MEDIA: Does Paul Ryan’s Black Ex-Girlfriend Matter?
Political pundit Keli Goff is asking the question no one else is asking, probably because no one else knew: Does V.P. nominee Paul Ryan’s black ex
girlfriend matter? In an editorial for The Root, Goff opines:
As reported on Twitter by CNN’s Pete Hamby, Ryan said he has a black sister-in-law, but perhaps even more interesting, his “college sweetheart” was African American.
So here is the million-dollar question: Is the fact that Ryan has dated interracially a noteworthy detail to consider when analyzing his politics and policies?
Goff concludes by noting that one of the most anti-immigrant pundits of recent years, Lou Dobbs, is married to a Mexican-American woman, so it’s not the race of the person Ryan dates that matters, but his ideology.
As Goff also notes, deceased Senator Strom Thurmond was an avowed racist, but had a child with a black woman, and often played the role of doting father.
The fact that a white conservative dates a black person doesn’t seem to matter much. People are attracted to who they’re attracted to. But what matters more than physical attraction is political ideology. So even if Ryan had married a black woman (He didn’t. He married a blonde), that still shouldn’t have been a factor for black people. Race pride is one thing, but policies are another thing altogether. The fact that Ryan liked a little coffee with his cream is intensely personal, and is only important to Ryan. Black folk in America have more important issues to tend to.

I guess negroid females will be running to the polls to vote for this racist, since he had a negroid girlfriend!
These demon/devils know how to brainwash negroids. All they have to do is say MY BEST FRIENDS ARE BLACK, and BINGO! These negroids are still slaves to caucasoids, and it’s getting worse!
I had a ladyfriend, who was married to a cracker; and she said he called her all kinds of b*****s, n*****s, tramps, whores, etc., but she stayed with him!!! I don’t know what these caucasoid males have done to these negroid females! I guess being raped and sodomized by these freaks, have finally taken its toll on them.
PSSD = Post Slave Syndrome Dis-ease has taken the negroid female’s mind to a lower level. And negroid males are just as bad!!!
INTEGRATION and religion has messed up the minds of negroids.
Are you sure you meant to put black FEMALES?
Derrick, every word out of your mouth is against African-American women. You are either (white racist) or (hater of self). Why don’t you look in the dictionary and find the true meaning of the word negroid and you would know to stop using that word.
Also, it is African-American males who run down white women. Most of the babies/children on public assistance listed as African-American have white mothers and fathers with MELANIN.
African-Americans male or female don’t run to the polls voting for any candidate because they have a different race partner. Reading you rposts make me want to vomit…but I imagine that is your intent. You don’t know how to post with a mind, you are sick and an ignorant fool.
After you vomit, make sure you lick it up! Okay?
You are a cracker, here to start division and hate amongst the Black collective. You are a planter, an agent, who is hired to cause division.
I’m hip to you scavengers! You got it wrong, lizzy; caucasoid fe-males are RUNNING DOWN BLACK MEN! I know this for a fact because, those whores be coming at me like the space shuttle…quick, fast and in a hurry, but I DON’T GIVE HUSKY FVCK ABOUT THOSE WHORES!!!
I LOVE THE BLACK ORIGINAL GODDESS QUEEN OF THE GLOBE..OVERstand Me?
Let’s get righteous and real:
The majority of people on public assistance are: 1) caucasoids, 2) chili chokers (mexcans), and 3) Black people. THESE ARE FACTS! I know people, who work for the welfare agency; therefore, these are the REAL STATS!!! Asians are a STRONG 4TH.
AS A MATTER OF TRUTH, chili chokers are having the most babies in the country; not Blacks! This is why O’Drama gave those illegal aliens the right to stay here!
Evidently, you can’t comprehend the Truth. My words are not about hatred for my people; it’s about waking the DEAD from the mental slavery, people like you have embredded in them. YOU COME WITH A FORKED TONGUE.
The real reason you caucasoid females run after Black men is because OF Melanin! You want all that Black Messiah Spirit ingredient in you! They even have pills for you caucasoids to take called Melontone!!!
YOU ARE NOT VOMITTING BECAUSE OF MY TRUTH; YOU ARE THROWING UP BECAUSE, WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR, THAT PALE LOOKING, BEASTLY CREATURE, LOOKING BACK AT YOU, IS TURNING YOUR STOMACH!!!
GO BURN IN THE SUN AND CATCH SKIN CANCER!!!
BY THE WAY…MY TAN DON’T FADE…you fake a*s cracker!!!
Derrick, there is an old saying. When you throw a brick in the bushes, you know you hit a DOG when it yelps. You YELPED loud, I’m am SO laughing!
Right On People! Do Not be Fooled by The White Man’s Racist Games…I Have Black Folks in My Family,that is Slave Master Thinking….Don’t Get it Twisted….VOTE-VOTE-VOTE!! OBAMA-OBAMA-OBAMA 2012!!!!
Why would it matter to anyone that Ryan had a black girlfriend?
Just the fact that it made the news is racist!!!
Because he is a staunch white republican. Naturally, you would think what is he doing with a black girlfriend giving how anti black republicans are? I agree on a personal basis it does not matter. But politically it does. If he was a liberal or democrat, it would have not ever been a story.
Really why is this a issue, Why is the Liberals always bringing up race? Here is a strong difference Between Liberals and Conservatives. Liberal only see races and think that minority’s are in need of help, and Conservatives Only see a Person, all Americans capable of great things! I wish people would look past all the fancy speeches and look at the reality of it all.
you say: Liberal only see races and think that minority’s are in need of help, and Conservatives Only see a Person, all Americans capable of great things!
you left out one thing with the conservatives, yes they see the person, but they also see color. if you’re not white, they discriminate against others in the name of christianity where all americans are capable of great things, like a hanging from a tree in the name of christianity while wearing white sheets, now they wear blue suits.
I am a free thinking Independent that believe in social Conscientiousness; and from your post I believe you don’t have a clue. When you examine conservatives views and value you willl conclude that people of color don’t matter to them, you will realize that their brand of christianity is not in line with what the man Jesus spoke about or taught, you willl determine that they would like to wipe out the middle class and have all the riches and wealth to themselves and that facts do not matter. What do you have in common with Mitt or Paul? And how do they speak to your needs?
Total bs….The real skinny is that conservatives hate black folks. We hate them. Liberals, progressives, or democrats, are a different story. They are friends, close enemies, or whatever that can be positive, but can be negative at times. They are stilll white people. It is more black and white with conservatives. I do not think republicans and conservatives are the same. Republicans are born that way. Conservatives claim that who they are. There is a big difference.
What does it matter, Obams WHITE mother had a child with a black person, everywhere you look you see mixed couples, that has nothing to do with what a person can do for OUR COUNTRY that they love. For the people that it DOES matter, if you never date a race you do not want to marry, you will never fall for that person n will never marry that race. This is just a distraction the media should focus on WHERE R THE JOBS? They should ask obama the hard questions, like why r u not running on your record of the last ALMOST 4 YEARS ? WHY R U DIVIDING OUR COUNTRY? Do not let him get away with him saying if you follow my campaign u will see that I am not dividing our country, INSTEAD people should GO ON what OBAMA HAS DONE AND HOW HE HAS DIVIDED OUR COUNTRY in the last 4 years, cause he says one time to some people, if he sees a P on their foreheads he will triple his lies cause all he has to do is flash his white teeth. In spanish the P stands for Pendejos.
Minnie,
Please explain how Obama has divided the country. Maybe in your opinion George Bush brought the country together. That’s some irrational thinking. The country was already divided before Obama was elected. Maybe it would be fair to say that Obama’s presence hasn’t unified the country. Divided? Nah! Do you think Romney will bring us together because he’s white? I wouldn’t count on it if I were you.
What President Obama has accomplished for African-Americans without help from African-Americans.
We failed to support him by returning to the polls to vote in a Democratic congress to help him pass bills.
• Lowered taxes for 20 million African Americans through the payroll tax cut, putting $800 back in the pocket of the typical African-American working family.
• Invested $3.4 billion in African American-owned businesses.
• Passed the Affordable Care Act, ending insurance company abuses and expanding access to preventive care, which will reduce health disparities for 41 million African Americans.
• Supported the early learning programs Head Start and Early Head Start, to reach an additional 64,000 children and their families.
• Doubled funding for Pell Grants, increasing the number of recipients and putting a college education within reach for an additional 200,000 African-American students over the next decade.
• Invested $2.55 billion in Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and other minority-serving institutions.
Thank you Elizabeth
You are a racist sick cow who hates self.
How did he divide YOUR country? Your GOP did everything possible to work with President Obama right?
More bs….Obama did not divide this country. The country was divided way before Obama was born. Obama only illustrated how much this country is divided. This is some warped white rationalization. Your kind has a big problem with the truth.
LOL! Can’t believe this made the news. Will she vote for him or Obama? HMMMM!
She probably ashamed she layed up with the Massa. There can be a lot of s****l remorse when a black woman find out who her white boy lover really is. I have seen some never forgive themselves for it. That is the advantage of being a black male with a white woman. They can never make you regret it.
This is definitely a cheap shot ,and media distraction.This would have attracted my attetion if he had married her. I do not even believe this fabricated story .Minnie,Obama has not divided anybody.The extremists,the tea-party planted the confusion and attempts to divide the country.
This would have never attracted your attention if he married the nappy head negress. He would not be in the position he is in the republican party with a negress as his wife. You would have never knew who this silly lying white boy is. The Tea Crumbs did not start anything. This was all here before a Tea b*m came around.
Wow
The man enjoys black puntane. That doesn’t mean that he’d marry one once he finished using them. I know of too many instances in which this is the case. Literally, he objectifies black women and probably sees them as easy s***s. Let’s not get things confused.
This would be funny if it was not sad. The last time I’d checked anyone can be used and the user may be anyone. Race has nothng to do with use. No one likes it.
I beg to disagree with you. These silly white boys of today will marry a black woman. That is a big part of their problem today in general. They do not have the commitment they once had in white supremacy and white domination. They are trying to have their cake and eat it too. In the old days, they were committed to white supremacy. They have weaken up these days. That is why they are so crazy now. They don’t really want to commit to whiteness anymore. They want it only when it is conveniet. They are having more identity crisis now than ever. It is not only hard for them to be white because of zenophoia. It is an internal crisis and breakdown too. Look at Grover Nordquist. This silly white boy is married to an Arab Muslim womam. Jeb Bush is married to a woman who is Mexican from Mexico. That is the real reason why he has not ran for President. He would have ran if he was with a white woman like white boys used to always be with. That is another reason why you see so many white folks in general males and females who are trying to eradicate race and ethnic catergories all together. They want it ALL from all races to work for their advantage. They are not satisfied with the white part of the pie. They want all pieces of the pie. These are different kind of white folks from the ones of yesterday years. They want their whiteness to collect All Fruits in this world.
It doesn’t matter who Ryan has dated. It only matters who he is. A lot of white guys like him engage with black women. He is only in his early 40′s. And they still hate black folks more than they ever know or admit to themselves.
Greg,
Have you had a personal conversation with Ryan where you can say with absolute certitude that he hates black people? Or, is the essential fact that he is running on the Republican ticket all the “facts” that you need?
If we go by actions alone, one could deduce that President Obama does not care much for black people and he does not even want to be known that he is the president “for black people” when black people are (1) United States citizens, and (2) Voted for him almost 100% in the 2008 election.
Did your world completely fall apart under previous Republican administrations? Heck, black people survived slavery, Reconstruction, the Civil Rights Movement, the Carter and Reagan Administrations, the elder and junior Bushs’ administrations and made it to the other side.
We are survivors and really need to take advantage of every opportunity that we have and DESERVE in this country and this does not necessarily hinge on having a man in the white house that looks a little like us if that man is not helping the black community as a whole.
Obama is pro-immigration, pro-gay, pro-socialist, pro-abortion in the most liberal sense EVER!! and anti-traditional marriage/values, anti-religious, anti-free market, and, in my book, that adds up to anti-American and VERY DIVISIVE!!
What we need is a government that empowers people to help themselves through policies and legislation that produces jobs and promotes stabilization of the family.
I voted for Obama in 2008 but I absolutely despise what he has done to this country and how the liberals are running us into the ground. If Romney wins, it will be a miracle because he not only has to compete against the President, but also the mainstream media and people who will vote for Obama despite having one (if not the worst) economic records in history, and a social agenda that will increase s****l fluidity/confusion and destroy traditional families and values.
What I think you are is crazy. You are trying to fit a round peg into a square hole. It ain’t going to never fit. Ryan, the white boy making excuses for, hate black folks because that is his nature. I do not think the silly white boy sit up and think I hate those blacks. I understand this element in them. It is not their personal fault most times. It is part of his creation is why he hates us. We are his natural enemy. He is our naturual enemy. That is it. It is no more than that. We are too confused to except this most times. We still don’t understand the reasons why we are who we are. We lack the knowledge of our selves. They know who they are without caring or thinking about it. We have no such advantage. We better learn and recognize.
Mostly we are misfit Americans. We only think like survivors. We can think like people who are trying to live out their full potential. I consider what you stated above as ‘absolute negro training thought.’ You missed the natural of yourself in wanting to be an actualized black original human being.
In summary, too many people like you want to be Glorified White Folks. You were not created for that. If you were, you would be white too. You were made to be a Glorified Black Person. We don’t know how to do this. So we are stuck chasing the white fantasy we hope to be. That is simply it for me.
I do see a hatred in his face. Greg I believe that is something you can sense.
He looks like a typical looking white devil to me. He talks like a devil. There is nothing special about him. He reminds me of so many white folks I have encountered.
I can’t say I sense hatred in his face. I sense a white being that will never know any better than what his shallow, sheltered, unoriginal man, white blinded, devil created, and natrually inhumane, pale behinded is. He is dangerous becaiuse he can’t ever know any better. He may or may not be an evil white person. Good white people can be more dangerous than the evil ones. The evil ones know they are no good. The good ones do not know they are out to exterminate any one who are not white.
There is no level too low for you Race Hustlers and Poverty Pimps.
What makes a race hustler or pimp? Why do you choose those terms or words? Sounds like a ????
That’s a contrived republican line. You need to get a new one. Also, make it original….
Dumb thread and story.
It matters little since its meaning can never be precisely determined. Many Whites create relationships with Blacks to make it easier to screw them later. The man’s ideology, behavior and consistency – or otherwise – is what really matters here.
Take a look around. Famine is coming. The whole country is in a drought. The internment camps are already set up. Who you consider to be family and who you depend on for survival matters.
This ex-girlfriend article is dust in the wind when it comes to the imposition of austerity. America is up for sale and Mitt is the great liquidator. Downsize and sell. More prisons and interment centers are being built. Soon labor will be farmed out to other nations from these same internment centers. Control is an issue that is at the core of political opposition in our government. Either way the election goes we are one individual away from Rome and Brussels ruling America. Remember the Golden Rule…Those who have the gold rule. Remember that Germany removed the gold from the treasuries of Greece and have not returned it. Austerity sucks the money out of the pockets of the poor and pays thieves.
Who cares!!The man is a liar, and so is Romney.Black women are not that stupid.Slavery masters had black slave women.Derrick do you work?or do you work for boykins?
Don’t tell nobody, but your mammy works for me!
I’m accepting applications…do you want one?
Any more dumb questions?
Thanks Patrice!
He is Boykins…. He is Boykin’s true personallity hiding behind a fake name….
Derrick
You are full of venom and hate, I understand that when you lose or have to share power that creates feelings of hoplessness. Its time to let it go.
What’s all these white infilators doing on this site…..Don’t they have some place else to be.
Same reason men have to look at Cosmo occasionally; we have to keep an eye on the troublemakers and learn their ways. LOL!
Keep whitey off our sites.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some Republican source leaked or tweeted that, thinking it would attrack some blacks. Blacks have NOTHING going for them in The Romney/Ryan plans, and they know it. Besides, it’s 2012. Interracial relationships aren’t uncommon. When it comes to race and politics, Blacks aren’t that gullible.
Derrick you are plain ignorant.
Who cares about his African American Girlfriend.
People are attracted to people for various reasons. He was young and want to do the discovery thing. You see who he ended up with because he wanted to make sure he furthered his career.
The issue of race is not as important as ideology. Race and idelogical persuasion do not cancel one another as you might think.
