Has anyone seen the article in this week’s The Gazz, “Workin’ in a coal mine”?  It highlights Morgan Spurlock’s TV show “30 Days” and an episode filmed in WV about coal mining.  I’d like to point out his comments about the recent WV support for Hillary Clinton.  “I don’t think WV is racist,” he said.  “I think WV supporting Hillary Clinton has to do more with jobs.”  Morgan states that he has a good understanding of the state since he was born and raised here.  I’d like to hear more about his viewpoint especially after he worked so closely with miners in Beckley coal country during the filming.  Why does he think it’s about jobs and not racism?  If that’s true, then why does the national media hunt out the few people that they know will discuss the race card rather than employment.  If West Virginians are more concerned with jobs, then what can we do to make sure that gets on the national news rather than the race card? 

Thoughts…..
