"No one is born hating another person because of the color of their skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than it's opposite." - Nelson Mandela
Love is a choice & so easy to do...if we'd just get out of our own way. Love is the simplicity that self complicates. A wise person one told me.."people are the currency of God. This child's , trusting, natura expression of love & the woman's (a bit apprehensive), response in love. I pray this child has inspired folks to do what we were created to do .. Love & be loved . I must admit I often wondered if it's the latter that's hardest for people...receive love?
The sweetest. This little precious white baby came up to me after the Barbie movie when me and my family were taking pictures and grabbed my leg. He mommie apologize and said she kept saying she wanted to go hug the Barbie. My heart ❤🤦🏽♀️🥰
It’d be nice to be undamaged but I wouldn’t have unlearned what I learned in school. Everyone can be racist, it’s not all about black ppl bc they can sure be racist too even though my high school teacher and classmate said they couldn’t while the classmate made fun of white people
Even a child can recognize beauty when it sees it. cuz this lady and her dress are out of this world beautiful and the child saw it. what a good eye little baby.
Yes so true. As little girls we're always so entranced by the angelic appearance of a bride of all shades and shapes. It's really like seeing a real life angel to them. It's a precious and surreal thing. ❤😊
Children don't see people as race, or gender or anything, they just see people as people, because of how innocent they are. People seem really shocked by that for some reason.
Yes, sugar. She is real. Your doll now has a living face. I love that. I love the parents of this child. As a black female, I grew up only seeing white dolls.
@brighterstarr Did you misconstrue my comment? When I say white dolls, I really mean white dolls. There were no black dolls. If there were, we didn't see them in stores. I grew up seeing people as well. Coming to America and living here, my eyes got opened to "differences" in people, sadly thru words and actions.
@user-antonettics, you are correct... when I was coming up, there were only a few black dolls. If you go into the stores today, black dolls are still fewer on the shelf than their counterpart.
@Christian Wiebrock, I don't agree. If children listened after one redirection parents' lives would be much easier. Any responsible parent would redirect their child not to touch without asking, first.
@@АннаХеврингова Ah -people like you who need to go back to kindergarten and learn to pay attention to the important things in life. I am truly sorry for you.
@pietro4772. Why wouldn’t she be a woman? She’s dressed like one. That’s good enough for me. Facially she looks like a woman. Are you saying this because her hair is shaved? Explain your comment.
Just learn to be open to people. In all forms. However they choose to be. I don’t give a rats arses who they are from birth. It’s who they are now, that’s the important thing. I don’t give a fig about sexuality or colour either. Damn it can’t we just live with each other and accept?
@@wiseoldfool101The todler has a babydoll looking just as the lady with the nice dress.....Maybe she recognise the beauty of the lady and the flower💐💐
Everybody just assumes the parents are white. My granddaughters have black baby dolls also, and you'd assume they're white just as you'd assume my daughter is but I'm half black. But if there isn't black in their bloodline yes it's awesome.
here we go, I was waiting for this cliché comment. I will know you are really "anti ras!st" when you make the same comment if you see a blk kid reaching out to a wht person. Until then this is just more v!rtue s!gnal!ng.
I had a black baby doll in 1972. I called her coconut. My gran asked me why. I told her cause we are all the same on the inside. From the mouths of babes...
@@sarahkubagenda9864 she was about to touch the dress - most small children like to touch things they find inviting or interesting. He was teaching her boundaries
I didn't even realize the color of the doll's skin and had to watch the video again. Call me naive, but I didn't even know there was racial discrimination in the world until I entered high school. I was born and raised in a multicultural neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, and raised my own children in the same way my parents raised me.
So is the dress, and so is the child - inside and out. No wonder the child wanted to touch her, most likely thinking: is she real, let me check. So natural.
and the father or whoever this man was disturbed the "touch"! ahhhhhhrgh! Real magic was not possible. Such a beautiful/open face with benevolent sight although the desired moment was interrupted lets me hope that the father or whoever the man was has learned in the meantime. Do Not Touch A Running System! To experience the two girls reaction would have been quite an eye-opener for me personally. But so I saw only how the magic was prevented. Thereby it looked promising. Didn't it? soo beautifull anyways. Someone said "Children are the block on our leg that always brings us back down to earth." So where is the magic if not among us? Look who she is "protecting" in her stroller.
She said, “it’s my baby doll all grown up 🥹” I had a black Barbie when I was little, I picked her out myself because I just thought she was so pretty. Some adults around me made a big fuss about it and made me cry. 😔 But I know as an adult that it was just ignorance at work. Black is beautiful and so was my Barbie doll.
@@aprilstafford8829 oh I did! My aunt bought it for me. She’s who I had went to the store with, and she didn’t say anything about it, she just bought it for me because it was what I wanted. It was some “friends” of the family that made a big deal about it when I was carrying her around with me. Just some poor misguided people. In their defense, though it’s not much of one, I think they realized how terrible they were being when I busted out crying. A good learning experience that children are taught terrible behavior and ways of thinking.
She, the baby was in awe with this Queen and loved the white dress with beautiful flowers 🌼🌼🌼. It is a beautiful dress and she looks fantastic wearing it! ❤️🌼❤️🌼❤️
kids and animals are born without hate and if we all just love eachother and our earth.. our kids will do the same.. nobody is born mean.. their "parents" make them that way.. we get a chance to change it each generation
I'm glad the child's parents bought her the baby doll that she pointed to. Now she's pointing at a bigger baby doll that can walk and talk, but that doll already has a mother.
Even the gentle way he stopped her from grabbing the dress! "I know you love it but don't just touch people with out asking" Obviously the lady didn't care but they are still enforcing the boundaries early before they become a problem! They should give classes.
Beautiful things in the form of reality has to be ,seen ,smelled an touched!! To be something real in our minds as humans!! She simply wanted to explore all the senses God had giving to her too take in such beauty! Your a walking piece of art only God could have created someone so beautiful she had to touch to make sure it was real! Ebony Queen in it’s human form I salute you! “Quote “ ENJOY THE BALANCE OF YOUR DAY AN BE WELL (Dr.Andre Hall)
She was like “hold up, Dad..I’m meeting the real life Barbie”…so sweet..looking like a professional Mama already the way she whipped her stroller around 💚
The baby doll made me tear up. My mom was deadset that she wasn’t going to raise a racist. So, all of my baby dolls were not only white but were of Color, as well. Same with my Barbies. She got me Barbies of every race, even the series Barbie had in the 90’s of dolls dressed in traditional clothes from around the world. When a Black family moved in to the neighborhood my mom made me introduce myself to them and play with the kids who ended up becoming some of my best friends. It worked. I think all parents should raise their kids this way and good on this child’s father for doing that.
My son plays with baby dolls of every gender and every race. He loves taking care of all his babies. Whenever we go to an indoor play gym, he always ends up caring at least one around!
@@katieneely2640 As someone who is gender non-conforming I can’t even begin to tell you how proud I am of you for not forcing your son into some archaic gender norms. Little boys can possibly grow up to be fathers and need to learn how to be caring nurturers, too. My parents raised me much the same way and let me play with any toys I wanted, regardless if they were for “boys” or “girls”. Turns out, I’m non-binary so being able to grow up without rigid gender norms helped my transition later in life to be non-traumatic. I wish more parents were like you. There’s be much less mental illness in children if there were more parents like you, that’s for sure.
@@RianLyons oh my heart. You just confirmed that despite the criticism I have received I am doing okay as a parent for letting my children play with whatever toys they want. My other son has also played princess dress up and I refused to make him stop. I just think kids should be kids and be free to be themselves. How else will they know who they want to be when they grow up?
@@katieneely2640 For what It’s worth, I think you’re doing great. You’re definitely right, a child needs to learn for themselves what they like and who they want to be, and you’re absolutely letting that happen, and supporting them too. I think more parents should be like you!
Wow! Your mom was/is an incredible mother and not because she allowed you to befriend and play with black kids, but because she allowed you to have that option and was a very open minded woman which enriched your life with many opportunities of friendships and experiences from all walks of life. Stay blessed. 😊❤
@@MsSexyDiva4Lyfe I'm white and I had several black dolls and white dolls. My niece is turning 3 in a couple months and I'd say her babies are evenly split between black and white with a few latin dolls thrown in. She picks the doll she thinks is prettiest, doesn't matter to her or any of us which one she picks. And if we are trying to show her a doll, we pick up each different variation of that same doll to let her choose. I'd say lately like 80% of the dolls she picks have been black.
@@allisonhunter1063 awww I love it! But sadly, when I grew up in the 80’s they hardly had black dolls. And..even more sadly, me and a lot of girls I knew thought the white dolls were prettier. And that’s why it’s so important for little black girls to have a representation of themselves.
@@brios8175 Yeah sorry but my priorities are to not get murdered in the streets, have equal healthcare rights, lower the disgustingly high suicide rate, etc. And lowering violence and discrimination against our people starts at a young age. If kids are old enough to use gay as an insult, they're old enough to actually learn what it means. There's hundreds of kids movies with straight couples and male/female kisses and it's fine, but a gay kiss is 'spoiling' the children? Lawmakers are banning trans kids from playing sports to protect them. So they can know that they're trans by their own party's admission. Make it all make sense.
Children are not born knowing hate, indifference, or racism, it's something that is taught and clear3 this child is being taught properly. Kudos to the parents 👍
That right there is why CRT and other ridiculous antics need to not be taught to children. We are in a very liberal state, and our Schools tell kids, "GO be friends with that different colored kid..just don't do it to have a "token" friend".. then make them feel horrible about themselves FOR having friends of different races (i.e telling them they're only friends with them because of *insert skin tone*, and it's worse if they dont have enough "diverse" friends..ewww. Why would anyone tell a child that.
This is precious. I remember wanting a baby alive doll, and my mom said no because it was white. It crushed me. When I had my daughter I bought her multiple baby alive dolls in different shades. What I didn’t have she did. There’s no excuse for that. Beautiful baby and model. May her perspective on humanity always be pure 💕
My stepsister is white. When I got married, her toddler daughter saw me in my wedding dress and said: 😮she's a princess!! It didn't phase her that I didn't look like the princesses in her toy box because to her, I did!! ❤
Dad needs to let baby girl enjoy her moment of wonder. It means so much to babies, that's how they broaden their knowledge of this fantastic world all around them . There's never any harm caused, and the moment is also spoiled for the lady receiving the kid's admiration and curiosity. We need to realize these are precious moments in life.
Ohhh, notice the baby has a black doll in her stroller, that in itself shows how she's being raised. Excellent parents. That's why I say learning begins in the home. Again Excellent parents!
@@aprilarmstead895 that was exactly my point. She is totally open to people, PERIOD! Such a beautiful thing. I wish this wasn't as rare as it seems to be. I feel for people who are so lacking, that they have to blame others for their shortcomings.
I love parents who bring diversity into their children’s lives so that they don’t see color, they see beauty and life. Another human is much like them and deserve love.
The black baby doll in the stroller pushed by a white child tells me everything I need to know about the parents. There truly is hope in this world and I treasure this photograph!
Unfortunately, A LOT of things are about race and ethnicity. Exposing children to a broader spectrum in their youth, even through toys, books, television shows, playgrounds can normalize equalities. That face that we HAVE to normalize it, is the sad part.
@@loveislove2359 until we get there, race is the point. I’m black and seeing a little white kid with a black doll is everything to us because I grew up with both white and black dolls. My cousin didn’t like blk dolls because other blk people made fun of her dark skin. If you was light skinned in the 80s you was beautiful, everyone favored you the most. So if my cousin would have seen a white kid with a blk doll, that would have helped her accept and love herself better. Would have saved some blk dolls from the trash, she would throw the blk dolls away 😢
@@loveislove2359 Can't have the next generation of racists if we don't indoctrinate the babies into seeing a division! It is "necessary" to make kids aware of what adults fight about so the fight will continue forever. The fact that grown adults don't understand how they create the problem when they "normalize" things is why racism will never end.
The child is very perceptive, and kind, and she will grow up to be in Fashion I would bet on that. Look at the way she sees this beautiful Lady and the Beautiful Gown. a STUNNING INTERACTION! I wish I knew the little girl so I could follow her as she grows. She will design I bet!!!!
I disagree. Children absolutely see color. What they don't do is associate hate or disdain with the various "shades" they see. Seeing color is natural. Hate is taught.
@@quandaviousgooch4726 I know it’s not good. But in my opinion the father reaction is a little too much if you watch the video properly. The lady was willing thou,but he prevented her from saying hello to the child.Anyway she is a kid so, he can teach her with out making all those dramma. Anyway it's my opinion .
The BEST compliments I have EVER gotten, came from toddlers. Years ago, someone pulled me to the side at work and said, "this little girl (white) thinks you're Princess Tiana and she wants to meet you". She had the doll with her, too. I gave her the biggest hug and spent time with her. I will never forget the sparkle in her eyes. She's prob a teen now. I cried when I got off work lol My bestfriend's (white) 4 yr old daughter (whom I consider my niece, but met 2 years ago when I moved back home), thinks I'm a princess. She says, "you're chocolate and so beautiful" and strokes my face, skin and hair. The tears! Brings me to full blown tears every time. Children are children. It's adults and the world, that changes them 🥺❤
@@missreihtop Some of the best insults I’ve gotten have come from kids 😂😂 The compliments they give are very sincere indeed. Sweet story of the Princess the child saw 🥰 Sometimes a child has to remind a real princess what she is. 👑💜
They can also be savage af. My daughter, then 6, loved a t-shirt on the hanger. She begged me to try it on saying I'd be beautiful. I came out to show her and my husband - her response? "it looked better on the hanger." *sobs in mum*
my granddad (he’s a retired minister) says that children are unpolluted by the world…it’s why they are so pure hearted and open. There’s a beauty in that. There’s a wonderful mysterious spark with that…we have to hold on to that and never let it go as we age!
