I wouldn't be outraged if he was tried as a juvenile. I am outraged every time a young offender is "upgraded" to adult, in fact. Every time.

It's not about whether 16 is an adult or not, it's an abuse of power. Full stop.
He's 16. What would have happened if that "child" had committed a violent crime? There's be outrage if we didn't try him as an adult. But when sex is involved, we're suddenly all concerned about the "saftey of the children". Either a 16 year old is a child or they're an adult. They hypocracy of jumping back and…
That's why I said try.
It highlights something poignant: being a member of a minority has costs, like it literally costs more in money to live somewhere tolerant. Because tolerance is desirable, like leafy trees and good schools. It costs more to deal with the anxiety you face coming from a mixed race family- more in time spent with…
"Cramblett and Zinkon are planning on moving to a different, more diverse area to try and protect their daughter from intolerance and racism."
I commented with this on the first article, but as a biracial girl raised by a white mother, I feel for this family. It is no fun being raised by a woman you look nothing like. My mom did the best she could in our overly white town, but it sure as hell wasn't easy, and we heard some nasty words from all sorts. No…
There is zero wrong with what she is doing. I hope she shuts that whole place down with her lawsuit. What a gross amount of incompetence to screw up this badly. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with bad business.
I'm glad this post clarifies some peoples' concerns that her complaint with the sperm bank in any way indicated that she didn't love and cherish her daughter exactly how she is. I'm glad she's suing them because it's incredibly important that people be provided with accurate information when choosing a donor whose DNA…
Even though it seems like she really loves her daughter, she deserves a ton of money given the blatant malpractice.

For a more visual example of how things changed, using a pop culture quote:
You know, I allow for emotional distress here.
She's trying to make lemonade, and step 1 is squeezing some fucking lemons out of the fuckups who are responsible for this mess.
Why is it "gross" to sue over a mistake like this? It's absolutely about race, and it's absolutely okay.
Prospective parents choose sperm based on lots of criteria, not just race. General health, for example, being one of them. I don't know, I would hope that race itself is not the reason she's upset. If I had chosen a sperm donor for their high IQ, motivated character, and, say, lack of predisposition to certain…
Look, I get why she's upset. I would be, too, if I thought I was getting something (that I paid handsomely for) and ended up getting something else. But there's no return policy on a baby, so you have to suck it up and make the most of it. You live in Podunk, Ohio and there aren't any other black people around and you…
It's blatant medical malpractice because the company switched up the sperm vials. Do you really not want the company held accountable because they fucked up at their job?
Right. Because every rape victim ever has always been immediately aware of the severity of what took place and never tries to excuse, rationalize or blame themselves for what happen. No rape victim has ever remained silent because they feared shame, reprisal or further abuse for making "a big deal" out of having been…
