The racial dynamics of the sexual harassment allegations against Congress' longest-serving member are causing division within the Democratic Party.
[Snip]
Some have noted that the response to Conyers, who many consider a civil rights icon, seem harsher than how party leaders have responded to other Democrats facing allegations.
The congressman's attorney told CNN that Pelosi has to "explain what the discernible difference between Congressman Conyers and Sen. Al Franken is."
Conyers's district is predominantly black and includes large portions of Detroit. Franken, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by at least five women, represents constituents in Minnesota who are overwhelmingly white.
Conyers is somewhat of a legend in black political circles, having employed Rosa Parks and as a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus.
On Tuesday, Rep. Cedric L. Richmond (D-La.), the CBC chair, called for the need for equal treatment across the board

Good question ... explain why the black democrat pervert gets treated different from white democrat perverts?
WINNING!
It’s fun watching the left trying to figure out who among them is the most “victimy”.
:D
This is all because the Moore attack backfired on the Dems. Gloria Allred can’t be found, ANYWHERE...
White privilege bitches!
Also..ageist discrimination
It really IS okay to be white.
Gee, a fella could do a few things to amplify this problem, if he wanted to.
And if he was the President.
“This is all because the Moore attack backfired on the Dems. Gloria Allred cant be found, ANYWHERE...”
I am sure Allred’s reputation is in the toilet in Alabama. Probably why the dimoKKKRATS’s pulled her sorry butt out of there.
every day is a wonderland!
I listened to NPR for a while today and they were re-hashing the Anita Hill / Clarence Thomas issue.
So they’ll go after a black if he’s conservative, even if the issue is 20 years old. These liberal jerks are a real piece of work.
Also, they seem completely unable to distinguish the difference between an inappropriate remark, an inappropriate touch, a grope, a rape, a threat to fire someone for failing to have sex, stalking, etc., etc. None of these are good things, but I think 99% of thinking people would agree that an inappropriate remark can be a matter of interpretation.
The rats are racist. Want to throw Conyers overboard, yet keep white
Franken.
I hope there are protest in the streets over this racist stance.
“On Tuesday, Rep. Cedric L. Richmond (D-La.), the CBC chair, called for the need for equal treatment across the board.”
And there it is. The moral equivalency of locker room talk between guys and groping women and paying them off with taxpayer dollars.
Yup!...New term:
"RATvert"
Baw haw!
The WaPo needs to fire all of their white employees.
Not only racial discrimination, but age discrimination.
Congressional privilege.
Totally racist, agreed. Get rid of both these clowns - remember, it shouldn’t be about the color of their skin but the content of their character.
