[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the kind of podcast that repels conservatives and I can see why. As a moderate democrat it drives me crazy how media tries so desperately to blame "systems" and "circumstances" while letting Relisha's family off the hook. It's crap. [/quote]

Don’t believe you’re not a conservative[/quote]

I’m a moderate dem and I also felt the same.  The narrative was quite contradictory on the one hand blamed institutions for automatically treating black mothers as unfit but on the other hand she says the institutions failed to protect relisha from her mother, essentially.  I don’t see how you can have it both ways. Also she said a felon shouldn’t have been allowed to work at the shelter but also that felons shouldn’t be excluded from jobs??!  Apparently the real culprit is somehow the eviction process so i guess if her mom had met a predator somewhere else this wouldn’t have happened?  I don’t buy that.

It was just a messy, disappointing npr-backed piece of sloppy meanderings that I regret helping fund through my npr donations and does nothing for future relishas of our world.  I expect better of npr.  Relisha deserved better too.
