...temptation to support only the purest and most needy charities hurts more than it helps. The Red Cross doesn’t allow gay men to give blood, an unnecessary restriction that reinforces harmful stereotypes. The Democratic Party of Franklin Roosevelt supported Strom Thurmond. The labor movement once tolerated unions that discriminated against women and minorities.

There are reasons to oppose this...

Epatha Merkerson), gives an ersatz family of wayward, mostly African-American drifters shelter, hot meals and toughlove. The youngest is little Ruben (an astute Marcus Carl Franklin), whom Nanny delivers in an upstairs room, then takes in when neither of his young parents proves mature enough to raise...
