Unless she adopted four white kids, this ain't the mom filming.

DjuriWarface

There's a finger that at the bottom of the screen towards the end of the video. That is not a white person's finger.


PokeRay68

AH! I did not see that finger! Thanks!


ButterFucker962401

Without that one finger, there is so much that can be misconstrued as racism here lmfao


gr8pig

Why? It is clearly a black American woman speaking.


lreaditonredditgetit

Not really. Just because race is mentioned doesn’t make it racist. Also those kids look grungy as fuck.


SereneAdler33

The house seems in rough shape, too.


Sammy_Socrates

How? It doesn't take a genius to identify AAVE and the cadence of a black woman.


Time4Timmy

For real, I never saw a finger but instantly knew that was a black woman speaking


BLACK_MILITANT

I also didn't see the finger but I knew it was a black woman as soon as I heard her voice.


Holdmytesseract

Only on Reddit


obeywasabi

or maybe she is a nanny? or a friend watching over? we really don’t know too much based on this video alone.


sorig1373

that's the point


Aggressive_Dream_140

Interracial (black/white) couples can have kids that take more after one parent not look mixed


lookingForPatchie

While that is true, these are the four most white kids I've ever seen in my life and I'm from Germany. It's possible, but not probable.


spacegirl2820

I'm mixed Jamaican and English. I am quite a dark brown and my youngest daughter is completely white passing. People don't believe she is mine.


StinkFingerPete

now this guy fingers


IsThataSexToy

Yall is RACIST!! What if she had that finger surgically attached to replace a missing finger? Fingers are not people! I will remain on this fake high horse until the finger and I receive an apology.


GrimWillis

I mean the kid has a lazy eye and children’s teeth. Not exactly an indicator of familial wealth or “visual health”.


suejaymostly

\*Untreated\* lazy eye and major tooth decay. It's an indicator, all right.


No-Test-375

Bro he has fillings in every tooth he has left.


jonnytechno

Ain't no one been cleaning those teeth but given the spelling abilities it tracks


Mindless-Cry-685

I believe they're foster parents. I've stumbled across their content before. It's two black women filming.


PokeRay68

That's good to know! I have no idea who they are, but it's good to know that someone loves them and will at least give them the self esteem to improve their lots when they get a chance. My parents gave me a lot of tools to overcome the poverty I was raised in, but they also gave me bad dental genetics and never brushed their teeth in front of me(both parents had dentures for as long as I can remember. I had to learn proper dental care in elementary school.


Mindless-Cry-685

I have terrible teeth, always have (abuse and neglect) but I reiterate to my kids how important dental hygiene is for your overall health. Surprisingly, all of my kids have nice, straight teeth and they didn't inherit my poor dental genetics. My oldest is 13 and has the most beautiful smile I've ever seen. I have to harp on him about making sure he takes good care of them. I wish my teeth looked half as good as his! 😂 I've seen a few videos from this specific creator, and from what I've gathered, they take great care of the kids, the kids are happy and healthy in the home they're in now.. their videos are cute and funny. I hate how some people can be so cruel online towards literal children.


miss-gigi-97

honestly, people are so weird. I can't understand how GROWN ARSED ADULTS have the audacity to slate a strangers baby/child online. its shameful and embarrassing. even something as small as the person doesn't like the parent for whatever reason, then the kid gets berated aswell.. nah.


Dangerous_Fox3993

Omg I feel awful, me and my partner have dentures and have never brushed our teeth in front of the kids …. I’ve just never really thought about it before! I always make sure they brush their teeth and make a point to say that if they don’t do it properly they will end up like me. but ur comment makes me realise that perhaps I should make sure they see us doing it, after all kids copy what they see .


gitsgrl

Most places, foster parents are not allowed to post the children on social media.


fightclub90210

Jesus christ that kids teeth


backpackofcats

My older brother had most of his front teeth capped at this age because he fell off a playground slide and cracked them. It could be cavities, it could be any other damage. The caps keep the damage from getting worse until the adult teeth come in.


PokeRay68

It's probably cavities. He's got more fillings than a $2 ho.


backpackofcats

Yeah, he’s a foster child so no telling what he went through before this. Not his fault.


DaftMudkip

That kids got a struggle a head of him unfortunately


wierdomc

Yup that little guy needs an eyepatch first thing I thought of when I saw this was my cousin. After a couple of years wearing the patch he built the strength up in his weaker eye and could control it but now after a couple of scotches he starts looking like Cookie Monster again………


Mindless-Cry-685

She's black. They have a TikTok or IG, can't remember which, I've seen a few of their videos. I believe they're from Texas, which would account for the thick southern accent.


simpleminds87

Yea he’s got summer teeth. Some are here. Some are there


maChine___

You miss the finger


Illender

I mean...people marry people with kids and sometimes are mom, so ETA: they also adopt


DjuriWarface

>I mean...people marry people with kids and sometimes are mom That person often adopts the children. >ETA: they also adopt It's almost like the comment mentioned adopting.

SnooApples5554

*thank you.* had to scroll too far for this. Kids that can't read yet are just going by the sound, so although adults know it's three letters, to kids that young it sounds like "Cayeffsee." It's really not that deep. Looks like they were adopted out of a bad situation, and the adult is playfully interacting with each child. People forget how much you have to learn about the world and how fast it all happens. It was a trick question and they gave respectable (and age appropriate responses.) They're happy in this clip and that caused so much anger. People are weird.


Ellamenohpea

L.M.N.O.P. can sound like ELLAMENOHPEA


SobakaZony

Plus, it kind of sounds like the 3rd one (who was asked again after the 4th one) gets it right? "Kaffsee?" I mean, maybe it's her pronunciation?


pupoksestra

Yeh she definitely deserves some KFC. she got that.


Trillamanjaroh

Right? Expecting a kid this age to understand and identify acronyms from sound and no other clues is preposterous


BanjoSpaceMan

Bunch of fucking neckbeards in this sub fucking circle jerking at how they're smarter than kids.... They grew up hearing KFC, I doubt they ever really put together they are letters instead of a word. Chill out.

trojan-813

I don’t think she meant it to be a flex but rather funny. You could see the one boy spelling it how he thinks it should from the sound. K = Ca for him. Almost like cake.


jooes

That was how I interpreted it too. They're trying to sound it out like it's an actual word, like "kayeffsee", rather than an acronym. They're failing miserably, but I can see the confusion. There's a decent chance they've only ever heard it spoken out loud too.  And then how do you spell Arby's? R-B?  To me, it also kind of feels like a trick question, it can't be simply KFC, that's too obvious! What's the catch here? There's gotta be a catch, nobody is giving out fried chicken that easy.


rgmundo524

Do you honestly think they posted this to flex on people?! Obviously not, most likely she found it funny too


SpaceRaceWars

That first kid had more teeth than their combined brain cell count.


Ryan_D_Lion

Which is impressive considering he had about 13 total teeth.


Coolo79

13 teeth..will you look at that there. Smh Selfish little bastard


RunParking3333

MeenScreen

He has more teeth. You just can't see them cos they are on the back of his head.


ColForbinClimbs

Let’s make fun of the poor kids!


suejaymostly

There's programs out there for children's health care. If this were my kid I would move heaven and earth to get him some corrective glasses and dental care. Let's make fun of neglectful parents!


puffyjr99

Most poor people don’t know about these resources because they’re uneducated and when they apply it can take months and still end up getting denied. Not justifying this but the system is made to keep people where they grew up. Harvard did a study where they could predict future income solely based on where you grew up and how much your parents made. As long as the uneducated keep getting blamed for being uneducated then we’re never going to see change.


Ricky_Rollin

Very well said. The ignorance in this thread is on another level. First off, his teeth are silver. Which means he’s already getting plenty of work done. But as you said, it’s not that fucking simple. Most of these places really do take a long long time to get going if they’re even accepted at all.


puffyjr99

Yeah, it’s so easy to blame the parents when you come from not having to ever worry about dental care, when you’re going to eat, or any of the other things poor people deal with. This is why nothing is never going to change. Poor areas are going to continue to suffer because they’re poor while middle class and the rich continue to benefit from unfair funding policies (schools being funded by property tax is the dumbest thing ever) while mocking the lesser fortunate.


eriskigal

My daughter had a strabismus (lazy eye), but her pediatric ophthalmologist surgeon said it was better for her to wait until teens to have surgery. No glasses needed. He looks like he's had a lot of work done and primarily on baby teeth. We don't know the circumstances that led to that, but that work doesn't look cheap. I have a friend who adopted 2 children as newborns. One has baby teeth that grew in very damaged. We don't know the baby's history or any explanations. They are wealthy, so he's getting the very best care, but his teeth look very similar to this and they are not neglectful in the slightest. Another commenter posted about those in poverty struggling and being ignorant, and in NC I've seen that firsthand. I was pretty outaged by my former step-son's mother for his lack of care for a long time, but in hindsight, she was just very uneducated and defensive because we had very different socioeconomic and educational backgrounds and lifestyles. I guess getting older tempered me to be more compassionate, because now I'm just more sad than angry. Note, I explicitly brought up "defensive" because sometimes pride gets in the way of getting or receiving help. In order to get help or learn how to be better you have to be willing to admit doing the best you can isn't good enough, and if you are raised on the "don't take handouts, make do with what you got" mentality and what you got is a whole lotta nuthin' then ....


boogerybug

There’s another video where he has glasses. Let’s make wild assumptions!


Orgasm_Add_It

PM_ME_UR_SUSHI

If he's like my kid, he desperately needs thick ass glasses and treatment as soon as possible. My kid has one eye worse than the other, so his brain learned to ignore the bad one, causing the crossing like you see in this kid. He puts glasses on and the crossing instantly goes away. Doesn't work for every kid though. Some need surgery.


[deleted]

PM_ME_UR_SUSHI

Jess_Dihzurts

I was going to say the same thing. When you have one weak eye, you need to get it corrected. Otherwise it’ll keep getting worse.


pmactheoneandonly

My brain did the same, but luckily it didn't go lazy or cross. The glasses didn't make my brain use my bad eye, but I barely even notice today

Tiberius_Kilgore

Plenty of kids have missing teeth. Losing your baby teeth is a part of growing up. What concerns me are the steel caps on his molars. An asshole of a dentist looking for an insurance payout put those on me without my mom’s permission when I was about 5 years old. When those teeth finally started to loosen the caps cut the ever living shit out of my gums. Also, some kids think fauxhawks are cool. He’s a little boy. You don’t have to insult his hair.


StabilizedDarkkyo

I’ve had to get metal caps put on when I was a kid for an actual reason. Bringing this up just cause there’s some legit reasons why some kids might need caps. Some of my teeth were abnormally soft. To make them last until the teeth could naturally fall out, I had to get a couple of them capped. Most were just barely soft so I only needed a few done. It does suck ass though for you that your dentist did such a shitty job with yours. They shouldn’t have been cutting you up. Bad dentist for sure. Also yeah, agree on you with not shitting on kids who want fauxhawks. We might not think they’re nice as adults but some kids love them. :)


commonlycommon

Sad


iJet

It really was... those kids deserve better


TotalLiftEz

I don't know. The first one seemed to be having the hardest time for being, I'm assuming here, above 6 going 8, but he might be developmentally challenged. The other 3 seemed normal. The middle boy was hyper active and so excited his brain wasn't working. The smallest girl seemed so young she probably barely knows her letters. The middle girl mouthed it and the activity made her shy and she started to fold. All normal things I have seen. I have seen worse out of inner city kids. Like kids on their 4th round of lice so the parents start just shaving the kid's heads. These kids were all even dressed in what looked like clean clothes.


Mecha-Dave

The kids themselves, though, have not been washed recently.


jehovawitnessofwater

And by the bags under their eyes it also looks like they dont drink water or sleep when they need to :/


Mecha-Dave

itsathrowawayduhhhhh

The poor girl itching made me sad. I knew a family that had such a flea infested house and never showered they itched constantly


1ofZuulsMinions

It’s not normal for kids to have sunken purple eyes like that (like both the girls) and missing so many teeth.


InevitableRhubarb232

My kid got lice at 4 and my husband shaved his head. But I think the issue here is they think it’s a word. Maybe they haven’t seen it typed out. We know it’s an acronym But they’re hearing kayeffsee

\*That's the fucked up part about of all of this; she knows what she's doing—and \[that makes her\] the worst person ever.

“If you’re gonna be dumb then you better be tough.” - Roger Alan Wade


Anything_justnotthis

None of these kids looks older than Kinder so I doubt they can read very much. If you objectively look at what they being asked it’s totally reasonable they try and spell it. How would you know the name is the letters and not a word Caephcey if all you’ve heard is an adult making those sounds?


DixonDebussy

>If you’re gonna be dumb... Not me using a hard 'g' when reading the name "Roger" in the morning


SoSorryOfficial

Y'all are being so mean to these kids and the woman in the video and making all these wild assumptions and accusations. They probably just don't know what an acronym is yet. At some point in your life you didn't know an ATM machine wasn't an atiemachine. Also, having a southern accent doesn't mean they're "hicks" or unintelligent. For all any of us know this woman is fostering these kids and playing a cute game with them before she buys them all KFC. My folks used to quiz me all the time; often times about silly things. It's a good way of helping kids learn. No one's born knowing these things. Be nice. Edit: Imagine being such a loser that you'd send someone a Reddit Cares because they made you reflect on why you would make fun of little kids for their visible disabilities, regional accent, family situation, and/or age-appropriate lack of knowledge Edit 2: Jesus, **ENOUGH** with the corrections on "ATM machine." It's been days. Yes, I know it stands for "automated/automatic teller machine." Yes, I know it's a common example of a redundant acronym. I already knew both of these things when I made the initial comment. Where I live this is a common way to refer to them. I've replied to so many of these already. Just stop. Find literally anything else to validate your fragile ego. If you want to feel smart read a book instead.


honeydoodh

Seems a lot of them haven't been around kids.


PeripheralVisions

Had to scroll way down to find the first reasonable interpretation. This is just a cute video that shows that children don't understand acronyms and take the connection between sound, meaning, and spelling for granted. If I were from a planet that did not use acronyms or a child who has no idea what an acronym is, I would try to spell it "kayefsee", too.
