I don't care who else is corrupt because number one, rarely has anyone seen the likes of Kwame and his gang and number two, he did exactly what the feds say he did! Perhaps the Feds are going after Kwame because they are racist. However, there have been well documented racial inequities in the application of the criminal code since there was a criminal code. When I was little and decided to misbehave with other children my mother would tell me 'those other kids will go home and they wont get in trouble, you will." Same thing with Black people and crime, you ought to know that no matter who gets away with what, you probably wont so don't even try it. And if you decide to engage in open corruption for 5 years don't embarrass the rest of us by crying race foul when you get caught (officially) and punished for the stuff you ACTUALLY did. And Black people, please please please stop saying they are being hard on Kwame because he is Black. I AM being hard on him because he is Black and because his actions had the most harmful impact on other Black people living in Detroit. "They" are being hard on Kwame because he is a criminal. I'm disgusted, can you tell?

It's not because he's Black, it's because he's a criminal!
A few Black (or African American if that makes you feel more comfortable) people honestly believe and are saying that the only politician getting in trouble for being corrupt is the former Mayor of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick. I have heard comments such as "I don't see them going after anyone else as hard as Kwame Kilpatrick." *BLANK STARE* Are yall effing serious? I am Black (or whatever) and lived in Detroit when Kwame was the mayor and what he did to the city and the people that live and do business in it is a sin and a shame. He literally ran the city like he was a mob boss. He is well known to have committed every crime from jay walking to extortion and maybe even murder (*cough* Tamara Green *cough*). He didn't just make a mistake, from the day he took office he was like a pimp turning a hoe out. And while people like me did not want to be forced into prostitution, the other citizens of Detroit felt like he was young and "anybody can make a mistake, we should give him a chance another chance." He had the greatest opportunity to help the people here, many of whom were (and still are) facing dire circumstances but instead he stole from us. In fact he took money that was actually given to him for community building projects and spent it on those suits and diamond earrings that inspired me to embarrassment every time he appeared on TV.
