Race traitor card-playing e-mail of the day
A race-obsessed journalist who works for Pacifica Radio tells me how I’m supposed to think, act, and write. “Don’t forget you’re brown,” she scolds.
Oh, thanks for reminding me, sister. I know you and “your people” won’t let me forget that skin color is supposed to dictate ideology. I’ve been hearing it for 20 years.

signed-by yahoo.comi’ve read your stories throughout the years.
and i have to say, from one pinay journalist to another, you embarrass me and you embarrass our people.
i’m sorry the US media has used you, larry elders and other conservative drones of color to bolster their quota numbers.
what we need are more conscious journalists of color, not just another mainstream token acting as a cheerleader for the conservative right.
hopefully someday, you will find genuine connections with others and see how much damage you have done with your recklessly crafted pieces.

From the ladies web site. I am not suprised with hate like this.
I guess I have been wrong all these years, thinking that we are first and foremost Americans.
Hang in there Michelle…whatever color you are!
Wonder if Ms. Albano is emulating ee cummings in her refusal to use proper capitalization.
What a joke. “Think like we think or else we’ll demonize you!”
Real tolerant. Real progressive.
When someone calls you a race traitor, you’re probably doing the right thing.
How can an Albino be black? oh, Albano, neeeeeeeevermind.
I did have to look up what Pinay meant.
Disgusting. The sad thing is that you probably get a lot of these emails and don’t post them.
Does her shift key not work? Sentences start with CAPITAL letters! I can’t take someone seriously if they cannot even bother to try to be professional.
Michelle,
This poor person can not type or have spell check. Not to worry, many love you. Just keep being you.
L
Leilani Albano, raising the phrase
“Doesn’t Get It”
to soaring new heights.
Michelle,
Thank you for damaging me.
thank you michelle for your critical thinking skills and relying on them as the base of your journalism. i for one, as a person of multi-racial background, am tired of the you must think based upon the color of your skin mantra.
keep up the good work.
Malaking gaga.
There’s a black “journalist” in Wilmington, NC that refuses to capitalize “white”, but always capitalizes “Black” when referring to race. He says it’s to symbolize…something (I can’t remember). I have decided to always capitalize “White” and never capitalize “black” since I’m a proud blue-eyed White devil!!!! Muhahahahahah
Now we can ad Cheerleader to the list. “Give Me A “F”. Give Me a “U”. Give me a “C”………
F.U. Leilani.
When I was growing up in the 60′s, we were told not to judge people by the color of their skin. These same people today do just that! How disgusting!
her web site says:
Free speech radio news
yeah this is free speech Orwell would understand all too well…
some pigs are more equal than others…
I’m exhausted from dealing with stupid people. Don’t even want to know what “pinay” means. Probably just tick me off.
Michelle,
Thank you for all you do.
You judge people by the content of their character.
Those who judge people by the color of their skin will never understand…
Yawn.
Michelle, please be sure to keep that e-mail as a reminder that you’re doing the right thing.
Wow, check out the stuff on their website:
Links to Specials about “Winter Soldier” BS, even a writer/COP KILLER residing currently on Death Row. Here’s his wikipedia
My Pinay wife is a conservative, now I guess I am going to have to go home tonight and tell her she is a race traitor. I do not think that will set well with her. Keep up the good work Michelle, you have a lot of fans out here that value your thoughtful journalism. My family is just one example.
dear self-hating brown woman,
i’ve read your stories for years as you earned a living and have been disappointed that you feel a job is the way to help yourself up the white man’s ladder.
you’re a token, nothing more, nothing less. well maybe less. when we want you to think for yourself we will tell you what and when.
hopefully someday you will realize that if God wanted you to think for yourself he wouldn’t have made you brown and i bet you fail to see the logic in that. it’s all about color, not ideas.

Last time, I promise.
“Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
1 Samuel 16:7
Since the only race worth worrying about is the human race, who are you supposed to have betrayed us to? The martians?
Buster, in “The Killer Angels” (book) or “Gettysburg” (movie) said it best: “Any man who judges by the race is a pea wit. You take men one at a time.”
I’m half-hispanic. (I guess that makes me light-brown.)
The day I ask for, accept, or do anything based on my ethnic heritage is the day I tell the world “I give up! I can’t succeed without preferential treatment. The racists were right!”
Things are not going well for me, but I’ll live in a cardboard box before I give up my pride in my parents’ peoples!
She’s a joornulist for sure !
Ten to one odds that this chick has got serious investments back in the Philippines and when she retires that’s where she will go to live like a queen. This is what Amerika haters do. She needs to be aware of the stratified world she is helping to create.
Well she told you, Michelle, I guess you are about to change your positions on everything now that she has reminded you of your skin tone.
Those not familiar with Pacifica and live within range of it’s five stations, for some amusing listening tune in for a bit. It’s where Stalinists, moon children, conspiracy nuts and race hustlers all come together to whine and, just below the surface, fight amongst themselves. If you want a cross-section of the moral decay and intellectual inanity of the hardcore left, there’s no better place to find it. Just remember it’s NOT a satire.
I’m Rinso-white….
and I get hateful looks all the time. I think it’s because I can’t rock my sundress on Rodeo Drive.
Racism is alive and well, but in the liberal media, not among conservatives. We frankly just don’t care what color you are. I’ve been reading Liberal Fascism, and boy did Jonah Goldberg hit the nail on the head. It’s the so-called liberals that are warped by these ideologies, not true conservatives (the classical liberals — the Left stole our designation and ruined it!)
I wonder if she sees the irony of this statement?
I guess she hasn’t received her copy of the Democrat Race Baiters Playbook.
How dare you, have a belief system that doesn’t dovetail with some others, who may not be white.
What do you think you are? A mature, independent, intelligent woman who loves her country and her concepts of freedom over her skin tone?
I know every day, I check my skin tone, take a poll of fellow people who share my ethnic origins and only then decide what to think of an issue.
Of course, if I have been to the beach and gotten a tan, or had ethnic food within 24 hours, I might effect my views on War, Death Penalty, and oddly Milk Subsudies.
Race, gender and class determine everything for leftists. Not that anyone on the left has even a touch of class….
For all of you who aren’t married to Filipinas or Filipinos “Pinay” just means a female from the Philippines. A male is a “Pinoy.”
And “Anglos” are just called “Joe” in the baranguay as in “Hey, Joe, you got gum?”
I am getting the same comments from people in my city because I am of olive-skin American of Cuban parents.
They tell me to support people of my skin color and heritage.
I am sick of it. I have a senator who is Cuban American as myself in NJ, Robert Menendez and I refuse to vote for that fool. He is liberal and extremely wrong on the issues. Why should I vote for someone that does not represent my beliefs? I am not for identity politics.
True equality is merit based and color blind. This proves once again that race, creed, and color matter most to those whom have the most to gain by peddling hate and misery… usually liberals. I am White, and my wife is Asian. When we want to know who the racists are, we look around, and it is the one pointing at her or me and crying Racist. It is our problem for a minute; it is their problem for the rest of their life.
“and i have to say, from one pinay journalist to another, you embarrass me and you embarrass our people.”
If anyone embarrasses “her people” then it is narrow-minded liberal drones like Ms. Albano who expect all people “of color” to think and act a certain way. Is not the Philippines a generally conservative Catholic country (at least in Luzon and Visayas) that values tolerance and diversity? Ms. Albano does nothing to honor her country or her people by taking cheap shots at others because their political beliefs differ from hers.
Incidentally, the Philippines have had at least two female presidents. Wonder if their opposition called them “pigs” and if they were treated as reprehensibly as Palin has?
MM, are you writing your columns:
1) while you run with a pair of scissors?
2) within an hour of eating lunch?
3) at the same time you are driving and texting other cheerleaders?
Please quit recklessly crafting!
(what a dimbulb).
This Pinay quasi-reporter works at a station that has a section dedicated to Mumia, of all people.
“His 1982-murder trial and subsequent conviction have been the subject of great debate.”
The only debate is why the murderer wasn’t executed immediately after conviction.
Ms. Brown-skinned can be conscious of her pigmentation all she wants. The rest of us will continue to live life the way we always have: by judging folks on their words and deeds, not their skin color.
God forbid!!!!
Applying Leilani Albano’s logic Barak Obama is is an embarassment to his white relatives including his white mother and “typical” white grandmother. ‘d ba? (Tagalog contraction for “hindi ba?” meaning is it not so — I wouldn’t want Lelani Albano to think I was not multi-cultural enough to understand her “hate whitey” comments.)
Oh Michelle, just give your kids a hug and ignore that nasty, jealous woman.
Free speech for her, but not you I guess.
Michelle,
I’m so white that I’m pale blue as only a redhead engineering geek can be.
Young lady…since I found you, you’ve become one of my heroes. For who you are. For what you believe. For how you got to where you are today. Bless you.
Respectfully,
Mike
TexasEngineer
This is what liberals do when they can’t argue the issues.
I have a liberal bro in law and every time we get into a political discussion (I try to avoid them, but he is married to my left wing sister)when we reach the point that he can no longer put some logic into his argument, he tells me George Bush is a Fascist.
I have yet to convince him that Bush is not on the ticket this year and therefore a non-issue. He’s convinced that Bush is going to somehow declare a state of emergency and suspend the election, maintaining his power.
Not that this has anything to do with color, but the same mentality.
LOL – an unsuccessful “pinay journalist” telling a successful American jounalist “the way things really are“. Well, the way things really are in her own private La-La Land, at least. But being the committed – or likely to be committed – fringe left journalist, I imagine her jealousy is of the appropiate Politically Correct “green” variety. You go, girl!
Kinda figure the ones who always inject race/ethnicity into the conversation, or graduated with a BA in “of Color” Studies, are usually the racists.
Translation from the original:
“Michelle:
Those of us who have come to believe that wearing the yoke is making some kind of fashion statement are resentful toward uppity brown women like you — who obviously don’t know the minority feminine joys of doing what you’re told and not having to think for yourself.
Where’s your slave collar, and why don’t you wear it proudly like we do? Massa’s very upset with you. But if you’ll just come back to the plantation and submit to the harness, all will be forgiven.
Sincerely,
Leilani Albano”
I’d roll on the floor if Michelle showed up at her next appearance on FOX in a cheerleader outfit.
I don’t think I would ever stop laughing.
For some odd reason Obama wants to run against Palin, Palin’s kids, or George Bush. Can someone clue him in that he’s going to have to run agsinst John McCain sometime? If he weren’t so terrified of facing McCain in Town Hall Debates I suspect he would know that by now.
Walterc, you so need to buy him a tinfoil hat for Christmas and an annotated copy of the Constitution.
Michelle:
When I was traveling in the PI, the word was pinoy, not “pinay”. Is this e-mailer an ignorant troll?
So, are most “journalists of color” in a coma or something?
MICHELLE:
Like, get with the program, Sista’!
You’re supposed to “bolster their quota numbers”!!
THEN, everything would be juuuuuuuuusssstttt fine….
/s
Michelle,
Don’t you know you have strayed off the liberal plantation?
Actually, I think Michelle did perform a cheer on a HotAir segment some time ago. But, I don’t recall if she actually wore a cheerleader uniform….
Well, see for yourself. http://hotair.com/archives/2007/04/25/the-defeatocrats-cheer/
Leilani Albano is just envious Michelle has the pimped out whip with the spinnin’ wheels and she drives a Hyunadai.
Well I am green! And due to my Italian roots I also turn very brown in the spring and summer. Good to know that I am in good company! LOL!
Mega, mega dittos to this!
There are days when I have been low and you come here and laugh at the Left and the responses via MM and HotAir people. Things look up, you become more educated and feel better about being proactive when action is needed. I would say Michelle is a tremendous success!
The liberals continue to reveal their racism and true bigotry.
Well, at least Leilani “of color” Albano didn’t use the word “peminism.”
I here I thought the left loved it when institutions used individuals “of color” to bolster their quota numbers.
More and more, I see the left as the promoters of class distinctions, racism and divisiveness in general. These are the tactics espoused by leftist revolutionaries to render societies incapable of defending themselves from their predation.
As we used to say where I grew up. Too much pilikia! Mo’ bettah dey get mo’ aloha. We all stay people, people. No difference on da inside.
Just a dumb pake Kama’aina’s opinion.
I wonder if Obama-supporting White (heh) pundits get nasty emails from Klansmen reminding them that they’re are White and thus shouldn’t be saying nice things about Obama lest they be a race-traitor?
From letters and emails that you receive and from what is seen in the DNC videos, it seems like you have all the different races pretty well covered on a “people that hate you list”.
It seems to me you are being the “whipping boy” for all of us that don’t share the liberal point of view.
Thanks for your service.
Pinoy = male
Pinay = female
But that doesn’t mean she isn’t an ignorant troll, or “bru” (short for “bruha”) as they say around the corner of Taft and Libertad.
As if…
Questions for Leilani Albano. If Michelle Malkin’s kids run for office can they run as Asians — like Obama can run as a black?
Or, as in the case with Obama is the race of the female parent not taken into account? Isn’t that sexist?
What if a child has black father and a white mother like Obama but the father is conservative? Would the offspring be black or white? If you, Leilani had a kid with a father of another race would that kid be Asian or the race of the father?
It is all so confusing!
Wouldn’t it be easier to call them Americans and judge them by their character?
It would be interesting to have Leilani Albano explain why being a pinay means that you have to be a socialist.
Someone should let Larry Elder know that he’s been cloned since she believes there is more than one.
It’s telling that Leilani thinks in terms of “bolstering quota numbers”. Projection hurts.
As bad as it is to be a white, Anglo, Christian male, Mrs. Malkin has it worse.
I mean, I can’t help being a narrow-minded, racist, homophobe. But, as a “journalist of color” Mrs. Malkin should know better.
Asians are brown?
Michelle is brown??!!??!
When did this happen?
So.. you became a journalist/commentator when you turned 9?
oh.. oh!
i want a pony!
(i can’t type uppercase because my capslock broke)
Typical white person thing to say….
from purplepeep
to Leilani Albano
No one’s ever read anything you’ve wrote throughout the years.
And I have to say, from one wanna-be journalist to another, you embarrass me and you embarrass all real journalists with your lack of basic punctuation skills.
I’m sorry the US media used you, Geraldo and other lefty drones of color to bolster their quota numbers.
What we need are more conscious journalists of any color who possess common sense, not just another liberal token acting as a cheerleader for the deranged anti-America left.
Hopefully, someday, you will find genuine connections with reality and see how much damage you could have done with your poorly written pieces had anyone ever read them.
Wow, this women not only owes MM an apology but us out here in the hinterlands. I am white as a sheet (can we use white and sheet in the same sentence?)and found this racist e-mail offensive.
MM,
You must be right on target as you seem to be still taking flak.
Wow! Mz. Albano takes NBC to task for dismissing Olbermann and Matthews as anchors….
http://blogs.uscannenberg.org/leilani_albano/2008/09/olberman-and-matthews-demoted.html
Peak into her mind if you are very brave.

This shows how dictatoral the soclists are. I also thought the letter was a poor example of professional writing.
What are all his ‘people of color’ phrases? Could it be Prejudice?
The left will spend hours and dollars in a tanning booth getting a “sexy” tan. Michelle has a sexy tan by nature. Which has the greater beauty?
Opps *socialists
Can’t we just all get along?
I guess it all depends on whether they went to the beach and used enough sunblock or not.
Michelle – I sure wish the media could decide once and for all what color you are. Then they can inform you and you can act accordingly.
Reminds me of a SouthPark episode (Yes, I have seen SouthPark) where Cartman doesn’t know who his dad is, so each time he thinks he’s found out (first Indian, then black) he takes on the stereotypical persona of that race.
Sad that the left truly expects that. No individual thinking allowed. Only groupthink based on skin color or sexual identity.
I’m glad you’ve helped corrupt me oh great leader… To honor you, do I light incense, smoke a peace pipe or play some rap music… I need to know since I can’t make my own decisions. I can only follow you.
Asian American Studies? Obsessed with your “brownness” by chance?
Sound like a race baiting sister of Michelle Robinson Obama, African American Studies major.
By the way, I once used instant tanning lotion and turned orange… what are orange people supposed to think?
My wife is brown too (Indonesian). I suppose I need to run downstairs and tell her to stop disliking Obama. Too bad that she came to this country, and became a conservative (becauses she enjoys American History). Now, I’ll have to explain to her that she is a traitor. Such a bitter pill to swallow will go down much easier, when I tell her that Michelle is a traitor too.
See comment #34. Pinoy refers to a male (lalaki). Pinay refers to a female (babae).
Hang in there Michelle. Consider how fortunate you are that you are not like these “unhinged” types — all they have is their hatred, and they are consumed by it.
My collie says:
Wait, I hate to confuse everything but if “gender” is a “social construct” then isn’t “race” also a “social construct?”
I mean shouldn’t we all get to decide what race we are too? All this fuss over a little melanin…. Can’t I be a “person of color” if I feel like a “person of color?”
I took a look at the stationsd list that this ‘radio personality’ broadcasts on. Most are low-wattage college (50 watt or less with a tail wind) type stations and about a 10% are NPR affiliates. I wouldn’t worry too much about what Leilani Albano has to say – nutroots with nothing better to do than eat granola and smoking rope are her primary audience. Big woop.
From the letter:
“what we need are more conscious journalists of color”
Perhaps if Leilani were conscious she would realize that it is she who is used politically. But then again, to make such pathetic arguments in her letter, its best to leave minds like that unconscious.
Paging Dr. King, paging Dr. King……
LOL Good comparison, I saw that Southpark episode also. I have also seen people make those exact same adaptions in real life. Guess what all their political beliefs were?

I wasn’t trying to stir up controversy, nor was I trying to not get along. I happen to be one of Michelle’s biggest fans, and will go out of my way to tune in a broadcast where she is a guest.
Let me remind you that it was you who said that I sounded like a typical white person.
As a “typical white person” I just find it curious that some people call Asians brown. Apparently, then, anyone who is not white is brown?
One more thing!
I just got back from the grocery store where 4 magazines in a row were:
People – Sarah and Trig on cover with negative headline
National Enquirer – Palin’s Dark Secret
US – Well, you know that one.
OK – Sarah and Trig – Something about Sarah’s scandal and her ‘painful choice’
Unreal…
Don’t be a token person of orange color, Joy. Resist!
Is anyone here old enough to remember Don Marquis’ “archy and mehitabel”? Archy didn’t use caps, either, when he typed. But then he couldn’t–he was a cockroach. Can’t imagine what made me think of that.
Don’t take her seriously Michelle. We white people still like you.
I don’t know WHAT color I am. I’m sorta calico.
purplepeep – What are purple people supposed to think?
Purple People Unite! No Dissent Now!
Caught in the middle?
Farmers and construction workers.
White in the winter and brown in the summer.
What does this do to leftie grouping?
Michelle, I thank God for you – and I thank you for not being a pinay, and for being an honest and patriotic American who knows the difference and lives it.
The trouble with your critic is clear. Hating God and and His moral law leaves her barbarous and uncivilized.
