Today, I opened up my Facebook account, and was scrolling down the News Feed and saw a picture from the page WeAreTeensღ and it said:
'Like' if you're not racist ♥
The picture was the following:
As you can see it's a light skinned and a dark skinned baby.
Then there were comments placed for the picture about how racist the picture is because the black baby does not wear clothing, and the white baby does.
My response to such comments is:
The little black baby doesn't have clothes like the white baby because
he is dressed the way many African Tribes do that is why he has the
ankle bracelets and other jewelry. It seems like the little boy is
admiring the fashion (onesie) the white baby has because he is not
accustomed in wearing such garments. That is the reason the baby is touching the clothing of the other child. The picture has nothing to do with
racism, but differences in cultures and the form of dress in each
culture.
People always come to conclusions when they see things
without first analyzing or researching information. Thankfully I was
blessed with the ability to see things differenly from many people.
Of course, I did not do any research on this picture. My response is just of what I can see from analyzing the picture.
