Blacks in Congress claim ethics inquiries are racially based

  The propensity of blacks (and many left-wing whites) to scream “racism” when any black is investigated is old-hat. But it not only isn’t stopping, the practice is increasing:

““Is there concern whether someone is trying to set up [Congressional Black Caucus] members? Yeah, there is,” a black House Democrat said. “It looks as if there is somebody out there who understands what the rules [are] and sends names to the ethics committee with the goal of going after the [CBC].”

African-American politicians have long complained that they’re treated unfairly when ethical issues arise. Members of the Congressional Black Caucus are still fuming over Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to oust then-Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.) from the House Ways and Means Committee in 2006, and some have argued that race plays a role in the ongoing efforts to remove Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) from his chairmanship of that committee.”

  Jefferson as you may recall was found with $90,000 in cold cash in the freezer compartment of his refrigerator and was later convicted on numerous criminal charges. Rangel’s involvement in various lawbreaking and tax avoidance schemes is literally public  record. Decent people caught red-handed in such illegal shenanigans would have been embarrassed  and resigned. Not Democrats. Not black Democrats.

  Instead they claim racism.

  Enough of this nonsense. If those blacks can convincingly prove that the ethics investigation mechanism created by their own Party is somehow flawed, let them prove it. But screaming racism whenever a black is investigated is not very convincing.
