Who is the young, brown cutie?

I don't follow entertainment news much but I just had to read about the remake of Red Dawn. It was a film released in the 80's about a group of teens who band together to fight terrorists who invade America. The terrorists back then were Cuban and Russian. Interesting how times change. In the new film, the terrorists will be Chinese (hmmm) and Russian...I guess the Russians just can't catch a break in American's eyes. I wonder why they aren't Arabic? That would make more sense but maybe Hollywood doesn't want to stir that pot.

Truth be told, the real reason I discovered this remake is because of the young man standing next to Tom Cruise in the photo. Who is that cute drop of chocolate standing next to one of my favorite drops of vanilla? THAT is Tom Cruise's son! What??? That's what I said.

First thought, he has a black son? Where is the black mom? Did -I- ever have a chance? LOL! Well, one can dream...but seriously, where this child come from?

When Tom divorced Nicole, I often wondered what happened to their children. They adopted two children for whatever reasons. I question possibly fertility problems since Nicole now has a biological child and so does Tom. This boy is one of the children Tom and Nicole adopted.

I have to applaud Tom and Nicole for taking such a step. Not many white people will adopt a black child. I can only hope they took steps to educate him about his unique and special heritage. I do not automatically oppose whites adopting ethnic children, despite the obvious problems that can develop. I just hope they realize the child must learn of his/her heritage to be proud of their ancestry.

On the other hand, I am very offended when I hear some whites commenting that it is a 'step up' for the ethnic child to get white parents. No need to get deep into that trough, the opinion is just an insult.

So, good luck to Connor Cruise in his acting endeavors.
