Palin’s Race Record: Zilch
As the Alaska digging proceeds; not ANWR but on all things Sarah Palin, it was only a matter of time before someone dug into the possibility that she was a racist.
There’s no record that Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin uttered anything more than the obligatory complimentary congratulations to the woman that beat her out for the Miss Alaska title in 1984. The winner was Maryline Blackburn, an African American. A ritual congratulatory wish from Palin would have been about the only public acknowledgement to date from her in an instance, in this case a beauty contest, where Palin was confronted with the issue of diversity in the person of a competitor.
Since then, Palin’s record on race and diversity has been the blankest of blank sheets.
Maybe because Sarah Palin… ISN’T a racist?
Shudder the thought.

What that means is that they went looking with a lice comb.

OMG, you mean she just judges people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin? OFF with her head!

Wait a second! I thought Maher said there aren’t any black people in Alaska. Or was that Puffy? I get my idiots confused.

You telling me that she hasn’t said anything bad either?

What? How dare she not be racist! How does her not being a racist help Michelle’s kids?
