Palin Had/Has Problems With "Minority Type(s)" - Left Hawaii College Because of Them

[Facial_King]

Apparently, part of the problem is that the Asians and Pacific Islanders common to Hawaii weren't "glamorous":

In the words of Palin's own father:

“They were a minority type thing and it wasn’t glamorous, so she came home.”

Another slanderous post by the "get it wrong" King...!
What, you couldn't find an article bashing Law Enforcement or the Military, so you're trying to turn some vague comment by her Dad into a "Palin is a racial bigot" expose?
Lame excuse for a post...
To quote a poster on the UberLib site The New Republic, where this of course was put out:
"... no it is because the lure of the beach is pretty damn strong.

I hate to say it but I am a little on her side on this. She grew up in a small tight knit community, Hawaii is a definition of diversity, and she probably felt unsure how to act (remember she was just 18). As to the racism charge her husband is half Alaskan native American, so much so that McCain staffers referred to him as the Eskimo."

And I'm sure he just loved that!!

He was just the spouse ,like they cared what he thought lol.

And let me add that just because you have sex with someone (and this applies to all those racism in porn threads as well) or marry them does not automatically mean you view them as your equal does it? Women used to be viewed as mens property to do with almost as they wished (beat,fuck ,anytime they wished etc) when they got married.

I don't know how severe a racist Sarah is ,probably just average for a conservative republican which means more than most lol but I do think this is just another example 18 or not that she was not ready for anything very complex then and hasn't changed much since.

The upside of growing up in a rural, small town is that everybody gets to know everybody else. The downside is that (especially when the town is fairly homogenous) kids often become rather xenophobic, and don't learn the social skills necessary to interact with other groups.

That's one of the main reasons that I was determined to go to a larger university when I graduated from high school. I felt like to make it in the world, you had to be able to deal with "the world". I could have easily gone to some small, socially insulated school like Liberty University. And while I guess one could get a decent enough education at a place like that, the people I've met from schools like that tend to be sort of socially retarded. I knew a great many Sarah Palins when & where I grew up. That's probably one of the main reasons that I have no use for her now. She possesses a great deal of sizzle, but I see no indication that the steak has any taste.

BTW, has it ever been determined why Sarah attended so many different (small, unknown) colleges and took so long, just to get a lightweight degree?

I have a good response to this

"Who gives a fuck?"

People in this country are way too uptight and anal-retentive. And I am not defending some right-wing lunatic either. But I love how the media is always turning something that is probably not a race issue into one. Seriously if one thinks about it, you have race-bating assholes like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. And just because they have nothing else to say about Sara Palin they are going to use this bullshit, and I'm not a supporter of hers in anyway. I think she's a lunatic too. But.....

I am sick and tired of this crap, there are some very racist people in the world and guess what my friends that is NEVER going to change. People change if they want to but this is not the case, there are just those that are going to have these viewpoints and it has been my observation that much of this occurs in states where there are not a lot of diverse ethnic groups. I originally come from NYC and now I live in Miami and nowhere are there two cities are so ethnically diverse. And you know what, I don't care what your ethnic group is, if you are an ASSHOLE, then you are an ASSHOLE whether you are white, black, asian, latino or a mix of everything. It has been my observation that those that are usually narrow-minded about this are those that do not live in areas that are ethnically mixed.

Just my :2 cents:

Yeah, I guess if you consider the words of her father (who I believe has been very supportive of her in her political aspirations) to be slanderous...

I hate to say it but I am a little on her side on this.

OH!! You don't say???!!!??

What a shocker.

Nice one, Philby.
Maybe you're audition for a spot on her talk show or her prez run in 2012?

Re: Palin Had/Has Problems With "Minority Type(s)" - Left Hawaii College Because of T

Philbert, do you think you can simply say something semi-intelligent about the quote from HER FATHER, without getting all hot and bothered at ME just for taking note of it???

Re: Palin Had/Has Problems With "Minority Type(s)" - Left Hawaii College Because of T

Didn't Barack Obama out his own grandmother as being afraid of black people and making racists comments (here)? If they interviewed her about her grandson's feelings about Pacific islanders in Hawaii I wonder what she would come up with? :dunno:

Re: Palin Had/Has Problems With "Minority Type(s)" - Left Hawaii College Because of T

meh.. her father's opinion on why she left is just that, his opinion.

Jimmy Carter had his brother Billy to embarrass him

Bill Clinton had Roger

Palin's dad just may be a senile old curmudgeon.

If she runs, they will be voting for or against her, not her dad.

His comments leave a lot to interpretation, my guess is that he isn't a motivational speaker so his skills as an orator are limited.

Palin is making waves right now so as usual, the left are trying to find anything they can to discredit her.

 

[Facial_King]

Re: Palin Had/Has Problems With "Minority Type(s)" - Left Hawaii College Because of T

I would think much less of the quote if there was ever a report of some friction between Palin and her dad, or that he didn't back her political goals all the way.

Funny how Obama had to overcome anything and everything about his father, mother, brother, aunts, uncles, dudes he bumped into at parties, etc., even though it was Obama running for office.

You must be really naive if you think her husband is only half white. From what I heard his great grandmother is native alaskan...the guy is at best 12 % native alaskan. Do you think he checks the non white box on his applications? Do you know how many whites have at least 20 % indian in this country? Too many. If her husband applies for a membership in a racist goup like....they won't deny him based on race. That is how you can tell if someone is white or not; whether those groups will reject his or her application based on race. Give me a break. You can be that Naive.

Is anyone surprised by the stupidity and ignorance and of the Palin family?

Re: Palin Had/Has Problems With "Minority Type(s)" - Left Hawaii College Because of T

Palin was thrown under wheels of the GOP machine once McCain realized he was toast.

She's got balls!
I've learned never to bet against a smart woman with determination!

Re: Palin Had/Has Problems With "Minority Type(s)" - Left Hawaii College Because of T

The section eighter louts just can't get enough of this lady, why ? Because she's plenty more attractive than that stretch face goon nancy pelosi ?

Don't you democrats have enough faith in your own party in that if Palin were to ever become the republican nominee for pres that there would be no "D" crossovers ?

Oh yeah, that's it! :thumbsup:

We're JEALOUS that the right-wing has the (very debatable) MILF Palin on their "team" whereas we see Nancy P as the leader of our team (really, do we?? News to me!), and doggone it, she's just not as HOT as Palin.

(Do you often compare women with a 24-year age difference? Hardly seems fair.)

Truth be told, I'm not much of a fan of Pelosi at all, but I'd bet that if she were asked what she reads, she'd be able to answer the question with some specificity, and she wouldn't pretend that it was a trick question afterwards, wouldn't play it up that it was yet another attempt to victimize her - yaaaaawn.

Re: Palin Had/Has Problems With "Minority Type(s)" - Left Hawaii College Because of T

the writer of the article actually asks "Why has this gotten absolutely no media attention?"
holy fuck, thats really messed up.....should it be the top story?
maybe the lamest attempt ive seen yet.
economy still in the dumps, thousands going to fight in afghanistan,, record spending ect ect and this super lib asks why its not a bigger story?
now titsrock you know why my avator is puking.............and maybe because its vague, it was 30 years ago, its has nothing to do with anything , its unimportant, or people just dont give a shit.
