Felicity Adopts a Black ... Puppy

16. Shame on you TMZ. How could you compare adoption to slavery. SHAME. SHAME. SHAME.

17. Felicity will love that dog if he is as good as my 2 chocolat labs. My kids have grown so they are like my babies. There's nothing like a dog as they are so loving & loyal.
Shouldn't have compared a black dog with a black child though.

18. Usually you have the best breaking stories out there. But not only is this a non-story, you have actually equated an African child with a black puppy. This is absolutely shameful reporting, as well as being insulting to Africans, African Americans, and readers of all persuasions. Somehow I don't think even Felicity Huffman will be pleased with the publicity... Sooo not funny, TMZ.

19. Get over it people! The headline is hilarious! Madonna's a nut job and we all know it. I think you did a great job TMZ.

20. That was really tasteless of you to compare a puppy to a child. How stupid are you???

21. I believe some of You have taken this too far- it's not about being freaking black or slaves. Although that's what you say. Read the article for what it is and put up your "race " card.

22. Okay, I wasn't going to say anything and I realize I am commenting on a different post but reading the "racist" comments on this post set me off. I was originally going to post this under the racial comment Queen Latifah's friend made, but I'll put it under this since it seems more appropriate. Why is it that when a black person makes any type of negative comment about a white person and is not considered a "racial" comment. The minute a white person says or writes anything negative about a black person, or for goodness sake now it's a black dog, it is a huge racial controversy? Please someone tell me why that is.

23. That's it for me and TMZ, I will NEVER visit your site again. Yes racism is alive and well in America. Your headline is living proof of that. The pause after the word "black:" is utterly despicable! I hope Keith makes you the Worst Person in the World."

Posted at 5:10PM on Nov 14th 2006 by TMZ is as racist as can be

24. PUPPIES ARE BETTER THAN PEOPLE.

25. SHUT UP YOUR WHINING. IT'S NOT OFFENSIVE. IF IT WAS A WHITE DOG IT WOULDN'T OFFEND WHITE PEOPLE.
AND YES PEOPLE WERE RACIST ABOUT MADONNA'S BABY, BUT THIS ISN'T. STFU.

27. #23 IT'S NOT OFFENSIVE. PUPPIES ARE THE BEST! GET OFF IT.

28. OKAY... that does it for me. Quite a few females at work (a large financial corporation) get together at lunch to read the "rags" on TMZ - that is, until today. I cannot believe that you people are comparing a black child to a black dog. Isn't this 2006????? Just call me MONKEY!

29. Isn't adoption really the issue here? Why couldn't TMZ just say she "adopted....a dog?

30. Really, is it necessary to compare a child to a dog? That is absolutely disgusting and racist. And no, we will not get over it when people are always trying to degrade black people to the lowest denominator. Yes, Madonna's adoption was handled sloppily, but the vitriol that she has received has been nothing but YT's racism slipping out as usual. We're all doomed as a nation since we all hate each other so much.
