And even if not adopted...still a child.

Thanks for articulating my thoughts.

I don't think she is assuming that. But not everyone is going to be able to relate to what the actress said. Her statement doesn't reflect the narrative of low income woman at all, and by extension, is representative of women in a higher socioeconomic demographic that tends to not be racially or ethnically diverse.…

When we were founded as a Christian nation.

Samuel L. Jackson??!! Is that you??

She may have mental health issues that will now continue to be ignored. Even the Durham area police allude to this by saying she may believe she was raped. She very well could have been. But it's curious that no one is questioning how a traumatic event could be affecting this woman's choices. There is a lack of…

Agreed. And I have yet to see them really take on these same issues that involve people of color, at least highlighted in the media. I could be wrong.

This is some epidemic. I mean, unless they live under a rock, and their complete morons, they should know this will hit the interwebs and they will...catch fire.

As a city person who lives in a resource challenged part of Chicago, public transportation is inaccessible, unreliable, and soul sucking. I spend no less than one hour, and spent upwards of 2.5 hours on public transportation. No thanks. Driving cuts that to 40 minutes.

Well, you don't have to listen. Plenty of people have and continue to ignore the issues around lack of inclusion by WOC/POCs. So just do that. But WOC/POCs have an interest in knowing how they'll be treated if they choose to live in environments outside the US. Maybe that's not an issue for you, good for you to not…

Maybe they should hire two, then. That way, one can be sassy, maybe overweight. And the other can have attitude! The black woman spectrum. (very sarcasm)

Nothing wrong with trying to bring it back to the article and why people clicked, and decided to comment, either.

I don't think society is any more of a "shitshow of selfish assholes" than 50 years ago. It's just that now there's the internet. Easy enough to turn off, though. I think it says more about the kind of society we are creating for kids. I mean, they didn't create the internet or the platforms for their expression. And…

I'm saying that this has happened enough to become a warning for people who are concerned about context. I'm saying there really is no way to wear a nazi uniform to a party and have it be understood any other way that offensive. I'm saying if you care enough to not be a racist, these parties do not happen. There is a…

In this day and age, there is no excuse for ignorance. There's Google. And I shouldn't have to hold anyone's hand who is interested in not being a racist to educate themselves. Why is it up to the offended to defend their offense, with proof, and evidence, that's not the trans-atlantic slave trade (cause that's out of…

No, I think we get the message of these pictures very clearly. The problem with your comment is that there is certainly enough historical information out there that any non-racist would be weary of repeating so as to not repeat. So, that pretty much wipes away the context part. Plus, in 2013, I don't have to give…

Yeah, no White person has ever referred to a group of people of color as animals. That's just crazy...

Yeah, see, gone are those days and we don't have to treat ignorance with smiles and giggles anymore. There's nothing useful in that. And in the years since President Obama's victory, I have learned that people do not want to have a discussion or be engaged when it comes to their racism. A person who was informed (or…

Why is it her job to bring their horrible employee to their attention?

I'd agree. I think his mom's death did a number on him.
