A Double standard between WHTs & BLKs?

Additional Details
Why is it a huge deal & a shared view that if a black couple adopts a white child then they must not like themselves and they are considered a sell out?
When white people do it, people think that they must be really kind hearted, open minded people.
In other words, it a great thing if whites do it... But if a black couple adopts a white child, society doesn't like it.
Also... What do you think about a person of color taking any race other than their own?

Can you teach an Asian child about being Asian?
Living in it's skin?
No
Many blacks aren't happy that white people adopt black children, but we are satisfided with the child having a home.
As for blacks adopting white children there are very
many black and bi-racial children that need homes
to.
I think the same race child should go to their own
race first. |

No matter the racial combination of parents/children, there are unique challenges to transracial adoption. These challenges are not insurmountable, but they do need to be recognized, acknowledged and addressed.
As long as the adoptive parents are willing and able to do this, I have no problem with transracial adoption at all, regardless of the race of the adoptive parents and children. |

I really don't think that's true. I've never heard of anyone thinking that a black person adopting a white child means they "don't like their kind", I don't know where you're getting that from? I personally don't care what race a child is and what race the people who adopt them are... every child needs a home. Race shouldn't matter. |

I really don't like to see any interracial adoptions, because it can cause confusion and resentment in the child later in life. how can the child learn to love themselves and their culture if they're being raised by a different race who can't appreciate their given race. |

i would like to know where you are getting your info...I have a feeling this is all in your head. Anyone looking into adoption seriously would take any child that needs a home no matter the color. If race is an issue than that is on their conscience not societies.....

The problem with society is that there's still too many uninformed people with old-fashioned biases.
Most well-educated, informed people wouldn't have anything to say about a black couple adopting a white child. Its a wonderful thing for any orphan to find a home, so why should color matter as long as there's love?
Thanks to the internet and population growth, these people are a dying breed. More children are growing up with friends of different cultures and races and those old bigots are fading fast.
So while there still are those idiots that will have something to say about adopting a baby of a different race, its not worth paying them any mind because THEY are the minority.... |
