Photo Appears to Show Black Lives Matter Supporters Holding Down and Kneeling on Neck of White Baby

Poor baby. I hope they take him away from his mother permanently. Disgusting.

That will or likely has happened. The father should have full custody.

Let's hope he does. For the sake of the child. This is beyond evil. How one can do this to a small toddler is beyond me.

Disgusting

Michael Jordan traits have nothing similar to an ape

No they don't. And Homo erectus was not an ape, he belonged to our own genus (Homo) and was a close relative of us. My point is that you cannot blame evolution theory for racism. The idea that humans come from apes he is a popular misrepresentation of evolution. In reality what evolutionary biologists say is that humans and apes have common ancestors. And as an Italian you should know that even the Catholic Church accepts evolution - and it has done it for a long time.

Darwin evolution is not science

This is disgusting as the OP pics.

It s good that moral issues are analyzed, because they are key to understand our current society and also its politics. For instance, the power of the new left is basically moral, they have convinced the majority that they have the moral upper ground. Now they can also threaten dissenters with retaliation, like firing from job, but this is only possible because a lot of people have accepted many of their premises, and those premises are grounded on morality.

I find the OP pic more disturbing that the one in the cage, because - even if it's staged - it depicts brutal bodily harm to a toddler (race is not an issue here). The other picture is repulsive, but it doesn't show a physical harm to the kid, even if it's dehumanizing and humiliating. In reality we don't know how the boy in the cage was treated (I assume he didn't live in the cage, it was posing in an exhibit), but I'm talking here about gut impressions. Also the time factor is an issue, the boy in the cage was smthg from a century ago, while the toddler pic is present. And the implicit message (to my perception at least) is that even white children are free game now. And here the fact that I'm white too adds to my outrage.

I tried also to make a little mental experiment: imagine that the 'cage pic' was from, say, some Southern Asian country, and instead of two white girls there were two dark S. Asian girls. Would I still feel as disturbed? I found out not. The fact that this happened in Europe gives me a gut, instinctive reaction of guilt or shame. I also feel it contradicts the moral principles that were already generally accepted in the West. If it were something from a Third World country I'd subconsciously feel that "well, we know that they are morally backward" and, in a way, I'd consider it "business as usual", as weird it sounds to say that. I repeat, I'm mostly talking about gut, instinctive reactions. But they are what mostly matters when we make moral choices. In a paradoxical way, I think the attitude of judging our own actions more sternly is ethnocentric and patronizing, and it's linked to the assumption that other cultural or races don't have the same moral responsibility but also lack the ability to take moral actions. And that is in a way also dehumanizing (we say that animals cannot comprehend morals but only act according to their nature). Any thoughts?

It would be less disgusting because pigmentation wise south asians and blacks aren't miles off, but Belgians and blacks are. So with south asians we would see it less as a race issue, unlike the pic with the belgians.

I don't think pigmentation is the issue here. I used the example of S. Asians because they are a different race/ethnicity from Blacks, regardless of their skin color. And there is - or has been - some anti-SSA racism among them too.

I dunno. It may have something to do with colonialism. Belgians are well known for stealing tons of resources from the Congo, and the idea that they treat the people shit too may have been too much for people.
