ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- As governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin has had an at-times testy relationship with black leaders in her state.

They say they've been ignored in their eforts to get more minorities hired in her administration.

Now, as the presidential election nears, Alaska's black leaders say they're not surprised to see the Republican vice-presidential nominee at the center of the controversy over injecting the race issue into the campaign. Palin has repeatedly insisted that Barack Obama's former preacher, the inflammatory Rev. Jeremiah Wright, is a legitimate issue even though John McCain himself has said it's out of bounds.

Many of Palin's black constituents say they're disgusted with the campaign's racial overtones.

Things are just going to get uglier. A very bitter, vengeful mulatto is about to enter the White House, with a wife who has been a black separatist race hustler all of her adult Life. If you have ever objected to any form of welfare whatsoever, get ready for government’s guns to be turned on you full force.

Patterson says Palin is "really inciting a lot of African-Americans to get out and vote."

They were planning on staying home?

NO ONE OWES ANYONE A JOB because of their race, religion or sex! If you have the better skills and do not get the job then they have a legitimate complaint.

In Alaska African-Americans are the minority of minorities. The Native Americans who are there are the ones that deserve any benefits of minority status. When one is the minority, one should not have the voice of the majority. (except of course, if one is ACORN, and cheats like h3ll.)

they've been ignored in their efforts to get more minorities hired in her administration.

The best way to get people hired is to get people educated. That means putting away the books on socialism, activism, and the radical agenda. And picking up books on history, math, and science.

The issue as to Jeremiah Wright = “God Damn America” - not race.

"...the highest approval rating of all 50 USA Governors ..."

What about the other 7?

For me, his race has nothing to do with it. His policies are contrary to our constitution. Therefore he has become an “Enemy from within”. I swore an oath to defend this country from enemies from outside and enemies from within. I must uphold that oath

Is that why she enjoys an 85% approval rating?

Every day I'm ignored by the government I consider to be a good day.

PLUS, I hasten to add, the contingents of Black Panthers and other radical black groups are waiting in the wings for their marching orders. Ok, we’ll wait too, is that racist? No, it’s called self-defense.

Think of Idi Amin and Yasser Arafat having a baby together.

That's what I see in Barack Hussein Obama.

I’m sure if there were any qualified ones they’d be in her administration. There I feel better.

Will the AP follow up with whether downstate, bitter, religious, gun-toting whites feel “neglected” by their junior Senator?
