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.

Theoneste Bagosora Was Sentenced To Life For Being The Main Instigator Of The Rwandan Genocide!

Theoneste Bagosora should have received death for attempting to wipe out a whole race of people! He was the main culprit behind the Rwandan genocide. But, at least the International Criminal Tribunal is making some headway.This is the first time anyone has been convicted of organizing the brutal killings. Here's more from BBC:

"The sentences will be welcomed by the government in Rwanda, which has come to regard the tribunal as a key part of the process of justice and reconciliation, says the BBC's Peter Greste.

Bagosora has been in custody since 1996, when he was arrested in Cameroon.

Prosecutors said Bagosora assumed control of military and political affairs in Rwanda when President Habyarimana's plane was shot down in 1994 - the catalyst for the genocide.

However, the indictment alleges that he set out to "prepare the apocalypse" as far back as 1990.

The following year, Bagosora helped draft a document circulated within the army that described Tutsis as "the principal enemy".

Canadian General Romeo Dallaire, head of UN peacekeepers in Rwanda at the time, described Mr Bagosora as the "kingpin" behind the genocide.

Gen Dallaire wrote in his memoirs that Bagosora was a "known extremist" who "controlled - as well as anyone could - the genocidal militia"."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7789039.stm

Reader's Issue:I Hate "Blind Items"! It's Like Telling An Incomplete Story!

I just finished reading Terrance Dean's "Hiding In Hip Hip"(On The Down Low In The Entertainment Industry). It was an interesting read because he revealed the sexual molestation that he suffered as a boy. And he says that traumatic experience made him aware of his attraction to men. Terrance Dean also gives great detail about his relationships with women & how he loved the taste of them at one time. He recounts his life in the music & entertainment industry as well. But,every man that was hiding in hip hop remains hidden after you read the last page of the book.The author really is talking about his life on the "down low" & exposing himself only. I appreciated the insight that he gives women who have always wondered about this very secretive lifestyle. I just hate that he talked about these celebrities at all. When you give someone a pseudonym,it makes it hard for me to believe or even care about what transpired. So, I was glad that Terrance Dean didn't just talk about these famous,but anonymous to us, celebrities that he slept with on every page. For me, it's just like reading fiction. I mean, anyone can make up these blind items that pop up on all of these gossip sites. If you want to talk about the hypocrisy of closeted gay-bashing rappers in hip-hop,the message gets lost if your audience is left guessing.I guess one of my pet peeves is blind items!I freakin' hate them!

This video contains a clip from the Mike & Juliet Show. The author of the book talks about being on the "down-low". This was the subject of the show.
