Wait a minute Sarah Palin just said tea party people don't care that Obama is half white?

What the fuckety fuck?

Although Obama, acknowledges his mixed parentage, he identifies himself as an African American. Anytime folks go around calling him half white or half Black it is intended as a diss.

2. The only folks who make that distinction are folks who want to diminish him. . .

He identifies himself as African American, not half Black or half white.

If folks didn't know his bio they would call him Black, not half white. She said that shit on purpose.

Folks of mixed race or in my case mixed heritage want to be identified as we identified ourselves. If Obama walked around calling himself half white that would be fine, but he doesn't.

5. Yep, that's the same "logic"

that our local bigots rely on. As in, "I'm not a bigot against anyone who is half white". Seriously, they have said that and then gotten mad when we can't contain the guffaw. It's only a desire for self preservation that keeps me from asking if it was their half-stupid self that made that distinction.

6. And is racism.

And racists in America have never cared about "half-White" or any amount "White," only skin color.

The hubris with being the queen idiot of the most mind numbingly mean spirited of a party based in mean spirit really leaves this lady without any idea of how out of tune this kind of crape is ...

11. Here is a link to a HuffPo story as well as vid on it, I will cut the clip down and post

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/14/sarah-palin-defends-tea-p_n_645883.html

"No, the Tea Party Movement is a beautiful movement, full of diverse people, diverse backgrounds. Folks of all walks of life who, for the most part, happen to oppose President Obama's policies. Not the color of his skin. They don't care that he's half white or half black."

9. Sarah Palin is dumb enough to believe the

PR the MSM gives her. If she had any sense she would have stayed governor of Alaska and asked the people to forgive her. This is not going to last long and then she will rue it the rest of her life.
