BROTHERS, WHERE ART THOU?

I’m still waiting for the first black leader to say what should be said about the Carlos Vignali pardon. Why is Vignali free while dozens of mainly black, poor underlings in his crack-selling operation are not? Remember the canard that the FBI was secretly selling crack to inner-city black youngsters – and the African-American outrage this prompted? (The outrage was justified if the story had been true. Pity it wasn’t.) Well, now we have a pardon for someone convicted of peddling millions of dollars worth of crack into such ghettoes – thanks, in part, to the influence of Bill Clinton’s brother-in-law. Put it another way: the “first black president” singled out a non-black for a pardon, leaving dozens of black convicts in jail, and all for peddling crack to mainly black inner-city youngsters. Take it away, Jesse! Oh never mind.
