After watching many of these videos, it's 100% clear: everything starts and ends with the family. Broken and incompetent families are one of society's greatest evils. Congrats to this young man for being there for his son!

When he stated that being in a wheelchair was a humbling experience, it really resonated with me. As someone who has been confined to a wheelchair/bed bound for a part of my life due to a negligent driver, people don't realize how not being able to walk changes your mentality and outlook on life. Be thankful you can stand and walk to the bathroom. Be thankful you can stand and make something to eat. Be thankful you can stand in the shower and relax instead of constantly worrying about falling. Be thankful you aren't ignored in public because you are handicapped. Be thankful random people don't come and ask what happened to you. I could go on and on and people really don't think about how lucky they are to stand on 2 feet and walk without constantly being in pain.

Met this guy about a year ago and I have to say he is one of the most polite dudes I’ve ever met. He truly does feel remorse. Pray for him!

The saddest part is that Donny sounds like he has a lot of intelligence in him. For someone with little education and a long-term drug addiction, he speaks very well. Had he had good parents and a support system growing up, he could have been really thriving in life. It's unfortunate that most of the "bad" people in society are a byproduct of poor parenting and neglect.

As a black woman who grew up in Louisiana, I did don’t expect this interview from the title. I hesitated on clicking this due to my prior knowledge of skinheads and not knowing how this would make me feel but I am glad I watched it. I believe our true journey in life is unlearning everything that we were taught to believe we are and actually learning who we are.

As a black female, I hesitated to watch this video because I thought it would piss me off lol! I am so glad I decided to watch. This interview was amazing and I wish this man nothing but peace and happiness. One of my favorite interviews on this channel.

Sadly, this man is the embodiment of what the problem in our society is. Our youth is out here crying to be loved and so many parents are letting them down. We need to do better.

I’m a high school teacher and one of the issues with today’s youth is lack of empathy. This young man would be so amazing as a speaker/mentor for youth. I pray he gets clean so he can change lives. God loves you

A skin head with empathy and remorse. A good guy with a horrendous life experience. Abused and neglected as a child. When kids are loved they usually do not turn out this way. It's amazing he still has a heart.

So articulate. Not what I expected. Clearly bright, self-reflective, a good man emerging. Stay strong young man. You matter.

The two things I’ve learned from watching at least 40 episodes is,

As a black person I can honestly say this was an enlightening interview- this man has a beautiful soul and like he said, he hates that it took tragic events for him to let other cultures,beliefs and people in. I appreciate this man, I hope he continues to grow as a person and be a great dad.

I’m from Africa and being through so much i was kidnapped when I was 4 years old and was child soldier in Eritrea when hear this beautiful Man i feel his pain I also feel humiliated love to you from another world

I quit my 13 year heroin addiction on july 18 2023... just had enough.... tried to detox myself for about a month then broke down n checked into a hospital... best thing i ever did.... never goin back.... i hope he keeps the faith and gets his demons under control its hard i know but you know ya when youve had enough n cant cut the ties... good luck to him n his family seems like a real G

I think he has mad potential, he could even be a public motivational speaker. I think he definitely has the heart to help others, and I really think it would be helping him as well. Such a beautiful soul

He needs to write a book called "the chair" and describe all of this and the lessons learned. best seller guaranteed.

CEN. Childhood Emotional Neglect. 57 years of feeling that exact feeling you described. Alone in a room full of people and trying to fill that gaping hole I felt inside. I've read a lot about the CEN and it has been eye-opening. Prayers for you and your healing journey forward. God Bless you for attempting to break the cycle. You got this!!!

Dear Donny. I wish you could know that you enriched my life. I wish the whole world could hear how you said: "If we all could just bring ourselves to man up and face the issues at hand, there wouldn't really be issues anymore" . Because it doesnt get more accurate than that...

Please do a followup on Donny. His reflective thoughts were absolutely captivating and I wish him the power to get off his drugs and luck with his life.

He broke the negative cycle with his son. He prevented the transference down to the next generation. You have to respect that. I wish him all the best.
