Rep. Harold Ford, Jr: Family (Race) Issues?

AKA_Monet · #1 04-06-2006, 08:25 PM

My "inside connections" tell me that poor Harold Jr.--ummm, well, has "game issues"... Not that he lacks it... But more like he's not the "allstar pro athelete" that he outta be... And that he's been a "benchwarmer"... And he has the "equipment" but hasn't been shown how to use it... I've been told he's kinna a "nerd"...

The other issues I've heard is that Tennessee is a tough state to run for senator. He's against Bill Frist and Co.

And his choice in women, well, he needs that high powered woman of "pedigree". Panty-throwing women are not desired. This MUST be a woman who has impeccable--pratically spotless record--just because of that "princess and the pea" requirement. No skeleton issues--like she's had an abortion... Like this woman has to be a "virgin" or something... Etc.

The problem I heard was he also wants a "freak"--even though he does not know how to use the equipment.

As far as the Alpha thing, I was told that he was not allowed to pledge in college--it was not recommended for someone of his "stature" or "caliber", because he was trying to run for office, etc... The "frat boy" image would be too much for him... Okay for others, not him...

Of course this is all gossip... And I could be full of it and the wool pulled over my eyes...

LOL... "hasn't been shown how to use it". He seems like a nice guy, and he is cute. I'd consider going out with him, if his family wasn't so crazy.

Good for him. There are still men with some class in this world.

I know someone whose grandparent is believed to be a white person passing for black. This grandparent grew up in Louisiana and was somehow told she was Creole or something of that sort. She looks like a "white complexioned black person" and they joke about her really being white. I've found many whites who look black and blacks who look white (such as some of the blacks in my family from generations past). It wasn't that uncommon for blacks in the South to pass for white either inadvertently or intentionally. I suppose it isn't too farfetched for whites to do the same in some instances.

Ford needs to log onto GC so he can't stop AKA_Monet from further hurting his political career.

I stumbled upon this article. Maybe his grandmother is just like the gentleman mentioned in this article. Perhaps there is a small possibility she wasn't Black and just didn't know it. If Ford feels the need to claim his grandmother was passing (though I have no idea why it really matters or why he feels the need to state this publicly) perhaps he should take a test to prove what percentage of his heritage is of African descent.

As far as him looking for one of OUR sorors as marriage material...who can blame him

lol...Though that whole I'm going to play the field while you have the kiddies is played out...I don't know how he's going to pull that off. Clinton couldn't do it and from what y'all are saying on this Forum he doesn't have a tenth of Clinton's game.

Wow @ the article. There are probably a lot of people this same situation and do not know. Very interesting.

He could possibly pull it off. There are always women who will put up with that kind of mess, because of the "benefits" of being married to someone with a name.

HAHA! That's not very nice.

Maybe he just needs someone to "teach" him, so that the "game issues" will improve. But then again maybe not, if he's 36. If the "issues" haven't improved by now, chances are its not going to happen.

The article is very misleading. Because this man only inherited one half of each parent's DNA (and they inherited only one half from each of their parents, and so on), he could be (and likely is) of African descent. This type of DNA test does not show it, because the African was simply "washed out", so to speak. In Ford's case, he should not get a DNA test, he should get a grip.
