Black politicians are held to a different, much lower standard.

Particularly by their own black voters. Rangel will be reelected by his constituents in 2012 by a larger margin than in 2010.

Isn’t that the ‘in your face’ syndrome?
Marion Barry in DC a fine example of such, as A C Powell, Maxine etc etc etc

Goes way back to when the Irish kept electing Irish etc even when in jail as a ‘symbol’ of “You can’t tell us who to vote for”.

NO, I am NOT Irish bashing, I am of Irish (Catholic) descent myself and while on the subject how many people just went and voted for JFK because he was Irish and Catholic AND admitted to doing so?
I didn’t vote that year as I was in the Navy and figured that it didn’t matter who won, would be ‘serving’ under him anyway.
