Barrett Smacks Down Critical Race Theory Prof Who Claimed She’s A Colonizer For Adopting Black Children
“It was the risk of people saying things like that, which would be so hurtful to my family, that… I had to really weigh the costs of this.”
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) asked Judge Amy Coney Barrett about the hateful attacks on her family and adopted children from Haiti.
Barrett said: “They are my children who we love and who we brought home and made part of our family and accusations like that are cruel.”
This came up because at the end of September Boston University’s Ibram X. Kendi called Barrett and her husband “white colonizers” who use their black children as props and “civilized” them “in the ‘superior’ ways of White people.”
Kennedy asked: “Some butthead professor at Boston University says that because you and your husband have two children of color, that you’re a white colonist. The implication is that you’re a racist. And that you use your two children as props. Do you use your children as props?”
Barrett responded: “It was the risk of people saying things like that, which would be so hurtful to my family, that… I had to really weigh the costs of this.”
The remarks hurt Barrett and her husband, but also her children, “who we love and who we brought home and made part of our family.”
You know what else is sick? Kendi is not the only one who questioned Barret’s adoption of Haiti children:
“Next Gen America” managing director John Lee Brougher was another critic of Barrett’s adopted family. “As an adoptee, I need to know more about the circumstances of how Amy Coney Barrett came to adopt her children, and the treatment of them since,” Brougher wrote. “Transracial adoption is fraught with trauma and potential for harm, and everything I see here is deeply concerning.”
Democratic activist Dana Houle said he would “love to know which adoption agency Amy Coney Barrett and her husband used to adopt the two children they brought here from Haiti.”
“Does the press even investigate details of Barrett’s adoptions from Haiti,” Houle asked. “Some adoptions from Haiti were legit. Many were sketchy as h-ll. And if press learned they were unethical and illegal adoptions, would they report it? Or not, bc it involves her children.”

The Left would rather minority children rot in The System than be adopted by people of the wrong skin color.
“civilized” them “in the ‘superior’ ways of White people.”
1) Ideally, blacks would become hands on parents, and civilize their children, because all children need to be civilized.
2) It is a shame that more blacks are not willing to adopt black children, most of the time children are better off being adopted regardless of their race or race of those adopting.
3) All we have to do is look at the statistical difference between outcome of black children and children of other groups to know that the way others raise children is superior.
4) Good parenting is about doing one’s best to help each child achieve their full potential. No matter hat we do, some children’s potential will be lower than others.
Because, you know, they should have the culture of Wakanda, not Silicon Valley.
Oops, no Wakanda, kids, will you settle for South Chicago?
May those who target Amy’s children find themselves tethered to a millstone, a thousand feet above the abyss and falling fast.
Somebody famous once said something like that.
Every adult should do their best to help any child in need, ad should not do harm. Doing harm to children is despicable.
If these people are sooooo concerned about white people adopting black kids and using them as props, where’s all the hand-wringing over Hollywood weirdos who adopt black kids and parade them around?
That is completely different because … shut up.
Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. IMHO, being an orphan in Haiti is the worst starting point in life any human could have (other than having severe birth defects).
The Barrett’s gave two orphans a much better chance at a life that is enjoyable to live. For this, Ibram X. Kendi brands them as colonizers.
By his own logic, no white people should support any form of affirmative action for black people – since that is clearly the action of a “colonizer” or white savior.
I disagree with the comparison to affirmative action. Aren’t most black people offended by comparisons with children — not a new trope by any means. Didn’t some statues get torn down for that reason?
This isn’t affirmative action. These are her children. And at that point, unless there was some impropriety involved in the adoption, the discussion ends.
No, it isn’t affirmative action. This was voluntary beneficence, the responsibility for which one agreed to bear. Affirmative action is an imposed mandate, the consequences of which are perverse but the “donors” are helpless to change.
This is love.
and Mercy, and Compassion, and joy unspeakable, and unlimited opportunity, and grace manifest.
When the Clintoons and their “foundation” were looting the Haiti hurricane relief funds the Dims were silent.
When a family rescues two Haitian orphans and gives them a better life…. RAYCISS they screech!!
Idiots.
Leftists: Let’s advocate baby murder while demonizing adoption of children from Haiti for political opportunism.
Also Leftists: Clinton Foundation plundered millions of $$$ from Haiti? Never heard of it.
Andrew Breitbart: EFF YEW. WAR.
It is only when one has the vision to see past skin color that this nation will heal. Shame on those who make everything about race.
When you have a group which uses claims of racism to try profit, there is no choice except to call them out as racist.
The Left would rather unwanted children of color be aborted rather than adopted by white families.
What about all the celebs that did this as a fashion statement? Does this knuckle dragged have the same tear down for them?
The Bride worked at a local faith based child services and family counseling agency. She was the receptionist so she heard things from literally everybody else, especially the counselors and foster/adoption people. Many of those stories made me alternately swell with pride for what they did for the children, or want to fight at what the kids’ parents did to them. There was the time that two hunters found some children out in the woods because their “father” had left them there and drove away the previous night. No, not an exaggeration. Pardon the digression but some things stick in the memory.
The Barretts adopted two Hatian children BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO. There is no other explanation needed. If these Dimocrats want to prove a point, let them do the same thing. Have patience waiting for that to happen.
Get it over with and call for a vote in the full Senate. Geez, what a show.
.
The vast majority of unwanted children are black and mixed
So where are all the people of color lining up to adopt them?
My daughters friend at 26 adopted a family of 3 black kids and she is as white as snow…
They are very lucky indeed
Race baiting is all that the Ibram X. Kendi’s of the world have, his entire career is based on it so he cannot stop making idiotic, hateful comments like this. Further, he knows that he will never be challenged on it by his employer or anyone in the MSM as each is completely cowed at this point.
The vile comments by Kendi are not merely the partisan hate of a Communist directed against a Republican (although they are that). Kendi is a full-throttle black supremacist who dreams of genocide against the white devils. In a kind of Hitler-Stalin pact Kendi and white Communists see a race war as the path to power. For that reason they absolutely hate interracial anything (adoption, marriage, friendship) that might get in the way of the power they lust for.
Yes, according to Kendi’s book, anti-racism is the same as black supremacy.
Boston University appears to specialize in left wing. nuttos– for a long time Zinn, now Kendi–not surprising the Bronx socialist moron is a Boston U. graduate. I am amazed that people spend big books to attend.
And don’t forget their dim witted alumnus, AOC.
The little black man with the name he made up for himself while attending some third rate school getting his degree in critically nonsensical studies is worried about whitey raising the chirren.
What happens when they succeed and “humiliate” the other chirren o’colah?
The American black man reached his peak in the mid sixties and has been steadily devolving ever since.
Very sad. Thanks to the efforts of the DIMs and their so-called leaders a race will extinguish itself through abortion and stupidity brought about by infantilizing policies they have embraced.
And if she had not adopted? They’d be talking about her selfishness, and unwillingness to help the poor and oppressed.
Did they accuse Colin Kappernack’s parents of that?
65 percent if Black households are single parent.
Someone has to help them.
Getting black men to settle down and be an active parent is an example of civilizing them, that is the “superior” thing to do.
“Someone has to help them”
I’d suggest they start by helping themselves. Maybe by living a “lifestyle” that doesn’t purposely set themselves up to be single parents?
Sorry, but two-parent families, getting an education, and not joining street gangs are the very definition of “the superior ways of white people.” Otherwise known as “civilization.”
Professor Ibram X. Kendi, Beavis and Butthead Chair of Advanced Stupidity at Boston University…
No surprise the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University has a renowned racist as its director (Ibram X. Kendi). Because it seems the sole purpose of all and any “antiracist” groups is to promote racial discord and antiwhite racism. #StopCoveting
Just wanted to say, one of my really good friends is a nurse and did medical missions for years to Haiti. I’m not sure people realize, there are hundreds of kids in orphanages for various reasons, even before the earthquake. She adopted 2, and arranged for a 3rd to come to the US on a school visa. Being adopted is the best thing to happen to those orphans, that live in horrible conditions there. Every child deserves a chance, and people willing to adopt children from haiti or anywhere else deserves to be lauded.
Clinton’s cronies had some shady deal, removing children from Haiti. Can’t recall if there was a prosecution.
The left, what dimwits.
Why should anybody be concerned about adoption of children? These lefties are just jackass busybodies.
