You are so right. Is she trying to be Angelina. Even in old films white people always loved Black children but can’t treat the adults w/dignity and respect. backstabbers.

Madonna has no right to take the man’s child. No one has no right to take anyone’s child just because they feel they could give it a better life. Him refusing to let her have mercy does not mean that is mind is closed, or that he is acting upon his “African beliefs,” which I take offense too. It is not just Africans who want their children to live by morals they find suitable. That differs between cultures as well as individuals. Even if he didn’t want the girl from before, he does now, whether its for selfish reasons, to keep her in her birth country, or because he just likes a good fight. We will never know unless we ask him.

If Madonna cares so much for the girl, she should be able to understand that if she cannot win, or its not a battle she needs to win, its possible to compromise. Madonna has enough money to adopt as many children as she wants from Africa, Asia, Antartica, Europe, Timbuktu, Neverland, or wherever she may find them. She can adopt another child, or ask the father if she can still be a part of the girl’s life. Her and her children can fly over, and maybe when she’s older the father will even let her visit.

I love Madonna, but she is being completely rude and selfish. It is wrong to impose yourself on the lives of other. She should either leave him and his child alone, or help them out. Mercy is all him and the grandmother have left of the child’s mother.

Some shady american media are paying him to do this so they have more scandal to write about. Women in those countries are treated like ANIMALS!! Google some African pictures and see. He will most likely sell her later on anyway. I don’t Madonna is the best person in the world but at least I know for sure that the little girl won’t be gang raped or sold to some older man. That is a fact. This guy is a joke just let Madonna adopt the child he was nowhere to be found before he found out that a “american musician” wanted his child and now he wants a part in all of it. I’m positive Madonna is and will be a better parent than him. All money issues aside.

I’m with everyone else- I smell BS. He’s never met the child, now all of a sudden he wants to care for her?? Where is he while she’s in the orphanage, why hasn’t he taken her out?? Someone said he thought she was dead- did he bother verifying that or hunting the truth before Madonna tried to swoop in and “save” the child?

he doesn’t want her to grow up in an orphanage. He wants to raise her.

I can only take his word as true, until something else comes out. If he didn’t know about her, and wants to raise her, broke or not, I don’t see where some outside force should come in and use their “judgement” to say her life would be better with Madonna, simply because she has more money.

You know I used to think like you, and believed poor people shouldn’t procreate. But then I asked myself what the heck was I really saying.

Imperialism has robbed many countries of resources, and the opportunity to develop on an equal playing field. And now that Europe has gone through these countries and stolen all that they needed, they are left poor, and I’m really here saying “Now don’t reproduce, cease from existence”

Classic Darwinism, survival of the fittest. I cannot ignore compassion and primal urge to procreate that is equal in every one of us. The same way Madonna wants to be a parent so damn bad, I don’t see why I can’t believe her father wants that same right.

Rich people would be nowhere without the exploitation of poor people. Who the heck is going to work for them at such low wages?

Capitalism has really played a number on us. Poor Black people are made to believe our lives are worth less, and we shouldn’t have the same rights as everyone else, even natural rights like procreation.

I’ll repeat, I don’t know the man. He could very well be a money grubbing bastard trying to exploit his daughter, but dammit I don’t know Madonna either. Nobody is going to be able to tell me, that simply because Madonna wants to adopt a Black child over a White child shows how good a person she is. I don’t know her. I don’t know what moral values she has. I don’t know her. And no one here really does.

First, he needs to go back to school. If he cared that much for the child, she would already be with him.

Madonna needs to move on to another child, and forget Mercy.

I completely see where you are coming from. I was taken from a poor family (in america) as a baby and adopted by a family just below middle class (all black) and I had a wonderful life. My thing is, where was all this desperate want and need for this child before Madonna showed up? No one decided to tell him all this time. The grandmother didn’t want her all this time.

The crazy thing is, what he’s saying about Madonna is probably correct. But that does not change the fact that any life with a family, shelter, love and an education trumps an orphanage.

And am I so wrong for thinking that people who cannot support a child shouldn’t reproduce? For every me, there are thousand of others that grow up uncared for (good intentions don’t produce a darn thing) It seems as simple as thinking that I shouldn’t go out and buy a mansion and benz.
