Proof If Anyone Here Needs It

Have a look at the video

Thankfully, not everyone is racially minded. It just shows how people of all cultures, religions and ethnicity can work together. I hope the young lad makes a full and speedy recovery.

I noticed that the man in the robes with a book in his hand did nothing to help!

[choux]

Could you not see the positive?

[-Talbot-]

That's Donald Trump.

[anneasquith]

I didn't even notice him Tilly, it's not impossible he may ill.?

[andy-hughes]

If you had not pointed out the racial mix of individuals, I doubt I would have given it a moment's thought.

Indeed not everyone is racially minded - but perhaps you are?

[-Talbot-]

I don't think if I had come across this story I would have made any racial conclusions.

[Mamyalynne]

Heroes all, there are good people everywhere.

Hope the young lad recovers.

[-Talbot-]

I think choux's motive is to put forward a positive story (thread) to combat the numerous negative stories (threads)

[-Talbot-]

That was for andy and his suggestion that choux may be racially minded.

Why has this got anything to do with race?

A boy was trapped under a car and people came to help rescue him.

End of.

[Quizproquo]

End of what Cassa? Your thought process capabilities?
This was clearly meant to spread a positive message but is once again being made divisive by people who seem to live for just that.
Anything genuinely new or different seems to get dispensed of pretty quickly.
Maybe that's why there is another thread currently on the go asking why AB is dying out?

Strange post. The 'race' thing wouldn't have occurred to me.

[Peter Pedant]

well good on you nigh !

anyway a nice feel good story
( just been looking at Little Boy Blue - god what a depressing story)

[naomi24]

Peter Pedant, I would say thank you, but frankly I can't see why the 'race' thing would have occurred to anyone - unless they were specifically looking for it.

[Zacs-Master]

I noticed the ging disappeared early. Tsssk, all shirkers them gingers.

[cassa333]

Quizproquo, race is obviously a big issue for you.

Race is not an issue sometimes and in this case has nothing to do with a boy being rescued from under a car.

Or do your thought processes stop at race?

Quaizpro - //This was clearly meant to spread a positive message but is once again being made divisive by people who seem to live for just that. //

This is nothing to do with 'being divisive'.

I don't believe that anyone with an ounce of humanity is going to look at the scenario in front of them - a child dying - and work out the racial mix of helpers before deciding whether or not to pitch in.

Of course, that is utter nonsense, people are human, and want to help if they can, so they do, without thinking.

So the notion that this is some sort of United Nations of spontaneous abandonment of racial differences in order to come together for the good of a child is even bigger nonsense.

I would suggest that - apart from choux - no-one has looked at this image and pondered for a second the ethnicity of the participants, or seen any significance in it.

I think that is an odd perception, and I said so.

That's not being divisive, that's making a detached judgement on what I have read - and that is how this section operates.

[TWR]

Peter P that's reality, life's sad, the program is very well put together.

[ummmm]

Zacs - I'll have you know my ginger OH rescued a little tiny kitten :-)

Hopefully the child is not dying, and I am sure everyone on AB wishes this young seven years old, a swift, speedy and full recovery.
