If You’re Tired Of All The Recent Negative News, These 46 Wholesome Pics Will Restore Your Faith In America
Former United States President John F. Kennedy once said, “Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one's own beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others.” Since the election the majority of U.S citizens feel that race relations have gotten worse. These poor race relations coincide with a record high in political divides, reaffirming the popular phrase that the U.S is now a nation divided.
It can all seem overwhelming at times, so stop and take a minute. Take a break from the bad news on your social media feeds, the political pundits, and hateful rhetoric. Bored Panda wants you to remember all the good things that still happen day to day and that we can all do a small part in bringing more tolerance. We have gathered a list of stories that show random acts of kindness people have shown to their fellow citizens, and we hope it will restore some faith you have in humanity. Scroll down below and don't forget to vote for your favorites!

She Took Me In 15 Years Ago And No One Makes Me As Happy. We Had The Best Xmas. I Love My Grandma So Much
I grew up in a kids home (orphanage) after losing my parents. She was my key worker there as well as my carer. When I was too old to live there and had to move out.
She was retiring at the time after 40 years as a carer and said that she couldn't stand to lose me, which kinda works out great because I love her and I couldn't stand to lose her either.

"Dear Jack,
You had saved $20 in your piggybank for an Apple iPad. But then a local Islamic mosque was vandalized, so you donated your $20 to this local Texas mosque. Because of your amazing generosity & kind heart, please enjoy this Apple iPad with our sincere thanks :)
Love,
The American Muslim Community :)

Man In Red Needed Help With Son's Math Homework And Got It From A Stranger On The Subway
So today on my way from work the guy in the red sat down opened up his folder and started reading. A few stops later the guy next to him sat down and asked him what he's studying: "You look a little confused maybe I can help?". He says his son failed a math test: "They're learning fractions so I'm just teaching myself this over again so I can help him I'm 42 & don't know any of this so I'm re teaching myself." The guy in the black informed him he use to be a math teacher so he asked the guy to quiz him and everything he got wrong or was confused about he broke it down and corrected him. By the end of my train ride the guy in the red had a better understanding. He can bring home a new method and teach his child. I really love seeing things like this especially in New York.

So My Dads Tire Blew Up On The Freeway And This Dude, With A Confederate Flag Tattoo, Wearing A Confederate Flag T-Shirt, With Confederate Flag Car Stickers, Stopped And Changed Our Tire. My Mind Is Blown, Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover
Blue Cicada 6 years ago
Here in southern Ohio folks wear the Confederate flag in order to DECLARE that they are racist (and frequently profess other bigotries as well). They will say it's to show pride in their Southern heritage, then spew racist viewpoints, then reassert that said racism is part of their Southern heritage. The Confederate flag might have had non-racist usage in some instances in the past, but if you're seeing it north of the Mason-Dixon Line today, it's frequently used as a declaration of hatred.

These are wonderful heart wrenching stories. An example to all of how it could be if there was more humanity, less hatred and greed, and better understanding of each others needs. We are all on this planet together and not just in this pandemic together, and need to work together if we are to ultimately survive the unknowns ahead. We need each other. We must all get on and respect every person regardless of their nationality , colour or creed. We evolved from apes, developed intelligence and and must use it wisely and will only survive as a species if we act now to make our planet a better. For those with most of our financial resources I would say, spend it on making this world great instead of pretending we can live on other planets. This notion is idiotic to say the least.

There is enough oversaturation of bad news in the media to become a nihilist, so I understand your view point, and do believe it's justified to feel betrayed by the current political onslaught. However, the pictures, and what you stand for, "are also America". It is unhealthy for a critical mind to be exclusively be fed negative news about a country you live in 24/7. The U.S. has flaws and good stuff.

I have high levels of anxiety, special agoraphobia and have been going through a depression cycle. I have no words, just not enough words to express my gratitude for the boredpanda .com team and the posts herein. It doesnt change instantly my heart, the mental confusion and emotional rollercoster dont just disappear, but for someone like my that oscilattes between panick attacks, uncontrolable emotional pain and occasional mental mess (to the point of not risking leaving the house for fear of forgetting to look sideways for cars or cooking for fear of forgetting the stove is on- trust me the struggle is real), your posts make me cry. This post made me cry- of joy; i havent been capable of crying even for sadness in a long while. The catharsis, the release that comes with crying is underestimated. THANK YOU with all my heart for bringing a bit of sunshine to my day. God bless you for this.

It's a shame our biased media who would rather report things that divide us refuse to report on stories like these!

I'm all choked up and teary eyed now. Why can't everyone be like this??

More of this please!! We're so divided right now, we need more reminders that it doesn't have to (and should not) be that way.

These have actually made me cry. In the soul crushing 24hr news cycle of incessant tRump I needed to be reminded that there are normal people out there doing decent things for other people everyday. Thanks BP.

Nothing unique for North- or South America, or Asia, Europe, Australia or Africa. It's called being human, what a tragedy if it was something unique!

You people are very good at turning on the water works and making my mascara run.

These were all just so sweet, and very sad in a way. Wish we could see more of this in the news and less of the crazy and hateful. I wonder how much of it would stop if there was no notice taken of it? Although exposing the crazy and hateful for what it is can make a difference at times, too.

Um, i know that i'll be killed, but... has anybody noticed that all of this are just featured black and white people? I believe that solidarity should be global. Does black people support Asians and Mexicans too, or they only go for the whites? Sorry, but it feels a bit hypocritical. Black and white are not the only ethnicity that exist.

After this week of children being torn from parents arms and a walking cheeto claiming humanitarian victory by putting the entire family of asylum speakers in jail indefinitely I NEEDED THIS. WE ARE BETTER THAN OUR LEADERSHIP. I needed this post more than I can explain

How humanity is supposed to be......wonderful examples that we need to see more often to inspire those who feel humanity is hopeless.

Makes you easily forget, that DT is the current president. "You are no longer required."

Missing: the pictures of young children being ripped from their mother's arms. I'm sorry, but while these pictures are heartwarming, and remind us that there are decent people all over the world, this is not America.

There is enough oversaturation of bad news in the media to become a nihilist, so I understand your view point, and do believe it's justified to feel betrayed by the current political onslaught. However, the pictures, and what you stand for, "are also America". It is unhealthy for a critical mind to be exclusively be fed negative news about a country you live in 24/7. The U.S. has flaws and good stuff.

America is the word used for the United States. We're the only country with the word "America" in our name, and our citizens go by the denonym "American".
