They are getting along...they just are not in agreement on the purity of National Geographics intentions and motives. You can get along with someone or group of people and still hold a different perspective on a particular issue. As long as it does not descend into violence or the plotting of harm or misfortune for the person or group with a different perspective and opinion. Our failure to meet this basic standard is why there is so much drama and suffering in the world.

You must be confused. Where did the idea of devils come from and who said anything against or for birds. You obviously have preconceived notions about my mindset. So lets clear things up. 1 I am not a supremacist 2 Ezkeel assists the whole gamut of the human family. Love does not discriminate. we understand the power of the force in the universe called love and that is why we are successful. (nat geo on the other hand sends subliminal messages of racism in their work)

color actually permeates throughout the whole physical body. Being white is a mentality so it also touches on the mental and spiritual aspects of existence as well. it is a sad story. One day we will transcend it all though:)(slavery, colonization, racism, classism, all the isms and skisms created by the Euros as well as the other destructive feats "accomplished" by them). I said something against the MAGAZINE not the person.You must have guilt.? (like i sad, sad but we will transcend)

I hope I never meet you. How can say anything against this person, black or white or whatever. Color is only skin deep.

I admit it the British aid worker did have a hand in saving this man. Nat Geo is still a racist bigot magazine and used the story to give Europeans a godlike quality like they do in all there work though. y'all want to talk about me being a racist, at least I am open with mine unlike Nat geo's cowardly subliminal attitude. Also I was talking bad about Nat Geo not the Brit. No I never listened to his songs. I like white people but i still discriminate based on race. I am a proud racist.

It is apparent that you have never listened to Emmanuel's song "Emma", the name of the british aid worker who ADOPTED him and smuggled him to Kenya. the chorus is "what would I be if Emma never rescued me"

I'm a little confused as to how mentioning that a british person from an international aid organization brought a child from a Sudanese warzone to kenya when they were starving to death is racist. Just because they used the word "saved"? "Saved" doesn't have to mean something religious, it just means to bring something into a better situation than it was before. Moreover I don't think National Geographic has a policy of mentioning the Most High in its articles... it's not a religious magazine.
