Republican VP Nominee’s College Sweetheart Is A Black Woman
Republican Vice President Nominee Paul Ryan
In 2005 Vice-Presidential hopeful, Paul Ryan, told Milwaukee Magazine that his sister-in-law is black and his college sweetheart is black. His “ties” to the black community have people questioning whether or not the black community should change their perception of him, as many members of the GOP have been deemed racists upon their response to the election of President Obama.
Ryan, who has been openly critical of President Obama, reportedly said he loves the ‘idea’ of the POTUS. “I love the idea of Barack Obama,” he said. “I love the fact that we elected an African-American man as our president. I think that is a really cool thing. I just don’t like the ideas coming from Barack Obama.” Unlike many of his GOP colleagues, Ryan participates in celebration of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr holiday.
On his website, Ryan makes an attempt to support his stand against abortion by comparing the Supreme Court’s decision for Dred Scott v. Sandford to be the same as the decision made for Roe v. Wade. “It made a mockery of the American idea that human equality and rights were given by God and recognized by government, not constructed by governments or ethnic groups by consensus vote,” he says of the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision. “The second time the Court failed in a case regarding the definition of “human” was in Roe v. Wade in 1973, when the Supreme Court made virtually the identical mistake,” he continues, “Like the Dred Scott decision, this opinion has wounded America and solved nothing. It has set good people on all sides against each other, fueled a culture war, split churches, soured politics, and greatly strained civil dialogue.”
Knowing this information about Ryan, does it change your perception of him?

he has my vote since I am black, staunch Christian, ProLife and believe in marriage between man and woman. I guess the gay people are not helping Obama because his donations are down compared to the last campaign. You can beat God by taking a short cut. Go Mitt-Ryan
your not voting for the v.p. its the president you’re voting for
JoJo have you checked the black church’s lately they are full of gay people you even have alot of gay pastor’s….
Anthony andrews have you checked the Catholic Church lately, they are and have been full of gay people, and even have GAY priest.
Romney and Ryan will be disastrous for the black community. Cutting PELL grants for college, giving the wealthy tax breaks and raising taxes on the middle class and poor, cutting social services, etc… We live in a democracy, not a theocracy. The Bible is not the constitution. You cannot regulate your morality on a nation. You can’t even get Christians to act Christ-like. It was only 45 years ago that Blacks couldn’t marry whites, because it was an abomination according to right wing religious zealots. We are still trying to control who can marry whom. Stop your holy war on gay people and grow up. Have your beliefs, and live your life as you wish, but you can’t force someone else to live by your rules. You want to preserve the sanctity of marriage? Then fight against divorce. 50% of all marriages end in divorce. I am fairly certain that God is not pulling for the republicans. Just an FYI, Mitt is Mormon, and the book of Mormon definitely has racist doctriines. it wasn’t until the 70′s that Blacks were even aloud in the church. They still don’t have church leaders who are black. but i guess you can vote for Mitt anyway. SMDH.
Excellent! Well said.
Excellent points Sifo!
All I can say to your comment JoJo is, some of us are blinded by bright, glittery things…but they don’t realize it is all junk until the glitter all falls off.
RIDICULE WILL NOT CHANGE THE CONDITION OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY. Since so many of you are having the time of your life bashing JOJO, let me add myself to the fray as a Romney supporter. No matter how many different ways that all of you try to bash her about supporting Romney-Ryan, it won’t change the overall condition of the Black community and NEITHER WILL PRES. OBAMA!!!! The net worth of the average Black family is $4955 TOTAL.
The Democratic Party has convinced me that they DO NOT have best intention of the Black community in mind, whatsever. In fact, I am sure that it would be okay with them if our community remained deply impoverished.
While I may not be excited about a lot or Republican policies, there is a 90% chance that I will vote for Romney in November 2012. The one thing that I can absolutely say about Republicans……they want money flowing and will settle for nothing less.
So what if Ryan’s sister-in-law is black, and so what if he dated a black woman in college, what is that suppose to mean to voters. The President’s mother and grandparents are WHITE! Do you see white people rushing to vote for him…NO! The white people who will not vote for or hate the President don’t give a d**n about his white mother and grandparents, they hate him anyway… just as Ryan saying he dated a black woman or there is a black person in his family won’t matter to black people either; Romney/Ryan will still get zero support from the black community.
Another dumb N***er speaks
Thank you for introducing yourself, Rich. Your comment was useless and dumb.
Please People Do Not Fall For The Old Black People’s Joke,My Best Friend is Black Bull c**p…Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney,will Do You like George W.Bush,Homeless,Hopeless and Jobless!!…OBAMA-OBAMA-OBAMA 2012!!!
JoJo my dog is also friendly toward blacks but he is not running for President either.
Good one!
Everyone that says they have Black friends and family is not going to go that extra mile to make things equal in this country. I have a mixed family, and I tolerate some of the white relatives on the holidays. I do not like people because of the skin color, I try to see the character of the person, what are their values and beliefs.
@ Ana and Sylvia…points well made.
Ok, so this great man has realized God’s plan early on in life. I truly believe that this is happening for a reason and feel that most Americans are not caught up in races issues. I for one don’t care the color of your skin or ethnicity except respect for it. God made us all. For me to disrespect you because of those issues, I disrespect my God who made us all. Not in the mood to made the Lord mad at me today. God bless us all and hugs to everyone.
My perception of him is the same and my perception of Mitt Romney is the same. I will not support them for President. Obama 2012!
I guess negroid females will be running to vote for this racist caucasoid!
The old MY BEST FRIENDS ARE BLACK racist remark is in full effect here! All you have to do is tell a negroid this statement, and they’re your buddy for life!
These demon/devils are doing everything they can to get negroids to vote for them. These racist use ALL kinds of mnd control and manipulative concepts to BRAINWASH negroids!
They deleted my other comment, but I knew this site was not owned by Blacks. They don’t want the Truth to be told, either! Let’s not forget, their racist forefathers; hung, beat, raped, and sodomized Black women during our forced enslavement!!!
These two creatures: Willard and Ryan should be called R&R, which means Racist Rednecks!!!
ERASE THIS ‘BLACK’BLUEDOG…or are you really BLACK???
No story about the Blackman that was shot 46 times, eh?
NEGROIDS?! Derrick, you are way over the top with your comments brother! As screwed up as the Black community is at present, the most that you can do to improve things is to bash someone who doesn’t agree with you?
FYI: I am a middle-aged, African American female, who is pro-Black. Do I need to show you my card so that you can do a verification? I have marched in dozens of protest marches regarding issues impacting the Black community, previously volunteered to work in Black community, and donate money to a host of causes that work in the Black community in Houston, TX and Africa.
I am NOT impressed by the work that Pres. Obama has done for the last 3 1/2 years. Regardless of his race, ALL presidents should be made to answer for what they do and how they do it! The only think that I clerarly see is the Black vote being taken for granted, which was proven by the presidents / democrats willingness to support gay marriage, defacto Dream Act, and not addressing Black issues first. And by Black issues, I mean BLACK ISSUES (high unemployment, crime, murder, incarceration, ex-felons, absent fathers, high school drop-out rate, housing, etc.).
I am not ‘bashing’ my sister, I am telling the Truth. Y’all didn’t have anything to say when Biden was ‘bashing’ negroids with his racist statement, so DON’T BASH ME FOR TELLING IT LIKE IT IS!
This presidential mess, is just what I said it is: A MESS! This voting thang is a sham, a lie, and y’all keep falling for the okey doke! Our votes are void, and will only be used to keep the rights of these foreigners; while Blacks continue to BEG for their rights. More hispanics are on welfare, have more babies and receive foodstamps, than any race! The media doesn’t tell y’all that Truth! They keep manipulating y’all minds; to think, that Blacks are the only people, who receive food assistance!
Stop being so humble and wake up to the Truth because these screachas have brainwashed y’all so long; to turn the other cheek, that y’all do it AUTOMATICALLY to please caucasoids!!
THERE’S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BASHING AND TRUTHING!!!
What has the GOP “done for Black people”? Worse than the Dems, Romney does not want the “Black Vote”. Those fake Christians who are supporting Romney/Ryan are forgetting the principle, “to whom much is given, much is required”. Romney/Ryan’s plans hurt the poor, children, and the elderly the most. Why give more tax cuts to those who do not need them at the expense of the weakest amongst us? Romney avoids contributing to the country that has facilitated his wealth, continues to lie in his ads, and embraces the most hateful in his party; but “Christians” believes he best represents Christian beliefs? Gingrich said Black people have no examples of a work ethic and that we need to ask for work and not food stamps. Romney has embraces this man and sends him out as a representative of his campaign! I am an Independent and do not believe in a 2 party system, but the Dems are the lesser of 2 evils. I cannot support a party that actively makes it harder for those who: 1. cannot defend themselves (children/poor/elderly), 2. are working hard to improve their circumstances (i.e. the working poor/small business owners); and 3. those try to exercise there right to vote. It’s just not the Christian thing to do.
Ryan’s disclosures? about the African American connections in his immediate family and his college sweatheart? are inconsequential. WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT IN THIS ELECTION IS THE CONTROL OF THE SUPREME COURT!! Black people wake up and stop with the trivia. Two moderate Supreme Court justices will likely be retiring sometime within the next four years and we need Barack Obama in the White House to make sure that they are replaced with reasonable moderate judges. If Romney gets elected he will appoint two ultra right wing racist judges to replace the retirees.
If that happens, the “conservative” members on the Supreme Court will have the right wing votes (7 votes out of 9) that they need to roll back everything that Dr. King, Medger Evers and other black leaders fought and were killed for in this country, and their first target will be the Voting Rights Bill. Wake up people and keep the struggle going because your vote is needed front and center on the front lines!!
And so what if he dated a Black woman and his sister-in-law is Black. My paternal great grandmother was white and my maternal grandparents were biracial. That has nothing to do with anything at all. What is important is what do you believe in and Ryan’s beliefs do not sit well with me no matter who he choses to associate with… His coming forward with this means ABSOLUTELY nothing!
Anyone who is African American and does not understand the extreme and dire consequences of this presidential election does not deserve to call themselves—>African American!!! THEY ARE TRAITORS TO THEIR RACE!!!! PERIOD!
Jojo, You want to base your vote on Christianity so consider that Romney is not a Christian, he is a Mormon, Mormons do not beleive in Jesus Christ.
Presidents and Vice Presidents can only voice their opinions about gay marriage, they have no power to impliement, only to try an influence the vote. Marriage rules are according to state regulations.
And this should matter why? According to the media he and his wife have been married since 2000, that’s been at least 12 years ago. And if my memory serves me correctly, I thought it was the President that we voted for; the VP is just a ride along. Not to mention like most of all the other males of so called prominence and status, I’m sure the woman he dated was a Black woman that people had to question whether or not she was Really Black.(SMH)
So what if Ryan’s sister-in-law is black, and so what if he dated a black woman in college, what is that suppose to mean to voters. The President’s mother and grandparents are WHITE! Do you see white people rushing to vote for him…NO! The white people who will not vote for or hate the President don’t give a d**n about his whit mother and grandparents, they hate him anyway… just as Ryan saying he dated a black woman or there is a black person in his family won’t matter to black people either; Romney/Ryan will still get zero support from the black community.
Since so many of you are having the iome of your life bashing JOJO, let me add myself to the fray. No matter how many different ways that all of you try to bash her, Rpmney or Ryan, it won’t change the overall condition of the Black community and NEITHER WILL PRES. OBAMA!!!! The net worth of the average Blck family is $4955 TOTAL. While I may not be excited about a lot or Republican policies there is a 90% chance that I will vote for Romney in November 2012. The one thing that I can absolutely say about Republicans……they want money flowing and will settle for nothing less.
They don’t want the money flowing to you. They could not care less about you. They want the money flowing to the top 1-5% and the crumbs can trickle down to you…maybe. They want the top 1-5% to decide whether you get money because it is their God-given right as “job creators”. Keep thinking they are seeking to increase the numbers of the wealthy and privilege because you will be just like that hamster running in that wheel working FOR them.
Sheba, the Democrats want money flowing also, they want it flowing to DC where they can take there huge cut to pay themselves and then dole a small portion of it back out so that the dumb masses around the country will reelect them. I am definitely going to vote for Ryan now because one of the bright people posted on here that he only dated the black girl because it would help him when he ran for vice president. if he is that clairvoyant, then we need him helping run this country.
My best friend is black. Ryan lies, lies, lies and has told Black folk to their faces he’s going to get rid of Medicare, Medicaid, cut meals on wheel for the Poor, Cut Pell grants that enable Black children to go to college take $780 Billion out of Medicare after turning it into a Coupon System and give that mone to the Rich in Tax Cuts.
Republicans want money flowing yes they do, to the Richest people in this country not YOU!
People if you belive that Black folk are POSIING some of the comments guess again. They are what we call “TROLLS”
TROLLS go to black websites and PRETEND TO BE BLACK because they know the Black Community has some very weak links that will fall for anything that they will throw away their own interest and their families to support Pro Abortion, Bash Gays, you name it.
This election is about Putting food on your table and making sure your relatives and friends can do the same. This election is about Jobs, getting back to work.
President Obama’s hands were tied because of Republicans they refused to pass any Jobs Bills but Pushed through 67 Abortion Bills.
How many jobs could families have had with that 67 Abortion Bills that the Republicans pushed through in the House.
Paul Ryan pushed through with Akin a Bill for “Forceable” any woman who supports a candidate that has absolutely no respect for women is lost.
THis election is not about Religion, no one can take that away. Judging others the last time I checked the Scriptures is just plain wrong.
Paul, David, Peter, Solomon many of God’s Best ministers and apostols had serious sins, but he forgave them and they went on to lead extroadinary lives for Christ
Stop Judging people, being lead by a Republican Party who calls themselves “EVANGICALS” when that word is not in the Scripture is WRONG> God gave us the name CHristians. So the Name God gave them is not good enough they had to rename themselves.
That’s a BEWARE SIGN
Stop falling for these RIch Folk like Ryan and Romney who are all about the RIch.
I can’t speak for any of you but I am about GIVING BACK in any way I can, food, clothes, just a word when God places it in my heart, GUidance, A Smile
Christanity is not about MONEY!
Running around hating on Gay people is just wrong. I can read scripture, I don’t believe in Gay Marriage and I also know that the second Commandment from our Lord and Savior is Love God 1st theh Love they neighbor as they SELF
SO if you cannot love your NEIGHBOR regardless of who they are, you are not Adhering to SCRIPTURE.
Stop judging people, there are no little or big sins, as Jesue when they plan to stone the woman at the well “Ye WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE” they all walke away.
Read the word for yourself and practice it that alone would eliminate so much hate in this country and yes I said hate.
Abortion?????? Really????????????
The most important decision in my life God Gave Me and You a CHOICE CORRECT? He did not force us to be Christians, He said Behold I Stand At the Door and Knock, If any Man want to Sup with me he can come in
So why are the Republicans Making Choices for Women Relative to Abortions?
God mad this life a CHOICE and No Man has the right to make choices for any Man or Woman
I don’t believe in abortion, but it’s not Scripture for me to Focre them to Maks a Choice
Take the best advice my GrandPa gave this family
“It takes 6 months to take care of your business and 6 months to Stay Out Of Everyone Elses”
It Works!
Try praying for those who you feel are makin wrong decisions, our Job as Christians is to listen, guide, pray, lend a helping hand, be encouraging Not HATE
It is my prayer that Abortion, Gay Marriage do not take over peooples decisions because it won’t get or keep your family a job, put food on your table or your family, neighbors, friends, get them jobs
Love those you disagree don’t let others lead you to Hate and speak badly
Jesus said the TONGUE is sharper than a two edge sword, it can cause more hurt than anything.
Hohld your tongue pray and speak if the spirit leads you to and most of all be positive, encourging and the world will be a better plance
From the title of your article; Republican VP Nominee’s College Sweetheart Is A Black Woman. You said all that to say what, he is still a racist, Republican that will “put us back in chains” as per VP Biden.
Look. President Obama can fake the fonk like “those people” do every day. So if that means he shakes hands with whomever to win. Then go for it.
Let me first say, I am neither a Republican or Democrat (whatever that means any d**n way!). I have read a few posts up here and to listen to the “I am black, hear me roar” crowd is sad to me. I know I cannot be about a party/group of a******s that believes in OPPRESSING any group of people. My people and other groups know and live in whatever oppression that was bestowed upon us by the same people courting our vote Today.
Half of the folks on this blog are touting “Jesus” or “Bible” rhetoric and not looking @ history. I was bought up a Catholic and quickly turned Agnostic! Anything that has man’s hands all over it is corrupt and since I haven’t seen Jesus or his father lately – I cannot get with today’s religious crowd. Even more so there are passages in the book of Mormon and the Bible that are devastating to groups of people that I just cannot get with. So taking the religion out of politics, which according to law the both should never meet and they do quite frequently in this country (why is it that no one is up in arms about that! Hmmmmm)- I am voting for the person who comes remotely close to what I believe should be prioritized in this country.
It is not abortion – because I will be damned if I allow some official in Washington tell me what to do with the one thing I still own – my body.
It is not gay rights – because I believe that every person should have the right to be whatever the h**l they want to be and that has nothing to do with the law either. And by the way this is a HUMAN rights issue!!!! Remember that when you go to the polls, especially those of us who were recently GRANTED those rights.
What is important to me is being able to live my life, without somebody on high telling me how to live it. I want to be able to be free in my thinking and have available opportunities. Clean water and clean food. Very basic needs!!
All this other s**t is noise people. Noise that politicians make their living from – while we wallow in the mud where they like to keep us, until they need your vote to keep them on high. Quite frankly, some of them should get High – Washington may actually get some work done!
Stop wallowing and justifying these a******s and really think about the BASICS that make your existence livable.
Are you suggesting that we should give Mr. Ryan a second look because he had a s****l relationship with a black woman while he was in college? If she were good enough for him I wonder why did he not marry her? Did the slave masters not have s*x with their female slaves? There are people in the KKK that have s*x with black woman, it does not mean that black people are worth anything to them. Strom Thurmond had a child by a black woman while he continued to maintain racist views.
Politic is about the convergence of interest. My interest as a black man, does not converge with the republican agenda, therefore I will not vote for them. It is silly to think that because someone is pro-life means that some how, he is the epitome of Christian morality. There is more to Christ’s teachings than being pro-lift.
