The Stigma around AA parents adopting a white baby

[Anonymous]

If I hated white children, I would adopt one and purposely fill them with self hate. I have no urge to do that.

I'm not the poster who said that all white babies are ugly either. I can see that there are many white children who are perfectly lovable. But there's a difference in the love you feel for someone else's child, and the love you have for your own.

I could never love a white child as my own. That doesn't make me a monster, that just means that I recognize my limitations.

Noone has ever suggested that to me, but I do suggest you fly home if you can't handle the reality of living in this country. The situation between black and white people has been going on for centuries long before you or your parents volunteered to come over here. You or your family chose to come here, no one asked you too. And since you're first generation you shouldn't have too much problem going back.

Well, let me suggest it to you. I handle myself quite well in this country and have nothing to complain about, because I don't tend to blame my shortcomings on history long gone. This is the most tolerant society in the world. Perhaps, if you traveled, you'd have more perspective. Keep on hatin', and I'll keep enjoying my privileged life

This is why African immigrants continue to do much better than African Americans. African Americans have too much baggage and always blame their shortcomings on slavery. It's pathetic. Black Africans come over, stick together, acquire jobs, develop skills and better their families- all without the chip on their shoulder. AAs should try to learn from them vs. hating them!

Ha ha ha! I'm one of the posters who wouldn't adopt a white child. I am an African immigrant. That's probably why my biracial child looks completely Black.

I'm more tolerant than most of my family. They're traditional, and would never consider marrying a white person.

Oops! Pap was trying to use the Willie Lynch model of keep them divided. Oops.

not true. did you just wake up from the 60s?

I think even in the 60 black+white children were called mulattoes.

I am going to lock this thread and see if I can clean it up a bit. I may reopen it, or I may not.

Also, Asian Sociologist, you may need to rethink your participation in this website if you cannot get yourself under control.

Update. I'm not going to unlock this thread. It is really not working with our anonymous format. Nobody knows to whom they are replying and it is a chaotic mess. I do appreciate the absurdity of attempts of identification along the lines of "I'm the black mother who wouldn't adopt a white baby but doesn't think white kids are ugly" but I'm not sure others share that appreciation. That poster is easily confused with the "black mother who wouldn't adopt a white baby and does think white kids are ugly". I believe one of those two is a psychologist who, contrary to all logic, has been confused with the Asian sociologist who loves babies of all colors, but appears to hate adults (especially black women who wouldn't adopt white babies regardless of the views of such women regarding the beauty of white babies).
