William Jefferson, What's Up With His Voters

Why in the world did the voters in Louisiana reelect Congressman William Jefferson to represent them in Washington. The man is a crook. He makes his supporters look like idiots. They seem to conclude that as long as Jefferson brings home the bacon for them, he deserves his office. That's dumb thinking. Jefferson had a primary challenger, who would have done almost the same as Jefferson did for the home district.

I know most of his supporters are blacks. I also understand that blacks in general don't trust law enforcement. And it's a well deserved distrust of the legal system. But please, Jefferson is guilty. He's not some under privileged black picked up by the cops, prosecuted because he's black, and any black will do guilty or not. Jefferson is a very privileged Congressman. He's a high ranking member of our government. He's not being railroaded, he had not one reason to take a bribe. He did it because he's greedy.

Black people had better wise up, and see these so-called victims for what they are: Self absorbed crooks, who think they deserve to get away with breaking the law. They view themselves above the law. They live by their own rules, therefore they don't need to respect society rules. They use the fact that black people have historically been victims of the law enforcement using the system to keep blacks in their place. William Jefferson does not fit in that category.

William Jefferson used his office to line his pockets. He was caught with $90,000 in his freezer. Why if he had the money legit would he freeze it? Why not bank it? He was hiding the money. Hoping his freezer would not be searched. He underestimated the FBI's tunnel vision. The FBI wanted to catch a big fish, Jefferson was the catch of day rightly so. I hope that black peopole will come to their senses, and see that he is out for himself. He didn't take the money to help out his poor constituency. He is not worthy of their support. He is just a plain old greedy crook.
