Returned her? RETURNED her?!? It's a human being, not a fucking toaster for chrissakes.

Why put the child through such trauma. Who benefits in such a case. Where is social justice, Why adopt a child I the first place if you intend frustrating and humiliating the child and put them through This?

Did you read it?

I'm reading this story, and my "coon senses" are tingling as I read "Decades later, the journeys of the two women tell a nuanced story of race in America, one that complicates easy assumptions about white privilege and black hardship." I'll see how this ends...
-
A few paragraphs down, he's now calling racists "vandals."

-
He's now laying the foundation as to why you can't really fault these good white folks for sending back their black adoption child because the white lady wrote about how hard it was everyday.
-
I felt like the author tried to invalidate systematic oppression and white privilege through the experience of these two women when their experience dont exactly represent the experience of the community they are representing.
-
That's exactly what he was doing.
-
I felt uneasy reading through the article because it was clearly written in a white-person lens. Why do they always want to paint themselves as heroes?pic.twitter.com/9CwBGwZrO8

Although it does sound like a white person wrote it, it was written by a black person. That's why I said my "coon senses" were tingling. (A coon is a black person kinda like Steven from Jango Unchained, fyi.)
-
Oh i'm sorry. Thank you for that!!!

This is a difficult story to understand if you didn’t live through those pre-civil rights days. The couple feared for the safety of the child and rightly so. The decision to return her destroyed their marriage and gave them a lifetime of guilt and regret.
