Its not what you are thinking following along with other celebrities she became a new mom. Charlize Theron has adopted a child. She is the proud mom of a healthy baby boy named Jackson. According to a source close to the single Young Adult star, little Jackson was born in the United States, and is African-American.
Now that she wants to adopt a little black baby, let's see if she would like to adopt a black man in her life. :smt039
She never stated that she loves black men, let's get one thing clear. And secondly, she's from South Africa, and there's a history of racism even after the Apartheid. I actually made a topic about her when she was on Piers Morgan about wanting to get married. And, though she possess a very liberal oriented mind, there are still some doubts about her being open to dating interracially due to where she was from. Her parents advocated that everyone's equal and treat everyone equally, but how far does it go when it comes to her being able to open herself up to dating a black African or black person in general without having to bring up some residual elements adopted by many of the white Africans?
That's preposterous! Are you saying that black children are savages!? How are we any different from anyone else besides our physiological make-up? As long as the environment they are raised in are well-structures and beneficial, who cares who adopts who? Last I check, African is a nationality, and that race is a social construct.
She is South African and she adopted a baby from the US. The baby by reports is African American. Sigh. I will Google for you so you don't have to. Here is the first story that came up. http://www.bet.com/news/national/2012/03/15/commentary-a-black-baby-for-charlize-theron.html Another day, another celebrity adoption. Oscar-winning South African actress Charlize Theron has adopted a new baby boy named Jackson. But Theron’s adoption is a bit different from others you may have heard about. That’s because Theron adopted a Black baby. Not just that, she adopted a Black American baby. It may not sound all that remarkable to you, but it is. Studies show that African-American babies and male babies are the least likely children in American orphanages to be adopted. This from a 2010 piece in the New York Times: The probability that a non-African-American baby will attract the interest of an adoptive parent is at least seven times as high as the corresponding probability for an African-American baby. The desire for white babies can be partly, but not fully, explained by the fact that most of the adoptive parents in this data set were white; previous research has found that adoptive parents often want children who look similar to themselves. Exacerbating the racial debate around adoption is that when white parents do adopt Black children, they often do so in other countries. Madonna, for instance, adopted her son, David, from Malawi, while Angelina Jolie adopted her daughter, Zahara, from Ethiopia. Nobody is saying African orphans aren’t in need of loving homes, of course, but to some it seems a bit strange to go abroad to adopt when plenty of children are in need of good homes in America. Allison Darke, a Canadian woman who adopted a Black son named Ethan in 2005, told ABC News, “I just don't understand why American couples go to China and Romania and places like that when they have kids in their own backyards.” Darke was one of a growing number of foreigners who are coming to America to adopt African-American children. Thankfully, it seems as if some high-profile Americans are blazing a trail for others. In 2010, actress Sandra Bullock adopted a son, Louis, from New Orleans, a city that’s notoriously struggled with violence and poverty. And though Theron isn’t American, she certainly helps set an example for many of the nation’s citizens, who frequently look to celebrities for what’s acceptable in culture. It might sound nationalistic to some, but asking Americans to look domestically for a child before adopting abroad is not crazy or bigoted. It’s just asking them to acknowledge that there are kids here who need help as well. Perhaps it’s just too painful for some to consider that there are places in Baltimore where kids are as needy as children thousands of miles away.
You never provided any rational reason as to why you object to that. I have a white neighbor whose family adopted a black kid and he's doing quite well, both academically and socially. Oh, and you missed Webster?
Your belief is horrendously wrong. And actually what's worse is your worldview on the role of women in the world. That is infinitely more disgusting, pitiful, and sad coming from a so called "educated black man." In fact, I'm going to go on a lamb and say that you're a fake. I've met some ignorant ass black people, but to your magnitude? You came straight out of a minstrel show.
