ReplyDelete1. She is from Uniontown, Ohio but near Chicago.
2. Cramblett wanted her child to have blond hair and blue eyes to resemble her partner.
3. One of the hardest parts about raising a biracial child is having to adjust to the differences that she has and white people do not, such as getting her hair cut.
4. Racism has not been an issue according to Cramblett.
5. The author shows both sides to the argument in this story, both Cramblett and other peoples opinions and reactions. I think the writer gives both sides because he states Crambletts thoughts through the legal document and her commentary, but also the opinions of what someone else may be thinking. The author writes, "But what if the child had been born white? Presumably, they would have had no problem raising that child in an environment they admit is unwelcoming of non-whites and not the most accepting of LGBT people."
6. I think there is going to be discrimination where ever they go. I believe that she has a right to receive the money she is hoping for because they gave her the wrong sperm, but it is not going to change the situation. I think that whether people want to believe it or not, there is still racism in the Country and moving to another community is not going to change her situation.

2.Blonde hair and blue eyes
3. Them not being accepted or given the same privileges she believes white people get
4. to them, she claims its not an issue, she feels that her child has been treated unfairly by others because of her race
5. They author portrays Cramblett and her family very negatively. he makes them seem very racist and he shows this by giving his on take on what they say and showing it from only one point of view. for example, when he gives his "translation" of what Cramblett is saying in the tenth paragraph.
6. yes, they are simply trying to give their child the best possible life and the advantage of growing up in a more accepting community. they know what it's like to be different and to grow up being treated differently and being bullied so they are trying to do all that they can to make sure this doesn't happen with their own child.

5. It portrays them as racists and is biased to the fact that all whites are racist which is written by an African American
6. No these parents are trying to move away their child because they do not like the qualities of the child. It is not right for them to do so and i think it is socially immoral.

2.) Blond hair & blue eyes to look like her "life partner."
3.) Overcoming a "steep learning curve" about learning about "black" culture.
4.) It's been a big issue, Cramblett lives in a racially intolerant environment, according to her. She has "fears, anxiety, and uncertainties" about raising her child in that environment.
5.) The author portrays Cramblett & her family as racially tolerant, except for her parents. I don't think there is any bias opinion being formed.
6.) My opinion is that it's their decision to make. Their child, their decision.

2.Jennifer wanted their child to have blonde hair with blue eyes to resemble her partner.
3.The hardest part is having to go to a black neighborhood where she is not welcomed to get her child's hair cut and having the fear and anxiety of racial discrimination and there child being treated wrong.
4. Cramblett believes racism has been a big part in raising their child especially where they live because its hard to raise a non-white child in a very racist town and its hard because they have to learn the blacks way.
5. The author portrays Cramblett and her family as the victims and that this shouldnt have happened so yes i would say the writer is being bias when they say "They didn't ask for their comfortable, white privileged way of life to be nearly eviscerated by blackness." Even though the company is at fault they should be glad they got a child no matter what skin color cause anyone would love to have a baby no matter the skin color.
6. I think it could be the right decision to move but no matter where you go there will always be racist people and even some people who do not approve of lesbian couples. Yes they could move but its not really going to help the issue because there will always be someone who does not approve on something. But at the same time if they move the issue might not be as bad as one place but the issue will always be there no matter what.

ReplyDelete1.This story takes place in Airdrie, Canada.
2.The incident that caused Caitlin to want to post all of her positive messages was that someone invaded into her locker and used her iPad to post a message on her Facebook account, telling her to commit suicide.
3.The Aidrie city council voted to make “Positive Post-It Day” an official holiday.
4.I think that it could be justified, but it shouldn’t be justified. Why would they wait until a certain moment to make it a national holiday when it happens to that one person when they know how much bullying in all categories goes on? This official holiday should have been established by the government, or whatever they call it up North.
5.I think that the author of this article isn’t biased, but the school administration is in a certain way. The author clearly stated the situation like it happened without taking “side-shots”, or giving his opinions, about the situation or the girl. The administration/faculty on the other hand was being bias to me. The article got really confusing when it explained how she got fussed at for trying to do something about her being bullied and bullying, period. They were acting like she was about to drop a bomb on the whole school because some people were bullying her. The administration could have handled the situation in a more peaceful way, even though in my opinion they should’ve never had a problem with the action to begin with.

2. She also wanted blond hair and blue eyes.
3. The hardest part is the steep learning curve.
4. They say race is not the reason why, but there community and family are not that accepting.
5. He kinda of protrays them as racist anf insensitive. His bias is to be against them. I believe this because he translates what he thinks they really mean, such as: THEY DIDN'T ASK FOR THEIR COMFORTABLE, WHITE PRIVILEGED WAY OF LIFE TO BE NEARLY EVISCERATED BY BLACKNESS. His mocking tone also towards the end is like him telling them to just deal with it.
6. This is somewhat the right decision because they are taking their child out of a potentially dangerous environment. But if they stayed, they could also help the community by opening their minds to reconsider their prejudices. What doesn't kill them will make them stronger.

3. According to Cramblett, the hardest part about raising a biracial child is understanding black people, black culture, black experiences and even how to do a black child's hair.
4. The issue of racism has significantly effected raising their child according to Cramblett.
5. The author portrays Cramblett's family as not upset about having a biracial child, just disappointed. Yes, the author is extremely bias because they mention that the biracial child has "upended their decades of enjoying the spoils of white privilege" and that the child will have to learn "about the cruel, racist realities of American society".
6. Whatever decision that they do make will effect the child differently depending on the situations the child is put in, but ultimately it's the parents' decision.

ReplyDelete1. She lives near the city of Chicago.
2. She chose a "blond hair, blue-eyed individual."
3. They have to learn black culture, black experiences and even how to do a black child's hair.
4. It has been a big issue because they live in a "racially inclusive" neighborhood that's all white and they have to drive to a more urban neighborhood to get their child a decent haircut.
5. They portray the family as a racist as the author seems more biased because in the article it claims that even though the family says they are not racist, most of the lawsuit is respectively about the more racialized concepts.
6. Yes, because the way she is treated can effect the way she will grow up. Who would want to live in a community where they are not wanted ALTHOUGH her own parents did not want that kind of child to begin with.

3. Living with the "fears and anxieties" about her child's future, referring to the fact that Cramblett lives in a racially intolerant town.
4. It's been hard for example, she has to travel to a town where most of the population consists of African Americans, just to get Peyton's hair cut correctly. In this town, Cramblett is not welcome.
5. The author portrays Cramblett as a concerned mother. In my opinon, there is no bias on the part of the writer because he seems to also be concerned about his situation.
6. Yes, there will be discrimination everywhere, sure, but moving her child to a different town where it is not as racially intolerant as the town they are presently living in is a great way to protect her child from being bullied as a child which leaves a more significant impact on the person's mental state that may stay present, even as an adult. And yes, when she grows up she will have to face more racial discrimination than just in the town she will live in if her parents get the money, but it won't have such a significant impact on her mental state.

2. Cramblett wanted her child to have blonde hair and blue eyes like her partner.
3. Cramblett says that the hardest part about raising her biracial child is becoming acclimated to black culture and whatnot; especially since she grew up in a racially intolerant family.
4. Racism has been an issue in raising her child especially in her racially intolerant family and community, but she says racism is not the main reason why she is suing.
5. The author portrays Cramblett as a priveleged, white woman who can not handle dealing with having a mixed child. There is bias on part of the writer, and I think the writer is black. When he/she writes, "Translation: They didn't ask for their comfortable, white privileged way of life to be nearly eviscerated by blackness" it makes it seem like the author is offended by the way Cramblett is acting and I think this is because the author is black.
6. I think they are making the right decision because the child will obviously have a hard time growing up in a racially intolerant community; however, she will always carry the stigma of being the child of a homosexual couple which also might be hard for her to cope with.

ReplyDelete1) She lives in Uniontown, Ohio.
2) She wanted the child to have blue eyes and blonde hair.
3) The remarks people will have against her for having a black/white child. Having people that only except one race and them not having open arms to Payton.
4) A big one because she is worried about her and Paytons future. She struggles with fears, anxieties, and uncertainty because of the awareness of the racial hate, discrimination, and remarks.
5) The author portrays Cramblett as being happy but unhappy at the same time; by saying that she is in love with her daughter but is upset that she didn't get the daughter she wished for. No there is not any bias because she is just telling the story like she heard it being told. I believe that is true because she is not adding anything in, it seems, to be in favor of any race.
6) Yes, because peoples opinions and remarks can drive a person right to their grave because of the guilt they will feel. In Cramblett place it is the best thing because they will not be able to grow as parents and adults mentally if they are stuck in an environment were people are so worried on a skin color. I think moving somewhere where it is diverse will definitely be a good choice for her and Payton because if they stay in Uniontown they will get all types of hate because of their mixed child.

5. The author casts a negative image on Cramblett and her family. I believe that the author is biased because he is writing the article in a way that portrays the family as not wanting to deal with the readjustments that need to be made to deal with their biracial child.
6. I think they are making the right decision to move to a place where the will not be discriminated against because it would not be a good idea to raise a child in such a negative environment.

3. The hardest part to Cramblet is the "fears, anxieties and uncertainty" about her child's future in their all-white, racially intolerant town, as well as within a culturally insensitive family.
4. The issue of racism while raising her child has been big because of the fact that people in her town might not accept her.
5. The author portrays them as bad people and does show signs of being bias because he says that if the baby had been born white, they wouldn't have had a problem with the baby.
6. Of course they should move if they feel like the 2-year-old will be discriminated against. If its for the good of the child then i believe they're making the right decision.

5. To me, I feel like the author portrays the couple as people who do not appreciate, or love, their daughter. Yes, the author is bias in this article. It seems he already had his view on this situation and his writing favored it.
6. Yes. It is best for Peyton to not grow up in an environment that she will be discriminated against because of her race. She will already face some discrimination because she has two mothers.

ReplyDelete1. Jennifer Cramblett lives near Chicago.
2. Cramblett wanted a blone hair, blue-eyed child.
3. Cramblett notes the hardest part about raising a biracial child is the racism that correlates with it.
4. Racism has been huge issue for their family because of the town they live in. Cramblett even states she receives dirty looks when she is taking her child to get her fixed in a predominantly black area.
5. The author portrays Cramblett and her family as deceiving. The author seems to have an unemotional side of the story that deems Cramblett's family as liars. In the excerpt, "Still, Cramblett maintains that race is not an issue, despite the considerable amount of space taken up in court documents with respect to the racialized elements of the case," the author seems to deny Cramblett's love for her child even though she repeatedly states that she loves her child regardless of her race. Cramblett was only upset with the situation because the child does not have the genes she paid good money for.
6. I believe it is right for Cramblett to remove her family from a situation she deems improbable of the capability to overlook Payton's race. No one should be looked at from an altered view due to any physical attribute they are incapable of changing. Cramblett is looking out for the safety of her child, and if she wants to do that, then by all means she should be able to do so. Children are easily swayed into thought processes their parents express to them. With that being said, removing a child from any situation that would make them the "odd one out" is always the morally correct thing to pursue.

6. I think that if Peyton's parents think that she will feel more accepted if she were raised in a different community that was not racial, then that could be the best thing for her. But then again they should stay where they are living because it shouldn't matter what other people think if they like living there and they want to stay then they should stay. They shouldn't be forced to move away from the home and community that they have come to know and love.

3. The potential racism against the child, including from the community and the family.
4. The biggest part of the issue is the daily concern of the child's future, but the parents could care less about her race.
5. I, myself, can't detect any biased comments from the author, however one section stands out. "As Cramblett told NBC News, one can't make a mistake like this and tell two first-time lesbian parents they should "just be happy" that they now have a baby, especially since they can't reproduce on their own."
6. I think they are making the right decision. There have been some cases were mixed children have attempted suicide due to other children and even adults teasing and discriminating them about not looking like either parent. Moving away from a racist community may be the best for the child.

ReplyDelete1.) Jennifer Cramblett lives in Uniontown Ohio.
2.) Cramblett wanted her child to have
blond hair and blue eyes.
3.) It is described in the article as the hardest part of raising a biracial baby as having to deal with the fears and anxieties of in the future your child not being dealt with fairly and not having as many opportunities as other children.
4.) Cramblett has described her town as being very hostile and close minded towards racism, so the article describes it has a very big problem they face daily in routine things like getting a hair cut.
5.) The article portrays the couple as being entirely wronged and at fault for what happened to them and it bias in order to create a sense of appeal for the family and bring them sympathy. This can be seen in the article by giving examples from the couple but taking no comments from the sperm bank or any other relating parties. In the article there is a link to an interview with Cramblett that appeals to our pathos and empathy but gives us no other information after that.
6.) Racism and discrimination will be evident in all parts of the world despite where they go. They are not making the right decision if they feel they will entirely escape the issues at hand, and even if they miraculously do they are not being discriminated for being homosexuals as portrayed in this article in their current town and that could be a pressing issue in the future. Gandhi wrote " Be the Change You wish to see in this world " and I feel this is a perfect example to bring forth to this question. In leaving they aren't making a difference but farther encouraging racism and discrimination.

They wanted their child to have blond hair and blue eyes.
The steep learning curve of learning about black culture, black people. black experiences, and even how to do a black child's hair.
It has been a big issue because they live in a town that is not exactly very racially tolerant because it is a mainly white town.
The writer seems to portray the Cramblett's as racists that are not accepting of black people and would much rather have a white baby. some examples are when the author says that cramblett says its not about race but then points out most of the lawsuit is about race and at the end when the author says Cramblett would probably have no problem raising a white child in a neighborhood that is not socially accepting of blacks.
I think it would be good to move Peyton away from the racist environment for her health and to protect her from possible future racial violence in Uniontown.

4. Racism has been a big problem in raising their child because she wants to move to another community as a result.
5. This article portrays Cramblett and her family as racist. There is a sort of bias on the part of the writer because he uses the words "complains" and states that "they didn't want their white, privileged way of life to be nearly eviscerated by blackness."
6. I believe they are somewhat making the right decision. Her living in a "racially intolerant" town could affect her confidence and overall happiness. While she could be happier living in a town that was more accepting of people of all races, she would need to learn that the world is a cruel place and that she will most likely experience racial discrimination in the future.

3. According to Cramblett, what is the hardest part about raising a biracial child?
Her child's future and their "white neighborhood"
4. How big of an issue has racism been in raising their child, according to Cramblett?
Big because things are looked at differently with her having mixed child.
5. How does the author of this article portray Cramblett and her family? Is there any sort of bias on the part of the writer? Why do you believe this to be true? (Give examples from the article.)The author makes it seems like Cramblett is having a hard life by having a black baby. The writer is making assumptions that being black is a bad thing. "Dealing with blackness has become burdensome and inconvenient for these two white mothers." I think the writer could have rephrased "blackness" to something else.
6. According to the article, Cramblett claims that the money she is hoping to win from the lawsuit will go to cover the cost of their move from their current community. In your opinion, is Cramblett and her family making the right decision to move their child away from an area where they fear discrimination based on her race?
It's really her choice on what she thinks is good for her daughter, but Cramblett should not be afraid to speak up for her daughter. Whether its not the right "community" for her child or not. She shouldn't feel embarrassed and she should make a change int the city that still discriminates.

3.The hardest part about raising a biracial child to them was adjusting to the lifestyle of raising a mixed baby.
4.They did not find racism to be a very big issue.
5. The author is not bias against the Cramblett family because he portrays them as a normal family. One example would be when he asked, "What if the baby was born white?" By asking this question he focuses on their struggle as a family instead of addressing the "lesbian" aspect of the situation.
6. I don't think Cramblett is making the right decision to move her family away from an area, because the discrimination is everywhere and they will have to face it no matter where they live, not only because of their child being black but because they are also lesbians.

"Translation: They didn't ask for their comfortable, white privileged way of life to be nearly eviscerated by blackness."
6. Yes. A community is formed and made by the people who live in it. When a person who isn't of the same race moves to a community, the community cannot be expected to accommodate for this one person. After all, people can choose where they live.

3. The hardest part about raising a black child is that they do not understand black people or black culture and the white community they live in has racial discrimination.
4. Racism has been a big issue.
5. She portrays them as a happy family. There is very little bias on the author's part. The author has explained how Cramblett has no problem with having a mixed-race child. She also has explained how they care for the child as if it was the child they orginally wanted.
6. Yes and no because they don't want their daughter to have to experience racism in that community but even if they move their daughter still may experience discrimination.
1. Jennifer Cramblett lives right outside of Chicago in Uniontown, Ohio.
ReplyDelete2. The couple wanted a blond hair blue-eyed child to resemble both parents.
3. The hardest part of raising the child is doing her hair. They have to go across town to the African-American side to get her hair done. The blacks generally do not accept her.
4. Cramblett lives in a generally racist environment that does not accept blacks. Relatives speak openly to Cramblett about how they feel.
5. The writer is not being biased. He is just talking about the family as a family going through racial issues.
6. I think the family should make the move. The child does not need to grow up in an environment that embraces hatred. The child with then learn to hate which will not get her far in life. She needs to grow up in an environment where she has friends and family that love her.

3. They don't know anything about the black ethnic race and having to comb their child hair because it is like African American hair and relating to things that they know nothing about.
4. It has been a big issue with raising their child because they grew up in a racist community/ family.
5. Yes the author is trying to say that Cramblett is being biased towards the child ethnic background. "They didn't ask for their comfortable , white privileged way of life to be nearly eviscerated by blackness". They were basically stating that their way of life was ruined because they had a black child, and they wanted a white child.
6. They shouldn't be worried about if the child will face racial discrimination. They weren't worried about racial discrimination if they would have had an white child. They are just making excuses because if they really love that child like they say they do then they would take up for the child and everyone will grow to love the child eventually. They shouldn't care about the color. But if they do care about the child and keep having racial discrimination then that's when they should move.

6. I think they are making the right decision because that's what every parents are going to make for their children. However, no matter where they moved to, racism will always be an issue to the child.

2. She wanted a blond hair and blue eyed child to look like the both of them.
3. The hardest part about raising the child is that Cramblett doesn't understand how to do the child's hair or how the black community raise their children.
4. Where she lives, there isn't a high acceptance rate of blacks. Basically everywhere she went, there was an issue.
5. The author isn't being biased at all. The author is just explaining what's going on about Cramblett and her child. Cramblett still accepts the child regardless.
6. Yes and no to that question. Yes they should move because no child deserves to live somewhere were they aren't wanted and treated like they're not a human just like everyone else. They need love and to be surrounded by those that also love them back. No because unfortunately, no matter where you go or run to, discrimination is still present.
