Jack really is what I aspire to be like as a father. The whole relationship between him and Randall growing up was very touching. I liked the scene when Jack realises Randall is gifted but Randall is dumbing himself down.
@@achinthmurali5207 !! yesss, here in Brazil black people aren't always remembered by their name. Sometimes ppl just see "the black guy" or "the indian guy"
This is so true and I think it can also be applied to other communities such as disabled. We are used to believe that the fact that someone doesn’t see our disability is a good thing, but it’s not. If you don’t see my disability, you don’t see me, you don’t understand the oppression I suffer.
White mom here with a black daughter-thank you for these gentle reminders because I am trying to push myself to be the best mom I can. I love my daughter so much BECAUSE Of who she is, not in spite of it.
@@darkhelmet4279 because racism affects how people are being treated and to say otherwise is just being WILFULLY DISHONEST. "You don't see colour"? Then what do you do a a traffic light???
@@darkhelmet4279 because if you don’t see the color of the person then you don’t really see the person in general. The hardships that person might face because of that color, the insults, the back handed compliments. When you say “ you don’t see color” you are saying to that person I’m ignoring all the problems and struggles you go through on a probably consistent basis because it’s easier to just see you as my friend with ordinary problems”
Randall is just having an identity crisis, like much of the modern western world. Ppl skin color doesnt really affect them as much as their culture, and he grew up in the pearsons culture, speaking proper english, well educated, and learning to have self respect, living like proper upstanding citizens of America.
Wow. Clearly it goes right over your head. Of course Randall knows there is much more to a person than color but did it ever occur to you that the rest of the world will often treat him differently and it won’t be his fault?
@@pibbles9 couldn't agree more. It is "pathetic" but we know Randall didn't make the rules. Randall is a black kid who will have experience that pertain directly to his skin colour. That's the world we live.

This episode is so powerful, I'm crying rn. "Then you don't see me, dad"
Even if you do see color you still may not see the person.

I love seeing these moments between Jack and Randall

I don't think oppression is the right word to use.
Wow! Such a powerful statement.
This was one of the most powerful episode on this is us. Randall saying "THIS ONE IS FOR YOU POPS" at the end was just .... well i am lost for words

Lonnie is amazing!
this scene is one of my favorite moments of the entire show! its so so so powerful and true, so important
But jack is the one who raised Randell he can’t have feelings for someone he doesn’t know ☝️
I don’t see color... the worst thing to say
It comes from a good place.
@Kris LVgirl fair enough

This is what a lot adults and kids don’t understand👵👩👨🧒👧👦
U should play the I try song for this is us🎧
It’s sweet of jack to say he doesn’t see color he sees his son his boy👦
William is or was Randells biographical father
U don’t have to be blood to be family 🩸
No one ever wants to talk about this
But Jack and Randell not related don’t even look a like 👀
Jack doesn’t get it cause he was white not black that’s what he doesn’t get
It’s a racism issue

So that's where Randall went wrong. There is so much more to a person than color and if that's all Randall thinks that he is that's kind of pathetic
