Why would anyone live in a country where he is hated? I don't get it. Even the most ignorant, primitive black slave knew enough to go to Canada if he/she could.<BR/><BR/>And, anyone who knows anything about kids can tell in a second by body language if a child is with a familiar person as opposed to a stranger.<BR/><BR/>This is a flashback to the 80's when the femis had a big campaign that hundreds of thousands of kids were stolen by strangers each year. They put pictures on milk cartons etc. The FBI kept saying, 300! 300! 300!<BR/><BR/>This is also more of the "any price to security" of the Great American Chicken. "It's okay to grossly violate the civil rights of millions of people each year, if it makes kids microscopically safer."<BR/><BR/>I know a lot of 'mulatto' kids. My best friend's step kids are mulatto, and this kid does not exactly look like a recent mixture. For his sake, I hope they never order DNA testing.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous age 65Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36201662.post-35676781428190928132007-06-29T15:52:00.000-04:002007-06-29T15:52:00.000-04:00John, I see your point but I don't agree with it. ...John, I see your point but I don't agree with it. There is no reason to "wait" for a similar report to come out as we all know that sexism exists at every level in society today, from personal to institutional. And that sexism is usually set up to discriminate against men.<BR/><BR/>Your point is also invalid that we should wait, because how can you wait for something that will never happen? Every day, thousands of women go to wal-mart and other stores with children of a different race, and none of them are accosted and asked to produce verification. <BR/><BR/>If something like this happens to a woman, that will prove that <B>it is racism, not sexism to blame.</B><BR/><BR/>But since nothing like that will happen to a woman, waiting for a report to prove sexism is searching for the wrong answer to the right question.<BR/><BR/>The absence of such reports proves sexism, not the presence of such reports.

But wait until a news item comes out which reveals that this happened, where the adult was a woman and the child was a different race from the adult. Wait until that news item comes out, then cry sexism. This news item has not illustrated the sexism (although in my gut, I believe the sexism exists). We cannot claim to the world that this news story illustrates such sexism; it does not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36201662.post-24148174352716976922007-06-29T13:01:00.000-04:002007-06-29T13:01:00.000-04:00While I see the point you are trying to make, what...While I see the point you are trying to make, what you need to digest is what Pete said in the original post:<BR/><BR/>"Just ask yourself - would they do the same thing to a (white) woman with a black child?"<BR/><BR/>And therin lies the sexism.Suckerfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248698752746930335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36201662.post-23904022476384131482007-06-29T12:35:00.000-04:002007-06-29T12:35:00.000-04:00What's the outrage here?

Not immoral, not criminal, just unusual. It's not every day that you see that. And if there's a chance that an abduction is happening (and they do happen), why not at least look into it? We can elevate tolerance above security, but at what cost? When we're too afraid to even investigate the possibility that a child could be abducted, when we don't even want to ask about it, I feel we're going down a dangerous road. If you care about fathers, imagine that there really was a child abduction, and how the real father would have felt.<BR/><BR/>Compare the tragedy of a parent losing their child, compared to a parent under temporary scrutiny. I don't see what is so terrible about subjecting someone to temporary scrutiny, especially when the racial difference between father and daughter is the reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36201662.post-64734276360053884032007-06-29T12:27:00.000-04:002007-06-29T12:27:00.000-04:00You're absolutely right.
