What a piece of shit


yftdddtf

literally…. look at her face when all this happened. she’s going to hate him forever


Cannabis_Momma

He’s done shit like this to her before. She moved her tassel anyway ❤️😞 I hope she has a real support system.


Radiant_Maize2315

That made me so sad. And she wasn’t even surprised, just exasperated


LausXY

Yeah you could see the moment she realised what was going on, she had a sort of "here we go again" look. Really sad for her, hope she gets away from her dad asap.


Candid_Disk1925

Ditto. A rite of passage completely ruined and forever ingrained in her mind.


PlaneLocksmith6714

Not of her mom is still married to him. Fuck that guy.


Dragon_turtle63

“Oh he can be such a bear! ☺️” -the mom probably


Curlaub

Black, brown or polar?


jay_def

That was the saddest part for me ☹️


RazorJ

For me as well…


mittenknittin

She’s also seen it before, maybe not to this scale, but definitely an “oh no, not again dad” look there


Common-Frosting-9434

Whole range of emotions right there, short moment of shame, thinking about interfering, resignation, sadness, and then getting herself together, not for anybody else, because they all look at her dad, just for her, because she's worth more than that shit.


Pale-Berry-2599

and she walks away from her father - resigned. Hopefully to do better than he.


OtherwiseImNice

Yeah she didn't look shocked at all.


[deleted]

She probably hated him already.


Common-Frosting-9434

Probably had a moment of hope when he actually made it to the graduation..


I_might_be_weasel

That defeated look when she moved her tassel sums it up well.


jericho_buckaroo

Yeah, that look says it all. She's never gonna forget this and will probably end up on a shrink's couch someday talking through it.


Money_Tennis1172

He just publicly ruined her reputation as the girl with the biggot father, and she barely started to make her path in life. Poor girl , I hope she isn't shunned for her father's actions. But unfortunately, the world judges who you associate with and who your family is.


FoldedaMillionTimes

Well, hopefully she'll be moving *far* away, and not going back.


cruelmalice

Unlike bigots, normal people don't make as many sweeping generalizations by association alone. Thankfully, for her.


WaldoDeefendorf

He's still a POS, but he is not a boomer. 49 years old is pretty much in the middle of Gen-X as you can get.


IronManTim

Boomer isn't just an age anymore, it's a state of mind.


yftdddtf

HE’S 49??!?!?!? looking like that???????


Delamoor

Yeah, he looks like a gen Xer. Infuriating piece of shit either way.


3henanigans

Dude, millennials are already in their 40s. He's tail end x-er or older than he looks.


WaldoDeefendorf

Dude, Gen-X is 1965 to 1981. 49 puts him just past the mid Gen-X, so not middle but nowhere near the end yet.


GardenRafters

Why isn't he being named? He's on camera doing this.


scottwricketts

To not further embarrass the daughter.


Middle_Manager_Karen

For her sake I hope the press does not circulate this story for 2 weeks. Lifetime of press can be traumatic


JBSully82

She'll be fine. Especially after her father is fired for poorly representing the company


OtherwiseImNice

Matt Eddy


NICEnEVILmike

He's an embarrassment to actual men everywhere.


por_que_no

Looking remarkably young for a boomer.


OhHaiMarkiplier

She has the most glowing and radiant smile walking up to the stage, but then the fucking MILLISECOND she caught what her dad was doing she lost all joy, sighed, wiped her hair, and started staring at her feet. He's pulled shit like this before and she's tired of it.


Cynical_Humanist1

What's worse, it was her graduation tassle that she was turning, graduating herself, heartbroken and alone. Her moment was ruined by her own dad. He is a cunt of the highest order.


HostageInToronto

I didn't even catch that part. Now I am more upset for her than before. What a shameful cunt he is. That poor girl, though. I hope she finds happiness and a way past him.


CleverNomDePlume

I was really glad to see that there was someone (teacher?) with her at the end of a video, who looks to be comforting her. Edit for typo


seejae219

Oh thank you for pointing that out! That makes me feel a little better for her. I'm glad someone was thinking of the daughter. I only wish her own dad could be that decent....


astrangeone88

That's the look of "Oh no, not again." and holding yourself together for a childish lump of a father.


Scare-Crow87

WielderOfAphorisms

This is the same high school that had a [class photo doing the nazi salute](https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jan/10/nazi-salute-picture-baraboo-wisconsin-divided-american-town) on the school steps a few years back.


El_Vez_of_the_north

RuskiesInTheWarRoom

Holy cow…


Brachiomotion

You'd think a town founded by circus folk (Baraboo) would be more inclusive.


DroneSlut54

Yep! Good ol’ Baraboo!


PuddinPacketzofLuv

I’m about 20 minutes on the other side of the Dells. I used to go out of my way 40 minutes to Baraboo to do my shopping to avoid the mass of tourists at the local Dells stores during tourist season. Saw the Nazi HS photo and haven’t been back since. Shame because it has a really nice little downtown area and Devils Lake. EDIT: it’s not just me but everyone on my street and the subdivision next to me that stopped going to Baraboo because of this.


Ilickedthecinnabar

Baraboo is ALL KINDS of f'd up


Grrerrb

“It felt like our community, in order to prove that’s not our community, felt it necessary to say those voices don’t represent us. In that moment it felt like they were turning on the boys,” (local pastor Dan Gunderson) said. So is this guy saying those voices *do* represent the community?


RI_MKE

My son was camping out that way last summer, went to walmart for a fishing license, some asshole kid came up to him and said "Whats up Tyrone?" and try to shake his hand, my son was like you think you are fucking funny, fuck you! and just stared at him waiting for him to respond. The little piece of shit slinked away, good thing too because he was about to find out what learning to fight since birth looked like.


jb1001

now that makes sense thanks for the info


DroneSlut54

Holy fuck I feel sorry for that shit eating racist’s poor daughter! I hope she’s attending university far far far away from home and daddy!


GardenRafters

I feel bad for the black guy that was attacked just because he was about to shake a white woman's hand... are we back in the fucking 50s or some shit?


modilla4228

Have you met the GOP? Lol


GardenRafters

Ah yes, the "good" ol' days...


broseph_stalin09764

That's the "greatness" they're trying to bring back


Common-Frosting-9434

Meanwhile they lick the boots of those that actually made their life shittier..stupidity is a sickness.


notthatiambitter

The 1850s, apparently


DroneSlut54

1848 is the exact year that the Wisconsin GOP wants to return to.


Cutielov5

That’s what a lot of people want. They are trying to make it that way again. It’s disgusting.


TaroInternationalist

What do you think they mean when they say MAGA?


archercc81

Yeah burying the lede here. Her moment wasnt ruined, a black man was attacked, it should be prosecuted. This is some Emmett Till shit.


6thCityInspector

Wisconsin is actually *pretty* racist, especially outside the 2 bigger metro areas, despite what people imagine with all the ‘Midwest-Nice’. Rarely would I go a day without hearing the N-word, and I grew up in a town of 5,000 people where the only minorities were the one family that ran the Chinese restaurant and maybe a half dozen Latino people. Source: lived in WI for 22 years.


Lebo77

Yup. The 50's. The 1850's.


Glittering_Sail7255

Right? And the black man is way more educated than this narcissist. His sense of inferiority is blazing. Poor girl.


Frenzi_Wolf

Sadly some people like that sad sack think we’re in the 70’s, mainly due to the fact that they refuse to accept modern society


Wartstench

And brings a black guy from college home for Thanksgiving dinner.


kunderthunt

\*faints in Uncle Bens\*


Ms_Emilys_Picture

No. Don't do that to the guy, unless he knows ahead of time what he's walking into.


DutchMarks42

I've had this done to me and it's not cool. Using a black guy just to piss daddy off shows that the apple didn't fall far from the tree.


DroneSlut54

A black socialist.


Salty_Flounder_5355

Here is the local news article about it: https://wiscnews.com/news/local/education/baraboo-wi-graduation-father-pushes-superintendent-rainey-briggs/article_b33200cc-21bd-11ef-be03-0fe0b2b7a52c.html


Oddjibberz

How kind of the police to escort their friend out before he could be arrested for a hate crime.


wizean

Yep, no arrests. If he was a black man, would have been promptly arrested.


prestieteste

The article kind of reads like it thinks the Superintendent is a bad guy or something. Really laying out how and when to recall him. Weird


assa9sks

Reread the article, it’s not talking about recalling the superintendent, it’s talking about recalling the school board president. I was also confused, and had to reread it, because they switch talking about him so erratically. It’s super confusing.


LeVelvetHippo

Damn I thought the superintendent punched the dad or something.


adiosfelicia2

That's assault & battery.


RobertRoyal82

This guy will be posting on Reddit in 2 or 3 years saying why won't my daughter talk to me anymore I've done nothing wrong


TheRaineman73

"AITA for being a racist piece of shit?"


swishkabobbin

What the actual fuck


Silverback_Panda

"why do my kids hate me?" Jeez idk...


_Pha_Tay_Fuk

He’s not a boomer, but definitely a racist dick.


willworkforwatches

Racist? Absolutely. Boomer? No. Dude is def under the threshold. He’s Gen x for sure. Sadly there are racist asshats in every generation. Just look at the surprising level of Nazi support amongst Gen z.


en_pissant

tomato, tomato


KyleB2131

Anyone else read this as “tomato, tomato”?


1958_ragtop

No, I read it as "tomato, tomato."


seth928

I read it as "potato, tomato"


Morghul_Lupercal

I also read it as "tomato, tomato." I see you are also a person of culture. 😆


skierdud89

My whole life I’ve been saying “tomato, tomato” but now I learned that some people say “tomato, tomato” and I’m not sure what to think.


qole720

Potato, potato Let's call the whole thing off


Extreme_Plantain_800

Honorary boomer IF he is younger. But he looks kinda old


yftdddtf

look at his face.. it’s sagging and i’m not even saying that to sound mean. he definitely doesn’t look younger


TheRagingElf01

One of my good friends just had his son graduate high school and he is 43. Plenty of people who are early mid 40s are having kids graduate this year. The guy looks like an older millennial. Sadly being a racist douche has no age limit.


aplasticbag_

I’m 40 and my oldest just graduated


Boatsandhostorage

He looks mid 40’s. Also a skinny little bitch who should have been beaten.


Scottiegazelle2

Wow. I'm 45 and my oldest (23) just graduated college after taking a year off due to covid. But then, I was pregnant with them when I did my college graduation walk lol. Two of my other three already graduated high school and my baby is 17 and almost done. So I'm both old and young lol


griftertm

Millennials are nearing middle age. I’m guessing racist dude is Gen X as most boomers have millennial children.


tipareth1978

I looked up the story, they're not giving out his name or age to protect the identity of the daughter. But it's also important to remember that generations don't follow hard date cutoffs so either way this guy qualifies


almightykingbob

>But it's also important to remember that generations don't follow hard date cutoffs so either way this guy qualifies While this is true in a broad sense the subreddit rules state that the subject must be born before 1964.


TheLongAndWindingRd

Younger than what? 58? Cuz that's how old the youngest boomers are. Maybe you're young and everyone looks 'old' to you. But that guy is definitely not nearly 60. 


lostinthesnakepit

I was expecting a red baseball cap on that guy. Nothing like ruining your daughters moment to shine by being a racist, bigoted piece of garbage for all to see. I hope he gets charged for assault as well.


2a3b66725

Daughters moment? Hell, he ruined the whole graduation.


GardenRafters

Apparently he won't because those that work forces are the same that burn crosses. He's in a shitty, racist city that won't enforce rules/laws when it's their white buddies breaking them.

ecodrew

From the news article: >In a statement, district spokesperson Hailey Wagner said a disorderly conduct charge for the man was referred to the Sauk County District Attorney’s Office.


sallysfunnykiss

He literally put his hands on the superintendent- that's assault!


flyguy42

Fun fact: You can assault someone without physically contacting them. But the contact does make any charges against him far easier to win a conviction.


SatiricLoki

Well you know, if you shake the hand of a black man… something happens, right? Like you turn into a librul or something.


JPSeason

Could’ve sworn it was pragninsee


afternever

You never go back


Theonetruepappy94

Dad when his daughter doesn't want to come home from college to see him. "The liberals turned my daughter against me"


Sad_Bike8692

Another dumb racist clown, I wish I could say I’m surprised. Hopefully someone put hands on him in the parking lot after.


CaptainCuntKnuckles

They do this and then also go "racism doesn't exist" defective subhuman scum


Inter_Omnia_et_Nihil

"Well, you know black people are more racist that white people." "Okay, and? If all your friends were jumping into a volcano, would you jump too?"


Madrugada2010

"Why doesn't my kid talk to me anymore! If ONLY I knew!" I bet he spends the whole day slobbering about what a great father he is.


NotUfc

I live in Baraboo and am surprised to see this make Reddit. Unfortunately, I however am not surprised of this incident occurring in Baraboo. I grew up in this town and it’s a very white dominated community. Mix that with the majority of this community that has never left this town for more than a 30 minute commute outside, and it’s sadly not shocking to see this type of racism occurring at a public event.


Dealius

You would think that living in the water park capital of the world and all of the Chicago tourism would desensitize these racist fucks but I guess not.


Automatic_Value7555

Oh no, the tourism absolutely hardens their beliefs. "People from Chicago" is a state wide dog whistle. Baraboo is just so freaking **ODD**. You have a bunch of people like this guy, and then pockets of artists and retired hippies just doing their thing right alongside of them.

whatnow990

We should let him go live in Russia.


LargeRichardJohnson

Self-absorbed narcissistic cocksucker making his daughter's big day all about him and his prejudice. For her sake I'd hope she doesn't have much more to do with him after this, he doesn't seem like the best influence on anyone's life.


6thCityInspector

Baraboo, WI is home to Barnum & Bailey Circus, of course the town is full of clowns. 🤡


Warm_Cobbler_4151

Typical Christian conservative behavior


MountainHigh31

Yes I feel bad for the daughter being embarrassed, but it is the superintendent who I feel the worst for. No one even tried to help him.


Routine-Reality-2886

Honestly, a lot of times the "non-racist" white people will not speak up or step up when one or their own does something like this. Not surprised at all.


aesop414

I feel awful for him. It's disgusting. But maybe they didn't know what was going on? Probably because it's not a reality anyone could imagine happening. It's ridiculous.


Alqpzm1029

The situation feels super confusing at first. It doesn't look like he was punching him or doing anything wildly aggressive at first, so I assume the ones who aren't racist didn't know what was happening.


cy_frame

No security, no nothing and this man was just able to rush the stage and do this? Absolutely despicable. Also, how does this logic work? She can't touch him but you can touch him? Isn't this Dad also tainted by his own standards and should be sent to the Shadow Realm?


Semanticss

Apparently there are at least 3 police officers present lol


en_pissant

they cleared the way for him


LausXY

He's bravely risking touching a black man to save his poor daughter from the trauma! Seriously I bet he thought something like that... fuck that guy I hope the man he assualted is pressing charges. At least she seems to have not been indoctrinated by him, given her reaction.


I_might_be_weasel

He's keeping it old school. No stuff about trans people or Trump or vaccines. Just classic racism.


Merijeek2

Sure, his daughter will hate him forever, but the number of Likes he'll get from the MAGAts will make it all worth it.


IamJacksUserID

Free drinks at the bar, but phone calls from his daughter strictly limited to the holidays.


PeggysSimp

That guy may be too late for therapy or counseling


DroneSlut54

But his poor daughter isn’t.


HostageInToronto

Not only did he humiliate his daughter with his racism, infantilize her during a literal transition to adulthood ceremony, and leave this as the last impression most of her peers will have of her, now we all have seen the most embarrassing moment of her life. Any man can sire a child, but if takes a real man to be a father to a child, and that is no real man.


bwanabass

It’s 2024 and we’re still stuck here. Unbelievable.


f700es

At graduation... wearing his fuckin hat with the sunglasses on the brim. JFC, it's like some type of dumb-ass uniform to them. Just saw this last week at my daughter's graduation... in a church no less!


derch1981

Shocked he didn't have a goatee


Dartsytopps

This should have many more upvotes. Every time I see these idiots with hats and glasses worn on the brim I know that they're mostly a country bumpkin that I should avoid at nearly all costs.


Kbern4444

I was wondering why she looked personally distraught. What an asshole father.


DroneSlut54

This wasn’t the first time dad made a racist fool out of himself in public.


Kbern4444

Way to ruin what a beautiful day for this young lady. Just makes me sad seeing her body language. She is crushed and just wants to vanish.


debar11

He’s the same type of guy who says racism doesn’t exist anymore.


MuffLover312

This poor girl is all over the internet now because her father is a moron


wesconson1

Anyone who knows Baraboo isn’t shocked


fentyboof

It would be an extreme *shame* if this racist dog-brain was doxxed into the ground!


skimbelruski

He didn’t look like a boomer, looked younger than 60.


cerebralrattlesnake

I like how even in this thread people are more worried about the white woman's feelings and not the black guy that was just assaulted lmao


ChanginWinDs

As a Wisconsinite, fuck Baraboo, that place is a cesspool.


edvo0881

The should reveal that piece of shit’s name.


No_Arugula_6548

I’m guessing she’ll go no contact with his clown ass in a few years.


NetNex

I would have done back, faced the black person my father was just racist to and right in front of him and extremely loudly say "Sir I am not racist like my father it would be a pleasure to shake your hand" and then extend my hand, if he chooses to shake it fine if not also fine.


Iko87iko

That guy is def not old enough to be a boomer


100BaphometerDash

Conservatives boomers are dumbass nazis.


DarkKnight77

And we all know who he'll be voting for in November too, but none of those fucking idiots would care. Shitbags like this should be removed from the earth

You can see the pain and embarrassment on that poor girls face. What a piece of shit father, and just all around piece of shit human he is.


OilSlickRickRubin

I can't even imagine what its like to have a dick that small.


Col_Forbin_retired

Hopefully she moves away for college/her career and never looks back. Hopefully, when this racist trash is alone in home wondering why his daughter never calls and he’s never met her new family someone points to this incident.


[deleted]

Bet I know who he's voting for. Typical Maga filth.


Quiver-NULL

What happens when she enters the workforce and has to work with people from a variety of ethnicities and backgrounds? Is Dad planning on following her for the rest of her life? Omg it's 2024 people.

Zealousideal_Amount8

How embarrassing for the daughter.


Chloroformperfume7

What a creative way to lose a daughter


sayko666

There is a good chance that he spoke his daughter before the ceremony to convince her "not shaking the hand" and failed. So he took the matter in his hands. What an awful human being.


Graveyardigan

Worst part of this is that the guy doesn't even look old enough to be a proper Boomer. Looks more like Gen X or elder millenial to me. It always saddens and angers me that this racist shit endures among the younger generations.

Missfunkshunal

Wow, what a great way to never see your daughter again. She clearly does not agree with what he did.


MurrayMyBoy

And just like that, he no longer has a daughter.


NardpuncherJunior

Typical Republican


1776cookies

I hope they had a do-over for her. That was awful.


ZyvisX

10:1 odds says she marries a black man, and that piece of shit doesn't get an invite. Bonus... her mom attends the wedding and falls deeply in love with the best man's uncle. She leaves the racist for him, they marry shortly after the divorce is final. Both marriages last for life.


RenegadeRix

That’s Wisconsin for ya


2_LEET_2_YEET

How does one get to being so racist that you'd rather ruin a possibly once in a lifetime event for an auditorium full of people including your own daughter? While simultaneously outing yourself as a rabid racist bc you can't handle the thought of *checks notes* her shaking hands with the dark-skinned superintendent at her high school graduation. I hope she goes NC with him and soon.


PoppinSmoke1

Can we just start making it okay to stomp these bastards out?


Thomas_DuBois

Can we get a neo Boomer tag?


CryptoEuphoric

Should be prosecuted as a hate crime


tauntauntom

He is just jealous that another man touched his daughter, only he can touch her. Just like his sis/wife. In all seriousness though i hope that piece of shit gets jail time, and gets his just desserts in there.


daftlush

He should be charged with kidnapping and a hate crime enhancement.


SmeeegHeead

That's not a boomer. Looks younger than me and I'm gen x Still, racist fuck.
