The White Witch Of Rose Hall Is A Jamaican Supernatural Legend!

I've been to the Rose Hall plantation & I bought a little voodoo doll as a souvenir. Let me tell you that I felt nothing supernatural. It could be that I'm just not receptive to these sorts of things. But, I did go on the tour in the daytime. Maybe the ghost of Annie Palmer only comes out at night. It wasn't even spooky. I did feel sad because this woman had murdered so many slaves on that plantation. That was the scary part. Here's an excerpt from an article about the "haunted" plantation:

"Rose Hall is one of the finest examples of colonial great houses on the island of Jamaica, but what truly makes it legendary is the fact that locals believe the house has been haunted for decades by the ghost of Annie Palmer, better known as the White Witch.

Since her death in the early 1830s, the spellbinding legends surrounding Rose Hall have been woven into Caribbean folklore and have been immortalized in at least a dozen Gothic novels including the H. G. De Lisser novel, The White Witch of Rose Hall, published in 1928." (END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here:

Sarah Palin Had "Soul" On SNL! How Does She Treat Blacks In Alaska?

Sarah Palin sure was able to groove like a black person on SNL during the Alaskan rap segment. But, how well does she fair with the African-Americans where she governs? Here's an excerpt from the New York Daily News that talks about just that:

"She has no sensitivity to minorities," said the Rev. Alonzo Patterson, a Baptist minister and president of the Alaska Black Leadership Conference. "She's really inciting a lot of African-Americans to get out and vote."

Since taking office in December 2006, Palin has had a sometimes tense relationship with black leaders, who say they have been ignored in their efforts to get more minorities hired in her administration.

In Alaska, blacks chafed when Palin opposed a proclamation endorsing a festival that marks the freeing of slaves. On the campaign trail, her events sometimes have attracted fringe groups hostile to minorities. At one rally attended by Palin, a supporter told a black cameraman to "sit down, boy."
