| There's a great picture of the Romney family grandchildren at the link. Why, they're almost as white as the MSNBC prime time lineup! But seriously, there's been a raging debate the last half-century amongst sociologists, child welfare specialists and other educated, professional nosey-parkers about whether it's proper to allow white families to adopt other-race or mixed-race children. There are those who claim that doing so amounts to "cultural genocide" in that it denies the child the opportunity to grow up "with his/her own kind", and thus be culturally unarmed for all the struggles, etc. To which my response has been, given what happens to these children if they're NOT adopted -- to grow up in a succession of foster homes, state homes, or no homes at all -- to ask, "what kind of genocide do you call that?" To which the "social" workers who held these beliefs respond that "no home" is better than a home of the "wrong" race. Full disclosure: I'm a proud adoptive parent. |
| It should be noted that our beloved lame duck president is a black man reared in a white home, and look how he turned out -- nary an arrest nor a conviction in his history. |
