As a feminist I am ashamed of and offended by my nation.

The piggishness of white men!

Well, thank you for insulting my sex and my race based on a couple of pigs. Because our prisons are filled with mostly black men, does that give me the right to say "The piggishness of black men!"?

Getting back on topic, that is quite horrible but preventable by laws that prosecute offenders and defeat gun control, as well as education for the Native American women about how to defend themselves and what to do.

Point taken, Shooter.

Not all men.

Not all white men.

More to raise the issue of the powerlessness of women of color.

Just read the blog.

Hold on just a second simone, you need a lot more info than this little paragraph before condemning our entire Nation and all white men. These reservations have Tribal Governments and Police forces which are beholding to no white authorities at all. So why is it Washington's fault if the local authorities who are on the scene aren't enforcing the existing laws that are designed to protect all citizens, including their own women? It seems a bit presumptuous to blame the Government if a few scumbags are traveling in search of specific victims.

But I'd like to see some evidence that white rapists are traveling cross country and planning rape vacations in order to get them some indian meat. Nothing you posted proves that's the case at all. This is more likely local boys who get drunk and decide to go start trouble at the local reservation that's 20 miles outside of their South Dakota town, or some such foolishness. Please prove your case before you slander all white men.

Read the post on Daily Kos, Archie.

Simone,
Remember that you are responding to the poster who, on the abortion forum, told us just how many folks are waiting to adopt a baby of their own race.

God forbid that people out there would actually dare to admit they desire a baby of their own race in this day and age. How far have we fallen to admit such a thing?

Why does it matter?

When we adopted, we wanted a baby of the HUMAN race, as we were not up to raising a child of another species.

What other race really matters in the Family of Man?

After all, weren't we all "created in the image..."?

As did my sister who adopted an amazingly beautiful amerasian baby girl who is now in her final year at American University in DC.

Again, you just prove how your desire to be politically correct blinds you to the realities of being human. This isn't a white thing I'm referring to, nor is it racist in any way. All Black couples would want a child of their own race if allowed their preference. And all Asian couples would desire an asian child if allowed the choice. If you were to survey any and EVERY single potential adoptive couple and ask them their very first racial preference of the baby they receive if allowed to choose, they will invariably all choose a child of their own race. Does that make all adoptive parents racist cap0? Or does it simply make them human.

And of course YOU have done the surveys yourself and can post the results here, right, sweetie?

Put up or...

Fish or...

Poopoo or...

I'll bet you can finish the sayings.

I don't think my grandparents had any objections to my uncle's asian heritage when they adopted him. And don't try giving me "well maybe they didn't have a choice" because they had 4 kids already and had another subsequently.

Are you people too thick to comprehend anything I say? Nobody in my family objected to my sister asian child that she adopted either Jo. But that isn't what I was speaking to, was it. I said that, IF GIVEN THE OPTION TO CHOOSE, AND RECEIVE THE BABY OF THEIR OWN RACE, THAT MOST ALL COUPLES WOULD CHOOSE BABIES OF THEIR OWN RACE FIRST. It's a completely normal cultural and human emotion to prefer that ones children are a reflection of themselves, that isn't a racist attitude at all, but is only human. And if you argue the truth in that statement, then you're lying to yourself.

What about David Bellamy, who deliberately chose to adopt children from a variety of ethnic background?

I also note that you are switching from saying all couples to most couples, now examples have been given where the opposite is true.

It is not that anyone here is too thick to understand what you are saying, it's just that you are demonstrably and palbably WRONG.

OK, so a baby is not a human baby and worthy of survival unless it's the right race and gender and ethnicity?
