Because Maxine Waters and I are very good friends, I have gotten many calls regarding the story in the press about a possible ethics violation. The press is doing the work of its right wing owners. There was no ethics violation.
This story when run opposite the Charlie Rangel story makes good theater. It makes the Democrats look corrupt. There are more than eight ethics investigations being pushed against members of the Congressional Black Caucus. This is 20 percent of the Black Caucus. If there were justice in the application of the Office of Congressional Ethics, the number of white members being investigated would be 80. There is in fact only one such investigation.
Such investigations erode confidence and make our Black politicians even more reluctant to help Black people.
The case that is being made against Congresswoman Maxine Waters should have been dismissed long ago. It has nothing to do with conflict of interest. It is a case about race.
The Black point of view can seldom find public expression except in the Black press. White people own and dominate both the print and electronic media. The talk shows seldom allow honest expressions of the Black point of view. Editors who fear for their jobs control Blacks who work for the white print media.

Waters has a criminal violation. There’s a difference.
Whitey’s fault. Maxine didn’t give no money to her husband’s bank, that be a lie.
Bush's Fault!
Da Man puttin’ da heel of his expensive Italian boots on da neck of a good woman who ain’t done no hurt to nobody. I got a pain from dis, brothas!
/sarcasm
Of course it is, it's always about race with these people.
racist
If ‘da ethics do’n fit,
Din ya must aquit.
The Conservative Black point of view can seldom find public expression except in their own personal blogs.
If yu iz black, yu gits da sack...if yu iz white, everything b allright. /s
Strike the work “violations” from the title.
Just like Daniel Simpson Day had no GPA. She has no ethics violations because she has no ethics.
Hahahahahahahahahahahah(gasp)hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah(gasp)hahahahahahahahahahahah!
How nutty.
I have no idea if Waters is quilty or not ... she’s presumed innocent until found guilty IMO
But the idea that people will commit crimes or ethics violations in exact proportion to their numbers of a particular group in a larger body of persons is preposterous!
Debro is an idiot ... and there is no presumption of innocence there.
“The press is doing the work of its right wing owners.” ...Please! You kick over a media rock, and nothing but leftest maggots and commie cockroaches scatter. Maxine Waters is as corrupt as they come. Joseph sounds like the sort of guy who would know first hand about favors and corrupt money from backroom deals. He is fighting for his sleazy partner.
In San Francisco the press is right of them.
I can’t really tell if he is serious or not.
He seems to defend ol’ Maxine but his logic and facts are so 180 degrees out of phase that he sounds like he must be talking “tongue in cheek”.
How could he say that the Ethics Committee is 50/50 Republican/Democrat but that the Democrats are less active and effective than the Republicans. My experience is that Democrats jump and shout to cover up any (ANY) wrong doing one of their members has supposedly committed.
When it comes to ethics I would imagine that they would be yelling race race race at the top of their lungs and not quietly sitting by letting the evil white Republicans rule that committee.
Is this Joe Debro actually serious, is he totally out of phase with reality (seeing opposite reflections of reality) in “His” party of choice, or is he just having a good laugh at Maxine’s expense?
Hmmm? Do these blacks feel entitled?
