Why Isn't McCain Condemning The Racism Coming From His Supporters?!
Do you see why I would never entertain voting for John McCain? He has not come out & criticized his supporters for saying this type of stuff. "Bomb Obama" is the chant of one crazed McCain supporter! While all this is going on, my guess is that McCain will stay silent on this. He doesn't want to lose any support. Even if he has to create a further divide in the country to do it! This behavior must be something that McCain finds tolerable. He sure knew how to speak out about racism when it involved John Lewis. Where's his irritation & anger now?

Keep Your Eyes On The Current Humanitarian Calamity in Rwanda!
Everyone should know by now about the 1994 mass killings in Rwanda. Here in the US there weren't many people who knew about it including me. But by seeing movies like Sometime in April & Hotel Rwanda, a lot of people have been clued in on the genocide that has taken place there.This video touches on another aspect of the Rwanda killings. The surviving witnesses to the Rwanda mass murders are being killed.For an even deeper insight on the 1994 Rwandan incident go here:

Well, there is a horrific crisis going on at this very moment. Here is an excerpt from CNN Africa:
"He called the humanitarian situation "very alarming," said more than 50,000 people "are on the road," and expressed hope that Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon would send a high-level envoy to the region for talks "as soon as possible."
Representatives of European countries "are talking together" about how best to ease the situation, Ripert said. "We are looking into the most effective and fastest way of helping MONUC," he said, using the French acronym for the U.N. mission in Congo.
Nkunda has accused the Congolese government of failing to protect the Tutsi tribe from Rwandan Hutu militia in Congo." (END OF EXCERPT) Read the full article here:

McCain Has Yet To Denounce The Racism That Has Been Associated With His Campaign!
John McCain was on Larry King Live tonight. He said very little about racism except to say that it wouldn't be much of a factor in this election. There was no mention of how abhorrent it is & how he won't tolerate it. Since it's been coming from his crazed supporters, I feel he should address this issue. The fact that he hasn't should give any minority pause that intends to vote for John McCain. Has he shown any interest in the struggles that minorities continue to face day to day? No, he has not. Watch the video when the reporter asks what exactly John Mccain has done for blacks. His response is : "UH! UH!" This is discomforting to see as an African-American woman. He was at a serious loss for words! That's alarming!!!! Then watch Dr. Claud Anderson's definiton of racism. He shares my viewpoint on the issue.
