  • @purplefashion03: You are beyond stupid. You totally missed the point of this video. It's not about color you moron....everybody needs somebody to believe in them and especially when you are a child. I wish somebody had pushed me in my musical talents as a child. Just like DL Hughley....it has been mostly Whites who gave me a word of encouragement. Stop making everything about race.

  • Funny how his mother will take the credit for his success. Strong black woman my arse.

  • This man Mr. DL Hughley is good all the way down to his soul he is more than willing to do for people what this wonderful teacher did for him.

  • DL has my admiration and respect for not forgetting that Teacher that got thru to him and told Him that he could be something more. Look where those Powerful Words of encouragment took him. Words have Power, take the high road when you speak to others as well as to yourself.

    Black in America, you can be anything that you want to be, you have to prepare yourself.

  • @seinfeildsucks Actually I can identify with the man simply because It took the kindness of an outsider to see he was more than less than.

  • @gmann1695 Stop being a animal and talking about someones mother because you have been rejected by a certain race of women. I bet if you spoke about his mother to his face he would have you shot or knocked your sexually deprived ass out! You no game, no pussy getting youtube basement dwellers need to be hung. You have won the #1 prize for having zero class. I'll let you and what ever god you believe in deal with it. Have a nice day and may you burn in Youtube Hell!!!

  • @gmann1695 You just seem like a woman hater. My mum used smack me in the back of my head when I cried at 8 years old and tell me "Stop acting like a girl"! I was angry at my mum when she told me that but it made me a stronger man and guess what she did her best and I wouldn't trade her for the world. My father died when I was 6 and I THANK god for my strong Turkish mum. You should be fried for saying something like that. Mothers will love you unconditionally. How dare you say that shit.

  • DL hughley as fuck as he is is crying because as" Grown Ass Man"" and all that other hyper masculinity shit that the inner city cultivates:or american cultures cultivates In each human being thier lives a "inner child that was either affirmed by our parents or Invalidated by his or her parents a lot human being never really out grows that. By the way I'm a black man that grew up in one of the roughtest part of chicago saw all the facade all the turmoil surrounding this aspect of growth

  • I'm not one, but I think teachers don't get the salary they deserve.

  • I have a problem with people believing they're "going" to be somebody. Every person "is" somebody. I actually think that you have to be taught that you're a "nobody" because you come in with a natural instinct of being, which causes one to naturally seek Self. The world is a mirror that turns the attention of the looker toward Self.  DL's mother hurt him but his teacher didn't help by telling him he was "going" to be somebody. The pious Monk is as much as, perhaps more than, the Star

  • dl was a blood.
