Description
After i posted this image 1 year ago it got viral traction. Even now i see this image everywhere . But this image still gets the same hate for all the wrong reasons - people label it as racist - . Here is how i picked the skin color of the children : I googled the list of the poorest/richest countries in the world . Here are some of the poorest according to all/most top search sites on google :
Congo (Democratic Republic of the),Rwanda,Niger,
Djibouti,Burundi,Zambia ,Mozambique, Comoros,Chad,Togo,Liberia,
Uganda,Burkina, Faso,Lesotho,Sierra, Leone,Mauritania,Central African Republic,Haiti,Guinea,Nepal,Eritrea,Nigeria,Guinea-Bissau,Senegal,Mali,Yemen,Ethiopia,Papua New Guinea, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, UnitedRepublic ofMadagascar,Malawi,Cameroon,Côte d'lvoire, Myanmar,Sudan,Angola,Gambia,Timor-Leste,Benin,Bangladesh.
This was really not supposed to be about the race of the children - its about how we forget whats important in life - i wanted to raise awareness on something i have seen is happening on the social media . ... and yes im well aware that there are poor white people and rich black people duhh

i see not rascism, but the immense gap between the first and third world countries. I think that people should never talk too soon, they're not seeing the bigger picture.

About reaction of people: Modern people think with theyr emotion not with the reason.
About your pix. I see all poverty, just not the same kind. Decease of society.
I like your art, but not this one. It still enough interessing to push me to give a comment.
Continue on your way and cheers !

Social media, comment, like, and friend.
For me it show rich kid stuck with pixel interaction and finally, got nobody to speak, few affection, and no friend.

Just guessing, but the speech bubble under the first kid is comments, the heart is favorites, and the person is followers. Under the other kid is meals, houses, and family or parents.

So then 6 hearts is bad then. Like, not enough? Otherwise Im not sure I get it.
Although if I ever post something on Facebook I get 0 hearts, so maybe I should just always be crying.

I think its saying we cry over not having enough likes" even though other people around the cry because they have no food, home, and only one family member.

Powerful! And I really ask myself how someone can be so ignorant and break this piece down to race and you being racist!? This is even so sad as the message of your drawing as well.

This... This is very powerful. I feel I can relate to this, as just a month ago I went on a service trip to Nicaragua; a third world country. It really gave me perspective of this world and made me realize I need to focus my priorities. Thank you for sharing vuv

The message is very clear, but people always nitpick

One indisputable fact that underpins all of the deep cultural, social and economic rifts in our world. We are but one race THE HUMAN RACE and as individuals of that RACE we all seek similar things, Love, Acceptance, Peace of mind and an opportunity to become all that we personally strive to become.
We really need to pull our heads and hearts out of the wrong places and pay attention of the the globe, or our great grandchildren will be living in a no mans land. At the most three generations, and life as we experience it now will seem like a story about Heaven.

ignorance at its finest.

Can't believe people thought this was a race thing. I mean, the message is pretty clear, but they must have not seen the 'whole' picture.

I don't think it's meant make you feel bad about yourself, it's meant to show us what's really important in a child's life. Food, home, parents, and love are all the basic needs for a child. Unfortunately, not all children get the whole package. Some are born into good suburban homes, some are born into hostile environments. We can't help the fact that we were all born in different areas of the world, all we can do is try our best to help one another as much as we can. God didn't make us to strive for perfection, He made us so that we can learn from each other and ourselves.

As for why it's gone viral and what's upsetting you, it's just as you said: People forget what's important

I don't know how people interpret this as racist, I think the message of the drawing is very clear...
