It seems racism in Minnesota has surfaced once more.
I guess we shouldn't find it surprising that Alan Maki has jumped into the fray.
I think we need to call for Brian Melendez to resign his position as Chair of the Minnesota DFL. Melendez is part of the institutionalized racism that is beginning to permeate and saturate politics at every level. From the nominating process to the problems legislators do and more importantly don't address which has caused the present problems.
Minnesotans understand there is a serious problem that no Native Americans are in the State Legislature.
No one has offered a real solution until now with this letter from Gregory Paquin to Brian Melendez.
Melendez didn't even have the courtesy to respond directly to Gregory Paquin. He had his cronies respond for him. The problem is these cronies are a bunch of racist bigots. Melendez had to have known this.
Anyways here is what is being said.
Gregory Paquin has responded very graciously considering what he is being subjected to just because he wants to see people have better lives.
All Minnesotans should hang our heads in shame that Minnesota politics has come down to this level. We all knew that the problem of racism in the Minnesota DFL was extreme but latent. I don't think any of us knew that it was this serious.
I join Gregory Paquin in thanking the woman who had the courage to bring this issue into public view.
I wonder how much longer the news media will try to conceal this?
It was only in the last election where we saw Rhoda Gilman of the Green Party make the most shocking racist attack on an African-American DFL'er. Now we find the racist attacks reaching a new level in Minnesota politics. This time directed by the Chair of the Minnesota DFL.

Subject: Re: [Minnesota] Fwd: Steven Nelson sent you a message on Facebook...
Mr. Repke;
I am glad to see this response--- in writing--- from you; because,
along with the e-mail and other communications here, especially the one
from Mr. Nelson, we see a pattern developing that here-to-for has been
kept hidden from public view in Minnesota.
Very few candidates, including those presently sitting in the Minnesota
State Legislature "understand the process" as well as you do.
I have had more than a few politicians and sitting public officials
tell me the process is so complicated they leave everything concerning
their filings with the government up to their attorneys and what needs
to be done as far as "nominating conventions" up to party hacks.
You castigate Greg Paquin for what you claim is his lack of
understanding of election laws and the nominating process as if such
understanding is a requirement for holding public office--- if this is
the case, you might consider asking Al Franken to relinquish his seat
in the U.S. Senate because he sure had the attorneys up the wazoo; but,
how many attorneys and how much was spent by the Minnesota DFL because
so many people do not know how to properly fill out an absentee
ballot... not to mention how many county clerks and their staff's don't
know how to count them?
I wonder if you hold all politicians up to the same criteria you have
established for Greg Paquin?
When was the last time you questioned any politician concerning how
well they understand election laws and the nominating process before
you supported them or cast your vote for them? Or, did you ask who
organized the turnout for the nominating process.
I would note, that like Mr. Nelson's thinking about Greg Paquin, there
were a whole lot of people who thought Barack Obama did not have a
chance of getting the Democratic Party endorsement. And, if we listen
to the reason people thought that, according to Richard Trumka, it is
actually very sad; the soon-to-be President of the National AFL-CIO...
stated in no uncertain terms the reason for this thinking was because
of the racism in the ranks of the Democratic Party and among labor
leaders.
How often have you heard people say something like: "All these
Democrats talk a lot, but none of them say anything; it makes me not
want to vote because I don't know where they stand on the issues."
Well, according to Mr. Nelson, Greg Paquin is a good speaker but the
problem is, he doesn't like what Greg Paquin has to say and he
apparently thinks all white people think as he does... because then he
goes even further to suggest that Greg Paquin will only find a receptive
audience for his message among Indians.
And then Mr. Nelson goes on to say that Greg Paquin is opposed to
gaming. Well, how does Mr. Nelson arrive at this conclusion when what
Greg Paquin is saying is that he wants Native Americans to benefit from
the gaming industry instead of politicians... read what Greg Paquin has
written... he says he knows a lot of Indian people who need a meal
before more money is handed out electing politicians who don't even
care about the problems of Native Americans.
As far as "labor leaders;" well let me tel you a little something about
the quality of labor leaders the DFL is associated with and how these
"labor leaders" are participating in the political process you hold so
dear.
Perhaps you do not know this, but Collin Peterson was nominated to run
for the United States Congress from Congressional District 7 at one of
your much ballyhooed "nominating conventions" by one of the most
important and prominent leaders of the AFL-CIO--- Mr. Mark Froemke---
who, I might note, has never stepped forward to question why there are
no Native Americans sitting in the Minnesota State Legislature or in
our Congressional delegation--- were there no qualified Native
Americans that Mark Froemke could have nominated instead of Collin
Peterson?
The problem is, Mr. Froemke was registered to vote in Grand Forks,
North Dakota at the time he crossed the border into Minnesota to
participate in a nominating convention that you say requires being a
registered voter to participate!
How well do you understand Minnesota Election Laws, Mr. Repke? Does
being registered to vote in North Dakota qualify one to participate in
a nominating convention in Minnesota?
Furthermore, you belittle Greg Paquin for not understanding Minnesota
Election Laws as if understanding election laws and the political
process is a qualification to run for public office; but, if you were
concerned that more people should become involved in the political
process, I would think that you would offer to help teach what you know
about the political process to others before suggesting that what they
don't know about election laws disqualifies them from seeking public
office.
Between your post here and Steve Nelson's e-mail, I think most of us
have a pretty good idea why there are no Native Americans sitting in
the Minnesota State Legislature. Who the heck wants to be subjected to
this.
I can't believe what I am reading... this sounds more like the "good
ol' boys club" down in Mississippi trying to keep African-Americans out
of public office before the Voting Rights Act was passed.
Let me tell you a little something about your theory about who wins and
who loses.
Up hear in Roseau County, the County Chair Ley Soltis, announced--- at
the precinct caucus--- the date, time and place where the Roseau County
Democratic Farmer-Labor Party Convention was going to be held.
Apparently the head honchos of the DFL thought my organizing abilities
were a little too much for them to overcome as I was seeking to be
re-elected to the State Central Committee over the wishes of some
people. So, Mr. Soltis and his little clique of highly skilled
organizers decided to be real cute and change the time and place of the
Roseau County Convention, telling only their friends--- leaving the
rest of us sitting outside of the Rural Electric Co-op for two hours
after which he pulled up and said, "Oh, I am so sorry; I forgot to put
a notice up here that we changed the time and place of the County
Convention... oh, well, nothing we can do about this now."
The one and only reason the MN DFL can get any candidates elected is
because so many people detest the Republicans... and, to my way of
thinking that is nothing you want to write home about.
Once these letters and communications see the light of day... the
present DFL Senate and House legislators for Senate District 4 and 4-A
might want to bend over... put their heads between their legs and kiss
their offices good-bye.
I will tell you this as one who would never vote Republican unless Abe
Lincoln was to rise from the grave... if I was a voter in Senate
District 4 or House District 4-A, I would vote Republican before I ever
voted for either of the two DFL candidates now holding these positions
knowing what kind of friends they turned out to support them.
