Introduction — Sept 28, 2020<\/h1>\n

Although she’s no “white colonizer” Professor Ibram Kendi of Boston University may have a point about Judge Amy Barrett. For those prominent White public figures who adopt Black kids the move is often a cynical, calculated PR move.<\/h5>\n

While Hollywood star Charlize Theron has gone one step further than Madonna. The South African-born actress didn’t just adopt two Black boys, she is now raising both as girls<\/span><\/a>.<\/h5>\n
While Judge Amy Barrett’s adoption isn’t so obviously a PR stunt, we would not dismiss entirely what Prof. Kendi says. Ed.<\/h5>\n

    And whether this is Barrett or not is not the point. It is a belief too many White people have: if they have or adopt a child of color, then they can't be racist.<\/p>\n
