has a cousin, Univerty of Maryland "law" professor SHERRILYN IFILL,
who is head of head of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
who cares ???
“She said, “black women are not easily confused by false claims to feminism. When women like Palin lay claims to ‘representing’ average women, I think that black women have a visceral reaction to it.”
How many non-black women see a shred of feminism in the black community? Is there any independence? Accomplishment? Education?
If black women rallied around Sarah Palin I would despise her.
I quit defending Sarah Palin when she sold out the one true conservative in the race.
wonder how ‘offended’ black women are to hillary’s trying to be an average woman...especially when she parodies black speech patterns
How dare Sarah be born white and pretty and smart!
Its OFFENSIVE to black women that she is “all together”
Note that this is NOT a sign of idiocy on the part of these ‘offended’ black women, its Sarah’s fault some how... Right?
They work in tandem.

That should be: The bookstore draws a graying, turtleneck AND PONYTAILED crowd.
Yes because we all know the world rotates around black women.......
For her, “privilege” just means people working harder and having more intellect than her coupled with an ability to follow rules and moderate their base, primitive impulses better than her.
You know, Western Civilization.
God help us when these people get control of our society.
Sounds like they are describing Hilary, not Sarah...
P.S.
Shouldn't the false claim that 63% of the population is somehow “ privileged “ be considered as offensive to white people as the “N” word is to African Americans?
I know I'm sick of it.
More nasty black female racists who believe that anyone not as screwed up as blacks is a fake and that only blacks can have meaningful experiences.
It still amazes me that the stupid RNC let this black racist demagogue moderate a Republican primary debate back in 2012.
Gwen Ifill is privileged to have a staff of white people who write her script for her. They work hard to make her appear intelligent.
SP too Perfect to be Black? OK!
The article is wrong. Palin shot the bear in the afternoon not in the morning.
That’s racist.
So, if Sarah Palin were black and did all that stuff, would Professor Ifill have labeled her a new Civil Rights icon?
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Me thinks black women are not black at all...they are GREEN with ENVY .
The woman is an idiot. Palin does not claim to be perfect, nor does she claim her family is perfect (and some of the flaws are quite obvious). However, the example of someone who is even mostly doing well should be inspiring to everyone. I don't get offended when someone has a good life; I at least internally celebrate their success.
If Todd Palin is enjoying the company of his exceptionally attractive wife, that is a very good thing. If the Palin children are learning to fish (recreational or professional), or to hunt, or are serving in the military, that is also wonderful. If the Palins are eating fresh, wild game, I strongly approve. If they are raising all of their children instead of killing inconvenient ones (is it two or three?) like a democrat would, I celebrate that too.
I don't see anything in Palin's life or in her (mixed - Todd is Yup'ik) marriage that is unique to whiteness or to those who are accepted as if they were white, whatever that means to the professional racists. What I see are good life choices by her (not always by her daughter), including marriage first, stability second, and children third chronologically. Any black woman could avoid taking offense at the impossibility of Palin's success by merely recognizing her personal responsibility and following the same order of steps in her own life.
I realized this morning that white people do have an advantage over blacks, but it isn’t skin color. It’s that whites have nobody to blame. If we fail, we cannot blame blacks or Hispanics.
Some of us will blame our family situations, but we cannot scapegoat another race. If we screw up, it’s our own fault. The advantage comes with knowing it’s our responsibility to fix it. There’s no point in waiting ten years while politicians promise a fix that requires no effort on our part.
That’s quite an advantage, for the wise.
Let’s all be like the ideal - nasty, angry black women.
