I have to comment because your post is right below mine.
(1) If you drag people here in chains and then enslave generations of them, then, at the very least, they deserve freedom, citizenship, and the right to vote.
(2) The “40 acres” was offered... and then taken away.
(3) As for “free education, subsidized housing, food benefits, medical care, and disability,” those things are open to people regardless of their race.
But, this story has nothing to do with any of that. Oher is a professional athlete who earns his own money. He was portrayed as a victim in a movie. Would you want to be portrayed that way in a movie? The Tuohys were portrayed as his saviors. That’s some leftist Hollywood garbage right there.
People here are saying he should’ve known he wasn’t adopted, but notice that Mrs. Tuohy refers to him as their “adopted son” on her website (see my post above yours). Now, they’re saying they didn’t mean “adopted” in the legal sense. Instead, he’s been in a conservatorship for years.
Maybe the Tuohys had his best interest at heart, but it doesn’t look good, and I can understand Oher’s point of view.
Oher is NOT Colin Kaepernick who really was adopted and raised by loving parents and then threw them under the bus.
they did not use the conservatorship to do anything but provide him familial benefit in the NCAA rules at the time. tutors, cars, food to assist him in the world, one broken ankle of spousal assault would have ended that career path and he did well despite his first 18 years.
