We have adults to do that and feed the fantasy.

Leave those
Leave those kids alone.

Um, that's not the point. Noticing "hey that baby is blonde" and making a point of it is just as bad as if someone was like "why are they showing a black baby".

It's hard to just get 7 babies together and much more expensive although I do respect your preference for lots of babies.

But let's just say you have budget for 1. Kinda sad that people have to read race into that.

I'm pretty exhausted by all of it.
Well, they've been turned racist by exposure to racists.

The "abyss" that is warned about staring into or becoming what you hate.

I hear you. Tell you what, tomorrow I'm going to stop by the donut shop and get some for all my friends at work regardless of what gender or color they are and I'm going to tell them I appreciate them.

All the haters can just wallow in their misery and go pound.

I hope you have a great weekend.

We should have OTHERS represented!"

Instead I just see a baby.

An Asian-American loses a football commentator gig because his name is the same as a confederate general from well over a century ago. A beautiful blond-haired baby is a nazi. Statues from all over the country are being taken down without notice, without opportunity for public comment and in the middle of the night. Democrats are chanting for impeachment, ninjas are still smashing sh*t, entertainers are holding bloody heads of decapitated presidents and acting out murder. And on. And on.

My husband has been calling liberalism a mental disorder for a few years now. Finally..........I am beginning to think that my benefit of a doubt was misplaced. Normal, rational, clear headed people don't think or act like this. They just don't.

I don't read race into it, but I understand that some people will, and I think I understand why. That is all.
