I know this woman who likes to document her exploits in charity. She posts selfies in the soup kitchen, takes pictures of herself with homeless people, building Section 8 housing, reading to a class of low income students, and recently, scooping poop in an overcrowded animal shelter. All of these things are awesome, but none of it seems from the heart. She posts it all on social media and seems to thrive on the attention she gets from it. People telling her how good of a person she is, how inspiring she is, etc. etc. After a work of charity and all these people worshipping her, it goes to her head and she acts so pompous and arrogant up until her next photo shoot with a homeless person. It seems so exploitative and fake to me.

Now, she's decided she wants to be a foster mother. But not to any child, no. She specifically posted she wants a black child. She is white. Here is a copy paste of her reasoning:

"I have personally seen the impoverished conditions so many black children face in this country, so I feel it is my duty as a white woman to show a black child a GOOD life."

There's more, but that's the jist of it.

Maybe it's just me, but this seems so racist. It's like she's under the impression a black child can't have a good life unless a white person "saves" them. Of course her post got about 500 likes and comments from other white people saying what a kind heart she is. As a black person, it seriously sounds like her and all these people think we're some kind of charity case.

I keep thinking and thinking about it, and I don't think her home would be a healthy environment for a black child with this savior complex attitude. Do you think it would be wrong to notify the fostering agency she is going through of her post? Would you? I'm all ears.
