re: #76 barflytom

And being uncomfortable in an unfamiliar environment at age 18 makes her a racist for life ?

No. Being uncomfortable the first time is normal. What makes the charge of racism plausible is the fact that Palin shows no evidence of having learned anything from the experience. It’s one thing for a college freshman to be naive. It’s quite another for a middle-aged woman who wanted people to seriously consider her to be Vice President.
