My memoir Surviving the White Gaze, which came out earlier this year, is not just my story about the enduring trauma of being adopted into a white family, but an excavation of the chillingly foundational dynamic of transracial adoption in America. 1/1
Amy Coney Barrett's callous suggestion that birthmothers just gestate children and then give them up for adoption is sadly emblematic of that foundational dynamic. That she is an adoptive mother of two Black children all the more so.
If her remarks don't awaken you to the potential repercussions of continuing this dynamic without a rigorous interrogation of how transracial adoption works — please reconsider, and spend some time thinking about it.
In a newly posted TikTok video, TPUSA mocks Colin Kaepernick for being adopted into a white family.
The video shows a white actor wearing a fro and a hoodie pretending to be the former NFL quarterback.

If you're not already watching it, #colininblackandwhite is FANTASTIC.
Seeing where he started, especially the lack of racial awareness in his home, makes his journey all the more remarkable to me.
Seeing how hard Colin Kaepernick worked for his lifelong dream to be a quarterback - knowing what he was willing to risk later for his ideals, and what he lost...WHEW.
#ColininBlackandWhite has me in my feelings.

Colin Kaepernick rarely grants interviews but agreed to answer questions from the @latimes about his new Netflix limited series, #ColinInBlackAndWhite latimes.com/entertainment-…
Its six episodes focus on teenage Colin, a three-sport star, as he comes to terms with his Blackness and struggles to be accepted as a quarterback.

It wasn’t exactly the story @ava came in expecting to tell either. But she soon understood the force of Kaepernick‘s determination. latimes.com/entertainment-…
