  1. LOL!!! Nice cherry picking there, but it wont fly.

    The same site claims that someone who discriminates on the basis of religion is racist:

    2. racist - discriminatory especially on the basis of race or religion

    Sorry, but me preferring my hypothetical daughter to have a white mate isn't "racist", hateful, or bigoted at all, and in fact the vast majority of people agree with me, as the marriage statistics reveal. LOL!!

  3. Yes, and out of the 6 different definitions you cherry pick the one you like.

    So, black people have darker skin than white people. Therefore, they have more melanin. Therefore, I believe black people are less likely to develop skin cancer from sun exposure. I likewise believe white people are likely absorb vitamin D more easily on average. So I guess that makes me, along with every doctor and scientist on Earth a "racist" too!!

    But look!! Turns out that Affirmative Actions IS racist by your definition after all... LOL!!! How about that?! :D :p

    rac·ism
    noun /ˈrāˌsizəm/ 

    The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races

    Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on such a belief


    I never claimed that one race was "superior" to another. Everyone is within their rights to have preferences for qualities of their own mates or the mates of their family members. There's nothing "racist" about it.

    How the hell does she stay popular with the Tea Party when her family act like that. Didn't she and her husband or ex husband both have affairs with other people too. I don't understand unless I have misread what the Tea Party is.

  7. A part of me thinks Bristol did this on purpose, to further expose what is really going behind the scenes:)

  8. Maybe this was all a planned side show to keep Palin in the spotlight. Bad press is better than no press right?

  9. Well, I'm by no means a Sarah Palin fan. However, there's nothing immoral or unethical about wanting to only seek mates within your ethnic group, and wanting that for your children. There's no "hate" in that whatsoever. It's sad that we live in a day and age where people need to justify wanting to preserve the ethnicity, character, and identity of their family.

    Besides, I don't see that there's anything which suggests that Sarah Palin is upset because the kid is black.

    Perhaps it would help her in a "parents everywhere can sympathize" way.
