Re: Rachel Dolezal nearly homeless, can't get hired (former NAACP leader exposed as white)

I'm not ignoring that point. We can start with the issue that there are many more black kids available for adoption than white kids.

Yes, I know there are many other issues. If white kids for adoption and black kids for adoption were equally available, we would have a lot of questions that could come up.

Would black families want to adopt white kids?
Would black families adopting white kids anger some white people?
Would black families adopting white kids anger some black people?
How would white children growing up in a black society be treated, by either blacks or whites?
If black and white children are "equally available" will black adoptable children be more bypassed than they are now?

Of course, we have places now where this social issue is real today, though not in terms of adoption. In the neck of the woods where I work (Centereach, Farmingville, Selden, Medford) walk into many stores, especially a Wal-Mart (large sample size) and you will see not a few women shopping with mixed race children, and sometimes mixed-race and apparently white children. They live in neighborhoods where this is not uncommon and I don't know whether there are social problems because of this or not, at least not the kind that reach the papers.
