People should stop saying "it's so sad to see acts of kindness go viral". Evil deeds and disasters go viral all the time, it's a breath of fresh air seeing kindness instead
Yes we need this kind of news to brighten our days
I think they mean that it's sad that acts of kindness are considered so "out of the ordinary" that it goes viral.
But yeah, I agree. I LOVE seeing acts of kindness being done!
🙌🏾
*Breath of fresh air
Indeed! Well said.
Shows that racism is taught, That beautiful baby boy didn't care whether the person holding him was black or white, Children are truly colour blind until they are taught to hate.
Racism and hate have a thin line and even though we can never get rid of either we can TEACH our children that color has NO consequences. At all. Only actions.
So why did you bring it up then?🤔
@@kevinthomas7526 maybe because it coincides with the politics happening in the world at current. So he wanted to show a case and point. But I'm not Michael Hudson I can't truthfully answer for him, only an educated guess.
Don’t start with the skin colour B.S
Amen!!!
Kudos to his mom for raising an incredible young man. John is a stellar human being.
By holding a baby ? 😂 lmao wow
@@TannerGoated Be a John, stop being a Connor
@@SuperRowdyTube you edited your comment 😂😂😂 no I wanna be myself I’ll never change wanted to be another man Clinton
@@TannerGoated Damn, there you go being a Connor again. It's not a good look.
He is a good man. We do need more people like John in this world. His mother did a good job.
Its sad when being kind is out of the ordinary.
Welcome to the new world
I agree
I was saying the same thing
I'm glad I saw your comment before I was about to leave mine. I was going to comment and ask what is newsworthy about a person offering to hold another person's child for a little bit to help them? I mean, it's kind and all, but to make news?
Right! I was wondering why this went viral and made into such a big deal like it was. Dont get me wrong I am sure in her eyes this was major because of the type of day she was having. People in general just get such a bad rap like there is not kind, generous people still left in the world. More people help in situations than not I feel. I wonder if they were the same race would this have gotten the same type of recognition. Which is just pathetic if so. I applaud him though.
This baby is chillinnn he’s clearly comfortable with johns heart. Yes Lord.
kindness is trending, yayyyyy
win/win
🥺 Amen ✌🏾♥️🙏🏾
Yep! Babies can SENSE GOOD spirits !
And the fact that John himself is a twin made this even better
Facts! There are some people who just have that energy that babies vibe with 😂
He's a handsome young man too. Kind and cute.
Yes nice looking brother just like his heart.....the brother can't help it.
Get off his d 😂😂
Any girl would love to have those eyelashes!
Coming in way late to this video but as a fellow twin mom, I had to comment. This means more than anyone could know! Being a momma in general is so stressful, but being a twin mom bring an entire other level of maneuvering and stress! I’ve also had strangers help me a few times, with simple things like help me put me put my double stroller in trunk, and I even had a lady pull my car up in the rain at target. Really brings life to the phrase “it takes a village”

This man was my WR coach in 9th grade, He always treated me with equal respect, even though I was barely 5ft tall and scarcely got to play... Coach goodlett I’ll never forget you thank you
I do u !!!!
Awww 😥 🙏🏾💜
Cheers
Real man that's for sure.

This is what America should be....
Right
but it’s not
Amen, what a fine gentleman
@Nilo Cantonjos It is like this in America; it's like this all over the world: Regardless of where you go there will be real people, kind, warm hearts; just a matter of what you look for.
Not at the moment. Youve got to stay 6ft away!
What a good man. Makes everyone feel better. He probably works like 60 hours a week and he is still patient and kind. Good stuff!!
Love how the baby is so comfortable in his arms
America most young black men are like John. Our story is rarely shown equally.
Almost 8 out of 10 black homes lack a father would say otherwise but John is a stand up guy who probably doesn't get the love he deserves cause you ladies are to busy with Tyrone to notice.
@@JasonLee-gy5ch Your stupid ass reply. Stop believing stats THEY. That statistic doesn't even make sense. I'm a black man as are most of my friends. We all lived with our dads. Do the study on white families-don't be surprised. I'm not sure how old you are, but if you're over 18 and still believe statistics like that, then I'm sad for you and people like you.
Jamel Dixon
His statement was stupid for many reasons including the belief that if one comes from a single parent home, they will not be a productive member of society. It was an indictment on single mothers and how we parent. It was misogynoir at its finest. And it presumes that stand up guys ONLY come from two parent homes.
Something is fundaMENTALly wrong with that thinking.
Not even close
It’s the white men they need to worry about
Go brother showing that people like us have a nature of righteousness
I remember the young kids who followed a guy who'd snatched a girl, until he gave up and put her down. No thought of themselves, only thinking of what might happen if they let him walk away with her. Righteous IS the right word.
@Bajan John Doe Well said. My grandmother taught me that love is the only thing of value that we can take with us when we leave this world. Yet by its very nature, love lingers where a loving person has lived and in the lives they touched. You can feel it long after their physical form has crumbled and if you hold on to that love and add your own to it, then you'll see that love cannot be constrained by death and that the love inside each of us is indestructible, immutable and eternal.
CarlThrone:The kindest, and bravest soldiers I have ever known? Black men.
It's called the seven percent rule Carl. World wide ninety three percent of us are kind loving, and generous. Sadly, it's the other seven percent that make it bad.
Be well.
Well said. My dad was black and in the late 80s an old white woman tried to secretly take me out of my dad’s car cuz she was convinced he kidnapped me. I screamed at the top of my lungs, “THAT’S MY PAPA!!! PAPA PAPA!!!” and he came running out the store and almost murdered that woman for putting her hands on me. We’ve come a long way, but not long enough for everyone to see a black man with a white looking child as “normal.” I actually didn’t understand the incident that happened to me as a child until I was older when my innocence goggles were ripped off. Wouldn’t it be nice if we never lost that pure, unfiltered love and acceptance we have as children?
@@ObsidianJayMusic stfu.
Thank you John, and to the mum and dad of John and his Sister, you did an amazing job raising caring and compassionate children!
And the baby was so okay being held by him. Not at all fussy 🥰
John is also a twin!! That makes this even more magical
Yes! Lmao you know many people missed that part and just went for his skin tone. It's kinda sad
@Messenger4Jesus I'm sure Jesus would appreciate your negativity and the idea that YOU think you can determine what is considered miraculous. Change of subject, I have an identical twin sister who lives states away and I haven't noticed any other twin picking up on that but you never know.
@@peacheskong2245 His skin tone shouldn't matter but I guess its because you hear so much negativity about the AA population. He's a nice guy and it should not have been about anything else. It's so sad that in these times people still focus so much about race.
@@Karmen2010 U sound stupid lol.
@@Karmen2010 All she/he said was was not mean or negative go back to school.
Kudos to John's parents too! They raised an awesome young gentleman! This is a REAL man!
Absolutely right! He’s a very kind young man! God bless him always & you also. 👏
Yes for sure
Real men more rare tbh 😩🙏
Definitely he was taught right and he still spreading it around kudos John he is the measure of a real man
A real man is just an adult humane male lol. What he is though is a phenomenal man. We need more people like him on the planet. 🙏
I especially love how COMFORTABLE that baby was, with John! It just goes to show how KIND hearted, he truly is, because babies can sense good spirits !
Way to show how it's done young man! A detail that doesn't go unnoticed in heaven I'm sure. Blessings to you and the parents that raised you!
I love how cute little Levi looks so comfortable with John holding him, as if he has known him all along!💜
@Dagmar Sanchez Exactly, Dagmar❣️ As well as animals, sometimes.
@@kaipom6360 exactly what I thought.
@LoveofVelvet that was lovely to see😊
That kid look so comforable, is thah your kid jaho, lol.good heart.

It’s so sad that “acts of kindness” go viral. It should be normal to be kind to others
Van Deman Ferrets Tasmania. Nikkie man shut up 🙄🤦♀️
_Mš Ferrari why should I.
I hear you. I really do
I was just thinking that! But to be honestly, if you look around, you can notice these little things do happen all the time. Anything from giving somebody a jumpstart when their car doesn’t start in a parking lot, to paying for someone’s meal/coffee/etc... it seems like the news just wants to report awfulness to keep everyone divided and in fear.
And that is why I’m watching videos like this, sometimes you need a break from all the “gloom and doom”
Van Deman Ferrets Tasmania. Nikkie i fucking agree to that..
See men like this deserve an applaud. And I give all my respect to you. He would literally be a great dad if he had children of his own
He's very comfortable with babies. Did you see him gently rocking baby while talking?
Only when the world has become so dark does a simple candle shine so bright.
I like that.
He's a good guy, but his Parents need some praise to.. Good job Mom and Dad.. Good job...
Not every parent deserves that cause some people just grow up and become what they wish they had at a certain age.
@Ramon Ramirez jaja, sabemos que el mundo está cada vez más loco que cuando alguien hace algo ‘normal’ la gente piensa que hay que agradecer a los padres 🤪🤪🤪
@@amazlngezeobi5489 probably wouldn't have done this had his parents not taught him to be a good person
in our world people dont just automatically become good people
@@oumardiop1 You don't need specifically parents to teach you/show you how to be a good person. People don't just spend time with their parents, nor is everyone raised by their parents.
You don`t know that. Some people become great people even though they had shitty parents.
“Be A John” . I like it. And that’s a nice gesture from the company too.
They did it bc they knew that there'd be free publicity. It's more of a marketing stunt sadly.
@@MsBhappy So what if it was? It doesn't negate the fact that this guy helped a desperate, struggling mother out of the kindness of his heart. If Enterprise gets good publicity out of it then so be it.
I think "Be Like John" is WAY better. "Be a John" makes it sound like you're looking for a hooker.
@@devildoll7840 that's what I thought. 🤣
Terrible slogan. "Be a John - Hire a hooker"....
This is what every news show should feature daily!
If they did, the world would definitely be more positive and inspired.
Love stuff like this! Wish the internet would only share positive... don't share negativity
I, agree, but unfortunately our world is divided....
But I believe in humanity still....
Awe, what a nice guy! Notice that the baby is completely happy and carefree in his arms. Babies can sense when a person is bad.
OldskolFan why..because he's black?
Jerome Love 😂
Jerome Love stupid racism...I didn't mention race. Babies don't care about that--until they are taught.
rat goon So true
Mark Seiler who is it when one black person do something wrong every white person wants to think all blacks are all the same... but when white gets blamed for one white person action you guys get mad.
“She needed someone to help, but she never expected someone like John”. Wtf is that suppose to mean?
I hope it meant that it was just unsuspected that someone would offer to hold her baby lol
😆😆😆
Ricky Ricardo he’s a fucking enterprise worker. Legit no one would expect a random ass worker to help you out with your kid.
Ikr im still trying to figure that out smh
I'm guessing they meant someone who was @wrk, on the clocc.
This is how u tell someone has beautiful parents cause they raised a beautiful child
Our Whole World NEEDS More Humans
Like Him!!!!
God Bless You!!!
Babies tend to know a good person ,the baby was so comfortable with him 😍😍😍😍😍 one act of kindness can go a long way
Amarachi Ogbonnaya I’m surprise he stayed. Children who are in that age group are aware and don’t really stay with strangers the way a younger child 3-4 months would..
Amarachi kedu?
Gunner5 For life adim nma nwanne m
what tribe are you from? i’m from the igbo tribe
Danielle Ndubuisi am also Igbo nwanne mmm o
That kid was so comfortable in his arms. That's a true dad.
Lovely..! It's what this cold world needs..! ♥️
May God Bless Those Fellow-Humans For Those Who Have Learned The True Spirit of Kindness Forever
He was raised a gentleman and was simply doing what's right...So often the media portrays Blacks( particularly Black men) as nothings, nobodies, thugs and criminals... FINALLY a positive portrayal of my strong, but gentle,beautiful Black brothas...There are MANY, MANY MORE out there like this...God bless him...And before anyone says "This is an act of kindness, not about Race..."EVERYTHING in America is about Race, more so if you're BLACK!!!
Cheryl S.D ???
Amanda Jaggers - Amen !!! So true.
well said, I agree 100%.
Cheryl S.D So true
Cheryl S.D yess! Preach 😁
This man is so handsome Jesus 😩
He prolly with the white girl tho lol
Michael ja And what’s wrong with that?
@@WendyWillliams not a got dam thing just stating
@Travel With Giselle I was just saying that like dannng 👀😍
Travel With Giselle Beautiful voice.
I bet he has one proud mama! Being a twin himself, she probably had many occasions where a little help was a blessing. Good heart on that guy!
What a kind Christ like young man, may Jesus bless him.
The Golden Rule - Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. His parents taught him well!
It’s astonishing how many people don’t know or live by the golden rules!
Following that rule alone all my life is the reason I have no enemies.
Infact
He doesn't realize what makes this such a big deal...doubtless because he is a kind and compassionate person all the time. But a single act of kindness sometimes not only redeems a bad day, but can save a life. Why does our society worship celebrities for merely being outrageous or notorious when there are real heroes and people worth emulating like this man out there in the real world?
teslagirl1 Wow so true. You couldn’t say that no better.
Damn...
Well said.
Indeed!!!
Most black people are kind. Many chose to believe in what media feeds and the elite have put out in the world.
So sweet! Love y’all! God is great!
IT goes to show THERE'S Hope for mankind 😔 IN this WORLD 🌍🌎🌍 PEACE ☮️ and Guidance 🙏 One LOVE 🌹🇬🇾
Great to see something positive about a black man go viral for a change!
Blue Skyy Wow!
Your ignorance has showed.
Your a racist!
Right😊
Facts💯💯💯💯 they're so quick to make black ppl in general look as bad as possible
How does the comment make Blue Skyy "a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another"?. You + are = you're (not "your"). The punctuation mistake does not make you ignorant. I simply makes you human. Peace.
Chelsea Gallo
There was absolutely nothing racist about that statement.
"Great to see something
POSITIVE about a Black man going viral, for a change, when there are so many negative portrayals presented by the media."
My way of saying it.
Yes, Apparently this act of kindness is rarely talked about on the news!! People all over the World are sick and tired of hearing about death and Tragedies that happen much more often!!
You're Right on the Money with this post! This was one of the sweetest gestures I've seen on the News!
Kelli Barnhouse
How about the THOUSANDS of people trying to PROTECT THE WATER. ...AT STANDING ROCK ⁉
BE A JOHN....HOLD HUMAN RIGHTS UP...WATER IS LIFE..
✌💖to all Water Protectors ahoo
Peace Dove you couldnt have said it better. water perserves life but they arent satisfied unless its not there. smh.
this was a true gentleman
Well said
Kindness is all we need
Who else loves acts of kindness being shown on the news? We need to see more things like this especially in times such as these. All we see when we turn on the news is death and disaster. Its good to be reminded that humanity and goodness existed.
BE A JOHN. I AGREE I WISH THERE WAS MORE CARING FOR ONE ANOTHER. INCLUDING MYSELF. ITS EASY TO KEEP WALKING AND NOT THINK ABOUT A PERSON IN NEED.
I understand what you are saying but she was totally stressed had just been in an accident, worried for her children and he took a moment to help. Pretty cool. He even said I don't understand what the big deal is. But I have been so stressed before and two kids running
around feelings of loosing it. So I can see her point of appreciation.
Pam Semones ,Pam ,you are so right "Be a John" I am happy you agree ,caring for one another .You never know when someone will.help you unconditionally one day ,it's something you never forget.You are right ,it is very easy to walk away .and never look back not caring about the situation that person might be in ,for a second those who walk away ,put yourself in there place. No.matter how simple the act is ,its showing someone there is someone actually who cares .And ask nothing in return.What a wonderful feeling .Gloria Karam
Robert Moss Holy Christ , (not holly) even he would have held the babies
No.matter how simple the act was to you ,to that distressed mom it meant the world to her.And I am.sure she will.never forget John.Robert one day I'm your life ,be a John I am.sure it will make a better person out of you .Think.about one day you will.indeed need a simple act of kindness.Gloria Karam
Petrida Ijumba ,Petrida,God bless you ! You are so right not judging someone by the color of thier skin,but the love in thier hearts.What kind of human being would think otherwise.People like that has no heart.May God Bless you !Gloria Karam
Robert Moss ,How sick you are to judge someone by thier race and not thier character.Why don't you take a minute and look deeply at someone beyond thier color.You definitely will.be surprised.May God bless you ! Open your heart ,not just your eyes.Gloria Karam
This guys last name says it all “Goodlet” he’s a good guy, says his namesake!
Amy Ehlinger aaaaaw! Ikr?
Indeed!!!!
💜 YES! BEAUTIFULLY SAID 🙏💜
He's good, but only in small things?
I hope we see more acts of kindness on the news, please!!!
The world needs more people like this truly an inspiration.
“Be a John” and besides, Levi seemed to be very comfortable with John as he showed this baby 👶🏼boy nothing but 💕 love!!!! Love, kindness, & friendships =🙏🏾💜😇
Baby Levi made a new friend ♥️
I like that too but I wonder how shocked John was to find that a day he did something a little out of the ordinary would transform him into a hero.
Twins recognising a fellow twin lol
Be yourself.
💜 LOVE THIS, SO SWEET 🙏💜
She meant that she never expected to meet someone so KIND and CARING as John... Pretty
simple, let's not read any more into it...
A kind person goes a long way I love this 😀.
Bless his kind heart. 🙏❤🙂
Do John is also a twin, he clearly understood the demands of two babies needing alone time, cute story.
Not enough people like that nowadays.
We need way more!
Michelle Woods yes we do 💗
The world is so F****D up these days that its actually unusual to see such humanity. The Bible is true. In the Last days, men will be lovers of themselves. Thank God for John and others like him who are just kind because they are
Michelle Woods I love my Okies! Proud of you John!
yes there is sadly we all just hear about the bad people and not the good guys
Michelle Woods
How beautifully comfortable the kids are with uncle John! Love has no barriers!
Beautiful 😍. So many more John's are needed in 2021.
I’m sure he was a great help to his parents growing up. He supports the baby’s back so well. ❤️
He was raised by someone special. .hes gonna make it big in life and whatever woman is lucky enough to get him she better treat him right hes gonna be one hell of an awesome husband and father🙏🙏💙💚🙏🙏💋💋💋
Niajarian movie
Simple acts of kindness are gold…we all need to practice this…doing good is good🙂
What I call " ANGELS 😇 IN DISGUISE" 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 What a bright, caring, kind, intelligent young man!!! We all should practice kindness to any and everyone 😊..That is what God would like for us to do🧡🧡🧡🧡💛💛💛💛🧡💛
I worked at Enterprise. They prolly just gave him a pat on the back and a "good job buddy". Horrible company. But on the positive side, Jon is a great man. We need more people like you.
😂😂😂 facts 💯
It was actually in the story. They made a contribution to a sports group he had been involved with. That's more than a pat on the back and platitudes.
@@PrinceRN what about a promotion?
@@ahalpert A promotion to what? Enterprise Babysitter? Just holding a baby and being a nice guy is not worthy of a promotion dip-shit! Just because he's a nice guy, doesn't mean he's not always late to work, misses days, etc. There's more to getting a promotion than being nice, and having a video of you holding a baby going viral.
@@Dr.Thomas. u need to calm down.
I love how The baby is so comfortable in the arms of this kind guy.
Thanks for the story, my day just improved 100%.😊😊😊
Who gives a thumbs down to this.. you had to search real hard to find something negative about a young man going above and beyond, looking past names he had probably been called by people who look just like her,to help her with her beautiful babies. Kudos to her for being a good soul and recognizing another good soul. We need more of them both! Blessings.
What I thought was so cool is the baby really seamed to like the man. He really seamed to respond to him positively. I loved that.
he had a very calm peronality...which is the only thing kids recognize. kids dont see colors unless they are taught to.
no matter how shallow and divided this country has become...good hearts have no color .
Jessica Hidalgo well said
And ur one of them muahh
Jessica Hidalgo
So true
Thank trump his campaign his supporters & his administration for the division not to mention the overwhelmingly majority of white people for division
I agree John is just another thug
Let’s add some context do people can understand why this was such a kindness. This man could have lost his job. So many like him have lost their jobs for reasons similar to this. Amen to his kindness.
The world needs more stories like this and more people like John. Great stuff!
This is so so sweet. Their twins, he's a twin, I'm a twin, and it just touched my heart.
Thank you sir the world would be a better place if we all would take the time to share one another's burdens and help each other.... thank you:)

He seems so genuine
What a good man with a good heart! If he has children or plans on having children I am sure he will be a wonderful father and a wonderful role model! 👍😎💞🇺🇸
He's a good looking guy!
I'm still friends with many of my customers by doing exactly what John did. What a cool story!

THAT is how you make America great!
The LIKES are HUMBLE people & the DISLIKES are UNHUMBLE people...
I love these type of stories. Dude's got a good heart.
He's cute too 😍♥️♥️
Fr lol
Humanity is still alive.
What a wonderful man John
This is truly heartwarming but the biggest tear jerker is that as his reward, John is giving back to his first sports club. Now that is the real act of kindness.
We need more of this kind of people in this world! 🥰👏🙏
I can not get enough of this!! Wish more people would be as amazing as this Man!!!
5 years laters be a John. Lol I'm still tearing up. Much love 😘
Still beautiful and even more poignant 4 years later. Who's here in 2021 getting choked up again over this story? I hope John and that mother of twins are doing well!
2022 ❤️
2022!!!
2023 ❤
2023 and i just found out that they are dating lol.
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm3153What? They are dating?
This man is the face of America. It is also sad we make such a big deal out of something done without expectation of recognition. Just a community. God Bless this man and the family.
yes.
The baby is white and he's not, that's it. The same thing happened when I took my infant nephew for a quick across the street trip to a Winn Dixie. The visit was about 10 minutes and the mostly white crowd stared the entire time. This happened to this guy recently. My experience was in the 1990s. We've got a long way to go.
It should be normal to be kind to others. Lord please help this generation.
Him, slightly, rocking back and forth makes me wonder if he's a dad or big brother. Sweet and makes me wanna pay it forward.
Exactly I was thinking the same myself. Dude obviously has been around kids, that is evident
I love when she gave GOD the glory!
Amen me too!
I respect every religious viewpoint equally, but personally I believe that while a divine force exists, he allowed our world to operate on it's own, like Enlightenment thinkers believe. So I think the credit should go to John, because it was his choice, and as an independent being, he made the choice to take time out of his day to show kindness.
However, I understand this may not be viewed by everyone, and I'm open to any religious viewpoint. Just stating my opinion.
Yes!!! Amen
Fornax i agree with you 100%. I think john should get the credit shared with his parents for raising him to be a good and kind human being.
Amen, Hallelujah!
She’s got her hands full people. Over all could just demonstrate some simple human kindness….
Something like this can literally make or break someone's day. Just someone being nice to you, or you being nice to them can change the whole course of a day.
NOW THIS IS HOW WE BRING HEAVEN DOWN TO EARTH. !!!
THANK YOU JOHN IN YOUR PARTICIPATION. IN BRINGING HEAVEN DOWN TO EARTH
Nice!!
Well said
You on LSD?
That kid looked so secure in John's arm. The baby knows instinctively John's great.
The baby totally relaxed.
Thank God for his willingness to help when there is so much hate in the world. God bless him! A little kindness goes a long way.
Beeautiful ...love for love positivity im teary eyed the fact that the baby was so comfortable with him even though hes a different race and you let people see renewed my hope media is promoting so much negativity lately thank you
