The urgency is right now!!! We have 5 weeks before to the PA primary. We must refocus this race on the issues that unite us and agree that we can as a nation work to improve race relations in this country.
Racism and/or race relations in America are being used to derail the Presidential candidacy of Senator Obama. We must do everything possible to prevent the plans of the Sean Hannity and other conservative hosts from ending Obama's historic journey. Last night Sean was celebrating Obama's defeat as the nominee. He claimed credit for the defeat of John Kerry.
I know that you will agree with me that Obama's speech today was incredible in so many ways. One of the things that Obama did today was to put race, racism, and discrimination on the table for an honest debate.
I believe that nothing happens in this world by chance. It is a divine moment that Senator Obama is just months away from being a President for all Americans. It is also a divine moment for me because I have written and published a book for just this time in our history. "A Case of Racial Discrimination and Retaliation Real or Imagined" will show the world the hardships and unfairness of employment discrimination.
I know that my divine purpose is to shed light on employment discrimination in America. That light will reveal that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 must be amended again.
My book is a powerful tool to show Black, White, and all Americans that discrimination and racism is real and a daily struggle for some black people. The book also shows that Governor Spitzer victimized me in his role as the Attorney General of NYS and that the courts including the United States Supreme Court failed me in this case.

Black Super Model Apologizes for Disappearing
Waris Dirie, a super model born in Somalia, disappeared for three days last week, creating a nation-wide police search throughout all of Belgium. Dirie was set to appear at a conference hosted by The European Union for International Women's Day.
Dirie reappeared suddenly, apologizing Saturday for her disappearance and offered litte explanation as to her whereabouts.
In addition to being a super model, Dirie is a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador. She has been outspoken about the practice of female genital mutilation taking place around the world. She has described a process in which a woman's clitoris is removed with a dirty blade, with no anesthesia.
The spokesman for the Brussel's prosecutor's office, Jean-Marc Meilleur, said that police have closed their investigation.
"She gave little explanation. She only said that she walked around during the three days and said she was lost," Meilleur said. "She said she slept in several lobbies of hotels because she had no money."
Dirie issued her public apology during an interview on Belgian Television. People were worried because just last week, another woman from Africa who spoke against genital mutilation was found dead in the Seine River. Katoucha Niane, who was born in Ghana, was found to have had no foul play in her death, according to French police.
