Chicago's Black Elites Fail To Make A Difference


Today former Chicago Public school chief Barbara Byrd-Bennet was in a place that has become far too familiar to many of it's public officials- a courtroom. Bennet plead guilty to 23 charges of corruption in an alleged $23M no-bid contract kickback scheme. She is the latest in an alarming trend of political corruption nationwide, particularly involving black liberals. Over the past 20 years numerous Illinois elected officials have been brought down in corruption scandals. In spite of the black left's superiority complex, their track record in the state of Illinois is nothing short of dismal.

Former Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., as well as an astonishing 4 of the past 7 Illinois Governors have been sent to prison. Besides Jackson Jr., who completed a 17 month sentence in March for misuse of campaign funds, his Predecessor Mel Reynolds also left office in a ball of shame. In 1992, he was convicted of having sex with underage campaign volunteer. Roland Burris, who was Obama's replacement at the senate post was shrouded in ethics investigations during his brief stint in Congress which were tied to investigation and subsequent conviction of Governor Rod Blagojevich.  This weekend, another Chicago resident Minister Louis Farrakhan once again corralled hundreds of thousands of aggrieved blacks, Latino' and Native Americans to Washington DC for the 'Justice or Else' march.

Black elites have no shortage of confidence that their policies and principles of social justice are the best solution for black America's problems. It's ironic that the most celebrated of them (The Jacksons, Obama and Farrakhan) in spite of more than a combined one hundred years of residency in Chicago have been grossly ineffective in making a difference in the long beleaguered city. Chicago off and on has been the murder capital of America for the past decade. One would think that the star power of these men could have helped to stem some of the violence and economic despair in their city. President Obama, who spent years working in Chicago as a community organizer doesn't seem to care about those same communities now. Having only visited there for Democratic fundraising efforts. Jesse Jackson Sr.'s main accomplishments are earning millions through cronyism and helping his friends win elections. Jesse Jr. learned the art of political chicanery by sitting at the feet of the master. Soon his wife, herself a former elected official will be off to prison for her role in the campaign finance scheme. Farrakhan travels the world visiting his dictator buddies, then returns to his $5M suburban mansion. There he can receive his violin lesson from his Jewish instructor in safety. Why should anyone trust these self serving elites to help mainstream black America when they can't even help Chicago?

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which has painted a false sense of reality for millions of Ame

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a

Uncovering A Gigantic Royal Scam

Image
The old saying "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians" is by modern standards politically incorrect. However there is a new phenomena that is could take its place. There seems to be too many Kings and Queens and not enough subjects. Peruse Facebook and one will see untold references to "Black Kings" and "Black Queens" which is intended to foster self esteem in the black community. What is wrong with this one may ask? It is built on a ridiculous premise, historical ignorance and grotesque revisionism. For starters, every culture at one time or another has been ruled by monarchs. So by this logic every Anglo British citizen is a King or a Queen since they still have a symbolic monarchy today. Kings and Queens are mere titles-not character traits. Monarchs were selected by either bloodline or bloody conquest. Some of the most dastardly rulers in history were Kings. King John, Herod, Leopold, Caligula are just a few-African rulers were hardly an exception. I
