As a former Detroiter, we all knew he was scum back in the early 70’s but he had the Black Empowerment vote that kept him and other jackals in the Detroit City Hall and legislatures forever.
One shining example is former Mayor Coleman (Marbles in his mouth) Young. Kenneth Cockrel and so many others.
All these politicians were the epitome of corruption, deceit and misconduct yet they were elected time and time again because they were African Americans ONLY.
The fact that he was able to hold onto power for so long shows us that our system is rotten to the core.
reporters knew for years to avoid being alone with conyers, failed to report it.
I'll see you Coleman and raise you one Rep. Bobby Rush (D) of Illinois. He has the worst of speech impediments and, yes, a long history of corruption.
