Reply to comment by Inconceivable-2020 in European court at odds with British values, says Suella Braverman by Mighty_L_LORT

The European Court of Human Rights has nothing to do with the European Union.

The ECHR was formed as part of the Council of Europe in the aftermath of WW2 and was predominantly championed by that obviously Marxist enemy of the British people, err, Winston Churchill. Its goal is to protect people in Europe from tyrannical and fascist governments. A particularly appropriate role when dealing with the current Tories.

It is the cornerstone of the "Never Again" consensus which has reigned throughout Europe since 1945.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Colin Kaepernick says adoptive white parents perpetuated 'racism' at times while raising him by DrChefAstronaut

Adoption informed people do not use language like "ungrateful" to describe adoptees, and they are aware of the myriad of ways that children end up in foster care/adoption. You are blithely unaware that many "abandoned" children had parents who were coerced into putting them in care, or had parents who were "undesirable" in some way. You don't care about our issues regarding loss and identity, even if the adoption happened under the best of circumstances. Again, it is best for you to sit this one out until/unless you become informed about adoption, because you are not as informed as you think you are.

Respectfully, this is a conversation that is way above your pay grade. You are very obviously uneducated about adoption since 1) you feel bold enough to infantilize me and other adoptees despite the fact that we are grown adults 2) you assume that all adoptees were abandoned by their biological parents. Since you have no interest in listening to adoptees or learning about the history of adoption, you should really sit this one out.
