8. That blew me away this morning.

Here, in my house, watching her on Matt Laur, and she says that. I (a white southern woman) looked at my black son (not 1/2 black, his bio parents were killed in a drunk driver crash) and he looked at me, and we laughed.

It was either laugh with him, or curse and throw something at the TV.

We have done great in this family with one black son and one white son. Neither feels any less loved, taken care of, respected, than the other. It has not a damn thing to do with race when you care for a child. You raise them from a child to be a good person.

I'm done with her.

Sorry for intruding, JAG, but I couldn't let this one go without commenting.
