Sarah disses African Americans on an Important day for them , also doesnt let them in on the OIL Contracts, but I'm playing the race card?
Her record on Minority issues is VERY IMPORTANT, since she will be VP to millions of minorities.

You have to ignore some of the people here. Some here believe that the Republican party is God's party (which makes me laugh, seeing as I can't imagine God endorsing ANY political party), and that if you point out any wrong-doing on the Republicans' part, they will get defensive. The ratio of anti-Obama threads vs. anti-McCain threads is proof of this.

My problem with all of this is why does it seem that the people always bringing up race, color, creed are those that supposedly want MLK's dream to be achieved?

Well Tracydolls, maybe Ms. Palin does not like to eat pig chitterlings (guts), fat back, and drink 40 oz. Colt .45s.
She does seem like a healt oriented person.
Thanks

Babylon will not be healed. I just don't think it is possible here in the US.
I think it is very important that her record is shown. She doesnt believe in MLK's Dream. That much is obvious.

Because she didn't attend an event that usually results in gang violence, shootings and fights? Um, ok.

Is it racist to say that tacos, beans, rice, carnitas and barbacao is going to be available at a Mexican festival?
Seriously asking, because it seems the race card can be played by only some and then they cry foul when it is returned in kind.

I am not a health nut; love fat back and chitterlings (fried not boiled) but will pass on the booze.

I think the saddest thing about this election is the degree to which unsubstantiated blog posts have passed for fact; and it has happened on both sides of the election. Someone had a Wordpress account, Tracy read it, so it must be true.

I haven't read the links Tracy..but..
As a minority and an individual I'm strongly resisting and rejecting any sort of boxing me, straitghtjacketing me and etc
I am not conforming with any of those as I do not find anyone representing me in the present electoral ballots around.
I do not reckon or brain computing or embracing the status quo at all.
Thanks.

I have a hard time imagining that race won't sneak in there somewhere. We've come a long way since the 60's, but we haven't quite arrived at where we need to be.
For what it's worth, I think RC's comment may have been in just, but not really appropriate. My wife taught in the inner city for years. What RC meant as a joke would be perceived in that community as anything but funny. Sometimes it's better to remain silent than to "respond in kind".

RC,
How dare you. chitterlings are the intestants. You kill the pig. Get out the intestants.(am I spelling that right). You first squeeze like a tube from one end to the other to get the dodo out then you slap it against a tree to try to get it even cleaner. Then you boil them and/or fry them up.
We serve those each year out our community day. It's the best seller.
I don't eat that suff!!!! Husband does.
I think you all know that I am white as is my husband. Believe it or not "fat back" is normal for us to use in our food. We don't drink beer. So I cannot speak to that.
We also raise our own hogs!!!!!

what i find racist is that a white person can't be appointed to a position in Alaska without the natives getting up in arms. If the arguement that a position was held by a native Alaskan for 25years is valid in preventing a white person from holding that office would it be ok to say that since the presidency of the US has been held by white males for the past couple hundred years only white males need apply? Was the white person appointed to the post capable of doing the job? If so then what does it matter their color?

I would question whether based on those two incidents Palin has a problem with minorities. That's a leap of faith and really not indicative of someone's heart. I'm sure there are more political motives than racial. On the other hand, we all know that there are people who are outright fearful at the though of an African American president. It is my personal opinion that those people who were angry not just angry because McCain was loosing, they can't believe that he's loosing to a black man. The guy who exclaimed that he was mad said he wasn't mad about the economy. We can dress up it up however we want to. You can say it's the race card. The plain truth is, some people are scared for reasons other than politics. The status quo is about to change. The comfort level is about to change. We all know there are some people who are resistant to change. They don't want to be moved out of their comfort zone. I can understand that. And I have compassion for those people. I won't sit here and try to invalidate their fear. They have every right to be afraid whether I think it's rational or not. I can just acknowledge it.
