PP acknowledges that Sanger held some horrific beliefs. Her beliefs have nothing to do with the services they provide now. Unfortunately many things were founded by people who held shitty beliefs.

Yeah. I agree with that. Understanding part of the history of PP and how racism intersects there, too, is valid. But, it’s also important to recognise how the organisation has progressed away from those ideologies, too.

McDonald’s is Eugenics? Public school are eugenics? Words do not have a meaning anymore, I’d like fish in my coffee, hat!

They arent and he is a delusional monster. Wtf is this asshole trying to prove by saying hes 62? That hes a grown ass man who made the decision to murder a boy in cold blood? Fuck this guy into eternity and back again.

shoot first, ask questions never.

Like, your response will never be perfect. Just continue to show willingness to keep talking. Keep the dialogue going. That’s what matters here.

Yeah, but doesn’t that apply to so many other things? Like poverty, disease, rape, tragedy. You don’t get it until it happens to you. That’s how humans learn. You don’t realize how devastating a cancer can be until it happens to someone in your family. Suddenly you want everyone to know the importance of early…

Very well said. People need to tone down the extreme liberalism where they look for things to be offended at where there is none. Even the most well meaning people can’t win sometimes.

Yup. I’m so over it. The cynicism and the easily offended crowd are fucking exhausting at this point. You can’t say anything anymore. Everything celebrities do and say is potentially problematic even when they don’t have bad intentions. What is a celebrity to do, if not be a voice for thousands of people in their same…

I get that in general, I’m just not sure the criticism is warranted against Davis. They’re extrapolating from one quote how she feels about her entire experience... I don’t think that’s possible.

My particular favorite is that if Davis held out for or expressed a preference for adopting a white child, she would have also been raked over the coals for not being universal enough to see past her alleged white supremacy to adopt a non white child. So, she’s evil for adopting a black child without being woke…

Yeah, that just seemed to me like Kristin Davis is a really loving mom and her daughter’s going to grow up knowing she’s valued and important.

What she said was great. This is just another example of how liberal/PC/SJW crap goes to far. I believe in all those things, but this, this goes to far. Jezebel, you are part of the problem.

Yeah I feel like we have an unfairly high level of what is acceptable here. I can’t figure out what she did wrong, caring more because it’s your child is human nature.

It is needlessly harsh. There are lot of white parents who have children who are POC as a result of interracial relationships or adoption. And it makes sense that those parents are concerned for their child’s safety.

Right?? For a feminist site, the writers sure do like to take catty swipes at women.

Ugh thank you. This just struck me as so heartless. Don’t we have enough legitimately horrible people to be angry with?

Right? I’m curious as to what she should be doing here. Opted out of adopting a child if the child was black? Because...uh...holy shit. Not be afraid for her and realize that her white privilege doesn’t extend to her? Not try to remind her that she is beautiful and powerful in her own skin, despite living in a white…

I think I’m with you. I think Trump’s election should be the snark calibration we all needed.

No. Absolutely nothing
