...we all need to be nurtured and loved to be productive, functioning adults in society, no matter what race box you check.

BUT

people also need to feel they can identify with THEMSELVES & their respective cultures in order to be healthy and functioning .

So to me, I think you have to weigh the pro's and con's and choose the lesser "evil". In an ideal world children would be placed with a family that matches their racial make-up. But it's not the ideal world, and Grump brought up the fact (that is true in almost all states I think) that there are simply not enough black families who are able to adopt all these kids.

So it'd be ridiculous to leave the children in the system because "white" parents may not be able to raise "black" kids in their culture. I think POSSIBLE loss of cultural identification is a lot less damaging than growing up without a family or love.
