... the gal named after a California prison.

She's not named after the prison and she's not actually African-American. Her father was a White Australian and her mother was Afro-Cuban.

Soledad O'Brien goes along with the whole "Black in America" thing as part of her career, but it's not really what her life has been about.

She was actually named "María de la Soledad Teresa O'Brien" after the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Same as her god Barrack Obama she has zero slave blood but has benefited from affirmative action scams. Eric Holder is also an affirmative action scammer... from Barbados. Zero slave blood.
Soledad O'Brien married a very white looking guy. How come she did not marry a fellow affirmative action beneficiary? She is no darker than some Greeks and Italians you find in America
