Paul Ryan's black cheerleader 'college sweetheart' who made him the victim of 'racist views' ...

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.'

Actually some polling is showing 20% Romney support among blacks. Black ministers were upset as they would have to perform “gay marriages” or lose tax exempt status.

Now, remind me, what was the name of the girl/guy Obama dated in college? Oh, that’s right. We’re not supposed to care or have even a passing curiosity.

Mmm......She is a cutie.

My Freshmen year of College I dated a black track-athlete goddess from Cameroon. Very Sweet.

"Backlash"? In Ohio in 1992? from college students?

Please. I think the Daily Mail is trading on European stereotypes about the US here.

In 1992, at any US college, there was no stigma attached to dating a hot cheerleader.

Romney didn’t say that. This newspaper did.

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

Because of leftist agitation. Community organizer type stuff. The politics of division.

I understand where you are coming from but there is an Obama girlfriend from the day. She is a white girl with like minded sensibilities.

Hmm, no stitch marks or Photoshop mismatches. She must not be one of the composite girlfriends that are so popular nowadays.

Are you sure the newspaper wasn’t paraphrasing him?

Meanwhile Obama’s college girfriend is a ‘composite’, if she ever existed at all.

Otherwise, I'm skeptical on Obama being interested in anyone I would identify as female - transvestites and transsexuals do not count, obviously.

So, if the margin of error is 3%, does that mean Romney’s real level of support could be -3%?

Hussein's composite “girlfriend” was probably based on his boyfriends.

Oh boy is this gal in for it.

If the media can get her to say a few well chosen words about Ryan... they don't even have to be true... it'd be worth a dozen bogus Medicare stories.

I hope she's ready for whats coming.

Unlike Liberals, we look beyond the Balkanzied group that could be exploited for political gain.

That is why interracial marriage doesn't bother me, it was what at one time used to be called "The Old American Melting Pot"

Note that to get this story, you have to go to the British Press.

Very interesting point.

The MSM was happy to report that Ryan "had a black girlfriend".

But they had absolutely no interest in tracking her down, identifying her, reporting the circumstances of their romance, or -- great merciful heavens -- publishing a picture.

I wonder why would that be...???

The MSM cares.

Because liberals are the only racists left...
