Just Us/New Black Panther Sideshow Continues

Prior to the election of the first black president, actions of our present Just Us Department would only be considered the most cynical of parody.

They say good satire has an element of truth, and this black-led Just Us Department appears to be giving certain people a pass….

Veteran Civil Rights Division attorney Christopher Coates is no longer chief of the Voting Section, according to the division’s Web site. It could not be learned whether Coates left the department entirely or transferred to another post.

Coates signed off on the controversial voter intimidation complaint against the New Black Panther Party and three of its members, filed in the waning days of the George W. Bush administration. The Obama DOJ’s decision to dismiss most of the charges in May has become a political controversy for the administration.

Let’s sum up how this looks.

A black president, a black attorney general, New Black Panthers who clearly committed voter intimidation during the election of the first black president, and the dropping of all charges against those Black Panthers.

It didn’t look good then and it looks worse today.

    love the tweaked graphic. Also, was it ever this bad under Clinton? my memory is fuzzy of those those years. This self serving seems to be a recurring theme, and it only got worse especially after your radio spot

    Looks like a duck, walks like a duck, most certainly is quacking like a duck…

    Cover-up, pure and simple. Impeach NOW, please.

    (Like that’s ever going to happen…)

    I think this is a time to practice civility, and submit to the special interests that ensure “separate and unequal” and inequality before the law, notwithstanding the same tactics employed by regressive regimes throughout history and the present.

    Yup. Hear no evil. See no evil. Speak no evil.

    It’s all good, and transparent, in a selective state of being.

    It is also all WRONG as can be…
