Now keep expanding your search.
Look at the elected officials that the Feds have either brought down in recent months (Nagin, Kilpatrick, Jackson), and currently investigating Gray in DC.
Look at the elected officials that have been found corrupt in the past (Barry, Mayor of Birmigham, and a myriad of lesser elected black officials that we regularly read about).
Look at the Congress members recently coming under ethics investigations (Waters, Rangel).
There is a higher rate of corruption among black officials. This is obvious. We should not be afraid to voice the truth.
But, to address the specifics of your three black official-three white officials in the present case, there are far more white New York state Senators than there are black New York state Senators. Thus, the three corrupt black Senators represents a higher rate of corruption among the New York state Senators than the white rate.
