Did you know that the House Ethics Committee is currently investigating seven African American lawmakers for possible ethics violations--15% of the total amount of African American lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives--and not a single European American lawmaker? The Congressional Black Caucus is skittish about pulling the race card just yet, but the probes are the talk of the town behind closed doors.
and there aren't any latino american or asian lawmakers?
ReplyDeleteanyway, the ethics list was leaked, which is yet another example of the president's inability to keep his people "in pocket"
well if they did something wrong they should be investigated shouldn't they?
ReplyDeleteAnon 10:13 you totally miss the point. Of course there are other ethnic lawmakers. They aren't beig investigated either. There aren't enough of them to be perceived as a "problem" for the good ole boys out there. white conservatives don't want Blacks in Congress.
ReplyDeleteso we can look forward to a white consersative taking Maxine Waters' place in so central?
ReplyDeleteriiiiight.
I think politicians are politicians no matter their color. They are all shady to some extent. They have to be to get the job done.
