Should White Children be adopted By Black parents? Part 2
I believe that a child needs a loving, permanent home where he or she
can be nurtured and guided to a responsible adult life. I have never seen
any evidence that suggests that any particular racial or ethnic group has
a corner on those qualities that make for a good, loving parent.
That said, when conditions warranted foster care or adoption, I have
always endeavored to keep children within their own family and/or
neighborhood culture. Foster care & adoption, evan in the bset of
circumstances, is a traumatic, disruptive event; the more we can do to minimize the trauma, the better the child's chances for a bright future.
Now there are some high profile people like Angelina Jolie & Sandra Bullock
who has adopted a black child & they are doing fine!

Yes. I think that Black parents will not have the same problems if it were the other way around. Because of the racism that dominates the culture between the races, Blacks had to know his enemy and how to live so as not to become a victim and still become successful citizens in a difficult country. Therefore, I believe that Black people are better equipted to teach white children about who they are and how to live in the society. I don't mean to teach them about racism but to teach them that skin color doesn't really matter and give a softer approach to the complications he will encounter coming from a multicultural and multiracial background without trying to make him "Black". Black parents are not afraid or in denial about life and are not tainted by white privilege, therefore the truth about the world he will inherit will produce a citizen to carry the torch and pass the mantle.
Every child deserves to be loved and cared for. They do not know whether the armes that gives him/her comfort are black or white. He/She does not know whether the lips that kisses him /her goodnight are on a black face or on a white face. All they know is those arms and those lips makes him/her feel safe and loved.
