A photograph of a black man holding a white baby has gone viral on social media. As viewers began to realize what was really happening in the snapshot, they couldn’t believe their eyes.
“So a lot of people like this picture. So I wanted to take a minute to tell the story,” Facebook user Cody Shugart captioned a snapshot of his son sitting in the lap of a black man. Shugart went on to identify the black man as Milton West, who was his childhood next door neighbor. Shugart had many a good memory with Milton West at the center.
Milton West was my childhood next door neighbor,” wrote Shugart. “I knew him as Mr. Chip. He retired from DOW chemical as an operator. He has always been there for me since I was two years old. Growing up without a father was always difficult for me. But the good lord surrounded me with great men, Mr.Chip was one of them.”
“He constantly preached the value of an education, taught me how to take care of a yard, he taught me to see people for who they are not what they look like, he taught me how to treat my mother like a saint and many other life lessons,” added Shugart. “His contributions to me becoming a good son, man, and father were huge. I am forever grateful for God putting him in my life.”
“Everyday, I read something negative and how race relations are worse than ever. I disagree, and I hope this is a positive loving message to many people. This is just one story in little ol Victoria, Texas. I’m sure there are millions of similar stories across the United States,” he concluded.
People Everywhere Are Loving This Gorilla. Just Wait Till He Turns Around And You Will Know Why.
Animals are the obsession of the Internet. We can’t get enough of viewing videos of cats, reading about stray dogs that have been saved, or researching exotic animals. It is therefore not surprising that this silverback gorilla is so well-liked.
His name is Ambam, and he lives at the Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent, England, with his family. He is, as said earlier, a silverback gorilla, which is not unusual. But what distinguishes him is that he can walk like a person on two legs. It’s important to remember that Ambam is a magnificent 6-foot-34-stone gorilla.
The zoo experts find it astounding that he picked up walking on his own. He immediately became an adept by simply imitating the zookeepers. It’s a really amazing sight.
