[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reaction shouldn't be blaming. It should be, how horrific. [/quote]

Black women get PPD too, you know. [/quote]

I’m quite aware. I’m also aware that Black women do not get the benefit of compassion and sympathy and forgiveness in similar situations.[/quote]
I mean, I'm trying to even think of a comparable case. I don't think I would respond any differently.[/quote]

No here. But you likely would because your opinion is most likely influenced by media and the media would be less sympathetic towards a black woman in the same scenario. And that's assuming the story even made headlines to Garner sympathy and the mother wasn't just carted off to jail.

For comparison I can think of a black mother from Massachusetts as well who killed her children and the telling of the story was not sympathetic. Nor were the photos used of her.

Are you referring to the Latarsha Sanders case in Mass? Different scenarios, not even close. [/quote]
