DEEP!
This really concerns me as a proud African-American. I hope the rest of
you think real serious about this when you go to vote. I don't know how
accurate that was, but it's very disturbing, being that this is the second time
TODAY, that I've read about Bush, and what he thinks of Blacks. I don't
know how many of you are stationed in Europe, but, in February 15th's edition of
Stars and Stripes it's talking about his reaction to the
dragging death of James Byrd Jr. This man's family was pushing for a hate
crime law in Texas, and Bush made it clear that the bill was not to reach his
desk. Even though he was the state governor at the time, he didn't even have the
decency to acknowledge such a horrific act committed in his very own state. Some
very high profile individuals attended the funeral, and it was very
inappropriate for the state governor to ignore this, and not attend. When the
victim's daughter, 4 months pregnant, bleeding, and on the verge of miscarriage
flew from Hawaii, to Texas for a long sought after meeting, he kept the meeting
to 10 minutes. He never shook her hand, offered her a tissue, a glass or water,
or even sympathized with the family for what they've gone through. She asked him
about the hate crimes bill, and he admitted "he hadn't had time to review
it". So she pulled a copy out and laid it on his desk. He didn't even pick
it up. Come on yall, is this who we want leading our country, or our ARMED
FORCES???!!!! Someone who regards Blacks as second class citizens, and
doesn't even try to hide it? I want you all to think real hard about this one.
And remember, NOT voting can have the same effect as voting FOR him.
.................
FYI, This is a must see!
Your possible future President refused to sell his home to Blacks. This
must be passed to any and everyone. Brothers and Sisters, Please
read and pass along. We must remember this at the polls, and choose
wisely.
