Paul Ryan's black cheerleader 'college sweetheart' who made him the victim of 'racist views' ...
Daily Mail ^ | August 30, 2012 | Belinda Robinson, Emily Anne Epstein and Toby Harnden

Posted on 08/30/2012 2:07:27 PM PDT by NCjim

This is the cheerleader Paul Ryan dated at college who helped forge his uncompromising opposition to racism.

The relationship and the backlash he suffered from his so-called friends were a formative experience in the political evolution of the Republican vice-presidential pick who described himself as a 'big, big fan' of Martin Luther King and is a staunch advocate of civil rights.

Today Mail Online reveals the woman whose romantic attachment led Ryan, who electrified the Republican convention in Tampa with his speech on Wednesday night, to experience racism first hand.

The Republican vice-presidential candidate dated Deneeta Pope, now 40 and a realtor living in Chicago, after they met at Miami University, Ohio in the early 1990s. Michael Steel, campaign spokesman for Ryan, today told MailOnline: 'Mr Ryan dated Ms Pope in college.'

All my favorite cigars have Cameroon wrappers...there might be something in that country that needs investigating.

Must be the beef jerky.

Many FReepers can verify that my First lady (when she was younger...and somewhat even now) is/was the hottest woman on the planet.

A nice, well written story about Mr. Ryan’s former girlfriend. Of course, we have to go to the Brits for this kind of stuff. America’s MSM wouldn’t touch it.

That photo never ceases to freak me out. Straight men NEVER sit on a sofa that close together. It’s obvious they like it that way, considering all the stuff piled up next to Hussein. It’s not like someone else was sitting there and got up for a minute before the pic was taken. They’re cozy.

When I was growing up, I didn’t have a clue about racism. My godfather was black and I spent years in a neighborhood that never noticed color. I had friends from Samoa, Mexico, and Gypsies and black girls and boys. NONE of us had any animosity towards each other. It was a wonderful time and I don’t know why it ended.

Why is this story even a story in this day and age??

Surely you know why -- you partially answered the question yourself when you said:

Maybe [it matters] with the older generation....most people in my age group today don't care.

Racial difference/disparity/"oppression" is one of the central philosophies of socialism (err, I mean the Democrat Party). If it isn't kept alive and well by being thrust into every facet of life, they know they will lose a huge chunk of support.

Right on Mesta! That is a great way to grow up, your parents should be proud.

See? The American Melting pot, the only thing that mattered was our Culture, shaped from around the world into a single distinct way of life.

But then the race baiters came to divide us so they may exploit us.

I am in an "interracial" Marriage (wife is Palestinian), Hell I grew up in an Interfaith Marriage, so you race baiters who see power in Balkanzation of America, please go up in a lake and leave this nice woman and Paul Ryan ALONE!

I think the sentence you quoted includes editorial comment from the writer, not from Romney. It reflects a euro stereotype of the gop that Romney would have had no reason to express himself.

Hey! Me Too!

In my case, Partagas Limited Reserves (they have a green band, not the red or black). Ridiculously overpriced compared to a lot of other brands, but they are my favorite so I occasionally indulge myself.

I think Harris Faulkner on Fox is drop dead gorgeous too.

No doubt about it, although I think Uma Pemmaraju was working at Fox before Harris Faulkner and set the standard for news woman which had been blond, blue eyed, cheerleader types. Both ladies are strikingly beautiful and I believe that part of their charm is that either can maintain eye contact for the duration of the typical news clip. They both are capable of out-staring a cat! In my humble opinion, there is nothing more mesmerizing about a beautiful woman then an unblinking gaze back into admiring eyes.

I see you!

Meanwhile Obama’s college girfriend is a ‘composite’

It would have been something if he called her a composite. But no, the literary genius that he is referred to her as a ... compression!!!

Unless there’s some other major speech he made on this topic, his address to the NAACP does not characterize his father’s stance as contrasting the rest of the GOP.

Nothing about the economy, Afghanistan, taxes, or unemployment, just RACE, RACE and more RACE!

I agree. Looking at the picture of Ryan's former girlfriend, right off the bat I can think of at least two things about her that are more important to me than her race.

I went out with a black woman at uni several times -she was my lab partner...and we developed a friendship...no difference with her than other woman I dated.

You are a racist. Even if you married her, you're still a racist.

Racist, racist, racist!!!

Too bad so many Fox babes are so dumb and boring that they have to shove their boobs into the camera--

I don't know this one, really, but I sure get sick of the way Fox makes their gals look like hookers. High-priced hookers, maybe, but hookers nonetheless.

Not to stick up for the DUmmies, but I think they’re making fun of the syntax of the post “former black girlfriend” as opposed to “black former girlfriend”.

It’s apparently a nonissue to pretty much everyone.

I took a bona-fide Africa gal from church out for dinner years ago.

At dinner when I found out she had 27 brothers and sisters from her father and his seven wives I lost interest.

She phone stalked me for 7 years after.

Racism is judging by group not the individual person...

Therefor racism it is inconsistent with Conservative views of the individual... a Conservative that is racist has a flawed understanding of "Conservative" ideas

Liberals belief in judging by a collective group/anti individual views are consistent with and alows racism and racist views and ideas...

The lefts idea that it is not racist to favor a race or group as long as they favor a "political correct" group is a flawed understanding of the term "racism"

Race does not define the individual person as either good or bad
