Another Crooked Black Politician
by Jeff Davis
Only one thing is more certain than finding a fat, middle-aged White politician, who’s been taking bribes –that’s finding a Black politician, who’s been taking bribes. Black corruption has always been a worse and more certain phenomenon. While a significant percentage of White politicians (at least in their younger years) were motivated by idealism and made some effort to live by ethical standards, this sort of attitude appears rare among Black politicians. Even the Blacks granted “sainthood” by the mainstream media such as Martin Luther King Jr. leave much to be desired. King left a long trail of prostitutes in his wake. His “brave” efforts at civil disobedience were not quite so heroic when it’s remembered than an army of liberal lawyers were all set to defend him. In contrast, real political heroes today such as the Minutemen risk prosecution if anything happens while they attempt to guard our nation’s border. The Minutemen would have to pay any legal expenses out of their own pockets.
Blacks have routinely behaved badly in positions of authority throughout history –often against their own kind. Virtually all tribal chiefs in Africa have a cruel streak a mile wide. One Zulu chief remarked “If I don’t feed someone to the crocodiles now and then, the people will forget who is chief.” Most historians deliberately bypass the fact that Black slaves were routinely sold into slavery by their cousins in rival tribes. Black nations in Africa have the worst credit ratings of any nations –anywhere– thanks to the boundless corruption of their leaders. Not only can’t the typical African population produce anything (aside from digging minerals out of the ground) but the leaders make things worse by taking up huge loans, which they swiftly convert into Swiss bank accounts. The smarter crooks in Africa leave their homelands and live out their lives in some plush resort thanks to money often pilfered from charities based in Europe and America.
US history is replete with Black corruption. During Reconstruction (a corrupt time after the Civil War), many Whites who had fought for the Confederacy were denied the right to run for office or vote. Blacks were artificially boosted up to be the elected politicians for the South. The result was both comical and tragic as corruption and incompetence became the order of the day. Even the vengeful North gave up its attempt to rule the South with Black political puppets.
The Blacks have been allowed their small presence in the House of Representatives as long as they don’t cause too much trouble. It seems fairly certain that most –if not all– of these Black politicians have their hands in the cookie jar, but their transgressions are typically ignored because there would be screams of “racism” whenever one of them would be rounded up.
Conditions in Washington however are far from normal today. An unpopular war in Iraq is sinking the GOP. The recent corruption scandal involving Duke Cunningham, Tom Delay, Jack Abramoff and a long list of mostly Republican politicians is another major problem. Karl Rove and the neocons needed desperately to “balance” the spin on the corruption scandal. So what did they find to embarrass the Democrats? A corrupt Black politician of course. William Jefferson, a Black congressman under investigation for bribery was caught on videotape accepting $100,000 in $100 bills from an FBI informant. The money later was found hidden in the Congressman’s fridge.
Jefferson is already hollering racism, of course. His lawyer held a press conference alleging that the investigation was “part of a public relations agenda…” Jefferson represents Katrina-ravaged New Orleans and yet while his city lay in ruins, he was busy taking bribes in exchange for kickbacks from contractors. He is only one of a long line of corrupt Black “lawmakers” who have been caught on tape giving in to their greed and lust, from Washington D. C. mayor Marion Barry who was caught smoking crack with a prostitute in a motel room to Florida’s Congressman Alcee Hastings, who has the distinction of being the only Federal judge ever impeached and removed from office by the Senate for corruption since Reconstruction, whereupon Hastings blithely ran for the House of Representatives and his Black constituents voted him in handily.
The Democrats can find a silver-tongued rascal with no other skills, dress him up in a five thousand-dollar suit, give him an affirmative action degree from a prestigious university and win election after election in Black districts– but they’re still just putting lipstick on a pig. Few -if any- Black politicians are capable of recognizing the fundamental difference between what is theirs and what is not. The whole quota system and welfare state (which the Black Democrat politicians support) is a massive legalized version of theft. They simply cannot keep their fingers out of the cookie jar whether as individuals or a group.
