Um ... race card? wtf are you talking about? Someone who lives in the area told me the usual crowd at the mall is 1/3 to 1/2 black people. That ain't what was in the Palin crowd images.


I do not think you know what playing the race card means.

Yeah, someone that admits going there only a couple times a year, yet claims that half the people in the mall are black when blacks make up only 20% of the cities population. And you took it hook, line, and sinker.

I am assuming they are there, just not in line, which is the footage I saw. Again, not really sure what to make of it, except that Palin's appeal is almost strictly with white people.

No, it's not playing the race card, it's wondering why the racial makeup was different than usual.

I said 1/3 to 1/2, and that is because of the location and age of the mall. The newer, further out of town mall skews much more white.

10,000? Wow, that's about half the population of Hooterville!

Please just go masturbate to Carrie Prejean and forget about getting hummers from Palin for posting this thread, she's not into you I'm sure junior. She'd be too busy pulling the plug on your grandma even if she was interested in offering you sexual favors (you heard she supported death panels as Alaska gov. right? Oh wait...)

Hell, I'm still waiting for one of you to show some substantiation of this "death panels" claim. I ain't holdin' my breath though.

Yeah I keep hearing that but none of you seem capable of substantiating that claim. Wonder why?
