I was a heavy drinker for a number of years and over that time I often found people judged me without even knowing me and looked on me as if I was someone who was doing wrong as opposed to me being a person who needed help. I believe strongly that anyone who has an addiction should be looked on in the same way as a person with a physical illness, I dont believe that anyone with a problem like this should be looked as as a criminal or a bad person (if they have done nothing wrong in the eyes of the law) And even then, for example, if the police pick someone up for being drunk, should they treat them the same way as a person who has been in a fight or commited theft for example, because what that person needs is actually help, not condemnation.
I came to this conclusion when I stopped drinking and looked back over my own experience.
Opinions on this matter please ?

I am black, and my friends and I always jokingly call each other "nappy headed hoes."

a child of a different race? From a different country? What about a child with disabilites vs. a perfectly healthy child? And would you adopt an older child vs. a baby? I just want to see people's opinions on the adoption issue. Why or why not on any or all of these questions. Thanks!

I'll go first. This soft-brained bigot was probably the greatest contributor to divisive discord among Americans in the 20th century. Encouraging hate and attracting pandering politicians, he wrecked the US image of itself as well as the image of the US in the rest of the world.
