JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida congresswoman indicted on fraud charges is telling supporters she’s being “persecuted” by federal authorities because she’s black.

U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Fla., and her chief of staff pleaded not guilty after being indicted last week on multiple fraud charges and other federal offenses.

There’s also the now iron-clad defense of “no clear intent” to have broken the laws in question, in addition to the fact the laws alleged to have been broken were written by white racists to feed more black people into the nursing home-prison pipeline.

Do you really ‘blame’ her?

There was a TV show called ‘Homicide:Life on the Streets’ c 1990s, about Baltimore and one of the lead characters was Andre Braugher and one of the white detectives was mentioning all the Corrupt Black PD Leaders City Officials and the Black Detective (Braugher) remarked

It is our turn now.

Nothing like throwing out the race card to taint a jury.

It is so predictable.

She comes from a long tradition of blaming Whitey for her self-inflicted ills.

So Obama and Loretta Lynch are racists?
= = = = = = = = = =
Of COURSE THEY ARE...

And the beauty of it is, the age old ‘Blacks can not be Racist because they don’t have the power’ Just doesn’t (or shouldn’t) wash here.

For the BLACK pResident of the US and his BLACK Chief Law Enforcement Officers to stand up and publicly scream that

‘Us Black Folks don’t stand a chance of getting ahead’...

An ‘honest media’ would focus on that 24/7
ALSO
‘WE’ ‘gripe’ about the number of Black one family parents and also ‘gripe’ about abortions.
Think how many one parent families if they weren’t killing themselves off.

Kind of like the Party (R) that doesn’t want abortions also doesn’t want welfare.
And the Party (D) that doesn’t mind killing in the name of abortion has a real problem with executing Murderers etc etc

Both Parties at least should be consistent with their views, just the flip flop makes for dissent from both sides

It's used because it works, but only for those on the political Left. A patriotic black American such as Larry Elder is regularly excoriated for what he says simply because he's a black guy that has a lot of problems with American Leftism.

Yo Tilt.....Scrapple was a favorite during the WWII years when meat was rationed. Our family ate it quite often.
Back East the Philadelphia brand was popular.
Thanks for the memory.

"A Florida congresswoman indicted on fraud charges is

Corrine, as usual you have it again.
You're being prosecuted not persecuted by the Feds.
It's Christians and white heterosexual men who are
persecuted by the federal government.
