Heh heh heh.

That is one funny headline.

/supporting Obama

Bravo on the correct incorrect grammar.

Remus the eskibro?

Well crafted, subby. +1

The headline
I likes

He's the only black eskimo. He's the only one he knows.

We gotta get... Eric.

crossthread: We gotta get... Eric.

GOD DAMMIT!!
I came here to make that reference.. figuring no one would've made it yet..

Having lived in Alaska for 5 years, I can tell you that there sure as hell are some ghettos there (In Achorage it's Mountainview..for starters).

Most of the ghetto trash there are leftover Army morans and their families.

Oh ho ho ho

nice headline

I'm giggling like a little girl at the headline.

Same.

I think that the Alaskan natives have a little more of a gripe that the black Alaskans but really should this come as a surprise to anyone. I mean she and her husband are tight with the AIP Successionists.

That headline is a work of art, subby.

So out of the 240 that identified their race, 8 are black? And blacks make up 4% of Alaska's population? Sounds like she has diversity... Maybe less than you'd see in New York or California, but plenty for Alaska.

There's plenty to hate Palin for. Not this though.

AlrightGuy: eskibro

This is as close as anyone is going to get to submitter. Thread's over, people.

I'm pretty sure the headline meant to read: "...says he has felt..."

I'm sure submitter just made an honest mitake and did not intend to look stupid or grammatically declined.

/Just sayin'

I can't get anything right today.

That headline knocked one out of the park. For a split second my grammar nazi ass was ready to rip subby a new one, then a light went on and hummmmmmmmm...I get it!

5_second_rule: Successionists

You hurt my head.

5_second_rule: I think that the Alaskan natives have a little more of a gripe that the black Alaskans but really should this come as a surprise to anyone. I mean she and her husband are tight with the AIP Successionists.

Does she have any ties to the Failists?

Skanks for the Memories

ROFLMAO

Win!

All they need to do is show the world that Sarah Palin has a penis, and this race is OVER.

You can't hit on the Poopsmith. That's so wrong. I mean, not that there's anything wrong with that...

awe screw it lol I don't know how to spell the people that want to leave america but keep living itheir state.

5_second_rule: awe screw it lol I don't know how to spell the people that want to leave america but keep living itheir state.

It's OK. I'm usually drunk when I post on Fark, too.

Wow...they feel ignored.
They should ask comedy how it feels because clearly it was ignored when Palin was on SNL last night.

Phil Moskowitz: Does she have any ties to the Failists?

You mean the PHAILangists?

well if this guy isn't uppity, i don't know who is.

how does it help the blacks, whites, or anyone else in alaska to appoint people to positions based on their skin color? or anywhere for that matter? aside from, possibly, a "native affairs board" or something lik that. why would anyone be given or denied a position based on their skin color? it just boggles my mind.

I ran into a greater concentration and variety of races in Anchorage than I do in Portland.

Of course, I had to do a double-take the first time I saw a black couple in Palmer (next door to Wasilla), so YMMV.

dave2198: All they need to do is show the world that Sarah Palin has a penis, and this race is OVER.

She probably does, because we already know there's some kind of genetic abnormality in her family.

GAT_00: He's the only black eskimo. He's the only one he knows.

And the seals they sing now.

He could always commiserate with Vermont's black guy.

Ah, the push to "hire more minorities", ignorant of the fact of educational and population differences.

"Black people only make up 12% of the government!"

"Black people are no 12% of the population"

"SO?"

subby, I will be the first one to pee in your Cheerios.

say he has felt

Were you channeling ebonics, son? How dare you use a verb which does not agree with its subject? (black) SAYS!!! SAYS!!! Only idiots and ebonics use the verb 'say' with a singular subject.

I dunno; ruined the joke for me.

Laughing Out Loud - Nice job submitter

Alaska's black population say he has felt ignored by Palin and P. Diddy

There I fixed it.

every minute this headline doesn't go on to the main page is failriffic.

Equating ghetto with black is as stupid as Diddy equating black with crackpipe several weeks ago in his own 'paved with good intentions (?)' anti-Palin rant. And maybe, depending upon who you are and why you made the statement, worse. But I don't know who you are and why you made that statement in such a way.

Why?

Swampthing in Korea: Ah, the push to "hire more minorities", ignorant of the fact of educational and population differences.

Since Todd Palin is Alaskan Native (Yu'pik language group) through his grandmother; and mentioned his Yu'pik ancestry at the Republican National Convention this year ....... does Todd Palin count as a minority? or as white?

I can't find the answer. I can't find the answer on whether or not he collects benefits for being 1/16th Yu'pik, like many 'white' on the face Native Americans -- for example, infamously even among Amerindians, the Cherokee -- do here in the Lower 48. What I found was this RezNetNews article:

* Alaska has one of the highest percentages of Native people of any state in the country (13% of 670,000 population).
* Todd's half-Yu'pik mother Blanche Palin served as secretary of the Alaska Federation of Natives, considered the state's largest Native organization.
* Holly Miowak Stebing (also Inupiaq, but an Obama supporter who met him in Denver) criticized Palin for undermining causes she sees as beneficial to Alaska Natives, particularly Proposition 4 (a legislative proposition that would have stopped certain mining operations in the state from releasing toxic pollutants into water that would harm the health of humans or salmon), which was defeated Aug. 26 by more than 57 percent of Alaskan voters. She admits, however, that many Alaska Natives were themselves split, with many opposing it themselves in spite of the harm it would do to the salmon industry and thus Alaska Native life because they saw it as impeding mining operations which 'provide them much needed jobs'.
* "(Chuck) Degnan (former Alaska state representative and an Inupiaq) criticized Palin for failing to allow Alaska Native representation on the Alaska Coastal Management Program - an organization that protects the state's coasts."
What's Palin's Record on Native Issues? (Sept. 2, 2008) (new window)

All that to say: who defines a minority? is Todd a minority or part of the majority or both? and why shouldn't blacks, in spite of representing a small portion of Alaskan population, be represented anyway? Minorities have wielded immense power before (see also: European Jews) in spite of physical numbers; what's the difference?

Who decides power?

Alaska's black population say he has felt ignored by Palin - both of them

FTFY

i would be grateful to have been ignored by that crony capitalist c*nt baby maker.

You could be blacker than a Bootsy Collins bass line on the outside, but if you vote Republican it doesn't matter - you're whiter than a bus full of Pat Boone fans from Utah at a cross-burning in Branson.

Linux_Yes: i would be grateful to have been ignored by that crony capitalist c*nt baby maker.


good....... let the hate flow through you....

FTA:"If you're going to embrace the entire country, you need to address the issues here... People aren't asking for her selections to be based on color, but because of qualifications.'

um...yes they are, actually. a lot of good, qualified people can't go some places because their skin is the color of a bunch of people already there, and there needs to be diversity by law. if people didnt ask for selections to be based on color, we would probably have a mostly white government.

i came for the "what you did there, I see it" stork, and was disappointed.

/well done subby :)
