Vox Popoli
VERBATIM POST
=======================
If reports of this past affair turns out to be true, I tend to suspect it wouldn't go over particularly well with the core of Palin's support. People talk a good game of racial equality, but very few men of any race are enthusiastic about the women of their race being involved with the men of other races.In the book, which will be published on September 20th, McGinniss claims Sarah had a steamy interracial hookup with basketball stud GLEN RICE less than a year before she eloped with her husband Todd. Sarah hooked up with the NBA great, then a 6-foot-8 junior at the University of Michigan when he was playing in a college basketball tournament in Alaska in 1987, the book says. At the time, Sarah, just out of college, was working as a sports reporter for the Anchorage TV station KTUU....Although I have to say there is one thing very suspicious about this story. Glen Rice was never an NBA great.
Rice confirmed the story to McGinniss.
Meh...
ReplyDeleteI doubt if it was a factor at all...
Heck, would probabky gsin her points with dems more than it woukd cost her with whoever...
I suspect many of us have taken part in unsavory sexual escapades when we were single 20-somethings.
ReplyDeleteThat said, the term "coal-burner" comes to mind...
sexual escapades?
ReplyDeleteOh no, heaven forbid........
Walter: OUCH!
ReplyDeleteI've hit to admit being a bit old-fashioned about such things, but...
If my daughter fell in love with a REAL, GOOD MAN who happened to be of another race, I'd find a way to be OK with it.
What I can never comprehend are those who totally reject all of their own race and get "stuck" - fixated - on serial relationships with others not like themselves... Sadly, these gals seem to failed a pattern of picking the worst examples to boot... Those area the cases where such a term might fit, IMHO....
*IF* this story is true, it sounds like a one-time/one individual, and.not a pattern...
One thing I know for sure: I'm damn glad nobody judges me for what I did from ~18 to ~25......

ReplyDeleteHussein's "mother"?!:)
Yup-though she at least seemed to try to pick quality examples of"the others"... I think the theories about her being CIA are likely valid...
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I was thinking more of the type commonly called "wiggers" - who seem to be attracted to / want to emulate the worst ghetto-stereotype, adopting the mannerisms, speech patterns, dress & even hairstyles of the stereotypical ghetto-dweller...
Like I said - fall in love with an individual? Ok. Reject your entire race & culture & deliberately become the worst sort of example of some other people? I just don't get it...
FTR: I'd be just as mystified by a middle-class black trying to become a hillbilly, but that never seems to happen. I *AM* mystified when blacks reject middle-class roots for a ghetto lifestyle...
Blacks AND Whites trying to be Japanese are mocked as "weaboos" or "wapanese" likewise the generic "blasians" or the much less PC "nigganese" - usually applied by blacks on others affecting some "asian" fixation...
Everyone is entitled to be whatever they wish, but like Fred Reed I guess I just don't see "elitism" (which he defines as "the antiquated notion that the better is preferable to the worse") as such a bad thing...
Further, I doubt I'll ever be able to see the ghettofication of society as a GOOD thing either - except perhaps arguably for those enriching themselves at the cost of countless lives wrecked as a result...
I remember the time when the poor/"underclass" of all races strove to better themselves & emulate the upper-classes. Now it seems the opposite its becoming more and more true all the time.......

ReplyDeleteAs do I. Just unbelievable, which for some reason, reminds me of this.

My Great Aunt Lucy Iana Leach - Reminiscences Of My Work, July 1939 (Excerpts)
Superintendent Of County Welfare, Warren County, NC.
"I doubt if there is a race of people anywhere more willing to care for unfortunate children and babies than is the Negro."
"They will often take them at great sacrifice and hardship to themselves and treat them as their own. As a rule, no questions are asked as to the child's background and parentage. They seem to be more interested in the age, sex, and color of the child than anything else. In Warren County, the supply could generally meet the demand!"
"I was told that Warren County at one time had the highest percentage of Negro population of any county in the state, nearly 70%. A goodly portion of these were intelligent and cooperative. Practically all of them were loyal friends to anyone whom they thought interested in their welfare. When it comes to doing without things which we consider necessities, they can take it without complaining. As a rule, Negroes have a keen sense of humor that helps them over the rough places in life. When grief and sadness come to them, they suffer intensely, but it usually is short-lived."
"The generous and understanding cooperation, as well as the loyalty shown me by my friends, both white and colored, can never be forgotten. I shall always cherish this memory with a deep appreciation and with an abiding faith in the citizenship of Warren, my beloved county."
"I shall always number some of the Negroes of Warren County among my best friends."
(Aunt Lucy was a terrible driver. She could not learn how to back, so she finally had the rear of the garage removed so she could pull straight through! When she drove down Mosby Avenue in Littleton, she always stayed precisely in the middle of the road, and everyone would pull over to the side of the road in fear of their life! BT)
