The video below shows 26-month-old Maxwell and 27-month-old Finnegan, two boys who have been friends for at least a year.
"They just took off toward each other and I just got my phone out as quickly as possible, and just tried to record it," Maxwell's dad, Michael Cisneros, told CNN affiliate WPIX. "They are just too cute together."
Cisneros said he usually doesn't post private moments to Facebook, but he thought the boys' innocent hug was a beautiful, candid moment to share in the midst of racism and hate in the world.
Would it be fair to say that most racists simply learned to be racists and developed a race bias due to their personal bad experiences with black people, or perhaps it is from a mental conditioning from listening to music (rap encouraging violence) and movies (negative representation of black people) ?
KanwuliaExtra: Not applicable. Only show up when I am idle. Too many series to binge on Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime. The Spring-Summer weather is beautiful outside . . . . Too much to do outdoors too!
Those days are long gone! I am addicted to my family and my JOB! Nairaland is NEITHER, so. . . . . KPASH!
I noticed. Your activity here has reduced tremendously when compared to your heydays.
Tripitaka: Romangalactic. Please how do i do this calculation, I'm pretty confused.
It's pretty straightforward.
1. For your hrs/day: Total time spent online (hours) ÷ Total stretch of time (days)
To compute hours: 24hrs × 31days × nMonths To compute stretch of time: 365days × nYears
2. For your comments/day Total nComments ÷ Total stretch of time (days)
By the time you're done,you get an idea on how much time you spend on Nairaland. Like the example I used about my SystemSpecs babe Pocohantas who has made 7 comments every single day since 2014 while spending 2hours every single day in this same period.
HoliMaree: I am a man, and I don't care to have a male child, I prefer female children. I repeat myself clearly, I prefer female children.
HoliMaree: I'm looking for a tall dark young man with heart of gold. If you fit this description, Jesus is looking for you. Give your life totally and exclusively to him today
Today you're a man, some days ago you were a woman looking for a tall dark young man.
Hermaphrodite, don't go and find something to do you hear?
pocohantas: The preservation of a man’s name, doesn’t need to lie in the hands of his SON. The son can grow to be a Shekau, Bin Laden, Evans or a rapist.
The son may be a petty thief who would be burnt on the streets of Lagos for stealing an itel phone or a drug trafficker that was sentenced to death by hanging for trafficking drugs to Indonesia.
The son can decide to be a Miss Sahara or Bobrisky. Failing to use his follow-come prick for continuity. That is if he doesn’t yank it off.
The preservation of a man’s name lies in his legacy and the quality of kids he left on earth.
Preserving a man's name is for identity and inclusion, it has nothing to do with having wealth or legacy. If it did, many of you here should not be bearing your father or grandfather or great-grandfather's surname.
blessedvisky: I know this is a targeted post but it helped me reflect and see what I've been really up to. I will retrace my steps, spend less time (I'm on 1.42 hrs/day) and only visit where I can get valuable information. Thanks a lot.
You're welcome. Thanks for getting something from it
pocohantas: The exact reason his name is not there. While some men are working hard to make a name for themselves, names that will cut across generations- some others are waiting for their kids to do the continuity.
Michael Jackson is late. He has been dead for YEARS, his name still lives on. I don’t “know“ his kids, I am sure a clueless troll like you doesn’t know them either.
Dangote’s daughter, is still known more as a Dangote, than her husband’s name.
Buhari’s daughter even after marrying an Indimi, still couldn’t drop the BUHARI. Two powerful names joined together.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is a woman whose name would CONTINUE globally, way more than your father- who has a SON like you.
Linda Ikeji, singlehandedly put that name Ikeji on the map.
Davido’s father had money, a lot of people never knew that man, till Davido made FAME. Added it to the family name and they global now.
Every man doesn’t need a heir to keep his line. Every man needs to be remembered for his legacy. Every man who has a child, needs to train them well, to be purposeful- male or female. Spend your youthful years doing something more resourceful than trolling ME and even your whole village will attach to your name.
The men I mentioned did that, that is why their children, both male and female, are enjoying the dividends of their name.
Come back down to earth. Over 90% of Nigerians will never be as great and well known as the people you've been calling here, yourself included. That doesn't mean your father's name should not be preserved through his son.
My point exactly,you're a smart one. Your employer should pay you so much more for the time and resources dedicated to his forum, at least enough to reflect on your tax returns
Mariangeles: You think so? You think for a priceless jewel like me, men are hard to get? Dude! I'm so special and rare, and I even know it. Even you can't get me off your mind and mentions.
What are your measurements? Height, bust,waist and facial features. We need to know exactly what makes you rare and priceless
pocohantas: Pettiness, jealousy and a total inability to function outside trolling and making vile remarks is your REFLECTION. No one does it better than you. Goodluck trying to change your lingo henceforth.
Have a nice day...
Talking about addiction to Nairaland is now pettiness and jealousy? Did you learn this from ABSU? If I was guilty of vile remarks,i will be banned but I won't because I don't insult people.
You're the one who's been insulting me and my fiancée on a matter I shared here myself.
cococandy: Your auntie’s behavior was wrong. You need to tell your mom and your sister about your experience. I wouldn’t want my little sister to be treated badly too.
@OP someone said they might be looking for a maid. That’s another angle. maybe that’s their agreement with your mom. Verify from your mom please.
I’m just thinking of your 14yr old lil sis and my mind is not comfortable with that arrangement. I’m not saying your aunty is a bad person but she behaved badly and you can’t be sure she won’t do the same to your sister.
These things usually happen with visitors that the wife disapproves of. Them wives will agree to the visit at face value because they are too timid to tell the man what they don’t want and then take it out on the poor visitor.
A person who behaves badly is not a bad person? That's good to know. But I Wonderr why you don't have this same opinion for a rapist who had one bad encounter was accused of rape.
Lamanii22: @5 I got banned recently.... Mehn... Those few days were so long for me eehn.... Although i feel my ban was unfair cause the other person included "ode" when he quoted me and I fired back....
johnkey: My own pee is with the idiots feeling fly behind their keyboard quick to call someone they don't know and will never know, calling them broke or rapist or paedophile cause their comments doesn't go with yours. They turn here to their papa house, faceless forum for that matter.
Pavore9: For you to pick on those usernames clearly conveys your intentions. Yesterday it was you and those who align with your views that are people with "intimidating personality" and you mentioned these usernames yesterday as wannabes.
Face your own insecurities and leave those ladies alone!

Social media has almost completely changed how many of us communicate and it can be a useful way to stay connected. But is there a point where the obsession with this modern phenomenon goes from harmless fun to an intrusion on your life?
If you’re guilty of any of the following, then maybe it’s time for you to take a step back. The focus here is on Nairaland.
1. It is one of the first things you do in the morning
Almost every Nairaland addict will begin their daily routine by slowly and pointlessly scrolling through what they have missed here. Usually it’s not much, but that doesn’t deter them from staring into their phones.
2. You spend hours reading through entire threads
Scrolling though endless comments especially on threads where other people are simply having their own conversations and arguments, or clicking on topics just to know what/who is commenting on it.
3. You closely monitor ‘likes’
Nairaland ‘likes’ mean a lot to most Nairalanders. They’re a form of acceptance and after a while, getting more and more likes can become quite the addiction.
4. Making the right comment can make you exercise some brain power
When you're concerned about how perfect your comment will read to other people.
5. You feel anxious when your comment is hidden, or when you are banned and can't access Nairaland
Have you had a disappointed feeling in your guts anytime you see your comment is hidden or when you are banned?
6. You measure the life events of others by how upload-worthy their posts are
Your idea of a rich and successful person is based on where he/she lives, the photos they upload, or the stories they tell about their lives and jobs.
7. You literally announce stuff on Nairaland
It could be what you had for breakfast/lunch/dinner, what you just bought, how you just came back from work/meeting, how you're on leave and now have enough time to use Nairaland, etc
8. You cannot be caught slacking
Going an entire day without logging into your Nairaland account is an effort in futility. You need it, eat with it, sleep with it, sometimes even using it while taking a dump. This translates into spending at least 2hours daily on Nairaland.
9. Mistaking Nairaland's version of the world for reality
The inability to differentiate Nairaland from the world as well as differentiating Nairaland personas from real-life personas, has always been the subject of much discourse here. The bottomline however is that no one is 100% the same in real life as they are on Nairaland.
