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.

subject don’t forget you’re brown
mailed-by yahoo.com
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.
See what others have said

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.
I AM MICHELLE’S BIGGEST FAN! So watch it, buddy!
Okay, I was being facetious with the “typical white person” thing there, dude. Sorry if that didn’t come across.
First, there is really no such thing as “Asian.” And there is no single “color” that you can associate with “Asian.”
Ironically, they have “skin bleaching” salons all over Manila so people can lighten their skin in exactly the same way we have “tanning salons” here where some try to darken their skin.
And I know more than one Filipina who has had cosmetic surgery to make her eyes rounder rather than almond shaped.
Go figure.
In the same vein as Cicero’s post
And we white folks will take care of you Michelle!! Don’t you worry! /sarc
Yeck – I don’t like channelling Baba Wawa… It left a distictly racist taste in my mouth.
What a racist. All white people don’t have the same feelings, why should people of color?
People are people, regardless of skin color, all with different minds and beliefs. To assume all people of any race should think the same is the height of stupidity.
Clearly you have missed the point.
Of course, white people have different “feelings.” Good white people are liberals who are no longer racists.
Bad white people are conservatives who are bloodthirsty racists intent on enslaving the world.
People of color cannot be racists so they must all think alike.
Is that more clear now?
I think if you remember the original you’ve won the coveted commenter “Geezer” crown, mushroom!
I’m actually much more the anti-grammer/punctuation/typo cop type, but unless a lass is an e.e. cummings imitator writing for her middle-school paper she should avoid composing all-lowercase diatribes.
(Though I did enjoy this gal’s green-tinged love note to Michelle for the giggles it provided.)
Filipinos have been referred to as such, and have referred to themselves as such, for quite a long time.
I know Filipinos that consider themselves Asians, and others (like my girlfriend) who consider themselves “Pacific Islander.” The Census Bureau of the Federal Government falls into the Asian camp. In fact, my girlfriend (a conservative I might add) has actually said “I’m not yellow, I’m brown.”
That’s the problem with the big encompassing general racial categories – and the vague tribalism of the left – specific cultural attributes tend to be overlooked in favor of categories of perceived “discrimination.” Various cultures tend to get lumped together to promote the concept of victimhood – ignoring the in the process the actual uniqueness and beauty of individuals and cultures.
The Philippines are 95% catholic. I’m 95% sure that Leilani is catholic. Hey Leilani, how can you as a catholic vote for ANYONE who is pro-abortion? How can you be pro-abortion? I’m thru with this one.
Just wondering what if this squeasle said the same thing to Thomas Sewell or Walter Williams
no what we need are more people like Michele who report the stories that doesn’t gloss over the facts or twist them beyond recognition…thanks Michele, we love you and think your just fine the way you are!!!
Depends on if they are one-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple people eaters or those who composed a great 1970s pro football defensive line. The issue of purple identity politics is the cause of much debate and bad feelings in the purple people community.
By the way, remember when JF Kerry was a person of orange color in 2004? Looked like another bottle-tan gone bad.
Michelle,
While it’s sad, very sad, that you have embarassed Albano’s crowd, on the other hand our crowd is pretty damned well pleased with you. And no, it’s not just because you’re hot babe. That would be Shallow, Sexist, and Wrong and, of course, we’re above such bias, far above it. I’m a little offended that anyone would even think such a thing. We’re just glad to see the conservative positions so forthrightly advocated. Hotness doesn’t enter in.
If Sarah Palin teaches us anything, it’s that you know you are cutting to the lefty quick when the nutcases come out of the woodwork and start spitting their venom at you. Think how alarming it would be if a race-baiting boob like Leilani Albano sent you a fan letter on Pacifica Radio stationery! You’d know you’d done something wrong then. You should sleep well tonight knowing that you are agitating the agitators who want all their pundits color-coded and kept in their politically-correct lanes.
I’m also wondering how many generations distance from your ancestral country of origin does it take for racist buffoons like Albano to consider you American? When does a pinay or pinoy become a Yankee? I’m thinking the moment they get off the boat. In fact, there are many people around the world who are American in everything but geography.
When Albano attempts to pigeonhole people by ethnic groups, she is advocating an inferior form of social organization, the kind of kinship based on race, religion, and clan that is beneath the American ideal of government devoted only to the protection of individual life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Albano would prefer a more Neanderthal culture, as backward as the Wahhabis.
Michelle, baby, go forth with a happy heart knowing that you are ticking off all the right people.
Here comes the rest of the sentence (just ignore the period).
I find it hard to believe that much of anything could embarrass this person.
Translation: People of color can’t think for themselves. They need the white Democrat leadership to tell them what to do. Talk about drones!
I wish she was a “conscious journalist” LOL!!
Hopefully, someday, you will find the SHIFT key on your keyboard.
I can be sure Michelle is not losing a lot of sleep over criticism from the paragon of token hiring.
One of my biz associates who lives in Hong Kong is of half-Chinese ancestry. I just consider her a nice person. And a babe, to boot.
What bigots such as Ms.Albano seem to ignore is the fact that when society begins to view skin color and ethnic background in the same vein as Michelle (ie: who cares?, the evil of racism will be erased.
Or course, a cynic might say that was the underlying fear of Ms. Albano……
This is a great email to have some fun with, ain’t it?
purplepeep – re John Kerry… it cuts me to the quick to realize he is one of my former color.
We didn’t agree on anything. I’m sooo confused… /sarc
Yes, I remember, that was too funny. What a joke that guy was/is. Almost the joke b. Hussein is.
I’ve gotten paper cuts but I’ve never had my quick cut. It sounds painful.
Ouch… trust me it hurts!!
While I don’t agree with everything on here and I don’t like insults, I am sorry that you have to put up with this, Mrs. Malkin. It’s sad, really, that other minorities think that you should be a Democrat because of your race.
I’m multi-ethnic, and I won’t be voting for Obama.
This surprises me because as a gay conservative I have found liberals to be very tolerant and open to my political ideology. They’re always very respectful of my opinion and think it’s wonderful that people of a “community” can disagree on matters of politics.
But really they just call me stupid and self-hating and blind and dumb and on and on and on.
They’e just doing the race baiting regular Americans won’t do.
Did someone already note she has a degree in Asian-American studies? How does that qualify one to be a reporter? What do you study in AA studies?
Isn’t that the truth! People like this just make it too easy.
I can only wonder what her job is at that radio station.
Ms. Leilani Albano,
I myself am an American male of Italian descent. In the winter I’m pretty pale, except for my face and hands (it’s cold here in loony, left New England!).
But oooh in the summertime, I burn a dark red for a day or two. Quickly followed by a bronze tan that gets very brown and last through most of the fall. Also my dark brown hair lightens up a bit.
Please forward me information as to what political stances I should be taking as I morph from pastey, white guy into dark brown, goomba looking italian guy.
Leilani Albano should learn to think for herself rather than just parrot whatever she’s told to by the DNC and other assorted liberal groups.
Michelle:
Ang lingon ng lingon sa pinanggalingan ay nadadapa.
Keep up the good work and thumb your nose to detractors!
Wow! What an idiot. I don’t know where to begin. I’m a Filipino and such racist talk from Albano is disgusting. Her journalism is the politics of division and hate. She follows blindly her masters on the left without intelligent thought. Disgusting. Michelle, you are the true liberator of the oppressed, not the self-righteous Albano. I believe in Martin Luther King’s belief that there should be one America, that there should be a color blind society. Apparently Albano wants to perpetuate division and hate for political purposes.
I want Albano to answer one question. If democrats care so much about racial minorities, then why do you keep them economically oppressed? Democrats have ruled over racial minority enclaves for decades with no economic opportunity, while the democratic politicians get rich and powerful.
Black liberation theology – the gift that keeps on giving.
If the founding fathers could see how badly slavery has turned out… would they have stopped it dead? What a disaster….
The same Leftists who decry flag-waving nationalism and hate “right-wingers,” are all for black nationalism and ethnic identity politics. Group loyalty is OK as long as it’s a group the Left deems politically correct. It’s wrong to believe in blind loyalty to America, but it’s right to believe in blind loyalty to your racial group.
I’m freckled. What does that make me? I feel so lost, like I don’t really belong anywhere. Where’s my identity? What am I supposed to believe?
/sarc
My great uncle was a Jesuit missionary in the PI for over 60 years of his life. Do you think Leilani Albano reminded him he wasn’t brown?
I am gobsmacked that Michelle is only twenty-one. Such an accomplished young lady!
People like Leilani Albano claim to be all-inclusive, however they are the exact opposite. The whole notion that skin color should dictate your ideology can be found in Mein Kampf. If Ms. Albano truly cared about “her people” she would high tail it out of Los Angles, and find a job in the Philippines. She would find that the Filipinos are loosing their middle class to the rest of the world. They’re leaving because their sick, and tired of all the corruption from elected officials. So how the hell can somebody claim to care about his or her people, but watch from afar as they live in third world conditions? I’ll tell you; she was force-fed the entire socialist, Marxist bull crap for UCLA. For all her money she spent on ejakation, she writes worser than I. Ms.Albano stop being racist, your people are Americans, start acting like one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The guerilla
#121, I think she studied the leftist talking points she’s expected to spout off throughout her life, seeing how people of color obviously aren’t allowed to think for themselves.
The First Amendment knows no race or national origin. Michelle is not the first child of immigrants (legal, of course) to rise to success and she won’t be the last.
What Albano and other professional multiculturalists advocate is in fact cultural apartheid. True multiculturalism was once known as the “melting pot,” in which immigrants and their children Americanized the best features of the culture they brought with them or inherited. Thus, when Michelle got her son to sing “I’m Proud To Be an American,” she was transmitting a tradition from the Philippines in which children who are old enough to talk should be old enough to sing. And we all love her for doing that and making that tradition American. One of these days, God willing, lumpia will become as American as pizza or bagels and lox.
So, I’m Asian and conservative. So I’m stupid and an embarrassment? Sometimes I wonder if I still live in America or some bizzaro liberal altered reality? I guess that’s what their goal is. Ignorant and baseless.
Please do try to remember that it’s not the content of your mind or your character that matter. It’s the surface appearance of your skin that defines you. Or haven’t you been listening to “progressive”, “liberal” folks for the last few decades?
Ok, I’ll assume you’re serious and mean well. I think everyone has some sort of self-identity that gets shaped by their family and friends and so on. Here in Hawaii where there are many Asians, you’ll also find many ways people identify themselves. Filipinos and Filipinas might think of themselves as brown (or not), those from Japan and China and Korea might think “yellow” a stupid stereotype – unless you know them well, then they may themselves joke about it, but probably do not think of themselves as brown. Best to treat people as individuals and not try and classify them. Rest assured, if “do you see yourself as a brown person” comes out of your mouth when you first meet them, the look on their face will be one you’ve probably never seen before.
My “dear self-hating brown person” note above is my standard opening any time Michelle gets one of these ridiculous emails, and I don’t think she’s offended, I hope she laughs.
How?
Women are the most vicious to other women I’ve noticed over time. If you don’t think like them, worship the same cult idol (liberalism) you’re the most hateful being ever!
I’m really sorry Michelle that you have to deal with this. It gets old to be called, by some former friends of mine, as “not faithful to feminism.” Especially because I married and revisited a lot of my belief systems after I settled down.
These people really just need to look into their own mirror for some self-examination.
I’m guessing she filled in only on the days that Randi Rhodes called in sick with a massive hangover and missing teeth. In other words, this gal was a “full time Mon-Fri radio hostess”.
Hypocrites, one and all. They speak of tolerance, inclusion and diversity, unless you are a conservative. Then all bets are off.
Diversity only counts if it’s regarding skin color, silly.
If her e-mail is any indication, this woman’s keeping her proofreader well-employed. If the info on her bio page is any indication, they both could be looking for another job soon.
Was this a thinly-veiled plug for UPS?
What can brown do for you? Assure you
thatbrown/blue is good, brown/red is bad, and white/red is Beelzebub incarnate to black, brown, chartreuse, mahogany, fuscia, cerulean, vermillion and periwinkle.Don’t worry, this whitey, too, will take care of you, ho ho ha ha hah…
Whaddaya mean you don’t need my help?
As a certain Louisiana Army National Guard member in our midst understands, this kind of thing can’t be cured as long as people choose to think this way.
Hah! No chartreuse or vermillion on the link! Must be politically incorrect colors…
Maybe Leilani should have taken AMERICAN studies instead of hyphenating herself. If she thought of herself as an AMERICAN first, she might understand what the word means
If ANY pretender claims their ancestry to be more important than that of an AMERICAN…. If ANY pretender dares claim that America be not better than the sad and pathetic country from whence they came… if ANY pretender dares to speak ill of MY great nation, then let that pretender beware… someday, the silent majority of Americans will rise up and they will no longer be tolerated.
Let no such man be trusted.
From Los Angeles. What a surprise.
I think of myself as “icy peach”.
Who are her people?
I was thinking more that she is the coffee and vodka gopher for Randi (as in stinks) Rhodes!
I am sure she could have a great future on Springer as one of the recurring freaks…
I’m with ya. Us freckled folks, is there a place for us (singing song…. Westside Story)? I mean what happens if those freckles connect and lo and bigora, form a tan to cover my whiteness?
What if you have little birthmarks? Moles that develop over familiar freckles to provide a contrast? Will I be embraced by my local dermatologist?
I always thought that getting sunburns in the summertime and pasty white in the winter time made me kind of a chameleon. I guess I’m not special after all.
/big time sarc
I’ve spent several decades in the Orange County and L.A. areas and to my embarrassment, and I now think relief and good fortune, I never came across KPFK on the radio dial. Such an email as this makes me wonder how many years she spent working on that Bachelors Degree.
I’m just spitballing here, but it seems that once again the green-eyed monster has reared it’s, in this case, pinay head: I hate you, Michelle, because you’ve accomplished so much more than me in relatively the same amount of time, or some such thing.
Or: I realize now that I’m on a dead-end pinay road here and my degree is pretty much useless unless I go to work for, like, maybe, the UN or something, but as you can see by my attitude, grammar and writing abilities, that’s much to smart for me. Bummer!
And it’s all your fault.
@142
I’ll go one further. Unless you are a bile spitting liberal, then tolerance, inclusion and diversity doesn’t apply to you. On the left coast, even if you say you are a moderate have have moderate beliefs, the left will still brand you as a “nazi” racist… yada-yada.
According to the web site, Ms. Albano graduated from UCLA with a degree in something called “Asian-American Studies”. What the heck is that? Asian Studies is a legitimate major but “Asian American Studies” is a joke. That takes up one class. I wonder if Albano had to master a foreign language? Somehow I doubt it. Did she ever take a science Course? I doubt it. Did she ever have to take a course in classic literature. I doubt it. That would be racist. So just what courses did Ms. Albano actually take? Her major at UCLA was a joke. Not even the athletes go into that major. “

Isn’t it odd that no one who’s in concert with Michelle’s views cares one way or another what her, or anyone’s, skin color is, yet the GOP is painted as the party of bigots. The only problem race causes for me is when people identify with their skin color rather than the content of their character and then try to make that identification my problem. Let me just echo what Colin Powell said in a previous incarnation, that someone else’s racism isn’t his problem, it’s their problem. Don’t try to make your problem my problem. I won’t go there. White is just the color of my skin. And it’s more tan than white anyway.
This is the same kind of idiot who demands her color not be taken into account if THAT will benefit her.
These people are stupid and lazy.
No matter her degree, she certainly never learned to write. Or maybe not using caps is some kind of rebellion against “whitey” I was never taught in school.
HEAR HEAR i agree
OMG!!! I can’t even trust myself to comment on that unbelievable e-mail! I just can’t. It is so stupid as to defy words.
Well, by her logic, I guess I have to go join the KKK. I’m so white I wouldn’t even need a sheet.
Actually, the color of my skin depends on the time of year. After the long Minnesota winter, I am very very white. After a few weeks of summer, I become a brown person. Strange, though, my conservatism doesn’t change with the seasons.
It’s Machelle’s fault.
NO NO WAIT!
It’s Michelle’s parents fault.
A leopard
Heh. this “lady” is funded by the leftazoid Pacifica Foundation.
If you link to her bio at
http://www.fsrn.org/webdonor.htm
you see this plaintive request:
“The financially-strapped Pacifica Foundation has cut its funding to FSRN ["Free Speech Radio News"] by more than $13,100 a month. This is a devastating blow. We could soon be off the air without your help.”
BWAAAAhahahahahahahaaaa!!! Another Air America-esque LOSER!!
They also claim to be hiring — apparently for someone to sweep up and turn out the lights.
No wonder she’s pissed. She’s a FAILURE.
Why not email her saying you had planned to contribute, but the racist diatribe against Michelle changed your mind. (I used it with Us magazine. they actually wrote back to grovel
Here’s an email address to use:
prac@fsrn.org
Twist the knife!!
Takes all kinds I hear…pay attention to politics for longer than 5 minutes it becomes obvious.
I always thought you were American RED, White and Blue, Michelle. Is that not right.
We’re lucky to have to you.
I just wrote a nice, polite letter with just a little knife twist. I figure they are going to be inundated very shortly and will probably not read any of them. But it felt good to write anyway.
Question!
How many guys want to date Leilani Albano?
How many guys wish they could date Michelle Malkin?
Case.Closed.
Call me nitpicky, but why is Leilani Albano allergic to captital letters?
Leilani Albano? Any relation to Captain Lou Albano?
Also, could this be a fake email? I mean REAL journalists would know proper punctuation, capitalization, and grammar.
Or do I give “REAL journalists” too much credit?
Did anyone see “Mumia’s Commentaries”? button down on the left side of the page of the link?
Free speech all right. For cop-killers.
When I see comments from someone like Leilani Albano, I just remember what Will Rogers once said, “Everyone has the right to their opinion, but no one has the right to be taken seriously.”
Leilani works for a radio station that’s about to go off the air. Imagine, another left wing station that can’t hack it, even with the likes of an ignoramus like Leilani. Or should that be, because of an……., etc.
She’s most certainly jealous of your success Michelle, which you deserve, and only because you are an intelligent, conservative! The left will never get it about conservatives.
I have a “farmer’s tan”. Dark brown arms, red neck, and white thighs. Is this diversity? I am so confused! How I should think? How should I feel?
This Minnesota boy is pale year-round, Scrapper. I just turn a silly red in Summer. All that pale Swedish blood in my veins, ya know – uff dah!
During winter I bundle up and wonder why in the world my grandparents settled here in the first place.
(I may be one very-white boy, but I can play that funky music.)
I am ‘yellow’ and I greatly look up to you, Miss Malkin!
Everyone to purplepeep’s for potluck. The wife she’s a bringing the hot dish. I got the lefsa! That’s livin, I tell ya.
P.S. Is it okay if I wear my Aaron Rogers Jersey?
First Michelle doesn’t look like you – Michelle is beautiful, smart, spiritual, and decent and all 4 show. Michelle’s worth comes not from her skin color – but from her grey matter. It’s grey that counts – literally!
What is so remarkable is how unimportant skin color is – just solar UV protection. Look under the skin and race just doesn’t matter. What I want counted at the State Department is how many honest, decent, loyal, hardworking, and effective employees they have – they can all be black, asian,hispanic. I don’t care about color – Reverend Martin Luther King had it right – character not color.
Race quotas are all about corruption – using race in order to put money in the hands of your pals, who in turn give some back. That’s why people get so bent out of shape about race – its all about getting money they didn’t have to work for.
That’d be a great name for a band.
How the human race has devolved!
Everyone who looks the same must think the same. Sure, right…
Put that e-mail in the rubbish, along with the thinking that goes behind it. This is the twenty-first century.
LOL. With hits like
“Ditto Rush, you say it, I think it”
“Oreo not just a cookie”
“I got mine, who cares about you”
“I hate myself so I act white”
“I’m a proud banana”
“I’m too ashamed to go downtown as seeing the brothers reminds me of my own skin color” (the Country version)
“I love money more than my own people”
And the crowd favorite:
“I hate my own race so I’m voting for McCain” (Rap version)
Similar rhythm to band name “Six pence none the richer”
I had the unfortunate experience of tuning into KPFK, ONCE, and there was a guest on who was giving “proof” that the Trade Center towers were brought down by a controlled demolition. Not sure if it was the same lady who was hosting the show, but suffice it to say the whole station is a collection of complete liberal, racist, conspiracy theorist whackjobs. Progressive, my **s.
Michelle, you are one brave woman for putting up with all of these characters. God bless you.
According to these people, IF a baby is allowed to be born, it is issued a thought/behavior manual for ‘brown’ people along with marching orders.
What can people do to fight this kind of dementia?
That author’s condecension is so thick you could cut it with a knife!
Well, tho it’s pronounced “lef-sa”, it’s spelled “lefse”, Flyover. Oddly enuf, there really is some in stocked in my fridge now & then! (Store-bought – but my grammas used to bake it on the top of their wood-stoves.)
Since the name isn’t ringing any bells right now – sure, why the heck not.
Of course, along with the lefse y’all would get a BIG helping of Lutefisk. (That should stop anyone from barging in for food!!!)
To clue you in, just in case the dish is new to you, here’s a snippet from one “review” of some poor unwary soul’s encounter with the culinary delight:
“The moment every traveller lives for is the native dinner where, throwing caution to the wind and plunging into a local delicacy which ought by rights to be disgusting, one discovers that it is not only delicious but that it also contradicts a previously held prejudice about food, that it expands ones culinary horizons to include surprising new smells, tastes, and textures.
Lutefisk is not such a dish.
Lutefisk is instead pretty much what you’d expect of jellied cod; it is a foul and odiferous goo, whose gelatinous texture and rancid oily taste are locked in spirited competition to see which can be the more responsible for rendering the whole completely inedble.
How to describe that first bite? Its a bit like describing passing a kidneystone to the uninitiated.”
“The Power Of Lutefisk”
When anyone’s “our people” is based on race, they are proclaiming they are racists. Michelle is an American, and does not identify herself by ethnicity. Only racists do that.
Google Leilani Albano and see what comes up.
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out Albano’s motive for picking this fight. Michelle’s dining on lobster while Leilani’s choking down cat food.
She probably figures that she’ll raise her profile and make some friends in the industry by making an enemy of our erstwhile host. She wants to be the Anti-Malkin, just like Olberman dreams of being the Anti-O’Reily.
Ignore her, MM. Don’t waste your ammo.
Why use a cannon to slay a flee?
Wow Michelle…you must feel so incredibly honored to have received an email from the spokesperson for every Filipino person on the planet, yet absolutely horrified at the same time to learn from her, your fellow Pinay, that you are just such an embarrassment to all of them.
Why, you must feel so torn right now. I can totally understand if you are finding it hard to sleep tonight…especially through all those tears you are obviously shedding having only now been informed of this situation you now find yourself in. I can only imagine the horrors you must be feeling even now, some hours later.
I will sure miss you and miss commenting here. I suppose there will be no other choice for you other than to immediately shut down this site, completely switch Parties and political ideologies and all in order to appease and assuage the Filipino people in whole or part.
In time, I am sure you will be able to forgive yourself for all the damage you have caused all your brown brothers and sisters.
I can only pray that once you have gone from here over to the side that is pure, non-judgmental, tolerant, and far more patriotic than we have ever given them credit for, that you will eventually find peace for yourself, and begin training your children in the ways of the Filipino People.
Oh, the shame! The unmitigated shame of it all.
How we have used and mislead you all this time.
Be safe Michelle. “Goddess” speed.
I knew a lot of Filipinos when I was in the Navy (I was engaged to a Filipino girl for a while). Good folks with a strong faith in God. I would share a fox hole with a Filipino any day!
These are the same people who are so angry at Palin because she doesn’t stand on the right side of “women’s issues”.
I don’t get it. I try to get it. Not sure why, but I try to find the logic in this sort of thing and it frustrates me that I can’t find it.
I’m a blonde, blue-eyed conservative girl and I certainly don’t feel that any blonde, blue-eyed liberal girl is ‘betraying our race’.
Sometimes I wonder what MLK would have to say about what ‘civil rights’ have become.
I sometimes wonder that too until spring comes and it is so great to watch everything come to life. Summer is amazing and fun. Fall is gorgeous and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Winter does get long, but there is also a certain stark beauty in it that I love too. Maybe us Norwegians have a different view of winter than the Swedes? Or it could be because my husband does all the snow blowing. You betcha!
Funny how a journalist hasn’t learned to use the shift key.
Wouldn’t Leilani be the “mainstream token”, since she subscribes to socialist group think. While a successful person, like Michelle, is an independent thinkers and blazes a trail.
My wife is pinay and she calls herself brown. Who wouldn’t want a beautiful women with a perma-tan? She’s like a photo paper in the summer. A couple of hours in the sun and she’s coppertone.
My wife calls Filipinas with blond hair and/or colored contacts “Just Flips tryin’ to be white.” She’d consider Leilani a sellout too.
