be teachers.
My best friend did the same thing at our graduation this year. She wrote a great speech about how the class didn't always get along, but when it came to standing up for one of us (usually against the school's administration, who seemingly had this thing where they tried to be very controlling to the point of threats with the class) we would be very close and fight together. After being asked to write her speech she passed in on to the guidance counselor to "check for grammatical errors" and was given a completely different speech instead. Now my friend takes a lot of pride in her writing, and she is amazing at it so when she read the thing again she knew right away it wasn't the same. Instead of going somewhere to complain she became determined to memorize and present the speech she wrote. And that's exactly what she did. Thankfully her mic wasn't cut off, she was sneaky. She began to do the "fixed" speech, read maybe two sentences then continued with her original piece. The administration took notice and tried to stop her by saying "that's not the speech" she simply replied with "but that's not what i wrote" and the guidance counselor just sat back down, defeated. She took a deep breath and continued the piece she wrote while the few people who knew what was going, myself included, snickered at the faces of the administration; who just sat there looking bitterly towards the distance because they knew there wasn't anything they could do anymore. And when she finished the whole class stood up and clapped while the people responsible for the phony speech put on fake smiles and started her down as she left the stage.
Plot twist: Despite the heroic story, the school administration was totally right and the speech was inappropriate but everyone thought it was "cool" because of that so they clapped. Just saying. Don't take sides because something sounds like a good story.
(Disclaimer: this may sound very un-PC for those living inside a western bubble) Or she is saying I'm not racist because my son is biracial. She does ask for a white Dr. but also names the region (Pakistan) of the Doctors she does not want seeing her son. Meaning she wants (in her mind) the "best" Dr. to help her son. Living in the middle east for several years, I can agree not all Doctors are created equal and the language barrier can and will present problems. That doesn't make them bad people or incompetent, just less capable for the task at hand. I think western Dr. is the term she was looking for as "brown skinned" sounds 100% racist to anyone. My wife went to several Indian and Pakistani doctors while living in the middle east. She found a Pakistan Dr. that she really liked, but the communication was stressful. Example: Once it took us several minutes to understand he wanted her to put vaseline (petroleum jelly) up her nose to help with sinus problems. Not menthol, just original vaseline. He also said not wearing a coat in the "winter" was making her sick. Not that it matters, but the winter temps are a freezing 60 - 70 degrees F. If you have ever been on the phone with overseas customer service reps. you understand the obstacle, plus a little head bob for good measure. Most of the time the conversions were her nodding ok and him writing a prescription for antibiotics and neither knowing what just happened. But he was a very nice man.
trikyriky66 This is Canada not the middle east all doctors are held to a standard that is set here... meaning they are all skilled in english as it is the official language... in the middle east maybe because there is so many languages it can be hard, here in Canada ypu must go through Canadian medical schools to become a doctor which includes but is not limited to writing medical journals to be read/reviewed by other doctors before you formally see patients, so no matter what colour, or ethnicity you are in canada it is impossible for you to become a doctor without appropriate language skills
trikyriky66 I'm Canadian and I've seen doctors from a variety of races. In fact one of the most thorough and knowledgeable doctors I've ever been to was middle Eastern. And one of the most clueless and dismissive was white. (I've also been to incredible white doctors and shitty middle Eastern doctors.... I have a lot of health problems and have moved a lot.) Race doesn't matter. Individual skill does.
trikyriky66 I get your point but she is in Canada. To be a doctor in Canada nomatter what race you are, you have to pass the standard as being doctor in Canada so background should not matter
I was also Chair at my school for five years but I had a completely different experience. The teachers were super supportive and helped me even go to the house of parliament about some issues and we even got a meeting with David Cameron (previous prime minister of the UK). We managed to reduce bullying at our school almost completely and introduced new programs to students who wanted internships. For the teachers to not realise what power students can have, especially when someone this passionate really cares, is a huge insult and can suppress so much good work from being done at the school. The whole point of graduation is to show support to the next generation of minds. Teachers should support the idea of making improvements. I am so proud of that student for speaking out and making his own voice heard.
Unfortunately it's just a highschool, and kids have no rights, so I don't see this having any real effect on policy. Sad that things works that way, but I think that's just how it's going to go .-. On the bright side, that kid is gonna have an amazing future.
I would argue that there are some scenarios where vertical would work, like taking video of a tall skyscraper when you're at the base or something that requires the extra vertical length. This was not one of those times though xD
Cheng Xiao interesting, the context of you saying that is like an insult as the word is derogatory. but you have a small Asian girl as your profile, I doubt it's you, unlikely to be your child, doubt many adults who say weeb. And by definition no, I have no anime Waifu and while I do indeed watch anime and such, I'm not obsessed enough. Also you said like them, Jun is Japanese himself, not possible for him to be a Weeb O.o
Oh gawd high school. Honestly, I feel like some people become teachers because they like to have control over those with less power than them. But reigning over a bunch of kids doesn't make you strong. Building them up does.
Bless the kid in the last video. As someone who was always off out from leadership positions for the exact reason of feeling like there was a lot of work with no real benefits in terms of getting yourself heard, it's both relieving and reassuring to see someone who took the platform they were given and respectfully speak out on it's issues. Taking a stand like that takes major balls and I'm so so glad we get to see people who are willing to take that risk.
1. We don't know he stole a poster. We don't know he did anything against their laws. 2. Torturing a person to DEATH for ANYTHING is among the most despicable and immoral things humans can do. There is no excuse or justification.
Speculation. Guy didn't have a single bruise in his body, and was returned to US to receive better treatment than they have available. Also, what do they have to gain killing this prisoner in such a dumb way? Simple, conditions there are shit, they're poor, and the guy got ill.
Soviet Moreira but that still means they killed him, its like someone kidnaps a kid and puts them in such horrible conditions where they die of desease, the person will still be at fault for the death, the same goes for North Korea.
There is a POSSIBILITY of oxygen deprivation. They never said that he actually suffered from it, just that his condition is possibly due to said cause.
If more people act like the BAMF of the day we just might make a positive change in the future. I just hope they don't get drowned out by the ignorant bullshit we see everyday. Good on you sir. Keep it up.
Not really. He was advocating for the same authoritarian power that the school had. Guess what that change is never good cause giving it to a fucking high school kid would means bullies be in power to fuck everyone over.
blackguyadam that's exactly what he was asking for. I went to that school and that's exactly what made me go fuck student council. Anyone who does not understand that is a fucking idiot.
I absolutely agree with what you said towards the end of the first story, Phil. Lots of people on TH-cam go to North Korea and act like it's a weird little hipster trip, like visiting Portland Oregon or something. In reality, NK is NOT a normal country. People suffer there daily, and as pristine as they try to make it look, it's everything but. I recommend watching "The Propaganda Game". I feel it's one of the best documentaries based on North Korean. It gives you everything you need to know delivered without any agenda attached.
Jun's other channel 'Rachel and Jun' is also really fantastic. It's gives perspective on what it's like to be in an interracial/international relationship. Fascinating stuff! Let us know if you check it out
Oxygen deprivation torture device??? Good god, I thought that was a made up thing for the torture seen in Deadpool. That poor man. I cant even imagine. / How dare that woman write the article, or Ebony, i hope those people were fired. Bunch of racists spreading hate- and that man was tortured, for months, until death.
Aaron565pwns I do not wish nor want anyone to attack anyone else over they're individual views. In the area I live in; however, there are many whom would likely not share that particular belief, and would have no quams "laying the smackdown" on someone so openly racist.
I have to say I love that you gave Jun'sKitchen a shout out. All of his videos on that channel are very artfully done and just amazing. they leave me feeling peaceful and good inside.
I can't believe people are actually giving North Korea any benefit of the doubt by saying he should respect their laws i mean how disgusting of a human being can you really be
Sunny D exactly. like, you MAYBE (not proven) steal one measly poster and all of a sudden youre forced to work in a labor (im sure theyre borderline concentration camps in N Korea) camp for 15 years? and then youre tortured to death? a fucking american citizen? unreal.
lydia1112 Yes but what you don't understand is that that poster probably cost a fortune because North Korea doesn't have the luxury of having supplies as simple as poster paper.
Kookie's Biceps Are My Holy Grail I don't know if you said this as a joke or not, but it seems to be true. I saw a video of a North Korean luxury store that was just full of items you'd find in a normal retail store anywhere else, posters included. It was a very exclusive store that you had to have a voucher to get in.
He SHOULD respect their laws. The fuck you stealing a poster for? Yes death over a stupid poster is so overboard but why do something you're NOT suppose to do. They even tell you not to take anything, etc etc. North Korea is not the United States where if someone stole a poster you would get a slap on the hand.
I'm a proud member of the DFN. whether I disagree or agree I always love engaging in these conversations. with that said that boy should have had every right to speak. I hope that school implemented serious changes in their policies for their students because right now they are a clear example of the state of affairs in our nation today. apparently free speech isn't free.
Yeah, Rachel and Jun are awesome. I've used to watch them a lot but kind of stopped after a while. I was surprised they showed up here. Maybe this is a sign to start watching their videos again. 😁
i am a white australian and after watching that i just wanted to say i have a awesome black english doctor who i always call to make sure is in when i go. just felt like i needed to say that.
This mother should be ashamed of herself. How dare you put your prejudices and racist views before the welfare of your child.Your child is sick it shouldn't matter what the colour of the doctor's skin is ( or teeth as I heard her say in the video) if they can help your child get better than that all that matters. and Fyi doctors who come from other countries to canada have to go through more training and schooling before they can practice medicine here so they are more qualified than a white doctor who went to school here in canada.
She said she's seeking therapy, this implies something traumatizing happened to her. Why would you need therapy for something that you don't remember or wasn't traumatizing.
I agree its fishy, but not remembering something important like that can be traumatizing in itself. I take anti-depressants, and once my doctor proscribed a cheaper, supposedly better working, drug than the one he had me on at the time. This drug had a very rare side effect of short term memory loss, I took the drug for a year, and found out from my loved ones that I had been acting a little weird during that year. I would ask questions I had already asked before or tell people I wanted to go do something with them and we had done that very thing a day or week before. When I discovered this it was pretty frightening, I had no memory what so ever, of several weeks worth of my life, I had no idea what I had done during those days and weeks. I could have done some bad things and never known id done them until the consequences of my actions rolled around. Thankfully the worst thing that happened was I annoyed my girlfriend because I wanted to watch a movie that we had already watched several times, but it could have been worse. I'm not really defending this woman. I believe she was in the wrong here, she shouldn't have commented on the matter before knowing what actually happened. The fact that she did comment so quickly makes me believe she was trying to hide something. But I can understand a need for therapy of some sort, just the thought that you might have been raped while under the influence would be frightening enough to warrant it.
@GiantSavage117 I'm not saying it's not possible by any means, hearing everyone say something horrible happened to you could make you need therapy, no doubt. The thing is, in your case you know what happened, you know something out of your control took place, and it affected people in your life. In this case, she is, in my opinion, either 1. getting therapy based on what people are telling her happened, or 2. something horrible did happen, but she's just not talking about it. I would normally lean towards the latter case because victims aren't often outspoken, but there seems to be too much evidence pointing to nothing like that taking place. Bottom line, if something bad happens to me and I don't remember, I could need therapy to help me process what happened and move on from it, but I'm not sure I'd call that being traumatized. Maybe it's just me and I'm totally wrong on how I'm basing that, it's just my dumbass opinion lol.
Well lets say, you woke up one morning after binge drinking and do not remember anything but then your friend calls you or comes over to ask you if you're ok? Or to tell you that you were violated when you were drunk; just learning that and not being 100 percent sure that you were not raped, can cause someone trauma. Not everyone has the same mental state and there for some are easily traumatized while others aren't. I know if I was in that position, I would freak out and go straight to a hospital to make sure. I wouldn't have my peace of mind until I found out the truth.
Why would you cut his mic off? How is that a good idea when there are potentially thousands of witnesses with phones that like record their children's graduation specially the parents of the valedictorian they want to save that speech no matter what.
falcore316 "Hey, he's saying we have too much power over the student government, let's literally show we have too much power over the class President."
From my experience, he was most likely warned beforehand that if he went off script his mic would be cut. For my graduation we had all the submitted and approved speeches typed out and sitting on the podium. That being said, had he written what he actually wanted to say in the speech he submitted, he would have probably been forced to rewrite it.
Just a shout-out and a big thank you from Denmark. Spending the last month preparing for 2 exams (both passed, first one Monday, second one today), my head has been swamped with way to much code and theory and ARGH! , and PDS has been the highlight of my evenings - it's around midnight here when your show is published. Thank you, Mr. DeFranco. You, Sir, rock!
I was kind of really hoping that the kid had come prepared with a 2nd mic and would have pulled it out after they cut the first one. That would have made it absolutely perfect.
I am in college, and I have seen multiple groups of teens, high school students, come to our campus and speak. speak intelagently and with conviction about some important issues, both outside the lecture halls protesting, and or exersizing free speach, or in lecture halls as invited guest. What is age when it comes to free speach. Everyone should have at least some control over their own lives. Don't you agree Phil?
Thank you, I am somewhat tired of people dumping on others simply because they are young or a part of a generation bellow them. It often comes from a place of naivety, and lack of understanding about how capable that age group or generation is. People grow up and forget that at that age they two once had opinions, perspectives, and insight. They too learned something at that age about the world.
i hope peter makes a video where he finishes his speech because at that time he had the support of his peers and their parents now the internet has his back. He is the future LET HIM SPEAK!
WOOOOOO HE TALKED ABOUT JUNS CHANNEL (which btw it's joon phonetically lol) AHHHHHH I'M SO HAPPY FOR HIM, he is such a wonderful youtuber, with a wonderful wife who he also has a main channel with called Rachel & Jun. People should 100% go check them out if they're interested in seeing what Japan is about and their adventures together!
what does the colour of skin have to do with speaking English. a large chunk of Europe is whit and dont speak English as a first language even Canada there's a chance the doctor be talking french!
Right? I've talked to white people in Canada with accents so heavy I couldn't understand them, and of course there are TONS of Canadians who were born here of a large variety of races. Why can't racists learn that language =/= race
Phil, given your enthusiasm for Robot Sumo, you should really check out the old UK TV show Robot Wars. They did a revival recently with Dara O'Briain, but the Craig Charles era was the motherfucking bomb! Best Friday afterschool TV!
Hi DeFranco I love watching your videos. I would like if you cover the fire that is happening in Portugal were 64 people lost their lives trying to escape from the fire, our firefightrs are working ward to conten this fire. 🇵🇹💔
as a canadian who has spent my entire life close to where that incident went down, I hope i'd have the balls to confront someone like that if it was happening right next to me. we're not immune to shit heads but I very rarely see people yelling that kind of bullshit, she is not a representation of the way we do things
Are you a parent? Do you have your own bills to pay? I'd be piss like her if this was my 2nd trip to the hospital and not giving help to cure the problem. A trip to the ER (chest pain issues) is 2k at least this is at least a 2nd visit 10:40. No she shouldn't be a racist but bitch do you want to pay 4k for a hospital visit that the doctor fucked up on? So I can see why she is upset.
fasddfadfgasdgs, been to ER in ontario. if i remember correctly, paid 20 CAD. Was driven to ER by ambulance, cause people thought that i drank too much. This too was in province of ontario. My bill was 80 CAD. So, before making assumptions, get ur facts straight. Also, im white (with yellow teeth) and if i was a doctor and on staff that time, that women would be really pissed with her request for white doctor. English is my 3rd language and i do have accent when talking to someone. My point is, she thinks that every white doctor(?) is better and has better teeth than every doctor of other skin colour. This is racism in nutshell.
Phil, I just wanted to thank you for the respect with which you covered Otto's story today. I attend the same university as Otto, and although I didn't now him personally, the whole community has been in a state of shock and grief over the last few days of news around him. It makes me sick to my stomach to read articles and comments that deem it "his fault" that these atrocities were committed against him and that a young man with so much potential was essentially murdered at the hands of a foreign government. Unfortunately, due to the disputable evidence, no one will ever know if Otto truly did steal that poster, but regardless, the punishment he received was uncalled for. I've also read a number of articles that focus this story on him being a white male and white privilege, and even some articles that claim because he attends our university, that he must have been raised getting everything he wanted and never being told no, and that his family only encouraged this behavior in his upbringing, and seeing this makes my heart hurt that such a tragedy could happen and people point their fingers at the family who is engulfed in grief. The levelheadedness with which you covered this story gives me so much faith and brings the focus back to the victims of this story. Thank you.
Dank senzu weed 420 HE didnt do anything to deserve 15 years hard labour and tortured into a coma. Even if he did try to steal a poster, which he may not have, a fine wouldve been too much anyways. punishment.
I can tell he's going to go through a lot of suffering because of that terrible mother. Why the police didn't take her son from her baffles me. She clearly cared more about her racist views than her own sons health. A parent that does that is no parent at all. When you have a child, nothing else matters more than that childs health and safety. That is the duty of a parent. If you don't want that duty or are not ready for it, don't have a child. Parents can be so fucking selfish.
Even if he DID steal the poster, its borderline sociopathic to say anyone deserved such a nightmarish punishment. How can anyone think that was okay???
Because common sense would tell you not to do that stupid shit. What’s Phil’s favorite slogan? “Don’t be stupid, stupid” or maybe it’s “Fuck around and find out” either way it fits🤷🏿♂️
Ok, you are getting epic. You keep finding these people who are changing the world without trolling rage, screaming and hate. I love you bring these videos to light and showing the kids and fans these are the people who should be celebrated. Normal news is celebrating crappy role models, or worse, celebrating evil wicked people. Thank you Franko! Love your work
I just finished writing a short book that covers this North Korea situation. Its called "How to not get murdered by a crazy dictator". Page 1 of 1 Don't fucking go to that fucking country.
Quick599 lol I did too. honestly as a minority myself, I never experienced shit like that, never had friends who are black/brown experience it, and had never seen it ....until 2 days ago. some lady was yelling at a taxi driver for texting while driving and I was like "yaaas girl". and then she started yelling go back to your country three times. I was shocked. we were in crowded streets of Boston near Newbury street. weirdest thing is she looked like she was Hispanic. wtf is wrong with the world
You sit through articles like that Huffpost piece, there's a terrorist attack every other day, and the media lies about both. You're surprised people are becoming less tolerant?
Quick599 really? People segregate themselves all the time. But it's only acknowledged as bad if you're white. I'm not for it, but there is a double standard here.
I also like that in her head White = Canadian = English speaker. like... she does know that that white doctor could speak French. Given, not that likely in Ontario, but like.. who tells you he's not an immigrant (as she's basically accusing every non-white doctor of). In her mind apparently Europe and Russia don't exist.
"Boyfriend" in this instance most likely means hanging out on weekends and smoking weed together and fucking like rabbits. Most likely not a serious boyfriend whatsoever
that last kid, you can hear his voice crack up out of the emotion of saying those things, that took balls..... I wonder if a younger me would have being able to do that... I doubt it
In the bachelor or whatever story, I remember you saying the guy was also drunk when the incident happens... Why is it that society only think only women can be victim of rape while drunk? The definition of rape is the absence of consent. If both participant are drunk and can't give a consent with a clear mind, wouldn't both of them have mutually raped each other?
The difference is if she was unconscious, which is what was being claimed by the person who made the complaint. If there's a drunk person and an unconscious person, the drunk person is at fault because the person who is passed out literally cannot say yes or no.
Jessica You don't need to know my last name It's been concluded by the studio and law firm that it's not his fault. No one is saying it is at this point. Beforehand it was undetermined so of course people took sides.
I agree that both men and women can be raped while drunk. If these two were both drunk, had sexual relations and that was it, that would mean they were in the same state of mind, and more than that, one is not taking advantage of the other regardless of sex, but I'd say this story isn't the same. So the issue here is that she allegedly passed out, then the sexual acts happened and it became a non-consenting situation. She also never points the finger to him. She believes the crew, whom are responsible for her wellbeing on the show, should have intervened the moment they saw she went "limp" (had the allegations been true). It seems to me that she made it clear she understood that he was inebriated and might not have properly stopped said non-consenting acts. He said she was conscious and they were both drunk and being sexual, she said she doesn't remember but thinks something bad happened, but if she was unconscious and something did happen it's the company's fault for not supervising properly, witnesses were confusing and the report says there was no non-consent. The one that are supposed to be under judgement/fault in this particular scenario, had the claim been true, is the show's crews/producers/those that were supposed to protect her from harm, not the guy.
I hope that woman's son was taken to a Dominican doctor. This way she gets the perfect combination of someone who looks black, but also speaks Spanish.
As a Canadian from this area of Ontario, this woman is horrible. She is a complete disgrace to all of us. It is never OK to treat someone this way. I am so horrified by this.
Sup You Beautiful Baskets! Hope you're having a great day. :)
Philip DeFranco Thanks Phil, you too!
Philip DeFranco thanks, hope you have a great day too
Baskets?
I always thought you said "...you beautiful bastards"
Wait, you didn't know about Robot Sumo? There's leagues in Japan with humanoid looking robots, but yeah, the clip you showed is a first for me too. Never seen that particular competition, thanks :)
What a great example of the Streisand effect! Seeing everyone stand up at "the end" of the Valedictorian's speech, just made me want to stand up and give not only a round of applause to that guy, but also to the administration for cutting his speech short and proving his exact point. The way he just casually walks off stage, perfectly executed!
As someone who was student body president for my last 2 years of highschool, I cannot overstate how correct this kid was. All we did was plan school parties.
This may not be something with as much importance as the other stories in this video, but this comment definitely deserves more likes than it already has.
Having been friends with someone on the student council during my high school years, I can confirm that you guys don't get any real power of leadership that you should have in a place that should help you grow as a person.
Of course, this may not apply to all institutes/schools but I think the point was well made either way.
Considering like 99% of the people working in schools are pupils
It just makes sense for the pupils to have SOME input
Student council middle and high school (so far) president a few grades, and valid Victorian tied w/ another girl...
i can confirm this is true af
Phantrashnumber5 valid Victorian! 😂 Gotta love autocorrect
From my experience, some college student councils are exactly the same.... ofc gotta get something on your resume.
I'm so so proud of that boy's speech. I'm so proud of the crowd's reaction as well I'm so happy to see people stand up for the right for freedom of speech when deserved. This is where protesters should take notes from
I agree, I'm proud that this young man is standing up for what he believes in. It honestly makes me feel proud about the state him and I both share 😊 I hope more young men and women learn from this and continue to grow.
Ahh my heart fucking broke when they cut his mic, it's been so long since I've seen someone convey heartfelt concern and that just reminded me why.... the world is fine-tuned for crushing the earnest.
It's interesting the racist lady in the doctor's office refers to her child as "part not white" instead of "he's part (colour/race)".
AMEN PETER! What he started to say was spot on and beautiful. Student Council is the stupidest popularity contest I have ever seen. My friend wanted in, but unfortunately lost due to the fact that most wouldn't call her popular. However the girl who parties drunk ever other weekend gets in no problem. There has to be a better way.

Not really. At least not without taking away the students right to their vote. I took student council elections and the like to be more of a dry run sort of thing for real life. Plenty of people complain about voters that vote for the 'popular' or 'handsome' candidate for office in actual government elections. The fact is that we do judge a book by the cover as a society and have to learn to look deeper. Again, unless you want to start declaring what is 'proper' criteria for how to vote and who to vote for (see being a total authoritarian), then there's nothing you can do about it. And in my opinion there's nothing that you should do about it. Kids need to learn by making their own mistakes and recognizing that some people get to positions of power (real or perceived) by means that not everyone will think is fair, but we live in a democracy and learning to live with the results of a fair system is part of being an adult.
I get what your saying, but it's not what he said. Go back and watch the video.
Its not just student council all elections are a popularity contest.
That's a flaw in democracy that we all need to think about.
Okay okay, your guys are right he is not really talking about this. However he said something along the lines of "despite some of the outstanding people in our school there is a lack of a real student government." I interpreted that as the amazing people were not voted into the student government. I realize this is not really what he was saying, I guess maybe I just wanted to add that? And I realize that I cannot tell people how to vote, I merely said that there has to be a better way, in school. Of course real politics are also a popularity contest, but you also vote on how their beliefs align to your own.
Edit: and I have NOTHING against "cool" or "popular" kids, I am just saying that they are the only ones ever elected. Which is unfair. Maybe nothing can be done about it without making it even more unfair, I was just releasing frustration I guess.
As a student of Wyoming Area, I can say that everything Peter included in his speech is true.. My sister graduated and I was at the graduation. I will admit I was thrown back a bit by his words, but it is true. Our student council is crap (we had two meetings the whole school year) and our administration can be... just not good! I support his speech, and I'm incredibly surprised that this went viral!
That was definitely Bigfoot stealing that sign.
Enable Chaos I don't know, looked more like the Jersey Devil.
Angela L.
Manbearpig, I'm thuper thereal
He must be in a real bad place to be working with North Korea.
Bigfoot is naturally out of focus, it's a defense mechanism.
Enable Chaos it was the ghawst of jawcky jem
Huge props to that kid. He saw an injustice and spoke about it in a way that got his point across clearly, without being ungrateful or disrespectful to the school. He may have left high school a virgin, but he didn't enter college as one.
Noah Smith who cares if he's a virgin lol, he's indeed got what it takes to be a leader.
As a Canadian, I am sorry.
as a fellow Canadian... PLEASE look up the documentary called : oh Canada our bought and sold out land...
EVERY Canadian should see it atleast once
As a Canadian citizen, I'm not surprised this happened
Sowry?
my thing is she had a bad experience with one of their doctors for sure. It's kinda obvious seems like the 2nd time she is bringing her kid due to the medicine given didn't work.
As another Canadian your a fucking douche nozzle. racist are racist they are all around the world WE have nothing to apologize especially for someone else behavior.
I was never on student council, but one of my best friends was. She's a hard worker, and wanted to be a leader. Instead she made paper decorations and slideshows.
It's also a popularity contest. So of course the rest of the student government was lazy and forgetful and mean. My friend was one of few people on the council that did anything. The system needs to be changed.
Samantha Cudney
It completely sucks as an organization in just about every school. There's no motivation to succeed so people do nothing. If they gave it a separate grade where people that are elected but don't do anything meaningful get a bad grade then things might be different.
You're also right about it being all about popularity. Some of the kids with the worst grades in the lowest tier classes were there. A prerequisite should be good grades because you can't provide adequate leadership if you cannot provide for yourself
Samantha Cudney, you are right it is a popularity contest. The voting system needs to be fixed to ensure that the kids who make it onto the council are also invested in values like leadership and team work. I'm sorry for your friend
Samantha Cudney We need a dictatorship!!!
Yeah! I totally agree with you, I had similar friends who were put through the same situations. Also, I was apart of leadership and I left simply because my leadership teacher was an absolute bitch! And I'm not saying this in a - 'cause I didn't like her -- she genuinely wasn't a good teacher. She very much had favourites, multiple times she called me lazy, unreliable, and she taught A.P Math, and I remember a friend of mine told me and other students that she called him a dumbass, and told him he was going nowhere in life simply because he was struggling with the subject matter. INSAAANNNEE!!!! Not to mention, looking back on high school, I very distinctly remember she had a photo of her husband in black face.... No lie and because we were H.S.S obviously we're a little too young to realize the implication and some even thought it was funny but now looking back... so wrong. One woman who should never have been allowed to be a teacher.
S G I had a teacher like that. It's the same sort of story as with the guy. I struggled with math, teacher called me useless and good-for-nothing, and it really messed me up. I was in elementary school, though so that was awful.
But teachers like that just . . . shouldn't be teachers.
I'm glad Philip showed that Graduation clip, giving him more power.
My best friend did the same thing at our graduation this year. She wrote a great speech about how the class didn't always get along, but when it came to standing up for one of us (usually against the school's administration, who seemingly had this thing where they tried to be very controlling to the point of threats with the class) we would be very close and fight together. After being asked to write her speech she passed in on to the guidance counselor to "check for grammatical errors" and was given a completely different speech instead. Now my friend takes a lot of pride in her writing, and she is amazing at it so when she read the thing again she knew right away it wasn't the same. Instead of going somewhere to complain she became determined to memorize and present the speech she wrote. And that's exactly what she did. Thankfully her mic wasn't cut off, she was sneaky. She began to do the "fixed" speech, read maybe two sentences then continued with her original piece. The administration took notice and tried to stop her by saying "that's not the speech" she simply replied with "but that's not what i wrote" and the guidance counselor just sat back down, defeated. She took a deep breath and continued the piece she wrote while the few people who knew what was going, myself included, snickered at the faces of the administration; who just sat there looking bitterly towards the distance because they knew there wasn't anything they could do anymore. And when she finished the whole class stood up and clapped while the people responsible for the phony speech put on fake smiles and started her down as she left the stage.
Plot twist: Despite the heroic story, the school administration was totally right and the speech was inappropriate but everyone thought it was "cool" because of that so they clapped. Just saying. Don't take sides because something sounds like a good story.
I feel worse for the child because mom says,, "part not white.." meaning she is telling that child part of him is wrong..
cathy Tuttle I heard that too. Its sad.
(Disclaimer: this may sound very un-PC for those living inside a western bubble)
Or she is saying I'm not racist because my son is biracial. She does ask for a white Dr. but also names the region (Pakistan) of the Doctors she does not want seeing her son. Meaning she wants (in her mind) the "best" Dr. to help her son. Living in the middle east for several years, I can agree not all Doctors are created equal and the language barrier can and will present problems. That doesn't make them bad people or incompetent, just less capable for the task at hand. I think western Dr. is the term she was looking for as "brown skinned" sounds 100% racist to anyone.
My wife went to several Indian and Pakistani doctors while living in the middle east. She found a Pakistan Dr. that she really liked, but the communication was stressful. Example: Once it took us several minutes to understand he wanted her to put vaseline (petroleum jelly) up her nose to help with sinus problems. Not menthol, just original vaseline. He also said not wearing a coat in the "winter" was making her sick. Not that it matters, but the winter temps are a freezing 60 - 70 degrees F. If you have ever been on the phone with overseas customer service reps. you understand the obstacle, plus a little head bob for good measure. Most of the time the conversions were her nodding ok and him writing a prescription for antibiotics and neither knowing what just happened. But he was a very nice man.
trikyriky66 This is Canada not the middle east all doctors are held to a standard that is set here... meaning they are all skilled in english as it is the official language... in the middle east maybe because there is so many languages it can be hard, here in Canada ypu must go through Canadian medical schools to become a doctor which includes but is not limited to writing medical journals to be read/reviewed by other doctors before you formally see patients, so no matter what colour, or ethnicity you are in canada it is impossible for you to become a doctor without appropriate language skills
trikyriky66
I'm Canadian and I've seen doctors from a variety of races. In fact one of the most thorough and knowledgeable doctors I've ever been to was middle Eastern. And one of the most clueless and dismissive was white. (I've also been to incredible white doctors and shitty middle Eastern doctors.... I have a lot of health problems and have moved a lot.)
Race doesn't matter. Individual skill does.
trikyriky66 I get your point but she is in Canada. To be a doctor in Canada nomatter what race you are, you have to pass the standard as being doctor in Canada so background should not matter
Thank you for plugging Jun's channel!!! Him and his wife are awesome 👏
Checkpoint Lol! In the video it's his cat, yes, not his wife 😂
I was also Chair at my school for five years but I had a completely different experience. The teachers were super supportive and helped me even go to the house of parliament about some issues and we even got a meeting with David Cameron (previous prime minister of the UK). We managed to reduce bullying at our school almost completely and introduced new programs to students who wanted internships. For the teachers to not realise what power students can have, especially when someone this passionate really cares, is a huge insult and can suppress so much good work from being done at the school. The whole point of graduation is to show support to the next generation of minds. Teachers should support the idea of making improvements. I am so proud of that student for speaking out and making his own voice heard.
Thank you for calling out the huff post "journalist". We need more sources holding these "journalists" accountable. Not all heroes wear capes.
In fact, It's best if no heroes wear capes, aside from Batman, of course, Edna Mode made that point quite clear.
Thomas Iobst Exactly! Have you seen how Syndrome died?
Welcome to the Streisand effect. By them silencing his message, they just created a piece of viral content.
The irony of the situation couldn't be anymore beautiful.
Disgustingly beautiful as it took the death of a man who was either innocent or only a petty thief to shine a light on it.
Gary B this seems to be regarding the Valedictorian beong silenced
Unfortunately it's just a highschool, and kids have no rights, so I don't see this having any real effect on policy. Sad that things works that way, but I think that's just how it's going to go .-.
On the bright side, that kid is gonna have an amazing future.
Gary B Weren't they talking about the student council president?
"why are you yelling at me?!" Gee I wonder why lady.
dragon spirit(aka shadow999999)
Lady? More like insufferable banshee.
Love that lad talking at his graduation, very well constructed speech!
Something small that bothers me more than it should is why would someone film a graduation/valedictorian speech in vertical rather than in horizontal?
Andy Plays All Night Why would you film *ANYTHING* in vertical honestly...
Andy Plays All Night it's a parent thing
I would argue that there are some scenarios where vertical would work, like taking video of a tall skyscraper when you're at the base or something that requires the extra vertical length. This was not one of those times though xD
Andy Plays All Night There were people's heads on both sides just out of frame. Filming horizontally wouldn't have been any better.
That's why you zoom in a little to not get the heads.
Jun's Kitchen is awesome for sure, I found it through their vlog channel Rachel & Jun, he's like the nicest guy ever who's also very good at cooking
quotidianlight best trained cats in the world, didn't even think you could train a cat till I saw his :)
Xaine's World same here! Love them
Xaine's World you are a weeb like them then
I'm surprised to see him mention the channel. He's one of my favorite youtubers.
Cheng Xiao interesting, the context of you saying that is like an insult as the word is derogatory. but you have a small Asian girl as your profile, I doubt it's you, unlikely to be your child, doubt many adults who say weeb.
And by definition no, I have no anime Waifu and while I do indeed watch anime and such, I'm not obsessed enough.
Also you said like them, Jun is Japanese himself, not possible for him to be a Weeb O.o
Oh gawd high school. Honestly, I feel like some people become teachers because they like to have control over those with less power than them. But reigning over a bunch of kids doesn't make you strong. Building them up does.
Huffpost is considered main stream?! Who is wasting their time with that site?!
I was thinking the same. I thought that news on that website weren't written by actual journalist.
I gotta agree, to much damn, advertising! You never get, the story! Yikes, point-less, endeavor.
Bless the kid in the last video. As someone who was always off out from leadership positions for the exact reason of feeling like there was a lot of work with no real benefits in terms of getting yourself heard, it's both relieving and reassuring to see someone who took the platform they were given and respectfully speak out on it's issues. Taking a stand like that takes major balls and I'm so so glad we get to see people who are willing to take that risk.
1. We don't know he stole a poster. We don't know he did anything against their laws.
2. Torturing a person to DEATH for ANYTHING is among the most despicable and immoral things humans can do. There is no excuse or justification.
Speculation. Guy didn't have a single bruise in his body, and was returned to US to receive better treatment than they have available. Also, what do they have to gain killing this prisoner in such a dumb way? Simple, conditions there are shit, they're poor, and the guy got ill.
Soviet Moreira but that still means they killed him, its like someone kidnaps a kid and puts them in such horrible conditions where they die of desease, the person will still be at fault for the death, the same goes for North Korea.
Did you watch the video? There is evidence of oxygen deprivation torture +Soviet Moreira.
Sounds like soviet didnt watch the video.
There is a POSSIBILITY of oxygen deprivation. They never said that he actually suffered from it, just that his condition is possibly due to said cause.
Props to the parents who cheered him on.
As a Canadian, I'm so ashamed of this incident.
Jun is one of the cooler youtubers from Japan that I like so I am really glad you found his video! His wife's channel is also really awesome!
I'm so glad they're in the spotlight! They're so fun to watch, not to mention educational ^o^
I love Rachel and Jun! ❤
His wife is the redhead right? ...Rachel? I just found her through Sharla who I used to watch a lot.
If more people act like the BAMF of the day we just might make a positive change in the future. I just hope they don't get drowned out by the ignorant bullshit we see everyday. Good on you sir. Keep it up.
Not really. He was advocating for the same authoritarian power that the school had. Guess what that change is never good cause giving it to a fucking high school kid would means bullies be in power to fuck everyone over.
fasddfadfgasdgs not even close. He was asking for the student council to be more than a popularity contest.
blackguyadam that's exactly what he was asking for. I went to that school and that's exactly what made me go fuck student council. Anyone who does not understand that is a fucking idiot.
Unfortunately the school will probably do their best to make sure no one remembers him. I'm surprised they didn't take his diploma.
Why do people continue to go to North Korea?! Absolutely ridiculous.
Maybe they really like 1984.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) get the fuck out with that wrongthink
Trump could promote his travel ban by adding North Korea to it. haha!
because they're edgy hipsters that "wanna make a difference" etc
They ain't gonna do it within those borders, not without becoming intimately acquainted with a few rifle butts.
"I'd rather my child possibly die of a heart attack than have him see a doctor that isn't white." CPS needs to be called.
I absolutely agree with what you said towards the end of the first story, Phil. Lots of people on TH-cam go to North Korea and act like it's a weird little hipster trip, like visiting Portland Oregon or something. In reality, NK is NOT a normal country. People suffer there daily, and as pristine as they try to make it look, it's everything but. I recommend watching "The Propaganda Game". I feel it's one of the best documentaries based on North Korean. It gives you everything you need to know delivered without any agenda attached.
Jun's other channel 'Rachel and Jun' is also really fantastic. It's gives perspective on what it's like to be in an interracial/international relationship. Fascinating stuff! Let us know if you check it out
I love their channel! They're so adorable and fun. X3
Prism Quartz right?! And they spend a lot of time on them. And the visual aspect is top notch! Underrated for sure!
I am so happy that Jun got so much attention here! Hope their channel grows more! Same with phil of course.
Loved the BAMF of the day. Seriously.
Brittany Novello no just fucking no
Hey guys. You don't need to click Brittany's link. I can tell you what it is. It's some parents using their dead kid as a way to solicit money.
Same!! Just like the woman at the end of the video, I'm so proud of him!
Oxygen deprivation torture device??? Good god, I thought that was a made up thing for the torture seen in Deadpool. That poor man. I cant even imagine. / How dare that woman write the article, or Ebony, i hope those people were fired. Bunch of racists spreading hate- and that man was tortured, for months, until death.
Stacy s that woman is disgusting
water boarding is basically water deprivation. you don't need a fancy device to have the same effect
It sounds very made-up tho. The easiest explanation would be that he was strangled, which is a common suicide method in prison.
I am Canadian and from Ontario.. this is NOT how we act!!!
Jane-Ann Armstrong I live in Malton. If she started saying that shit here she'd be the one needing a hospital.
SaberZoro Its not defense, its terrorism to attack someone based on political opinions, or any type of opinion.
Aaron565pwns I do not wish nor want anyone to attack anyone else over they're individual views. In the area I live in; however, there are many whom would likely not share that particular belief, and would have no quams "laying the smackdown" on someone so openly racist.
That last one was pretty funny. As soon as he mentions authoritative teachers, the microphone was cut haha.
Firelord Azula that's like having a speech about anti smoking in school then the principal lighting a cigarette at the same time.
Jun's Kitchen. Watch for the cats, stay for the mesmerizing cooking.
Awww Phil!! You're awesome for the Jun shoutout. He's amazing and so is Rachel!!
"My kid is part non-white" might be the greatest collection of words in human history.
OsciideeOTDC I'm glad someone else caught that
in other words her kid is not pure blood.
Oscar Martinez, not pure blood? So, is he like, part apple juice?
"non-white"
wait does she know the dad?
Oscar Martinez filthy mud-bloods
I was laughing so hard when the mic was turned off.
I seriously started clapping because I found it so funny, and that after 1am.
In high school I was voted class president 2 years of my time. The 2nd year I forgot that I was class president because we literally did nothing.
Gideon B. Damn dude, i feel for you
I have to say I love that you gave Jun'sKitchen a shout out. All of his videos on that channel are very artfully done and just amazing. they leave me feeling peaceful and good inside.
I can't believe people are actually giving North Korea any benefit of the doubt by saying he should respect their laws i mean how disgusting of a human being can you really be
Sunny D exactly. like, you MAYBE (not proven) steal one measly poster and all of a sudden youre forced to work in a labor (im sure theyre borderline concentration camps in N Korea) camp for 15 years? and then youre tortured to death? a fucking american citizen? unreal.
lydia1112 Yes but what you don't understand is that that poster probably cost a fortune because North Korea doesn't have the luxury of having supplies as simple as poster paper.
Kookie's Biceps Are My Holy Grail hahah 😂
Kookie's Biceps Are My Holy Grail I don't know if you said this as a joke or not, but it seems to be true. I saw a video of a North Korean luxury store that was just full of items you'd find in a normal retail store anywhere else, posters included. It was a very exclusive store that you had to have a voucher to get in.
He SHOULD respect their laws. The fuck you stealing a poster for? Yes death over a stupid poster is so overboard but why do something you're NOT suppose to do. They even tell you not to take anything, etc etc. North Korea is not the United States where if someone stole a poster you would get a slap on the hand.
omg. i love Rachel and Jun! i can't believe phil gave him a shout out!!!!
I'm a proud member of the DFN. whether I disagree or agree I always love engaging in these conversations. with that said that boy should have had every right to speak. I hope that school implemented serious changes in their policies for their students because right now they are a clear example of the state of affairs in our nation today. apparently free speech isn't free.
The huffington compost has been shit for a long time.
Oxymoron23
Dude, waiting in line is shit, failing a test is shit, fried meat is shit. The Huffington compost is more than just shit pal.
Omgggg Junnn!!! Awesome :D Rachel and Jun!!!
Do your arms ache after making these videos? Wacky waving inflatable arm flailing philman
Moon Face that was pretty good I actually lol'd
It probably adds to his neck pain too lol
Moon Face Now I wanna see one of those waving arms guys at gas stations but with phils face xD
Moon Face oh god yes!
It's the italian in him
Yay for Rachel and Jun!!
Erin P. I love them so much
I was way too excited when Jun's video got mentioned lol
Erin P. Don't forget their adorable cats
Yay...a comment about Rachel and Jun ✌️ 😃
I hope someone links this video to them ^^ I have been watching rachel and jun for a couple of years, and finally another recognition for them :D
Thank you for sharing that censored speech. So glad to see the support he got from his peers. This is the kind of news I want to see!
This is the only way i get my news tbh
what are you specifically referring to?
Same, as plenty would probably agree. Way too much bias in current "news" establishments (online and offline).
Bella Lugosi check out redacted tonight! I love that guy he's so honest 😁 or wearechange
both are great I personally like RT a bit more
greetings
Get your news from a wide variety of sources he is probably less bias than most no one can truly be completely unbiased even how hard they tried
Nellie Olsen You must be new here? Phil will gladly admit to his errors. I've been watching him for years.
Yeah, Rachel and Jun are awesome. I've used to watch them a lot but kind of stopped after a while. I was surprised they showed up here. Maybe this is a sign to start watching their videos again. 😁
That woman had the audacity to demand a white doctor for her son and then claim that _she's_ the one being victimized because of her race?!
Get Rekt A lot of prejudice people have a victim complex.
Get Rekt
That is what women do.
Scary, isn't it? People can actually be this stupid.
david doroteo Actually, it's what racist people do. Don't make this into something it isn't.
Typical if you ask me
i am a white australian and after watching that i just wanted to say i have a awesome black english doctor who i always call to make sure is in when i go. just felt like i needed to say that.
didn't expect Jun to get featured in PhilyD's video, that is awesome. Rachel&Jun fans anyone?
Alvin Tay Me! :D
Haku FTW! :D
I love them!
I am! I was so pleasantly surprised to see Jun's cooking channel featured, I cheered :'D
Fuck!!! Thank you for helping me figure out why he looked so familiar!!!
That knife video was very pleasant indeed
I can't believe they caught off his microphone like that! He was so calm and respectful like Phil said. This makes that school look sooooo bad.
This mother should be ashamed of herself. How dare you put your prejudices and racist views before the welfare of your child.Your child is sick it shouldn't matter what the colour of the doctor's skin is ( or teeth as I heard her say in the video) if they can help your child get better than that all that matters. and Fyi doctors who come from other countries to canada have to go through more training and schooling before they can practice medicine here so they are more qualified than a white doctor who went to school here in canada.
Rachel and Jun!!!!!
I know! When I saw that I was like "hey it's them!!!"
That valedictorian was so perfectly executed and it just further proves his point when the microphone cut off, Peter is going somewhere.
She said she's seeking therapy, this implies something traumatizing happened to her. Why would you need therapy for something that you don't remember or wasn't traumatizing.
I agree its fishy, but not remembering something important like that can be traumatizing in itself.
I take anti-depressants, and once my doctor proscribed a cheaper, supposedly better working, drug than the one he had me on at the time. This drug had a very rare side effect of short term memory loss, I took the drug for a year, and found out from my loved ones that I had been acting a little weird during that year. I would ask questions I had already asked before or tell people I wanted to go do something with them and we had done that very thing a day or week before.
When I discovered this it was pretty frightening, I had no memory what so ever, of several weeks worth of my life, I had no idea what I had done during those days and weeks. I could have done some bad things and never known id done them until the consequences of my actions rolled around. Thankfully the worst thing that happened was I annoyed my girlfriend because I wanted to watch a movie that we had already watched several times, but it could have been worse.
I'm not really defending this woman. I believe she was in the wrong here, she shouldn't have commented on the matter before knowing what actually happened. The fact that she did comment so quickly makes me believe she was trying to hide something. But I can understand a need for therapy of some sort, just the thought that you might have been raped while under the influence would be frightening enough to warrant it.
it doesnt matter what these fame seekers say. theyll say anything
@GiantSavage117
I'm not saying it's not possible by any means, hearing everyone say something horrible happened to you could make you need therapy, no doubt. The thing is, in your case you know what happened, you know something out of your control took place, and it affected people in your life.
In this case, she is, in my opinion, either 1. getting therapy based on what people are telling her happened, or 2. something horrible did happen, but she's just not talking about it. I would normally lean towards the latter case because victims aren't often outspoken, but there seems to be too much evidence pointing to nothing like that taking place.
Bottom line, if something bad happens to me and I don't remember, I could need therapy to help me process what happened and move on from it, but I'm not sure I'd call that being traumatized. Maybe it's just me and I'm totally wrong on how I'm basing that, it's just my dumbass opinion lol.
Well lets say, you woke up one morning after binge drinking and do not remember anything but then your friend calls you or comes over to ask you if you're ok? Or to tell you that you were violated when you were drunk; just learning that and not being 100 percent sure that you were not raped, can cause someone trauma. Not everyone has the same mental state and there for some are easily traumatized while others aren't. I know if I was in that position, I would freak out and go straight to a hospital to make sure. I wouldn't have my peace of mind until I found out the truth.
Backlash
I love Rachel and Jun! This is the first time I have seen Phil put a TH-camr I watch in today in awesome!
Why would you cut his mic off? How is that a good idea when there are potentially thousands of witnesses with phones that like record their children's graduation specially the parents of the valedictorian they want to save that speech no matter what.
falcore316 The Streisand effect is real
Probably because the person who gave the order to cut his mic was one of those authoritarian dicks he was referring to.
falcore316 "Hey, he's saying we have too much power over the student government, let's literally show we have too much power over the class President."
falcore316 the mother saying she was proud when he kept speaking. yes ma'am!!!
From my experience, he was most likely warned beforehand that if he went off script his mic would be cut. For my graduation we had all the submitted and approved speeches typed out and sitting on the podium. That being said, had he written what he actually wanted to say in the speech he submitted, he would have probably been forced to rewrite it.
14:01 I also had a speech to give at my school almost exactly like Peter's and my microphone was also cut off. Pisses me off.
Lol the guy recording the racist lady sounds so annoyed from his breathing.
He was probably like "...this bitch"
Just a shout-out and a big thank you from Denmark.
Spending the last month preparing for 2 exams (both passed, first one Monday, second one today), my head has been swamped with way to much code and theory and ARGH! , and PDS has been the highlight of my evenings - it's around midnight here when your show is published.
Thank you, Mr. DeFranco. You, Sir, rock!
You should make a shirt called
"BE A BAMF"
Nick Baker yes!
yooo i need this!!!!
Mccree?
Yes please!
I was kind of really hoping that the kid had come prepared with a 2nd mic and would have pulled it out after they cut the first one. That would have made it absolutely perfect.
I did not know that was an option at the doctors! Next time I'm gonna ask for a Green doctor!
What about a doctor with blue and maroon stripes, you fucking racist
Is the green doctor's medical ability powered by his courage?
LonewolfSaichi I didn't know the hulk was a doctor.
david17716 well yeah? hello Doctor Bruce Banner... lol
Sir Oinks Alot ewww... I don't like that one... he wears a CGI Scrub...
I am in college, and I have seen multiple groups of teens, high school students, come to our campus and speak. speak intelagently and with conviction about some important issues, both outside the lecture halls protesting, and or exersizing free speach, or in lecture halls as invited guest. What is age when it comes to free speach. Everyone should have at least some control over their own lives. Don't you agree Phil?
Michael + Nicole well said
Thank you, I am somewhat tired of people dumping on others simply because they are young or a part of a generation bellow them. It often comes from a place of naivety, and lack of understanding about how capable that age group or generation is. People grow up and forget that at that age they two once had opinions, perspectives, and insight. They too learned something at that age about the world.
JUNS KITCHEN IS AMAZING. I CAMT DESCRIBE HOW CALM I FEEL AFTER EVERY VIDEO. AHHHHHH THE CATS ARE SO CUTE.
The fact that they cut off his mic is hilarious. What a great way to make the school seem even worse
i hope peter makes a video where he finishes his speech because at that time he had the support of his peers and their parents now the internet has his back. He is the future LET HIM SPEAK!
WOOOOOO HE TALKED ABOUT JUNS CHANNEL (which btw it's joon phonetically lol) AHHHHHH I'M SO HAPPY FOR HIM, he is such a wonderful youtuber, with a wonderful wife who he also has a main channel with called Rachel & Jun. People should 100% go check them out if they're interested in seeing what Japan is about and their adventures together!
Demi Demon Philip defranco also mentioned Abroad in Japan a while back. It was the teaching Japanese people how to say fuck lol
Demi Demon sorry :P poo hats FTW
what does the colour of skin have to do with speaking English. a large chunk of Europe is whit and dont speak English as a first language even Canada there's a chance the doctor be talking french!
Racism, that's what.
Right? I've talked to white people in Canada with accents so heavy I couldn't understand them, and of course there are TONS of Canadians who were born here of a large variety of races. Why can't racists learn that language =/= race
Phil, given your enthusiasm for Robot Sumo, you should really check out the old UK TV show Robot Wars. They did a revival recently with Dara O'Briain, but the Craig Charles era was the motherfucking bomb! Best Friday afterschool TV!
Dima Vasilev LET THE WARS, BEGIN!!!
Dima Vasilev they actually did a reboot of Robot wars recently. I know for fact for two seasons, but I don't know if they have a third.
Jun's kitchen is so relaxing.
Hi DeFranco I love watching your videos. I would like if you cover the fire that is happening in Portugal were 64 people lost their lives trying to escape from the fire, our firefightrs are working ward to conten this fire. 🇵🇹💔
rita pombeiro our thoughts goes to Portugal, from Brazil.
Lol, that's a walk in clinic in Mississauga. The place is a dump, but I've been there a few times because they're open til 11pm.
0:05 Phil can we one day not "...just jump into it" just to see what happens?
Morilin lol
😂😂😂
Cmon bro. tell me you have never heard him say "....and before we jump into it"
as a canadian who has spent my entire life close to where that incident went down, I hope i'd have the balls to confront someone like that if it was happening right next to me. we're not immune to shit heads but I very rarely see people yelling that kind of bullshit, she is not a representation of the way we do things
Are you a parent? Do you have your own bills to pay? I'd be piss like her if this was my 2nd trip to the hospital and not giving help to cure the problem. A trip to the ER (chest pain issues) is 2k at least this is at least a 2nd visit 10:40. No she shouldn't be a racist but bitch do you want to pay 4k for a hospital visit that the doctor fucked up on? So I can see why she is upset.
ER trips are paid by government insurance in Canada, mate. The money wasn't the problem here
fasddfadfgasdgs, been to ER in ontario. if i remember correctly, paid 20 CAD. Was driven to ER by ambulance, cause people thought that i drank too much. This too was in province of ontario. My bill was 80 CAD. So, before making assumptions, get ur facts straight. Also, im white (with yellow teeth) and if i was a doctor and on staff that time, that women would be really pissed with her request for white doctor. English is my 3rd language and i do have accent when talking to someone. My point is, she thinks that every white doctor(?) is better and has better teeth than every doctor of other skin colour. This is racism in nutshell.
Phil, I just wanted to thank you for the respect with which you covered Otto's story today. I attend the same university as Otto, and although I didn't now him personally, the whole community has been in a state of shock and grief over the last few days of news around him. It makes me sick to my stomach to read articles and comments that deem it "his fault" that these atrocities were committed against him and that a young man with so much potential was essentially murdered at the hands of a foreign government. Unfortunately, due to the disputable evidence, no one will ever know if Otto truly did steal that poster, but regardless, the punishment he received was uncalled for. I've also read a number of articles that focus this story on him being a white male and white privilege, and even some articles that claim because he attends our university, that he must have been raised getting everything he wanted and never being told no, and that his family only encouraged this behavior in his upbringing, and seeing this makes my heart hurt that such a tragedy could happen and people point their fingers at the family who is engulfed in grief. The levelheadedness with which you covered this story gives me so much faith and brings the focus back to the victims of this story. Thank you.
I will make a generalization: The Huff post, as a whole, is a complete joke.
My friend knew Otto. North Korea NEEDS to pay for what they have done. Idk how, but we are not going to forget this.
Its natural selection.
and stole from North Korea. Now that I think of it, this could of all been a dare from one of his friends or something. Its THAT childish.
Bradley Dalton Fuck You
Nate Vids AVENGE HIM
Dank senzu weed 420 HE didnt do anything to deserve 15 years hard labour and tortured into a coma. Even if he did try to steal a poster, which he may not have, a fine wouldve been too much anyways. punishment.
Jesus Christ, that poor kid. Hopefully he won't take that as proper behavior as a human being.
I can tell he's going to go through a lot of suffering because of that terrible mother. Why the police didn't take her son from her baffles me. She clearly cared more about her racist views than her own sons health. A parent that does that is no parent at all. When you have a child, nothing else matters more than that childs health and safety. That is the duty of a parent. If you don't want that duty or are not ready for it, don't have a child. Parents can be so fucking selfish.
RangAH DangAH I honestly thought that you were talking about the kid with the speech
Even if he DID steal the poster, its borderline sociopathic to say anyone deserved such a nightmarish punishment. How can anyone think that was okay???
Because common sense would tell you not to do that stupid shit. What’s Phil’s favorite slogan? “Don’t be stupid, stupid” or maybe it’s “Fuck around and find out” either way it fits🤷🏿♂️
Ok, you are getting epic. You keep finding these people who are changing the world without trolling rage, screaming and hate. I love you bring these videos to light and showing the kids and fans these are the people who should be celebrated. Normal news is celebrating crappy role models, or worse, celebrating evil wicked people. Thank you Franko! Love your work
I just finished writing a short book that covers this North Korea situation. Its called "How to not get murdered by a crazy dictator".
Page 1 of 1
Don't fucking go to that fucking country.
I was naive..... i honestly didnt think people like that woman still existed. My mind in blown.
Quick599 lol I did too. honestly as a minority myself, I never experienced shit like that, never had friends who are black/brown experience it, and had never seen it ....until 2 days ago. some lady was yelling at a taxi driver for texting while driving and I was like "yaaas girl". and then she started yelling go back to your country three times. I was shocked. we were in crowded streets of Boston near Newbury street. weirdest thing is she looked like she was Hispanic. wtf is wrong with the world
You sit through articles like that Huffpost piece, there's a terrorist attack every other day, and the media lies about both. You're surprised people are becoming less tolerant?
Quick599 really? People segregate themselves all the time. But it's only acknowledged as bad if you're white. I'm not for it, but there is a double standard here.
Quick599 same, I feel like she was trolling, can't wrap my head around that if it was real
I also like that in her head White = Canadian = English speaker. like... she does know that that white doctor could speak French. Given, not that likely in Ontario, but like.. who tells you he's not an immigrant (as she's basically accusing every non-white doctor of). In her mind apparently Europe and Russia don't exist.
Why is she on the Bachelor if she has a boyfriend?
xBluegamerx money
Because she isn't married.
xBluegamerx Degree?
because it's a fucking act. none of the shit is real. it's all scripted and fake.
"Boyfriend" in this instance most likely means hanging out on weekends and smoking weed together and fucking like rabbits. Most likely not a serious boyfriend whatsoever
the mom saying "I'm so proud of him". honestly I think if I tried to do that my parents would get so pissed with me
My faith in humanity is starting to slip away. People are just so shitty. We need more logic and understanding in this world. Love you all. :)
Unfortunately the shitty parts are way more prevalent and publicized than the good.
that last kid, you can hear his voice crack up out of the emotion of saying those things, that took balls.....
I wonder if a younger me would have being able to do that... I doubt it
You can never get rid of racism.
Explain.
the teachers so proved his point! well done! thanks for sharing Phil
In the bachelor or whatever story, I remember you saying the guy was also drunk when the incident happens... Why is it that society only think only women can be victim of rape while drunk? The definition of rape is the absence of consent. If both participant are drunk and can't give a consent with a clear mind, wouldn't both of them have mutually raped each other?
alelouya1 I agree, why is it only his fault??
The difference is if she was unconscious, which is what was being claimed by the person who made the complaint. If there's a drunk person and an unconscious person, the drunk person is at fault because the person who is passed out literally cannot say yes or no.
alelouya1 someone who makes sense
Jessica You don't need to know my last name It's been concluded by the studio and law firm that it's not his fault. No one is saying it is at this point. Beforehand it was undetermined so of course people took sides.
I agree that both men and women can be raped while drunk. If these two were both drunk, had sexual relations and that was it, that would mean they were in the same state of mind, and more than that, one is not taking advantage of the other regardless of sex, but I'd say this story isn't the same.
So the issue here is that she allegedly passed out, then the sexual acts happened and it became a non-consenting situation. She also never points the finger to him. She believes the crew, whom are responsible for her wellbeing on the show, should have intervened the moment they saw she went "limp" (had the allegations been true). It seems to me that she made it clear she understood that he was inebriated and might not have properly stopped said non-consenting acts.
He said she was conscious and they were both drunk and being sexual, she said she doesn't remember but thinks something bad happened, but if she was unconscious and something did happen it's the company's fault for not supervising properly, witnesses were confusing and the report says there was no non-consent.
The one that are supposed to be under judgement/fault in this particular scenario, had the claim been true, is the show's crews/producers/those that were supposed to protect her from harm, not the guy.
I hope that woman's son was taken to a Dominican doctor. This way she gets the perfect combination of someone who looks black, but also speaks Spanish.
Adrian Soto And is dodging taxes.
Adrian Soto BTW it was a joke about the corruption in the DR. Don't lynch me.
lmao, recently Canada has been getting exposed😂
Styles P'yall yeah bud. im Canadian, its about time people realised that there are bad apples up here.
Ohh, gonna look that up now, lol.
Styles P'yall yea people think my country Canada is a paradise but just like any country it's not perfect. we got our share of racists :(
LOOK UP THE DOCUMENTARY "OH CANADA OUR BOUGHT AND SOLD OUT LAND"... every single Canadian should see it atleast once
I think it is a targeted effort by members of the United States administration to discourage citizens from migrating to Canada.
:)
As a Canadian from this area of Ontario, this woman is horrible. She is a complete disgrace to all of us. It is never OK to treat someone this way. I am so horrified by this.
