No, I'm sorry you are wrong. You need to no more about satire if you think satire is abuse.

My reading comprehension is just fine. You might want to go back and re-read your first comment. Or re-read the one you just sent because you are still saying that segregation is the answer. People should only live where there are a high enough percentage of people who look like them. If that doesn't sound like

So what you're saying is it is the family's fault that people say these things to them and that they should run away and hide from people? So would you say the same thing to every POC? That they should only live where there is more than 6% of them? Or are we getting back to the segregation part of your world?

So you don't think commenting in the way you have about this woman's parenting choices wasn't weirdly personal and rude? Wow, color me shocked. No, not really.

I know - made my jaw drop!

So you are claiming that there are no racists in New York City or Boston? Or that they just don't say these things to you? Or are you claiming the woman in this article is lying?

Because you said it. You said they needed to be around people who look like them. That sounds like you think they don't belong in a community with people who don't look like them. I didn't say it, you said it. You made it plain as day that people belong with like people. I would ask you if you have ever been to

Why is it some people insist they always know exactly what other parents should or shouldn't do. You don't know if these girls wanted to participate or not. You don't even know if this made the girls feel more empowered. You just think you are the perfect parent and know exactly what should be done every minute of

So you aren't saying people should be segregated by race because that is how your comment came off to me. You clearly said they should move to a place where there are people who look like them. Where is this magical place where everyone will look like them? Especially since Mom doesn't look like them. They will

I'm sorry but are you advocating segregation in our society?!? Are saying it is this woman's fault for not living in a place where her kids don't stand out? She should move to a community that has mostly peoples that "look like them"?

Why shouldn't it involve her young daughters - they are involved. This is the reality of their lives. The fact that you don't want to believe what she says - and her daughters confirm because the article says they wrote some of the signs from what they heard - says more about you than you'd probably like.

"Why should they- the ones who have had no say in their adoption, who have already faced traumas in their lives- be the ones to have to educate others?"

Actually even biological children can get that kind of remark. I've heard the "give them up for adoption line" and "turn them over to CPS" line. And yes, people suck in so many ways.

Tell that to the families of the people who were killed at the Who concert in Cincinnati.

I did not say no one could joke but if someone doesn't get the joke, calling them names and insulting their intelligence is not the right way to go. My first comment would have been a correct reaction if what I though the OP was actually saying was correct. Unless you think because celebrities have money means they

These kind of cluster fucks can also get people hurt and killed. If you watched the video to the end you would see that a couple of young women in the crowd were knocked down and trampled. The one girl even had blood on her face. So not only should people worry about a star/celebrity at this kind of thing but the

Oh so you were not being a smartass when you said "Thank heavens you're here to tell me what I think because without you, I wouldn't know. " And I don't see where I said I was victimized in any of this. I did point out the double standard that women, including leaders of countries, have to put up with that men do

Be a smartass all you want but since that is what I got from what you keep saying, maybe you aren't explaining yourself well.

And a guy also has the responsibility to NOT assume that every woman in the world is dressing for him, flirting with him, trying to please him or manipulating him. And if a woman is manipulating him, he needs to be smart enough not to fall for it. Just as a woman shouldn't be stupid enough to fall for some guy's

Agreed. I know I can't pull either look off but at least in the SpongeBob outfit someone might just think I'm being whimsical.
