MONTGOMERY - AL -
A statement made on the floor of the state house last month in Montgomery got a loud reply this afternoon from angry parents.

State representative Alvin Holmes (D) Montgomery, said republican lawmakers would support abortion if their daughters became pregnant by black men. Holmes later said he would offer $100,000 cash to anyone who could show "a whole bunch of whites" have adopted black children in Alabama.

Today at the state house, white parents who adopted mixed race or minority children said it's time for Holmes to 'pay up.'

Beverly Owings is an adoptive mother of a 13-year-old bi-racial daughter. "I would like for him to 'man up.' He's made the statement. He needs to put his money where is mouth is."

5. Nice headline

Skew much? Your headline makes it sound as if this is true.....in reality the story says it is nowhere near true.

7. ugh. that's just not right

Not too long ago, a guy I know who has a bi-racial daughter said she had reached the point in life where she was beginning to see the racism that is so woven into this society - and asked him why she didn't look like him. She's in elementary school.

another guy I know told me his bi-racial daughter, at one point in life, rejected him because she was mad he "made her black" - it broke my heart to see his face when he said that. They've since reconciled, now that she's in college.

But when you can see the effects of racism on children's perceptions of themselves - it just makes me sick.

It doesn't make me happy to see a democrat using children to attack his opponent. that was simply wrong.
