African Americans and Michele Henson
I was visited by an African American woman canvasing for Michelle Henson. I asked the young lady, why her candidate wasn't canvasing for herself? She said Michelle was too busy with other matters and she proceeds to speak very highly of her. I became really interested in knowing more about this candidate who is too busy to canvass in my community and sends an alternate instead. I decided to research Michelle Henson. What I discovered about her was quite disturbing to me.
I discovered this pattern of soliciting minorities to do her dirty work has a long history in her family. She was raised in Boston, Mass in a household with African American maids and nannies; now in her campaign the only positions an African American is worthy of holding are canvassing neighborhoods, placing signs in yards and giving handouts. I'm an African American female and to Michelle Henson I'm valued very low on her scale. Please people, do your research and always remember when someone show you who they are, believe them.
Peace and blessings.
