[quote=Anonymous]I am a black (not AA) mom with a half-Jewish child and a Jewish DH.  Unless, you are willing to get out of your "introversion" and make the consistent effort to ensure your child is not racially isolated, you absolutely should not adopt a black child.  I have found Jews to be politically liberal, with as much racist ignorance as non-Jewish whites.  A child doesn't care that you pat your own back for voting democrat. A child cares that your community is known for calling black people "schwarzes," and people in your community don't invite black children to play dates, want black kids dating their daughter, or want too many black kids at their schools, camps, athletic events etc.

As a black mother, I am equipped to see and handle all of this.  You will need to do the work necessary to open your eyes to racism and its impact on your child.  It is clear from this thread that you can't be bothered and chalk your laziness up to "introversion." Please adopt someone who looks like you or is Asian, which your community prefers.[/quote]
