New Book: Glen Rice Involved With Sarah Palin in 1987

Oh, and Lakeshow – Palin’s “smarter than your average woman”?
Word? Come on now.
Cause she’s a politician doesn’t make her super-intelligent.
She might be shrewd, and business-savvy but come on.
Five different colleges to earn her Bachelor’s, the most prestigious of which was the University of Idaho.
She never went on to earn a Master’s.
Nbk touched on some of the idiotic statements she’s made over the years, and there’s plenty more.

I didn’t mean racism, I meant a racial issue. my bad
-And it was with the wording “McGinniss claims Sarah had a steamy interracial hookup with basketball stud Glen Rice”
- He explained why interracial was included to another commenter.
-Then you came in and told Allen “A world where everyhting has a race basis. Eww no thanks. I’ll stay invested in a ridiculous reality where color of skin isn’t an issue…”

Sarah Palin is an idiot too. Just because you’re successful, and conned some people into thinking you know anything about politics doesn’t mean your “smarter then the average man/woman”.

Seriously, this post should have been followed by a lot of funny comments. Let me summarize the racism discussion: there are a lot of racists in the US. The end. Now let’s get back to the jokes about nailing Palin.

Bachelors Degree = Work Ethic. Not intelligence

1. I never mentioned Serena Williams.
2. I never called Bill Walton a racist.
You need to summarize mypoints better before you object to them. Bottom line, you don’t like how I think or how I express my thoughts. That is the gist of this situation..

Most republicans aren’t even true conservatives–they’re neo-conservatives. Which is why the neo-cons at FOX News h@te it when a real conservative (aka constitutionalist) like Ron Paul comes along once every ten years.

Oh… MAN I missed this one. So many things I wanted to say.
LakeShow: I agree with you about the Bill Walton thing, man. I really think Allen simply doesn’t like Bill Walton and let his hate cloud his judgement.
But the Serena thing is realllllly sketchy. There was a Fox early morning news show host who actually said “Is Serena trying to invoke some race thing here?” when she heard Serena call the ref a hater. The media’s reaction should be “awww, pity, it ruined her good girl image” and not “whoaaaaa this woman is the role model for our kids??”
It’s also hard, cause the world is unique— many people are simply shocked at Williams’ behavior, others are incredibly racist and are jumping out of their seats to shout “TOLD YOU SO!!!”
Me? I don’t care. I think it should have been an ESPN sidenote. Nothing should have come out of it. It’s just all very odd.

Williams probably didn’t show herself in the greatest light. But i like the fact that athletes act out at times. Great entertainment. At the end of the day her amazing ability will make sure her legacy all good. A few incidents with an umpire wont change that.

This is the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time.

Doesn’t a Bachelors degree require a lot of money? Cause it’s USA.

yea i listen to npr everyday, and it’s an oft repeated fact as of late that white fams in the usa make ON AVERAGE 20 TIMES as much money as black fams in the usa. thats the largest disparity between the two OF ALL TIME, coincidentally. What that means is that blacks are making a smaller fraction of what whites are making than we did when we were living under jim crow…I don’t understand how people like lakeshow, if they did even a minimal amount of paying attention to the facts, can conclude that racism is no longer prevalent in this country. Open your eyes people. Allenp speaks Truth on race issues, you’re just too darn stuck in your comfortable worldview to accept that not everywhere in the usa is as “progressive” as the seattle metropolitan area (which i’ve been to, and will vouch for as being a very harmonious place, racially–at least on the surface anyway). When you’ve got such a big disparity in wealth, how can it be argued that there’s no “race problems” anymore?

@z: i totally agree on that. but pointing out “interracial” relationships is not a step into the right direction. stomping social borderlines in the heads of the people would be a good step into the right direction to overcome segregation. one of the reasons why too many black people in the us dont have a chance to participate in the formal work markets is that they are being marginalized by the white establishment and so by the mass media. if you/they dont start re-thinking society over there on a social and cultural basis, the economical sector wont follow. the economy shouldnt have undisputed power neither. the state should force the economy to pay more taxes and restrict them a bit more in order to have more money to found a wellfare state that would help the “under class” overcoming financial and social borderlines would be necessary. but then the republicans

would shout out loud “communism” because they cant tell social responsibilty within the economic and political sector. obama allready tried to do that but then the republicans outmanouvered him to the disatvantage of the majority of the people. the state is broke anyway due to two illegal and extremely costly wars (thanks george w jr) and a financial crash when the stock market collapsed as a result of good old republican predatory-capitalism. the world is a bad bad place. emigrate to europe as long as you still can lol

depends on where you go: germany and the scandinavian countries are still stable and are helping to rescue the broke n corrupt countries like greece or spain.

lol i know that weed situation too well, i sometimes got asked too when i was wearing baggypants. and as i said there is still racism all over the world. im not a patriot neither i hold it with oscar wilde “patriotism is the virtue of the vicious” and i also hope that the usa will be able to remain its superior power on the world stage… just less conservative/republican. and wellfare states function very well in public, germany and the scandinavian states are the living proof. england and france decreased their wellfare systems and the london / british riots were the latest result of that.

for example: over here it doesnt matter if your family is rich or poor, everybody has the same chance to study and have a good future coz if youre broke you get a cheap credit to go to university if you want to. sure, amongst lower classes are more problems and lower chances at all compared to wealthy classes. but the equality of the people is at a much higher degree than in non wellfare states. and sorry im not an anti-american (as it became fashionable during the last decade) but predatory capitalism was re-invented during the last century in the usa and spread among the whole post-colonial world. now it suffers from it because capitalism doesnt work same as cumminism, both just work theoretically. a healthy mix of free economy and social responsability due to state controll is the key. in this setting anti-racist campaigns have more chance to bloom than in a setting in wich the rich knockaround the poor as u can see it today in any capitalist states.

Allen, are you serious about the backlash against muslims in Europe? Coming from an American, that is just plain ridiculous. Yea, there’s obviously some whackos and racism is alive and well all over the world, but seems to me that you think everything happens “cause I’m black”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q17z3UqLeHI watch that.

Also the reason for the income disparitiy in today’s America is because of the private education system. You need a good education to get a good job, and to get a good education in USA, you need money. So it’s very hard to get a good education if you happen to be born to poor parents. It’s not really up to you in that situation.
Now we all know that blacks were kept poor cause of their skin color, and when that stopped being the norm, the system was already like this.
So now people don’t technically have to be racist to keep the disparities of income this big between different ethnicities.
And it’s not big just between blacks and whites, I mean overall the disparity of income is on the same level as in friggin Uganda.

THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES.

RUSH THE EARTH ON BY… PLANET SPIN…………

Enigmatic- hahaa he was so tired & fatigued that he forgot how many states we have?
yeah, that’s believable.

Or maybe he’s just not to bright without a teleprompter.

ScottyBoi is probably a conspiracy theorist, and thinks Obama was really talking about the 57 islamic states. The dude made a mistake, like a human being, he just happens to be president, move on to something relevant, like Sarah Palin’s sex life

I don’t even like Obama. lol – I also don’t like any other presidential candidate since I started “kind of” following politics. But I’m like you, not going to focus on something this insignificant. Obama has proven his intelligence to me, its his leadership that I question, but I am not in any place to judge him as a good or bad president at this point.

@nbk: the problem why obama cant come thrrough with his policy is that the republicans still have too many votes and power in congress to outmanouver him. its unbelievable to the rest of the world i think, that there are still people on this planet who vote republicans even though they are able to read, write and solve the task 1+1=?…

@enigmatic: sure, i know that. but there is just no alternative over there.
