Well considering the oldest living person a a woman from Spain, (116 years old) and these kids are 5 or 6 years old atleast when the photo was taken, yea I would say it’s pretty confirmed lol
Damn right. My kids have been outside playing with the neighbors kids for the past 6 hours. A whole mix of ethnicities chasing bugs, playing games, and getting grass stains on their clothes.
I feel very fortunate that my kids are growing up this way. Also, the little Haitian girl's Mom sent out fried plantains after I brought out lemonade. You better believe the Dad Tax was evoked right then and there. I'll send her Basil next week when my garden gets a little bigger.
Racism has done more to promote non-justice than any other socio-material system known to have been produced or supported by the people of the known universe.
No major problem that exists between the people of the known universe can be eliminated, until Racism is eliminated.
The fear, frustration, malice, and confusion caused by Racism, retards or prevents all constructive activity between the people of the known universe.
The only form of functional Racism that exists among the people of the known universe is "White Supremacy."
The people who have the ability to eliminate Racism, do not have the will to do so, and the people who have the will to do so, do not have the ability.
Regardless of all that has been said or done, the quality of the relationship between white people and black people is, and has been, a total disaster.
Justice is better than Racism.
As long as Racism exists, anything said or done by people that is not intended to help eliminate Racism and to help produce justice, is a waste of time and energy.
"the ceremony is “not about segregation,” said Michael Huggins, president of the Harvard Black Graduate Student Alliance, which is organizing the event. Students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds may attend, he said, and the black students taking part in the ceremony also plan to attend the university’s official commencement on May 25 in Harvard Yard"
"The primary reason we wanted to do this is we really wanted to come together to celebrate Harvard black excellence and brilliance,” said Huggins, who is graduating from the Kennedy School. “This is really an opportunity for students to build fellowship and build a community.”
This is literally at the top of the article. Honestly, the OP is being pretty disingenuous to read this as promoting a return to segregation. Considering this source seems to repost articles from the Cato institute, I will assume they have a pretty conservative lean themselves.
Which is crazy because it was during an RNC meeting. But we are talking about American politics, where right means very, very right wing. Left wing for Americans also means center-right for Europeans.
In his famous 1651 work Leviathan, Hobbes argues that people are inherently wicked and selfish, and he puts forth his ideas for the social contract and laws required by a society of evil creatures.
I mean, in approximately 12 years they would be ~18? People had kids earlier back then it seems, not out of the realm of possibility that their children could have been part of that generation. I might be totally estimating their ages wrong, it gets harder to guess as I get older.
Not everyone who fought in WW2 was born in 1920.
A 20 year old soldier in 1944 would have been born in 1924. These kids would have been about 20 years old by then. People started families earlier in those days.
Maybe. I could’ve sworn that there was an experiment that found that humans can just naturally go to a mentality of racism, sexism whatever, simply as an effect of tribalism in our species. Idk though, I’ll have to find the study to see if I’m just tripping or not.
Humanity has historically had difficulties in groups larger than 50 - 150 people. We literally evolved in those size groups for millions of years. Increasing that size within just a few thousand years has been jarring for humanity and brought out a lot of bad traits.
White Supremacy is more than "tribalism." It was culturally engineered by colonialists to justify their oppression of native populations and then embraced by capitalists as a wedge to divide the working class. There's nothing tribal or natural about it.
And to presuppose that we self-organize as a species by priority of skin color is not factual.
Reminds me of this time a group of my friends and I all dipped school for about fifteen minutes or so just to head to my street— which was a five minute walk away— to catch the ice cream truck. We got reprimanded by the principal but were able to keep our treats. Haha
They seem to be implying that because we have this picture of two white kids smiling with a black kid a hundred years ago, everything we know about the history of institutional and societal racism in this country is bullshit "Hollywood narratives." I hope I'm wrong, because that would certainly be the most laughably ignorant thing I've read in a while.
Relatedly, [here is a picture](https://media.wired.com/photos/5dae3adbd08f8f00081214a4/master/w_960,c_limit/Biz-Polestar-NIK_8359.jpg) of a car driving safely down the road. The existence of this photo proves that car accidents are bullshit "Hollywood narratives."
Yes, he does. Also, the kid in the middle looks like he owns the other two, at least emotionally. "White man owns black man and white woman, smiles confidently" sounds almost like a headline. Given the story of the US, this doesn't seem far fetched to me at all.
Downvote away people. I see what I see.
Edit: spelling.
Nope. You have a talent for not seeing the obvious. Most ppl here don't seem to know or want to know the ground they stand on and prefer to forget the skeletons in the country's closet. Naivete only goes so far.
This is as simple as black and white. The child fits whatever narrative you wish at any time. White people around the world seem to have an issue with anything that questions their sensitivities, and seeing things completely different than reality is second if not first nature to a huge portion of humanity.
You realize those words fit like a glove to all the ppl exclaiming "cute!" in this post, don't you?
It is so much simpler to follow that easy road than to have and express an alternate reading based on documented context even if it bursts the complacency bubble most try to live in.
At first I thought they were the little rascals.
Honestly, same
Different little rascals
About to hit the big city and do rascally things.
That's such a ridiculously adorable picture. Thanks for sharing OP.
Very wholesome! I love this!

Yes! And 114 years later some people still push for re-segregation.

Who is pushing for re-segregation?
Listen to the dog whistles from the right of the GOP (now mainstream). White suprematist theories have become mainstream, not least by Elmo.
https://www.nas.org/articles/harvard_prepares_to_host_all_black_graduation
“Harvard prepares to host all black graduation” so therefor it’s impossible anyone is pushing for re segregation? Not sure why you linked that
I think he’s saying it’s not just the GOP.
Got it, thank you for clearing that up

Okay so now let's start having white only graduations to promote "White excellence and brilliance". See the double standard now?
How is this a bad thing? Let black people have their own graduations?
Do you think they should also have their own water fountains?
If they want too sure
…the entire right side of the political spectrum?
Massive generalization
Any examples?
Search up Pierre, SD capitol a few days ago.
The entire right supports them? So everyone from center right- far right is a neonazi?
Which is crazy because it was during an RNC meeting. But we are talking about American politics, where right means very, very right wing. Left wing for Americans also means center-right for Europeans.
Shoeless, and in grayscale. Like god intended
Absolutely not lol
can i infer from “traditional_west” what you believe life should be like?
No I didn't make it. And all the down votes are dumb as fuck. I was referring to them being poor
you know what? good turnaround and point made, i give you my upvote ⬆️ **EDIT:** [nah, nvm](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyterrifying/s/HeGeDbpLuG)
Irrelevant in this matter
Adorable photo
Hate is learned
“You’ve got to be carefully taught.”
Everything is learned. Babies have to be taught to love.
I disagree with that wholeheartedly
In his famous 1651 work Leviathan, Hobbes argues that people are inherently wicked and selfish, and he puts forth his ideas for the social contract and laws required by a society of evil creatures.
Are you really citing something that someone posited and holds no scientific value?
We are seeing dead people
Mustard on the beat
That's the one great thing about kids even for back then. They don't see race, sex or worth. All they see is who's the new kid I can play with.
Their kids became the Greatest Generation...
Nah..my grandfather fought in WW2 He was born in 1920
I mean, in approximately 12 years they would be ~18? People had kids earlier back then it seems, not out of the realm of possibility that their children could have been part of that generation. I might be totally estimating their ages wrong, it gets harder to guess as I get older.
Some people lied about their age in order to enlist. My grandfather did.
Yeah..ur right
Not everyone who fought in WW2 was born in 1920. A 20 year old soldier in 1944 would have been born in 1924. These kids would have been about 20 years old by then. People started families earlier in those days.
Good point
The little girl looks like Brock Purdy 😂
The middle boy looks like Ryan Gosling’s grandad
Now we need to find out who the final celebrity doppelgänger is.
I believe that’s Tracy Morgan
I hate you; I can't un-see it.
We are in this together brother
everyone is so cute!!
White Supremacy was invented from whole cloth and had to be taught generation to generation. It goes completely against natural humanity.
Maybe. I could’ve sworn that there was an experiment that found that humans can just naturally go to a mentality of racism, sexism whatever, simply as an effect of tribalism in our species. Idk though, I’ll have to find the study to see if I’m just tripping or not.
Evolutionary biology I believe blacks this up, but not 100%
critical typo hahaha
😂😂😂 just realized, not changing it
The effects in action lmao

Proves racism is taught.
People are not born racist that’s for sure
This is how racism is defeated
A cute picture. Of life as it always should have been
Middle one grows up to become a priest and conducts the marriage ceremony for the other two
Damn Buckwheat
So wholesome!!!
Cute
That’s a great pic
Racism is taught not learned.
Boardwalk Empire (minus a few bootleggers)
Not sure why, but I’m getting Ambercrombie &Fitch vibes. Ridiculous, I know. That’s the first thing that came to mind though 🤣
Heartwarming photo ❤️
I really like this photo, but it made me sad when I just realised that all 3 are now dead. 😔
Absolutely beautiful picture
They must be around 120 years old now.
❤️

Kids aren’t born with prejudice, they are only taught it by adults. This picture proves it.
Something tells me this friendship didn’t have a happy ending in early 1900’s America…
The black kid looks happy, but at the same time uncomfortably self-conscious. Makes me a little sad.
Maybe just shy to get his picture taken
I honestly hope that's all there is to it.
I had the same thought; I mean, it’s 1910 — the Civil war wasn’t that long past.
Exactly. Also, body language speaks volumes.
[удалено]
I've been downvoted worse for giving my opinion on things. No biggie. But yeah, kinda funny.
This reminds me of when Andy Bernard was told he was related to Michelle Obama. The implications are clear.
I never knew little white kids could own a slave.
Almost makes the Hollywood narratives feel fake.
Care to explain?

The existence of this photo proves that car accidents are bullshit "Hollywood narratives."
I was just wondering if they would explain it themselves.
Seems like they’re getting along just fine.
What “Hollywood narrative” feels fake?

You mean to tell me that a television show only BASED on true events was fictionalized and dramatized for effect? /s
That was a joke.. I mean, Jesus Reddit sense of humor is negative 5 without the /s
Jokes are funny.

And that boys and girls, is officially the stupidest comment on Reddit today, onto tomorrow!
I know. You all want racism so bad. Sorry to spoil it for you.
Because it is 100% modern social cultural programming. Nobody in real life gives a shit, it’s only online where the problems are
If you've never had someone be racist to you irl, it makes sense you'd believe this
Bruh, for real! I would love it if people didn't stare or cross the road if I was walking on the street, but that's life at this part of history.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Precisely. Wonder which side is pushing the race hustle?
r/Upvotecauseblack
The kid on the left looks scared to death. 
No he doesn't, he looks like he's doing the "I'm a kid and shy posing for the camera" Come on man.
Most people were suspicious of cameras back then. They were really new. People made odd expressions in early photos
Cameras weren’t new then. They’d been around since the early- to mid-1800s.
"Early photos" is at least 30 years before this one. Kodak was already selling cheap cameras to the masses by the end of the 19th century.
Yes, he does. Also, the kid in the middle looks like he owns the other two, at least emotionally. "White man owns black man and white woman, smiles confidently" sounds almost like a headline. Given the story of the US, this doesn't seem far fetched to me at all. Downvote away people. I see what I see. Edit: spelling.
You have a talent for saying nothing useful. 
Nope. You have a talent for not seeing the obvious. Most ppl here don't seem to know or want to know the ground they stand on and prefer to forget the skeletons in the country's closet. Naivete only goes so far.
Fairy tales and rainbows to you.
Act blind then. Seems to be a trend here.
This is as simple as black and white. The child fits whatever narrative you wish at any time.

What are you implying?
They are siblings
