If the crooked banker for the mob had won, do you suppose these CFL-bulbs would be running this story?
What a shock, what's next we must have a gay hispanic in a Senate seat? Or an Asian in a Senate seat?
This is what those creeps mean by "social justice". They think they deserve to have whatever they want because of the evil white people.
Hate to see Diablo in but I'm glad to see Burris go. I wish that guy and Judy Baar Topinka would move to Russia and leave us alone already.
This is a blog by an outside writer...
“Edward McClelland is the author of Young Mr. Obama: Chicago and the Making of a Black President, which will be published in October by Bloomsbury Press. His writing has also appeared in The New York Times, The Nation, and on the websites Salon and Slate, among others.”
Whatever happened to the Barack Obama guy?
Didn’t they try to sell his Senate seat to another black man?
I’m sure they would have run the same story had Giannoulias won. /sarc
The Senate can be “re-integrated” by having Chuck Schumer resign and replaced with Alvin Greene. Not legal you say? The law doesn’t matter when it comes to race issues. I’m sure Schumer or some other Dem would be happy to “take one” for “integration.” I’m also sure Alvin would be willing to step forward to take up the challenge.
OK, I’m ready to trade Allen West to the Senate to replace Bill Nelson and Tim Scott to the Senate to replace Lindsey Graham.
Problem solved
Disagree. Detroit has a far larger black representation, and look at it. Chicago is second, and it is a freakin mess.
I say this: So bloody what?
There is actually an enormous irony here, but not one that you’ll see in the media.
Blacks and Jews both vote Democratic overwhelmingly. Thus it is reasonable to assume the proportion of Democratic senators should roughly equal their share of the Democratic electorate.
Jews roughly 4%, blacks roughly 20%, assuming half of the US population votes Democratic.
There are zero black senators (0%) and 13 Jewish senators (26% of Democratic electorate).
It appears the Jewish Democrats have swiped all the black Senate seats. Why is the “proportionate to population” rule never applied to this group?
Caveat: I’ve had difficulty determining how the recent elections affect this spread.
Reminds me of the song “Guilty of Being White” by a 80s’ punk band Minor Threat.
So why not whine over the seat now being occupied by that cracker John F. Kerry which used to belong to an African-American long before Carol Mostly Fraud moved into the Illinois seat won by Mark Kirk?
“...Carol Moseley Braun, Barack Obama and Roland Burris...”
Don’t know about Roland, but the other two are sure sleazebag cheats that could get nowhere without voter crime, and money laundering (felons, even, if our justice system had a chance of ever working again...)
If you want blacks in there with honor and integrity, try Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, and just about every black I’ve known.
Carol and Barack can stuff it up their smelly Obamas.
He keeps naming black politicians who are scandal plagued crooks implying all black politicians should be allowed to steal with both hands.
There is a new standard for excellence in service by members of our race. The human race,that is.
Allen West.
They traded one democrat for another.
So I’m sure this writer will be supporting Michael Williams when he runs for Senate from Texas in 2012.
