Political Analyst Examines Claim that GOP Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin Said She Wouldn’t Hire Blacks In a meeting with a group of prominent African-American leaders on April 29, 2008 Alaska governor Sarah Palin allegedly said that she wouldn’t hire blacks in her cabinet or on her staff. This explosive charge—if true-- would cast serious doubts on Palin’s fitness for the vice-presidency. Political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson does an in-depth examination of the accuracy of the claim. He talked to members of Palin’s staff, the McCain-Palin campaign committee, and Alaska’s black leaders. Their reactions to the allegation of racial insensitivity by Palin sheds new light on the role race could play in a McCain-Palin administration. “The rumors that Governor Sarah Palin is hostile to blacks and minorities abound,” says Hutchinson, ”They have been grist for the gossip mill on the internet. As always the truth of Palin’s views and actions on race and diversity are far more complex than the allegations and speculation.” “Did Palin Really Say She Wouldn’t Hire Blacks” is on the September 24 edition of the Hutchinson Political Report website at earlofarihutchinson.blogspot.com “Earl Ofari Hutchinson is an author and political analyst. His new book is The Ethnic Presidency: How Race Decides the Race to the White House (Middle Passage Press, February, 2008).
