   The article I'm reading is entitled "Purple Boots, Silver Stars ... and White Parents" this article was inference to white couples adopting African- American children and personal experiences . when reading this newspaper article  it talks about a couple and their African-American adopted daughter lnamed Rosa and things they worry about . This article tells in details about Rosa, and how she had gone with an older black friend to Fulton Mall, a crowded commercial area in our Brooklyn neighborhood, where the shoppers are mostly black. Fulton Mall is not only about shopping, it’s also a place to flirt, talk, laugh and argue, and to listen in passing to gospel, soul, hip-hop and R & B music". As white parents they never experience African-African music nor heritage so they are having a tuff time raising a African American daughter who wants to know her history and they can't help her because they grew up as white people living in a white society not worrying about racism .
 while reading  this it made me think ,I'm not racist but personally It would be hard to raise a child from another background or ethnicity . As an African-American you never experienced what it would be like as an white person and vice versa. How can white parents tell their African American son or daughter why they can't get a job due to their race .As a white person your living in a world with doors being open to you due to your color.
Would you adopt a child from another race ?

  1. I would adopt a kid from another race because this will make the kid open to all races because even their parents are from a different race so they will accept anyone.
