BUT WHO SAID that CC families make BETTER parents of a child of color than same race parents??????

The implication was that there was NOTHING better about being raised in a same race household because cc homes are "just as good" or not second best. That implies that there is no benefit to being raised by same race parents. Obviously, if there is a benefit to having aa parents for an aa child, then having cc parents is "second best". I dont dispute that, many seem to.
