It’s funny that one of the most famous people in the UK is called Chris Evans and yet he’s not the most famous Chris Evans by a long shot
catscatsyeahcats
I actually love him.
xizar
Keaton might be a duck... that drinks milkshakes.
Svge
I gotta admit, I'm a firm believer that children have to be challenged in life so they can experience more & be more capable adults
chonkywayner
I feel like his mom posting that picture of him is kind of a dick move.
Cowfister
Ugly kids are ugly and Hollywood is full of fake ass b****es.
vanella
for someone who insists he is nothing like Steve Rogers, he surely acts like Steve Rogers a lot....
allenCookieDiver
What if the kid was like “ no thanks. That movie looks crappy”
Vysard
Chris Evans just wants to invite that kid's mom.
Sapherno11
I love how a lot of the Avengers team offered comments and support as well :)
TCGView
Sucks that Chris Evans got sucked into this whole shit storm. I hope he finds a graceful way to step away from it.

This whole Keaton thing is a cluster. Kid was calling other kids the N-word and was called out. That's why he was crying.
Edutittam
His racist mother is asking for go fund me donations in lieu of other support. Donations for...uhh? I just feel double worse for the kid now

Apparently the mom is really money hungry and a huge racist.

I was thinking this was about Michael Keaton until I read the word school.

ShowMeBunnies
I'm still not convinced he's not.

Agreed Michael keaton needs to see this.
InfocalypseRising
This is nice and all, but I can't help wondering if he'd still do it if he couldn't broadcast it to a bazillion followers.

Do what, offer tickets? I think so, it doesn't cost him much of anything.

Doesn't matter. Human nature is that when we see good like this it makes us more likely to do good.

Tons of kids get bullied and can’t even get help so why is this kid so special?
zakisbak
Because he got bullied for half pressing A
EnderMoth

So everyone can throw their support at one convenient target and feel like they are doing their part in stopping bullying.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Because he went viral and others can bask in his reflected glory.
Beastly93
Because not everyone has the courage to vocalize their pain to family. Friends. Let alone the internet. People see that. Least I did.
PerkyPineapple
Because he cried on camera
PiggyWobbles
and it was so totally sad
korvazor
I was wondering that. I was bullied during middle school but I eventually stood up for myself... No celebrities or shit to help me.
MechaNinja
His mom is a racist 'n' shit. Everyone who said something nice about/to him is getting feces thrown at them by the monkeys on twitter.
PersonalityFire
And it turns out the racist profile was fake.
MechaNinja
God damnit. Why is the internet such a garbage barge? Thanks, fam.

The racist accounts were fake, but the mom just wants money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtfsosCtJyY

They were quick to set up a go fund me page to go with this video, like WTF for?

Sauce?
LionSundress
A GoFundMe page that had been set up for Keaton with nearly $60,000 has been shut down and is no longer accepting donations.
superhans1988
No fucking way!
LionSundress
2nd GFM page, reportedly started by Ms Jones to solicit money for Keaton's xmas gifts has been shut down due to fraud concerns, acc. to TMZ.
LionSundress
Maybe it was others trying to profit? they also have a paypal account set up for donations
perkdrip
Everyone's crying but me.
P0kEy
For all the people saying "fight back" please understand you're wrong. Usually it just leads to even worse torment and cruelty. Just 1
idkalan
When I was 12, I didn't have to physically fight back against a bully. All I had to do was grab a condom add lotion & chuck it at him.
idkalan
Then let the class see that he had something that looked like semen on his back. Then the class started ridiculing him.
idkalan
You don't have to fight back, physically, but to deliberately chose not to do anything only guarantees that you'll still be the bitch
P0kEy
Because you saw it on an after school special doesn't mean it works in real life. So please don't have children for the good of the people.2
EarlGreyOrDeath
I didn't see it on a after school special, I had a a bad day and fucking did it. Oh, and it fucking worked.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Exactly.If you're weaker or evenly matched,it just leads to an arms race. Fighting back only works if you're able to demolish the opposition
IonlycommentTroyandAbedgifs
showing your willing to stand up to them speaks volumes whether or not you win
bad52292
Not true. So you may get beat up. No big deal. Non-violent behavior doesn't work in every situation
ILikeToCallItLostWages
MMA fighter offered to fly the kid out to the gym to watch a fight and maybe train. Mom just insisted on asking for money from the guy.

According to that woman's daughter that was a conversation with a fake profile- not her Mom

Fight back is the actual answer. Super unpopular thing to say in the era of time outs and sage spaces, but some times tried and true works

Damn straight
BurgandyPlumes
I completely disagree, not because it’s “popular” to fantasize how words can solve every problem, but because violence is never a solution.
l677908
Not necessarily agreeing that fighting is the answer but "violence is never a solution" is a silly thing to say. It's patently false.

My dad always taught me never start a fight, but if you're out of options you better finish the fight.

Sage spaces? What about mage spaces
SirSage
How about you stop hesitating and make the leap from mage to sage.
cheeseguy3412
I put up with it for all my life until 11th grade. I was 300 pounds, 6.2 feet tall. Fought back once, was left alone after that.
P0kEy
Lol and what about the kids who are 5.5 and a 130 pounds, and their bully is your size? Fighting back 9 out of 10 times isnt the right answr
cheeseguy3412
Not going to say you're wrong, I can only share my own experience. I was the little guy most of those years.
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
Only if he is smaller. If he is bigger than the bully, no matter what the other kid is doing, he'll get most if not all blame for the fight.
RexLion
Well that sort of depends if you can win
IKnowYouHateMeYes
Nah, give it a go no matter what. You will get beaten no matter what, might as well go down fighting. You might even win some.
AbulonDeRosasSombreritoMusgoDeTuSolFruncido
I grew up on the slumps of Mexico City (one of too many) and by general rule even if u can't win it was better to try rather than don't

Sometimes the kid getting bullied gets thumped even worse than before too. Your logic is dated and flawed. Back in my day............

Minsi
I know a kid who had to bite his way out of a stranglehold in 3rd grade. CPS was called because of his violent tendencies.
Minsi
Kinda made a mess of the kid (and his parents) since he felt he was being punished for self defence. Nothing came to the bullies.
ThomasMontgomeryHaverford
Personally, I found just standing strong without fighting works quite well. Don't shrink back, don't cower, don't react. Bullying is all 1/
ThomasMontgomeryHaverford
about the feeling of power over someone. If you don't wince or shrink back, you deny the feeling of power without putting yourself at risk.2

SirSage
I approve this message
pinkypiesbutt
LOL, ooops
gamblingpoet
As someone who has worked with kids for 8 years, I can tell you time outs and safe spaces are good things. So is standing up for yourself.
gamblingpoet
If this kid told his teachers and school staff, and they didn't remedy the problem, they should all be sued and fired because this is 100%
gamblingpoet
unacceptable. Kids shouldn't be afraid of going to school because of the behavior of other kids.
nowthisusernameistaken
That's nice of him and everything, but isn't his mom super racist?
TexTexTex
Yep.
QuasiIntellectualChimpanzee
This is a so-called teachable moment for this kid. And if he mom wants to be a fuckface over it, enough ppl will see it for what it is.
TheScurvyWalnut
TFW Captain America has invited a racist to the premiere of a huge movie and hasn't rescinded that offer yet :(
CompressedInfo
The milkshake duck always comes
KaiLovecraft
No the Instagram and Facebook pages of the kids mother are both fake as well as the gofundme
thegriffin88
That doesn't make him racist.
vanella
So it's ok to bully the kid, because the parents are assholes?
Pedobearisaniceguy
What does that have to do with the kid?
NotBigBrother84
It is crazy how his mother can be so against bullying when in fact she herself is a bully..
DixonHillPrivateEye
This is the double edged sword of social media virulence. Remember Ken Bone.
UncleSaam
What did Ken Bone do?
LosPer
Are we judging people by their relatives now? Please...
princessfakecake
According to backlash, he was calling other kids the n-word. So yeah, shitty relatives taught him but his actions -> consequences.
LosPer
Well then, that's him, not his mother. No excuse. However, If we were all judged by our worst relatives we'd all be in trouble.
princessfakecake
Absolutely agree, but his mother's racism definitely makes it more likely that that child learned from her and is suffering bc of it.
georgecostanzalatexsalesman
“ According to backlash”what the fuck does that even mean?
princessfakecake
1/? Just Google it. There were three main "points" to it. 1) some MMA fighter reached out to do a cool event with the kid but the mom just
princessfakecake
4/? Shit on the mom's social media. 3) kids, other parents, and the principal have all given various accounts about the kid's use of the
princessfakecake
3/? Predators. The guy screenshots and posts the exchange. Unclear if that was actually the mom tho. 2) people found a whole bunch of racist
princessfakecake
2/? Wanted money. The MMA fighter refused, and the mom supposedly said like "I thought us whites were supposed to stick together against
princessfakecake
6/? The bullying was their childish attempt to get him to stop using that word.
georgecostanzalatexsalesman
Good explanation. Thanks

5/? N-word towards other students. Apparently (not an excuse, but certainly context) the kid had been calling other students the n-word and

It might be a bit extreme but that kid should get a new family.

If I have to be a super-racist to raise a kid like Chris Evans, is it worth it?
balzanya
I at least got it bud.
nowthisusernameistaken
Not Chris, the kids mom.
UrsusDerpus
Yes. She’s finessing the whole damn internet right now. That kid has also apparently heard calling another kid the n-word
JoshuaArnold561
i don't think that's been confirmed yet
Xyolak
There's been nothing to even suggest the kid said that except roumers
iloveyourdog
It's also a rumor that he had milk poured on him too
LoopStricken
Please, what the fuck is finessing?
UrsusDerpus
Sorry, to finesse someone is slang for deceiving one into doing something for you, usually paying for something.
Rannath
Can also mean convincing instead of deceiving. Though it does usually imply deception in this context. Connotation vs Denotation.
hunglikehodor
I mean no better way to make someone unlearn racism then positive exposure to other ideas, right?
Maetira
Positive exposure, not special treatment. Front row seats to a popular movie premiere? Get fucked.
PirateKingOmega
Yeah theres a big difference between exposing a kid to new people and giving him an ice cream cone.
Phoenixfighter43
nowthisusernameistaken
I wonder where he learned it.
tempokat
Yes, "opening the door." If you shove your kid out for public display, don't be surprise if you're hoist by your own petard of bad actions
Dontshopliftthepooty
+1 for "hoist by your own petard". One of my favorite phrases, don't see it too often. Well done.
oliku
I guess I just assumed that in the old days a petard was a special outfit like a leotard, with a lot of fancy buckles and loops on it,
oliku
and that rich people would wear it when they were feeling especially smug,
oliku
but then poor people could tie a rope to one of the loops, and hoist them up a pole, and then let them dangle there as punishment for being

cocky?
TobiasFunkeAnalrapist
The whole internet loves Milkshake Duck, a lovely duck that drinks milkshakes! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you the duck is racist.
Deadpoolio7
Oh for ducks sake

Not milkshake duck!! Goddam it 2017 is the worst
UrsusDerpus
This was one of the fastest milkshake ducks this year
gamblingpoet
I KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP. He only served vanilla milkshakes, and when I asked about chocolate, he said he doesn't serve "that flavor". WTF?
GreaterDog
And in 2017 fashion, also a rapist! (As most male ducks are)

But it comes with your choice of topping!

WizardofAnus
Who cares? You don't get rid of racism by being shitty back to people. You kill issues like that with kindness and thoughtful action.
PirateKingOmega
Giving the kid special treatment doesn't unlearn racism, exposing him to new people away from his mother will.
WizardofAnus
Sure. Let's talk about solutions and ways to help. But "this kid doesn't deserve such and such" isn't productive or helpful to anyone.
Rannath
Didn't the greatest downturn in racism in recent history follow the Holocaust?
WizardofAnus
Post hoc, ergo prompter hoc. Prove that bloodshed is what caused it, and I'll grab my pitchfork.
Rannath
The concept never again.
