“Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis claimed on Sunday that the allegations of a corrupt relationship with her top prosecutor investigating former President Donald Trump are based on racism.”

Does this mean that only blacks have sex? Or that noting that blacks have sex is racist?

But what about Lisa Page and Peter Strozck? They were whitebread as it comes. And they were, like Fani, conspiring with another member of their race to get Trump. (That’s conspiring with benefits). Was it OK to point out their affair or was that racist too?

And what if Fani schtupped a white guy who wanted to get Trump. Is it racist to accuse him but not her?

I’m so confused.

nypost.com-——The father of the Georgia district attorney prosecuting Donald Trump was a prominent Black Panther who called police the “enemy,” new recordings have revealed.

John C. Floyd III, whose daughter Fani Willis is the Fulton County, Ga., district attorney, told academic researchers that he considered police in his native Los Angeles in the 1960s to be an “occupying army” that was “nothing but trouble.”

Floyd, now 80, also called a prominent white politician of the era a “Texas cracker.” And he suggested that he believed conspiracy theories that Malcolm X was assassinated by the CIA.

Floyd is extremely close to his daughter Willis, who has brought a sprawling anti-racketeering case against the former president and 18 others — including his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and his White House chief of staff Mark Meadows — alleging that they plotted to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.

Trump on Thursday formally entered a not guilty plea a week after he was booked and mugshotted at the county jail

John C. Floyd III, the father of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, has told how he was a leading member of the Black Panther movement in Los Angeles in the late 1960s.

Willis’ father, John C. Floyd III, spoke to a Black Power Archives history project about his involvement in the Black Panthers and the civil rights movement. He was born and brought up in Inglewood, Los Angeles.

Willis credits her father for her values and career as an attorney and told The Post he is “a great man,” to whom she speaks as often as 10 times a day. Floyd has said he brought up Willis as a single father, moving from Los Angeles to Washington, DC, when she was in the first grade.
Willis told The Post she speaks to her father as much as 10 times a day, and that his values continued to guide her. She did not directly address his past as a Black Panther.

“I have an absolutely amazing father and I’m very privileged to have been raised by such a great man,” Willis told The Post. “My father taught me that every single person is entitled to dignity and respect no matter who they are — no matter their race, religion or socio-economic status.

“And those things run through my veins,” she said. “It’s the way I try to treat people every single day: They’re entitled to dignity and respect no matter who they are.”

Until now, little has been known about Floyd beyond brief details, but it can now be revealed that he was a high-ranking member of the Black Panthers in Los Angeles.

Floyd was a founding member in 1967, and at one point chairman, of the Black Panther Political Party, a faction of the Black Panthers that was more moderate than the others. Floyd became a defense attorney after splitting from the Panthers in the early 1970s.

But before then, he told an interview for California State University’s Tom & Ethel Bradley Center, he was so high up in the Black Panthers that he became friends with Martin Luther King.

Speaking to the Bradley Center for its “Black Panther Archives” series, Floyd said that growing up in Inglewood, Los Angeles, he and other African Americans never went to the police despite the area being riddled with crime.

He said: “I grew up here and I have remarked to myself: As many car break-ins, house break-ins, assaults, I never the whole time I grew up in Los Angeles ever remember anyone calling the police department, because we considered LAPD to be the enemy.
