After Reconstruction, Dems forced all elected Black Americans out of Congress.
I agree with that.
I come from the old school. Show me the context and I may buy into the bad interpretation, if the person deserves it.
When Al Campanas stated that Blacks were more physical because they had been bred for strength, it was a reasoned and truthful comment.
Black slave owners treated them like cattle. They did breed them to get a stronger slave.
So Campanas addressed truth, and got fired. That’s dumb.
It’s not an insult to Blacks to mention this. It’s actually a slam on slave owners who treated Blacks that way. And it should be something that is talked about, because it was wrong.
Campanas didn’t deserve any disciplinary action.
Charles was found guilty of 11 ethics violations, including neglecting to pay taxes on his Dominican Republic vacation villa in 2010. That man shouldn’t be in congress. He should be locked in a cage.
It won’t break my heart when POS like him fade away.
The Rump Rangler and Miss Piggy apparently on the same page.
Rangel, the epitome of the corrupt democratic politicians, a leader of the party of slavery, the KKK, the segregation; a dishonor for Blacks and Hispanics, have the gall to call racists to Republicans who shed their blood to give freedom to the Blacks slaves, who forced the desegregation of school and who make possible that Blacks could enjoy the full protection of their civil, political and human rights guarantee by the U.S. Constitution.
Hell does the baiter know that the KKK were friggin democrats, does he care? If you took everything that Rangel knew and packed it with with care, it might, just might, fit in a thimble.
“Rangel is both a crook and race baiter.”
Charley Rangel is simply following an old tradition in that seat. Even though redistricting has changed the number several times, I am pretty sure he still occupies the same seat that Adam Clayton Powell did and Powell was so crooked, they had to bury him with a large corkscrew.

He’s a bit overdue to spiral into punishment; I suppose he’s been given the opportunity to heap more coals of fire on his own head?
Sorry Charlie, wrong again!
