New York Teen Rewarded For Good Deed Thanks To Viral Facebook Post | NBC Nightly News
God bless you
So whatsapp with the protesters ? This kid have a bright future now and by the time you are finished with hat riots that kid will become lawyer or a doctor. Lets be honest you people just dont want to do the work, some people just want to be recognized and spoon fed by the white house.
Such an exemplary young man!
Took the initiative to clean up.
Showing a great deal of pride and respect
for his neighborhood.
This is such a heartwarming story.
I am thrilled to hear that he has been rewarded.
With a scholarship. I wish him every success!!!
Plus love, peace and joy.❤💙💜
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
🌎🇺🇸🕊️
Thank you!
If he was white they’d all say he has a brain error. .
thumbs up for this positive action.
28 dumb people, can’t fix stupid
We sure need more compassionate young people like you.
This is awesome and amazing. I am so happy for this man!
Dear Father, Give this man a reward as a token of gratitude and a blessing
this is wonderful, he deserves the grad gifts and every week in America this type of nice fellow could find himself under the knee suffering for no reason. oh yeah. also native americans are killed by police at the highest per capita rate than other ethnic groups=invisible to all.
We need to see more young men and women who are 💯💓💯💓😂 Thank you for sharing your time and 💝 with all of us. Prefer the Young lady getting credit for sharing her video 💝. God Bless her and Young Man and their families and friends 💝 and God Bless America and the World 🙏💞
Need more like him in this world
In USA, you’re considered genius if you’re wearing thick glasses. No need for higher education, just buy impressive glasses and you’re genius!
True American rite folks?
It’s so strange to see that in the US, one person is cleaning and they got donations and a car, but in China and Japan, kids are taught to clean after their mess since primary school, so it’s normal behavior. I lived in Taiwan 10 years ago and all kids recycled in school, they washed their milk boxes, folded and put them in the recycling can. They also cleaned the playground.
Bootlicker.
20yo v6 mustang… …only a few thousand dollars, but look how amazing it is! A few more years, and it will technically be a classic. In some states, it’s one already. Just goes to show you, you don’t have to have something new, to have something nice.
Awesome young man Good Luck In Future Collage , Future Company Owner
People have been doing this every day since the rioting broke out, yet we’re supposed to celebrate this one dude?
Please be careful! Keep him safe 👏👏🙏🙏 I don’t want him to be the next one.
If he was white nobody would know him
Nice I have a red mustang convertible too
👍😁👍
This is what the news should be not fear bating the public

There is still some good people in these world…. Trump is the one spoiling America; he has taken America backwards with he’s racism…. vile man….vile man…..
Wow, I am surprised you didn’t say black teen. You are a trash network.
I love that you posted a very young man cleaning up his neighborhood without expecting anything in return.
Next president

Sorry, but I’m not buying this story. What this sounds like is the China soical credit system being introduced in America. Social Credit System: behavior listed as positive factors of credit ratings includes donating blood, donating to charity, volunteering for community services, and so on. You people are so easily fooled.
Yes Antonio, ur Mom would be very Proud if u. May All ur dreams come true and may ur Mom RIHP.🙏💜
Beautiful
Everyone’s proud of what you’ve done young man. Hope you have a very bright future!
Just a story for your narrative. Where is the WHITE boy doing good things?????????
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A moment of Truth. This is what People remember. Noah lived over 900 yrs but only his Time of Truth is recorded. Stood up to a very big test. The intended cognitive dissonance that is manufacturing in the human is often the battle for space between acting from Morality or acting from man arbitrated “Liscence”. I commend for acting from Morality. Baruch Hashem!
May the Lord bless him!
We need people like him with ideas to progress God bless you
American black culture owes this guy an apology!
This is the kind of ppl we need..in this world ..he is an example of the youth rn G bless him
Good for you young man, it’s great to see good rewarded for a change.
SOMEBODY HELP:
GENTE, 5 PMs da PM SP, brazil,

BREAKING: Group of Antifa holds down a street preacher as he screams ‘You’re choking me’ in Seattle Autonomous Zone. SEE video at twitter daily caller
Treated like a king for doing the right thing? This is a HUGE part of the problem….. yet, you don’t see it!
Amazing work young man!! God Bless you
Excellent! What a powerful example of caring for your community. You deserve all the riches you receive.
So where are all the “black celebrities” praising this kid, helping him? Their giving millions to the family of a drug addled felon who threatened to murder a pregnant woman, but this strong young man is a no go. Guess a strong young black man is to risky for them, he might help the situation and not make it worse.
Future Mayor right there👍😉
Great job kid.
But you’ve got to be f’n kidding. Why are people giving him a lottery ticket to life for doing the same thing thousands of others are doing across the country? By all means, this is not directed to him but to the people who for some reason seem biased in how they react to good deeds. There are others who didnt even get $5 let alone acknowledgment from a government official.
He looks 35.
so nise
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I’m grateful for your leadership and example. Thank you!
God Bless you young man! May your future be Blessed with all of God’s goodness. I so know your mom is looking down from heaven on you with big smiles. She knows she has raised a wonderful man.☺️👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful story. Young man is a future Potus.
I appreciate young men like him. We need more people like him. Take care and keep clean the neighborhood that you live in. You rest there … So why not keep it neat and clean. That’s one thing that a lot of us need to start doing.. Don’t throw tras on your street or the land that you stay on.
Good always triumphs
IT’S BECAUSE HE’S ‘BLACK’!!!
Garbage collectors be like:BRUHHHHHHH
Yes baby!! Well deserved praise.
Wow so many fake actors👎🏻
How can black police bully black compatriots to get respect from other peoples
The young man is a fine American….thank you Sir
Hello my friend how are you
Great job!
Gotta love that shirt!
Meanwhile white kids cleaning up graffiti are called racist….ha! Divide and conquer at its best. Mazuta.
Your rite bro she is and we are too
Now that’s a fine young man! brought tears to my grumpy old eyes…
Beautiful story. His Mom is so proud of him. #greatson
What a good kid. Nobody else would go out and clean up after the riots for free. I hope the best for him.
This is phenomenal.
God bless you. Build the city and grow up. Salut to you.
Very brave and kind and thoughtful young man. He has a bright future ahead of him.
Great kid ..great Mom
This video was important especially in this city of Buffalo. I mean this is just pure joy.
Nothing but admiration for this young man. Respect to those who can imitate him.
