Comments
AMATEUR DECORATING LIKE A PRO: To see the world through the eyes of a child is EVERYTHING!
thebrunocosta: This is proof that hatred is taught! Children cannot hate without the example
alino_chelse92: "Jackson is me,& I'm Jackson" This one got me tears
Chris Taka: As silly as their plan is, the fact that the only difference that they see in each other is their hairstyles is kinda deep ...
SouthernGent: The world could learn a LOT from these two.
Tonya Kimble: It takes two little boys to show people what love is. It’s a shame that everyone else can’t be like this. God bless you both always.
Dave Henderson: We need more feel good stories like this.
Lorraine Jackson: So beautiful, a joy for the heart, racism of any sort is learned behaviour, these boys are still perfectly pure!!
Wlnd94: This just goes to show... all that really matters in life is the freshness of your cut.
Run Play Have Fun: As a kindergarten teacher, I can tell you that this kind of innocence is the reason I teach.
Malan Moody: I remember the first time I saw this I teared up. Love, friendship, and kindness are colorless. It make me think of how Jesus points out that many of the important lessons in life can be seen from a child's view.
Devin Moss: This video should teach everyone that we all deserve love. Regardless of racial backgrounds, genders, sexuality, social incomes, or any walk of life, we gotta stick together and love.
KarenE: That is just so precious! How sweet is it that they think the teacher won't be able to tell them apart. This story makes my heart flutter. These boys obviously come from GREAT homes and have wonderful morals. They are gonna be awesome gentlemen when they are older especially if they continue to see each other and others like they do now. Love it love it love it!
Judith Hileman: That is perfect - kids don’t see colors… I wish adults could feel the same. We are all just people , who cares about color… can’t we all just respect and like each other??? Our kids learn from us… be the example!!!
Adam Lund-Soerensen: If the teacher doesn’t play along then we’ve failed humanity
Baron James: Racism is not born Racism is been taught... This the kind of Love we want✌️
David L.: I honestly have tears in my eyes after watching this! To see the innocence of these little guys just touched my heart!❤
Marie Green: They are going to be life long friends. Isn’t that what love is all about! The innocence of a child. Beautiful
Chi Moon: This brought a year to ky eyes. I love the love and friendship they share. When we see with our hearts as these boys did, you don't see differences only pranks and laughter and true humanity. I love them, their parents and finally something proud and worth watching the news showed. ❤️
Lady Antoinette: There’s no color in friendship ❤️
Javier Farje: This is just remarkable. Those kids could teach adults a lesson or two on dignity, friendship and racial equality.
bunny fufu: Ojalá y todos los adultos pensaramos así.
GoldenEra 4ever: The absolute innocence of these "color blind" kids brings tears to my eyes, especially in a time that people have become more and more emboldened (I wonder why) to show their hate and racism. Racism is taught and hate is fueled by people's words and actions. People have to do better and they could learn from these two. I hope they are still best buds 5 years later.
dew12u: I'm a 60 year old man and I'm crying like a baby. - Beautiful story!
Gil: Absolutely beautiful! This warmed up my heart with joy. It reminded me of Rodney King’s words when he said “Can’t we all get Along”. This is a perfect example of those words. Is we as adult see ourselves through these children’s eyes, this whole planet would be a better world for us, and our children.
Jarred Dunn: Ive been a barber for 26 years and have come across similar circumstances a few times. God bless these boys and the lady that gave them their cuts. Melts my heart
BrowneyedGirlmjd: With all the insanity right now I needed to come back and be reminded that there is still pure and sweet innocence in the world. The world can learn a lot from these two sweet little boys about what it means to love your fellow man.
Debra Ragoonanan: This is the image I want to see everyday I wake up, it takes kids to teach adults,
Kira Light: Racism is 2000% taught. There is no such gene for bigotry in human beings.
Debrah M: I love this! I never taught my kids "color!" I did, however, teach them "character!" Some of the most genuine people I know don't look like me...
Kristin Jones: If ONLY the world could see through these babies eyes this is so heartfelt! We ALL could learn something from these kiddos xo
Shirley Williams: I love these two little guys. My question is this, if children can love unconditional, why can't us grown folks? No matter the color, everybody needs love. Our time on this earth is short, so why can't we all love and not hate?
GothKing: The fact that this video is such a huge deal to people is just sad. A friendship like this is apparently so rare in this world, it has people amazed. That's not how it should be. People should be used to seeing this everyday, but unfortunately, the world is full of hate
pinky princess: I hope their friendship will last forever i love this story
Carla Merrell: Love experiencing kids being kids. They teach us all so much. Their hearts are so pure.

Miss T Valentine: That was the sweetest video I think I've ever seen! If only adults could see the world through the eyes of a child sometimes!
Dee mac: Lovely, adorable, touching. Reminds me of my son and best friend. His buddy lived with us more than home.
Lorettamemphis: Ok, they tricked me. I can't tell the difference. All I see is two little angels loving each other.
Winifred Ogilvie: Children see nothing but LOVE unless their taught different. PERIOD. ❤
Shay587: Children only look at the similarities they share with others, never the differences. And it's our duty as parents and adults to nurture and protect that quality when raising them.
monique l'amy: This bubble my heart, made me smile with a tear drop.
Carla Merrell: Keep showing us beautiful stories like this. These kids have so much to show the world. Real friendship sees the heart. May their teacher have some incredible wisdom come out of her mouth when those two precious souls “prank” her. Kudos to all the parents of these boys!!

lil psychedelic: Their little boy laughs are so pure no hate just love genuine love at that ❣️
𝒞𝒶𝓈𝑒𝓎 𝐻𝒶𝓇𝒹𝓎: I love this. It goes to show racism isn’t something that people are born with, it’s something people are taught. I remember something my old Sunday school teacher told our class when I was little, she said “We all have the same grandma and grandpa. Adam and Eve. So we are all family.” And I thought that was friggen beautiful.
SUPERSLICEONE: It's sad these two young men are showing us grownups how to behave. Absolutely great to see this.
TisEyerish1: I wish, I so wish, that everyone had the same vision that these great kids have!
Riana Darusman: LAUNDRY IS THE ONLY THING THAT SHOULD BE SEPARATED BY COLOR……..
Isa Simental: I wish grow adults would treat others with kindness and respect just like these two beautiful babies.
Haley.: I love boys expressing their mutual feelings toward each other’s. That’s so important !!
Popstarpurrp: There not ignoring the “obvious” there friends they don’t know cause they look at each other as equals
Malan Moody: Reminds me of a part of a song I've loved for years..."Tonight, I'm wishing on a star. That somehow the world will hear my heart. That reaching hands all feel the same. The difference just another way and kindness leads us to the place. Where soon we all as friends can stay." - Friendship's Field
Candace: So Sweet. This made me shed a few tears.
Kem Brown: This is hilarious! I just love it! This is beautiful and I hope one day this is how America is!
Jerlyn Parsells: If the rest of the world could look and learn from these beautiful boys, the world would be a better place for everyone? God bless them forever.
Maureen Gordon: Haha, this is so cute! If only we as adults could see the world this way.
Bibi Ayube: This is how we are born, innocent and full of love
The-416er: I’m glad to see a video like this was publicized, this proves that kids live what they learn, hatred, colour prejudice and racism are taught, weather directly or in directly, it will still have a very negative impact on the growth of society.
Mistanny Bell: These little guys will no doubt grow into amazing men. So cute they believe the teacher won't be able to tell them apart because they have the same haircut. The world needs more of this!

Laura Lee: This is innocent children , until adults get to them.
Katie Roller: We all could learn so much from these two!!
Funi: Hopefully this friendship is lifelong
sandra cunha: These two lololol You can almost see their "evil" plans when they're giggling! Soooo cute <3
