The above video shows P.Diddy’s latest video blog (vlog) entry, detailing his shock and outrage against John McCain for choosing Sarah Palin as his running mate.
Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you’ve probably heard that Sarah Palin is the governor of Alaska. She’s been the governor for 2 years, and before that, she served as mayor to Wasilla, Alaska.
Yes, to the majority of people who read this, Wasilla will seem like a tiny town, but in Alaska terms, it’s pretty big. It’s in the heart of the MatSu Valley, which is the fastest growing region of Alaska.
According to P.Diddy’s rant, he doesn’t think there are any black people who live in Alaska. He must think that Alaskans are pretty dumb all around. He doesn’t think we have any crime, and from his choice of expressions, I don’t think P.Diddy feels Alaska should even be considered a state….
Well, guess what P.Diddy… I LIVE IN ALASKA and I’ve got some news for you.
We do have black people. And Mexicans. And Chineese. And every other thing you can think of.
In fact, I would dare say that due to the fact that Alaska’s populations is mixed with it’s own native people, PLUS all the other races and nationalities that have moved into the state, I would say that my town in Alaska is more diverse than a lot of towns in middle America.
And yes, Alaska does have crime and crackheads. Not as much as other places, but that’s because our population isn’t as big. You know what we do have a problem with? Drunks. Anchorage is the 2nd deadliest city in the nation for drunk driving accidents.
So is P.Diddy prejudiced against substance abuse users? Raging alcoholics aren’t as hardcore as a crackhead? Problems are problems, and Alaska’s got it’s fair share.
Foreign Policy, you ask? Well, let me see… Alaska is kind of out in the middle of no where, without the security of American borders. Yeah, Canada touches us on one side but for the most part, Alaska stands alone.
When we have an earthquake, Japan feels the tsunami. And vice versa.
In the winter, scientists walk on the frozen water to Siberia.
We don’t have a lot of protection up there. And did you even realize that Alaska was occupied by the Axis Powers during WWII? Probably not.
So we are a bit concerned with foreign policy. I mean, when’s the last time someone in Kansas was worried about a foreign country invading them. They don’t really have to worry about that. But Alaska’s had it happen.
There is an old saying out there, and it goes like this: “Whoever controls Alaska controls the world.”
So, Diddy, just because Alaska isn’t your cup of tea, it doesn’t mean you have to puke all over it. You’ve obviously never been there, and at this rate, you probably shouldn’t bother visiting.
Oh, and I AM NOT endorsing any candidate. You have your own mind, YOU DECIDE who you want to vote for. I just want to share MY OPINIONS ON ALASKA.
