I have been distracted from the real issues again by stupidity. Madison J. Gray has called the recent ethics probe into the activities of black politicians “racist.” What an ignorant comment. Racism in government is dead and has been for quite some time. Affirmative Action, Hate Crimes legislation, the outlawing of the “N” word and everything else the government has done has seen to racism’s demise. Are there still racist thoughts in the hearts of people? Of course there are. I am not here to tell you racism is dead with individuals of all races, but government is so politically correct they can hardly function.

People such as Madison J. Gray try and make investigating blacks difficult by crying racism at every turn. If there was no reason to investigate them then they would not be investigated. Obviously there is a reason to look into the activities of these elected officials and I am sure that reason is not because they are black. I am damn tired of minorities playing the race card. Instead of hollering racism this author should be calling for more investigations. ALL of our tax dollars at stake and NO ONE should be allowed to abuse their office. I am all for all of them going to jail if they do wrong, but can Madison J. Gray say the same? Also you may want to speak to the congressmen involved in the Congressional Black Caucus. This is a racially exclusive organization by definition.
