When I moved back to KC to take care of my mom, we lived in the apartments, Villa Medici, right down the street from her. I know exactly where she lives - had some friends from high school that lived on her street.
Children can’t help what race they are. That’s why it’s immoral to discriminate on the basis of race. Henderson sounds like she has an extremely low IQ.
“It’s basically one idiot out of an entire city saying this nonsense. Not quite sure why they gave her a voice.”
Totally agree. Out of thousands of responses the “journalist” went trolling for one offensive one to write his outraged article about? How hard a job is that? I think I could write a better article off the one worst comment in any comments section in any major online news service on any day of the week.
The fact that people so quickly embrace this article is a testament to the very sinful joy people feel when they find someone who really deserves a good helping of hate. I see it all the time on my Democrat friends’ Facebook feeds, when suddenly they are thrilled to find that one idiot Republican voter from a State they’ve never been to who says something racist so they can say “If you ever needed proof that Republicans are racist, you need look no further than...”
Articles like this prove nothing more than that there is at least one crazy person in America. 1,000 of these articles only prove that there are at least 1,000 crazy people in America.
You’d need about 30 million of these articles to make any kind of sensible statistical comment on the state of American politics or culture today.
"Birds Of A Feather Flock Together"
(It's nature, it's like this everywhere, always has been.)
There was a time when my neighbors needed somebody to watch their granddaughter for a day, so we (actually the Mrs. and our two teen girls) took her around with them in her baby seat. Little cutie-pie, all eyes and hands, just looking at everything so seriously, and stealing hearts everywhere they took her.
We only did it the one time, because when her father found out that his parents had allowed his baby girl had been in the care of white people (yes, we live in a pepper-and-salt neighborhood), he declared in no uncertain language that it was not to happen again.
She's grown up now, had several kids of her own by various baby-daddies.
(yes; I know there are plenty of racist whites too)
Noted that you felt it needful to include that parenthetical disclaimer. For my part, I would point out that in the current culture, whites are racist by definition. The same definition exempts all others from the charge.
I've not seen statistics on the subject, but I gather from incidental conversations and reading over the years that white people do most of the adopting in this country, including virtually all the transracial adoptions. The issue should be, why are people of other races so much less likely to adopt?
The Newark Star-Ledger, which had been the main newspaper for the state years ago, used to run a section regularly featuring children that needed foster homes. Most of them were black, many were troubled, and there seemed to be no rush of blacks to take them in.
In the years since, we’ve had stories where blacks took them in (multiple children simultaneously), then neglected them while p!ssing away the money that came with them.
Sad situation; if people can’t see past race to provide these kids with homes, then those kids are doomed.
Exactly
