Black America Web's Michael H. Cottman points out an interesting fact of who was in charge during some of these spending choices and possible illegal ties to businesses.
| Have black congressional leaders betrayed the trust of African-Americans who are suffering? Has money been siphoned off from black single mothers and single fathers, raising children alone? What about black high school students who have great promise but no financial resources for college? And have black seniors received their fair share of funding for assistance with health care in their communities? To say the CBCF has an image problem is a huge understatement. What’s clear is this: The Caucus needs an extensive – and immediate – overhaul along with an impartial auditor to oversee the books, page by page, line by line. There are no quick fixes here. The Times story alleges there is so much co-mingling between the Congressional Black Caucus and the CBCF, that it’s difficult to determine where the politics end and non-profit work begins. ....The new chairman of the CBCF – Rep. Donald Payne of New Jersey – hasn’t publicly uttered a word on the subject. Payne inherited this embarrassing mess from outgoing CBCF chairman Rep. Kendrick Meek of Florida, who is busy running for a U.S. Senate seat. Some of the CBCF’s alleged mismanagement happened during Meek’s tenure as chairman, but Meek, like Payne, has also been silent on the need for checks and balances inside the CBCF. |
Sooooo... any of the local papers in the state of Florida want to follow up on this line of questioning to Rep. Meek?
No, they will not challenge him on this, or in regard to the Stackhouse affair, or any other of his transgressions. They believe that blacks should be permitted to do whatever they want - simply because they are black. Laws, morality, ethics, justice do not apply to blacks. Except, of course, if they can be manipulated to benefit them. Fox News just presented a puff piece with Meek talking about how ethical he is, and how other politicians should be more ethical. Imagine! The other, progressive media bow and lick at his feet. It's disgusting.
ReplyDeleteThe previous poster is totally correct. What is going on? Why does it seem that no one, especially media venues such as newspapers, colleges, public committees etc. will challenge a black person if they commit ethical errors, or legal errors, or simple rude behavior? It seems like they are all afraid of blacks. Seriously, what is the deal here? When did it become taboo to single out something someone does if that person is black? It is disgusting. It is not a rule that we have to be politically correct at all times. Grow a pair, and call it out the way it is. Attack someone if they are wrong, and stop being scared to attack or question them if they are black. The race card thing is so old. Enough already. If Kendrick Meek is guilty of scandalous activity, and bribes, and misuse of a government position, blow the whistly, call it out, stop be sissies.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you look into Politicians who support Jewish charties and foundations and votes and unsavory connections that help their causes. I guarantee you will not do that. Of course if those Jewish groups protest your investigation, will they use the race card?
ReplyDeleteoops, I mean, will you say they are using the "anti-semitic card"?
