But on the other hand, the power of Love is so strong. Children need to be loved - unconditionally. And I beleive that this love should manefest itself in White parents going BEYOND even the extra mile to be sure that the child is in an environment where he can be TAUGHT.
What if a white family adopts a Black child, loves him and is sure that the child is immersed in his people as often as possible....would this help? Could the child learn how to be Black?
It's a catch 22. Either way it goes somebody could loose...so, I wish I'd never met her, at all. (Opps! Where IS Carl Thomas?)
