    This is what love , caring and unity must be among the kalinago youths. And this is how the leaders should act with each other not fighting against each other. Keep the love guys.

    Hate the caption love the photo.I don’t like how it reads.I don’t like how the kid’s ethnicity was stated, highlighted. The caption reads like a line from a nature documentary, e.g “a lioness was caught grooming her young”. Very impersonal. Takes away from the beauty of the photo. I think “this young Kalinago boy” reads better than “This young Kalinago”.

      I totally agree, with M’s comment.

    • hmmm
      February 22, 2013

      Well just look at the video (now which video again?)and ignore the caption. The picture (image) since you made an attempt at flair, was submitted to relay the impression and capture the beauty of kindness and love between the two. Maybe learn some and you will start seeing past what it is you see and stop over analyzing things….jeez…

      I don’t understand why this comment got so many thumbs. The person is 100% correct. What if the child was black and the caption read, “this young black?” I just hate the fact that society labels everyone. Should have just said young child! Good and intelligent comment! Thumbs up!

  22. my take
    February 22, 2013

    Very nice gesture.. Oh how society could do with more adults with the heart of a child..Humble..
