Will Sarah Palin Address The Racism In Alaska's Government?
We all know the tenor that the McCain campaign took towards the end. And we all remember Sarah Palin's "pro-America" speeches.With her silence on the discovery of racist e-mails about Obama that circulated within her state's government,it makes you wonder what those speeches were really about.You can draw many inferences from the fact that she has not uttered one single word.Especially since she complained about the sexism in the media every chance she got. If she's an advocate for patriotism & equal treatment, where is her voice on this issue? Whether or not she likes Obama,Sarah Palin should show that she represents all races as the governor of Alaska & condemn these racist emails!Here's more from Telegraph.co.uk:
"Sarah Palin, the Governor of Alaska, was under pressure on Thursday to respond to the discovery that staff members in her state's government had received and forwarded racist emails about President-Elect Barack Obama.
One of the emails asked about the outcome of the Democrat's victory and concluded: "Another black family living in government housing!" Another, entitled "Night Befo Crizzmus," was forwarded dozens of times, according to the state's information technology division. Administration commissioner Annette Kreitzer said: "It's embarrassing to the state."
Mrs Kreitzer said she alerted the office of Mrs Palin, the failed Republican vice presidential candidate in the recent election, about the emails.
Bill McAllister, a spokesman for the governor, said that the matter concerned individual actions taken by a handful of state employees among thousands.
But the lack of a denunciation from the governor failed to satisfy critics who have suspected her of disrespecting the African American community or of holding racist views herself.
The Rev Alonzo Patterson, state chairman of the Alaska Black Leadership Conference, encouraged Mrs Palin to address the emails.
"They're doing that in a state setting," he said. "She should condemn it."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/3833904/Sarah-Palin-urged-to-speak-on-racist-Barack-Obama-state-government-circulated-emails.html
In this video,black Alaskans talk about how Sarah Palin's administration hasn't done anything for African-Americans. She doesn't support the Juneteenth celebration for blacks & apparently has no blacks in her administration. Now we know why she hasn't denounced those racist e-mails.It seems that any issue that concerns blacks is of the least importance to Sarah Palin.I feel for black Alaskans because Palin has turned a deaf ear to their causes.
