with all the kids here in the USA who need parents (i know there are white kids in orphanages), why do all these white people keep going to Africa to adopt little black kids?
Madonna did it. so did Angelina Jolie. now with much less fanfare, arguably the top Arena League quarterback John Dutton has done the same thing. he's brought a black kid into his white home. why?

why do these people keep going halfway around the world to "help" children. if they are so kind-hearted, why don't they help the kids here in the USA?
for example, Dutton, who plays for the Colorado Crush, surely knows about the untimely death due to brain cancer of Utah Blaze wide receiver/defensive back Justin Skaggs.

ifDutton has so much love in his heart, enough money to do all this mission work in Africa, the desireto help children, why would he choose togo to Africa and bring home a localinstead of helping Skaggs' two young children (5 and 3)? it would certainly make more sense to me. the culture clash would only be one reason to point out.
almost as important, and certainly more logical, Skaggs' held a much closer relationship as a fellow Arena League athlete to Dutton than some kid in a nameless village in the butthole of the world. plus, Skagg's kids are white Americans who are suddenly without a father. why not help their suddenly single mom out if you've got the desire to show God's love.
i see this all the time with many Christians (of whom i am one), as they try to spread the word of God. they specifically target blacks in American ghettoes, and "the poor souls" in Africa. why don't they try to help out their fellow white people first rather than pointedly going after the "downtrodden" minorities?when all the white people have things taken care of, THEN if you still feel the need you can go help out the blacks who are so important.
i mean seriously, i've seen the countless hordes of blacks lining up to help white people when emergencies happen or devastation is wrought in a community. i guess it's only fair to pay them back. no wait. i've NEVER seen that. not once.
this behavior completely confuses me. and i'd like some help to understand what the hell is wrong with white people in this country.

By Nathan Boudreaux -- Colorado Crush quarterback John Dutton is not your average football player. <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
On the field, he's been one of the Arena Football League's top passers for the last five seasons for the Crush and is the only signal-caller in the 21-year history of the League to start and win an ArenaBowl championship for two different clubs. But, away from the gridiron, the 31-year old is a true family man in every sense of the word.
Dutton and his wife Terina have two young boys - Zachary and Drew - and just returned from Africa this week where they adopted their third son, Miki, a 10-year old Ethiopian child who had been living in an orphanage outside the country's capital city of <?:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Addis Ababa</st1lace></st1:City>.
