Did Willow Palin post racist comments on her blog?
This is from the comments section of the Jamie Lee Curtis article on Huffington-

"From the moment this woman started spewing what she thought the public wanted to hear, I was turned off. I was even more turned off when I read her daughter (Willow) blog,Ranting to" leave them alone,give them their privacy,so what her sister is pregnant, we are not black!" Posters were ripping into her for such a racist remark that she changed black to ghetto,which wasn't any better. Her entire blog has been dismantled now and some are popping up claiming it was a fake blog,IT WASN'T. There was too much personal information as well as her having had the blog long before her mother was named as running mate. There is no way I can relate to this woman who lives in a glass house and has a 14 year old racist child. learned behavior."

I know about the "wayback" website--how hard would it be to find an old blog?

I am seeing too many "overheard" or "read on a blog" racist comments from the Palin family-- starting to wonder if there really is a problem there. (could just be internet crap--I don't know yet)

1. If the kids--and parents--do this in private on a regular basis, they'll do it publicly
sooner or later, too.

2. I suspect they have been
known to toss around a racist remark or 2...if you look at the complaints she had against her brother in law she accused him of racist remarks...how she knew this is ..he was probably pretty comfortable using them around her and her family...just a guess...anyhoo Im not going to jump on this till something with more proof pops up ....its just my mhlo.

3. It's easy to print this stuff without a link
And I'm not saying we shouldn't go after these rednecks. All I'm saying is if you cry wolf too many times no one ends up believing the real remarks....that being said I sure hope someone comes up with the old blog.

4. Cache...

The issue though is that if this was Willow, she would be confusing her own father's name with that of her sister's boyfriend. Unlikely.

But then again who knows. Either way if there is any truth to the racism attributed to this family i find it incredibly disturbing.

==============
Levi is a nice guy, and yes, maybe he said he didn’t want kids but im sure he will somehow figure that he needs to quit sports, quit having fun, maybe quit highschool marry my sister and live happy for ever! Also the babydaddy comments are rude, do we look ghetto? I will add another post later, I have to go console bristol, leave her alone! just leave her alone!

p.s: OMG! 91210 is coming on soon! yay!

6. It just seems that these rumors keep popping up--
it's all "she said/he said" crap right now--and yet, there seem to be several.

We'll see in the end, I suppose.

8. I think you are correct
I am probably looking at some of the same links you are, and it seems to be crap to me also.

The poster that I quoted in my OP seemed to believe it so strongly-- I will also admit that I feel so repulsed by this family, that it's pretty easy for me to read stuff like that and wonder.
