I assume, rightly, I’m sure, that this woman is “African American”.

Why is it that politicians of this demographic invariably use their offices to spend “Whitey’s money” on their brethren and personally enrich themselves?

I’m sorry if you’re offended by this observation, but the thing to do about it is get mad at the people who are creating and perpetuating the stereotype and not at the person pointing it out.

I just checked her website, and Martha Coakley is not African-American:

However, she does appear to be appealing to a particular demographic. A form of “vote buying”, if you ask me.

MrB! Your posts are always worth reading, but I'm afraid you laid an egg with this one.

Happens to us all, I'm afraid.
