When Kevon Smith Sr. sat down for breakfast at ? Barrel with his son Kevon Jr. in Willoughby, OH, he had no idea he was going to make headlines just for being a good dad.
Kevon noticed a couple staring and smiling at him and his 3-month-old son, and although he was confused, he just went on with the meal. "I noticed this older couple over in the corner," he said. "They kept smiling at me and I was looking at my son like, 'What is going on?'"
But when Kevon left the restaurant, it all made sense, as he saw a note on his car from the couple praising his parenting along with cash to cover his breakfast.
"Today your meal is on my wife and me," it read. "Enjoy that baby as long as ? intends. Keep doing what you're doing. The Masons."
These strangers were so amazed by Kevon and his relationship with his son, and he was just as moved by their generosity. "There's a lot of guys I know that aren't taking care of their kids," Kevon Sr. said, adding that he'll absolutely share the story with his son when he gets older to teach him that a little kindness can go a long way.
"I'm definitely going to make sure I'm paying it forward," he said. "I get blessed. I want to bless someone else."
Cool story. He could have kept that other ? to himself though.
Disagree. Parenting is something we have total control of, and could have a huge impact on our current and future generation directly. I have zero sympathy for any man who is embarrassed by this story, in fact, guys who don't parent their kids aren't men in my eyes to begin with. That goes for mothers too who play ? games keeping men from seeing their kids.
So, you agree that it is ok to be ? a ? by mentioning other fathers who aren't taking care of their kids while being given accolades for taking care of yours?
A simple thank you , and a show of appreciation would have sufficed. Mentioning other men who the public doesn't know is, fuccc ? behavior. More importantly the ? could be lying. He out here trying to grab more points like the ? he is doing is above average because, he knows alot of guys who aren't taking care of their children. I'm not rocking with that.
Lastly this ? flexing like he doing something. His sun is 3 months old. Holler at us if your azz is still around and seeing him off to college.

Bruh, the ? y'all talking about is prolly the thing that annoys me most in life. I be in meetings at my son's school and they be acting like I ain't even there. They only EVER address his mother. I've had to make it comfortable for a couple people there to get them to understand that when I'm present - which is always - you need to address me as this kid's parent as much as you do his mom and give me the same attention and detailed information you would give her.
? don't even stop there. Imagine sitting in the recovery room right after your kid had surgery and the doctor is giving after-care instructions and ? and not acknowledging your presence at all. I usually will nip that ? in the bud after a certain amount of time, but I was so ? pff while simultaneously trying to pay attention to every word he said to even address it. My ex had to be like 'Yeah, the kid is going to be with dad this week so you should prolly let him in on this party, too.'.

^^^^^
yall ? was all in feelings in that thread tho.
remember....just be happy of the girl or the moment
all these fatherless or misguided people but we should overlook someone spending time with his child
i guess only i see a bigger picture and how full of ? some people are
Those situations aren't even comparable tho....lol
are you serious.......
you completely missed the point and they have more in common than you think
Help me understand what i missed...
Because IMO, the story in this thread isnt newsworthy. The white couple only did whag they did because they bought in to the stereotype that black men dont raise their children. Had the brother been white, it would have never happened.
The story about the father suprising his daughter getting out of jail would still play on people's emotions even if they were white.
What point are you trying to make? -
people were in the feels because they were reunited..
i saw a dog cry once when a ? came home from the war......? made everybody get in their feels -

Obviously the stereotype about the absentee black father exists. You're right about that ? . But the way that father in general is minimized in this country is crazy. I could DEFINITELY see this happening if all parties involved were white. -

Maybe the mother kept those fathers away from their kids as you always suggest? How he know the reason why those other men are not in their kids lives? -

people really gotta stop buying into this stigma that we're not capable of anything other than what the stereotypes would have us believe.....like anything contrary to white popular belief is somehow going against the odds..
motherfukers congratulating me for feeding my child in a restaurant?
? seriously?
I agree but I have had this happen to me. By Black folks and others. I too have found myself smiling and appreciating seeing brothers and sisters out and about doing things with their children. So, I don't think it's always a case of us being stereotyped.
I think the father stereotyped Black men by randomly mentioning "guys who don't take care of their kids". That's some fucc ? .
Honestly though. Who are these dudes rolling with? I don't know a large number of Black men that aren't taking care of their children. We may not all do it on the same scale, frequency, consistency or by the same methodology but just not doing at all. I cannot say I know anyone like that. -

Nah man, it ain't even just white people. Black people do the same ? . I can't tell you how many times I've been walking with my daughter and had some old black woman come up to me saying ? like "Ahh that's nice that you spend time with your daughter. Keep it up."
Like people really buy into this fairy tale that black men don't give a ? about their kids. The crazy thing is there are two parks in my area that I take my kids too and at both of them, the majority of the time you'll see the fathers running around with the kids. The mothers that are there are usually sitting on the benches running their mouths. But let the world tell it black men aren't engaged at all.
word, my son acted a damn ass in school yesterday and i went ham on his ass when i picked him up yesterday,
i apologized to my wife's grandmom, but i had just gotten off the phone cuz with the teacher and was a little ? ....and i didn't speak when i first walked in i went straight into parenting mode.....
she's all like
"oh it's all right...we just glad he has a father in his life"
Hell nah, your grandmom-in-law was wrong for that ? . lol -
I would've been offended

And that's fine, for us to be extremely involved and present and shirk their expectations. Cool. Dandy. But once I'm actually present in a meeting, etc, what is the excuse then, ya know? Didn't expect a father to show up for whatever reason and he does? That's one thing. But then when he DOES show up for everything and your instinct is STILL to only address mom, that's a bigger slap in the face. -

@2stepz_ahead Naw it's definitely a bunch of ? ? out there not taking care of their kids. But personally, I can't even be friends with a ? who ain't taking care of his kid(s). There ain't really no excuse for the ? , in my book.

But then when he DOES show up for everything and your instinct is STILL to only address mom, that's a bigger slap in the face.
man i hated that ? .....
those schools try to act like you just showing up to be present and should have no input or you have no idea what going on....? used to burn me up. -
So wait, these people peeped dude from the parking lot hopping out his whip?
How they know he the papi ...... could've been baby sitting or kidnapping (stranger things have happened) ....... come on, y'all know dayum well nosey ass cac would have rolled up on dude with a thousand questions and probably would have touched the kids hair and would have said some dumb ? like "let us take care of your bill because we don't think they take ebt here"
Smiling the whole time.
Instead of telling their server to cover his bill, they put money on his car ?
I like feel good stories but I don't like the smell of ? -

^^^^^
yall ? was all in feelings in that thread tho.
remember....just be happy of the girl or the moment.
we celebrate a man coming out of jail and thats a happy moment but a man with his child in ? barrel is overlooked..
make that make sense
all these fatherless or misguided people but we should overlook someone spending time with his child
i guess only i see a bigger picture and how full of ? some people are
The reason why the guy in this thread is being condescendingly commended for being a father and in turn condescendingly derides other black men is due to the false narrative that black men don't raise their children. The irony of you bringing that other video up as a comparison is that the reason that stereotype exists is due to these devils systematically locking up young black males for ridiculous amounts of time over trumped up drug charges or just straight-up ? .
