"I deplore the comments
made by Minister Farrakhan. They're hateful and divisive. But as
much as I detest Minister Farrakhan's comments, I also don't believe
in guilt by association. Sister Claudette Muhammad released a
statement today affirming her commitment to promoting tolerance and
acceptance for people of all races, religions, beliefs and sexual
orientation. That's the very mission of the Hate Crimes Commission.
The Hate Crimes Commission was formed to promote understanding, to
bridge divides and to bring people together. Any member who
demonstrates an unwillingness to support the goals of the commission
will be removed. But they'll be judged by their own words and deeds,
not someone else's." [News release from the governor's office] |
