Her silence speaks volumes - by not speaking out against it she is condoning the spread of these racial emails.
There is certainly enough evidence that shows Palin is a bigot.
Racist Emails on State of Alaska Accounts: A Palin Connection?Sarah Palin herself while on the campaign trail said over and over again about Obama, "He's not one of us. He doesn't see America like we do." The implications of these statements are obvious and based on stirring up racial fears and hatred.
Excerpts: sources that I have spoken to in Alaska acknowledge that there is a pervasive "atmosphere of racism" throughout pockets of state government. "You hear it all the time," said one. "It's accepted as part of normal conversation. No one can be surprised by this. Sarah has done nothing to stop it."
Palin has long had strained relations with Alaska's African American community. "Blacks don't have the levels of access to the governor and state commissioners as with past administrations," said African American attorney Rex Butler and an Alaska resident since 1983. "It seems the posture of (Palin's) administration with Blacks is: Don't need them, don't worry about them."
Gwendolyn Alexander, the president of Alaska's African-American Historical Society, detailed controversies such as Palin's staffing practices, Palin allegedly stating she "doesn't have to hire any Blacks" for major projects and her refusal to attend that state's major African-American celebration - Juneteenth.
