the great white north

ill keep this quick. im in boston on a work stint, but theres still something unnerving to me about white parents who raise their black adopted children in a totally white environment and whose children (unsurprisingly) view themselves as being outside blackness, rather than simply broadening its definition to include folks like themselves who "act/talk white" and who feel more comfortable around white people than black. no wonder when the only exposure they have to black people and culture is through stereotypes via mtv. i hope adoptive mommy and daddy dont think theyre doing chrissy any favors. oy vey.
