You inspired me to look. I searched for the non-whites.....missed the black women...but I did see a black man at 1:15. He had a radio mike clipped to his chest....looked like a security guard to me.

I suppose those "other" Americans are good for something after all.

This is a fun game ... spot

This is a fun game ... spot the black woman in the Palin video. Kind of like Where's Waldo, but not nearly so politically correct.

But I guess I'm not as good at the game as you are. I see an out-of-focus slightly olive or darker skin woman in the background at :45 and 1:04, who may or may not be black (she also may or may not be Native American / Italian / mixed heritage / tan / etc). But yeah, a black man definitely appears in the far background for less than a second at about 1:04. Kudos for finding him. The black man at 1:11 and 1:16 is a cop who presumably is being paid to protect Palin from the black man at 1:04 (OK, that might not be a fair assumption).

Congrats on looking hard to

Congrats on looking hard to find 2 secs worth of non-whites in 1:50 of vid.. If you want to call that lie, go crazy.

And BTW: "it's a blatant lie to say I said she made it entirely with white women."

Did you even watch the video?

Did you even watch the video? I see black women @45 sec, the same black woman in a close up @47 sec, another black woman @1:04 sec, a black man @ 1:11 and 1:16. While the add did have mostly white women, it's a blatant lie to say she made it entirely with white women. I don't like Palin any more than the next guy, but lying is unbecoming and gives fuel to the crazies.
