corruption in Philadelphia

Here's a new perspective. Now the AG is claiming the newspapers story on her is all racists.

In a statement to The Inquirer on Friday, Kane called the investigation poorly conceived, badly managed, and tainted by racism, saying it had targeted African Americans.

Those who favored the sting believe Kane killed a solid investigation, led by experienced prosecutor Frank G. Fina, that had ensnared several public officials and had the potential to capture more. They said they were outraged at Kane’s allegation that race had played a role in the case.

Before Kane ended the investigation, sources familiar with the inquiry said, prosecutors amassed 400 hours of audio and videotape that documented at least four city Democrats taking payments in cash or money orders, and in one case a $2,000 Tiffany bracelet.

Sources with knowledge of the sting said the investigation made financial pitches to both Republicans and Democrats, but only Democrats accepted the payments

That "racist" claim seems to be the last resort retort by some folk on the left.

For more than a few it has become the first retort.

Speaking of which if this does not make you laugh it should make you cry.

What incorrigible racist said the following?

“Fewer young black and Latino men participate in the labor force compared to young white men. And all of this translates into higher unemployment rates and poverty rates as adults.”

“In troubled neighborhoods all across this country — many of them heavily African-American — too few of our citizens have role models to guide them.”
“We know that more than half of all black children live in single-parent households. . . . We know the statistics — that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of school; and 20 times more likely to end up in prison.”

“We know young black men are twice as likely as young white men to be ‘disconnected’ — not in school, not working.”

As you might guess, Paul Ryan said none of these things. Barack Obama did — in heartfelt speeches at a Chicago church in 2008, at Morehouse College in 2013, and at the White House a few weeks ago."...

Nice post BB. :clap:

And President Barack Obama Jr. should know. His father abandoned him before his first birthday. His step father didn't last much longer. His mother dumped him with her parents.

And what was my post? Chopped liver?

And BB's post above is no a good analogy. President Obama is black and there is no way these statement can be considered racist. Now, if these comments were made by a white politician...
