This should enrage your on an instinctual level. This should not be allowed and everyone knows it. Your gut instincts aren't wrong.

These kids have the privilege of being raised in a household with two parents that wanted them. That's the single biggest privilege in America that ANY kids can have but we all have to pretend it either doesn't exist or is limited to just certain racial groups when that's clearly not true

Enraged? Why?

Nothing was angering about the article. Good for them for adopting and raising some kids. 100% sure they are stark raving mad liberals but the article was benign and nothing about it was enraging or unnatural. I wish them the best. Parenting is the hardest and most rewarding thing humans can do.

They're good people and good parents, the kind that a child would be blessed to have.

So? Skin color isn't the most important or interesting thing about people. Can't complain about people being obsessed with it while obsessing about it.

The only thing about that article is he assumption they have some kind of privilege. Other than that, I don't see any kind of problem.

Seems OP's, "I'll post a, 'Gotcha!' with this sock and get those racists this time!" didn't work because surprise surprise he's just projecting .

Zero big deal here, IMO.

It's kinda virtue signaling, but who really cares. Good parents are good parents.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms … disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes… . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”

--Thomas Jefferson

How do you raise kids with love if you believe deep down they represent or are the offspring of an oppressive race/society?

I deal with privilege all the time. I get to see purchase orders directed to non white and women owned businesses literally daily on sled and fed contracts.

No, you're black parents with white children. You're a mixed race family. White-presenting?? Not okay IMO.

If the article was reversed there would be problems. Its not obsession to state the obvious.

Good for them. My sister and BIL adopted a black infant 14 years ago. In all I have three black nieces and 3 Asian-American nieces. I also have Hispanics in my family. They are all surrounded by love!

Racist liberals who view everything through race are the ones with issues. No one in my family gives a damn about race.

Looks like the OP is racist as well.

BTW, the parents have a youtube channel and the mom has said that black people have been way more harsh with them than any other race. Not sure why that was left out of the article.

Exactly! This was my take from the article. Great chance these parents and the extended family will look down on these kids as they grow into teenagers and eventually adults.

Agreed. The only eye-rolling comment was the one below

Quote:
My kids are being raised in Black culture. Their parents and grandparents are Black. Yet they'll move through life with white privilege. They'll never know the fear of being a Black person pulled over by police. My hope is that they will use their privilege to protect other Black people.

It's nonsense, but the rest of the article and the situation is no big deal. People wanted kids, couldn't have them, so they adopted and did embryo transfer. The only ones available were white. Big deal.

So many in this thread are showing why our civilization is crumbling. "What's the problem?" Do you think your grandparents would have to think about the answer to that question??

No. The opposite wouldn't even be newsworthy. It is even stated in this article that most mixed-race adoptive families are white parents adopting black kids. It's almost cliche'. No problem.

You are either a troll, or an unapologetic racist.

People are people. Skin color is no more important or defining than hair color.

Good, kind, generous people adopting children is a good thing. Skin color is irrelevant.

To assert that "our civilization is crumbling" because of mixed race families is ignorant and racist.

There is much we can learn from considering what our grandparents would have done. Race relations, however, are probably not in the list of things we should emulate from many of our grandparents.

My wife and I adopted our youngest three through the foster care system. Two of ours look Hispanic though we know nothing of their actual ethnicity. Is civilization collapsing because of us too, or is it just when black people adopt white kids?

I'm sure that we wouldn't agree on some things, but they sound like they are closer to my values than some "conservatives" I know. Those are some lucky kids

Be outraged about abortion

Adoption has many faults but it's wonderful to be loved. I speak having 2 adopted kids.

The babies will love and those parents will love them. Yeah, I'm sure they are liberal. So are many parents

What exactly should not be allowed? Black people adopting white babies? Or any race adopting a different race?
