From The Same Vein

Since where I live everything seems to be about race. I'm about to attempt to compare how people capitalize on the ignorance of others, regardless what color they are. I'm going to criticize both Blacks and Whites alike.

Carol Chumney and Steve Cohen, are just like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to a degree. They just have a different pigmentation. Carol Chumney is a trained lawyer and so is Steve Cohen. Unlike their counterparts, at least they are trained shysters. Just like former county commissioner Walter Bailey did concerning the Nathan Bedford Forrest statue. Who is a practicing attorney also. Had he done the research he would have known where the issue was going, before he got the people all stirred up. To try to give the public a lesson in Civics after the fact, is too little too late. Since the resolution to remove Joseph Lee had no power anyway. Why did Ms. Chumney even propose it to begin with? It was simply a divisive move that blew up in her face. It was supposed to show the public where everyone on the council stood. Making them show their hands on whether or not they support the Mayor. It ended up coming across as being racial. The vote split down racial lines, with only Myron Lowery breaking ranks. In light of the outcome of the Mickey Wright case. The timing was wrong.

Steve Cohen is busy giving out proclamations at every Black gathering where there will be a T.V. camera. I wasn't surprised to see him at Apostle Patterson's funeral. Every Democrat that considered themselves having any standing was there. Then he gave a proclamation to Odell Horton Sr., which I personally don't have a problem with. Knowing full well most of his voters don't even know what he was remembered for. Click on the link below and refresh your memory: http://indepcons.blogspot.com/2006/02/my-condolences-to-family-of-judge.html He has the one qualification some folks require. They just know he was Black. To show the voters he supports Black causes, and he gets along with his constituency. I don't see him taking pictures with people at the abortion clinics after having killed their unborn babies. Shaking hands and drinking beer with the gays at the Cooper-Young festival , or people spending their last dollar on lottery tickets. He represents them too. I want to know what legislation you're working on in Washington. What are you doing about immigration? Not your stance on local law enforcement, and how the courts are run.

I won't get into Mr. Jackson and Mr. Sharpton except to say that like the others. I have dedicated other articles to them already. http://indepcons.blogspot.com/2007/04/protest-did-most-damage.html They only champion causes that benefit them more than they do anyone else. Just like Ms. Chumney and Mr. Cohen they keep their followers preoccupied with trivial matters. Trivial in the fact that they aren't really doing anything to change them.
