Pregnant? huh? Governor Palin's daughter is pregnant. Which - according to this Washington Post Article (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/01/AR2008090100710_2.html?sid=ST2008090101074&s_pos=) is perfectly ok if you come from a "good"family. The latent racism in this article is just apalling. When a conservative, white girl from Alaska has an "accidental pregnancy," it's a by-product or oversight. But, when it's a black, poor girl, she's from a bad family, destined for welfare, etc. It's a hot mess...nuff said.

Nice blog. I like the piece on palins's pregnant daughter
hey thr!
Am 100% pro-Obama and I think McCain and GOP's anti-Obama smear campaigns are childish BUT, a family's problems should never be the subject of public discuss.
Let the Palin's family be.
Obama for Prezo! Pamoja!
Rather Ma'am...Why Have You Been M.I.A Since 2006,Funny Enough I stumbled Upon Your Blog While Trying To View Another Blogger's Spot That Has Similar Link Name With Yours.And Viola You're Back..Just Keep The Steam Coming And Dont Retreat So Soon At Least.
get over urself
that's part of racism
you can't change it
trust me
you don't want to waste
ur time trying.
Imagine if it was Obama's daughter that is pregnant out of wedlock...His whole family history, and his wife's plus their child rearing abilities would be up for discussion and endless analysis...
Thanks for the comments.
@ Tisha -racism is ALWAYS worth discussing, we wouldn't be this far if we'd remained silent. -Your sister in the struggle
@ ynot - you're right, but it never hurts to put these questions out there. Let's not act so holy as to assume that families aren't political...we all know better.
Keep the comments coming and I'll keep responding.
Thanks for reading!
