My impression that the sleaze around Obama should be enough to stop him dead in his tracks. Oh, I forgot, he's an African American Dem.

This is fascinating stuff, Steve. Maybe only fiction could do it full justice. Can you recommend a Chicago equivalent of the late much-lamented George V. Higgins? Sarah Paretsky sometimes involves corruption but doesn't bring out the full richness.
Interesting that the White establishment prefers Arab immigrant middlemen to deal with indigenous Black Americans. Reminds me of some other operation but I can't quite think what.
One point that puzzles me: you repeatly mention when Chicago pols are Black or Arab, but you never refer explicitly to Irish-Americans. I've never been to Chicago, but from what I've read I gather Irish immigrants and their descendents have played a not-insignificant part in corrupt Chicago politics for most of the city's history.

You left your best paragraph out of the post, Steve:

"Why don't the voters turn the rascals out? Because no one ethnic group can afford to unilaterally disarm in the struggle for government boodle. Your racial leaders may be pocketing much of what they get in your name, but without their connections and time-tested stratagems, your group would be completely despoiled by the other groups' veteran politicians."

Right, Irish is the default assumption for the ethnicity of a classic Chicago pol (e.g., the Daleys). The Democratic machine in Chicago was pretty much all Irish up until Mayor Cermak (a Bohemian?) brought in other ethnicities during the Depression. Since then, it's been a one-party Democratic town. The Irish remain something of the natural leaders of Chicago as long as they don't get too greedy.

I'd personally rather see the taxpayer scammed by losing money to people smart enough to work the system rather than incompetent minorities.

Of course, a society based on competence and merit would be great but that was before the diversity era.

I know that one of Daley's sons died as a toddler. His other son, Patrick, enlisted in the army. He apparently has a conscience and has no desire to become the kind of man it takes to continue the Daley dynasty. Of course, if I'm not mistaken, Mayor Daley has six siblings with offsprng who could help perpuate the dynasty.

That's the impression your supposed to have when your only source of information is right-wing hit pieces. That's why the right-wing is conmstantly harping on all of this Chicago corruption. They want Obama to be found guilty by association. Do you ever wonder why all of these moralists never wrote about the Bush corruption in Texas? For example, how much do you know about the land deal for Bush's baseball stadium?

In fact, Obama does not have much sleaze around him at all. Remember that.

You have a point; however we also have blinkers on. Before the minority era there was the Al Capone era, and from what little I know of US history, it's an old thing that certain ethnics (Irish, Italians, Jews) control particular industries or sectors of large cities. This is just more hidden in previously mono-cultural European countries. There it’s a family or clan thing.

Basically we've moved from “competent and corrupt” to “incompetent and corrupt”. Put another way, diversity has hit the underground.

SHM
I am speechless!
And we wonder why Europeans think Americans are idiots.
How about not wanting any group to rob taxpayers.

What a lot of people still don't know about is that Rezko, who is a white Christian immigrant from Aleppo, Syria

The last name is a dead give away that Rezko is not an Anglo Saxon, the white part we can see. America's kiss method when it comes to race makes it so easy.

Steve, Middle Easterners by definition are Caucasian. I don't think Middle Easterners, at least those from Syria, are included in the list of minorities who qualify for affirmative action.

"One of Obama’s donors is the former Iraqi Electricity Minister Aiham Alsammarae, who broke out of prison in the Baghdad Green Zone where he was locked up for stealing hundreds of millions. Alsammarae now lives in the Chicago area, where he put up $2.8 million to help bail Rezko out of jail."

Wow. Just wow.

John, I think that due to your political correctness, you misunderstood this a bit. A certain portion of the White establishment created the affirmative action system in order to screw up rival White groups, including rival White establishments. Think of this as intra-White competition. The system thus created is inherently corrupt. It provides opportunities for hustlers of all sorts. Some of the people who took those opportunities in Chicago happened to be Arabs. In other places other groups are more prominent.

In your comment you implied that there is a unified White establishment and that it made a conscious decision to employ Arabs in this way. I think that's very different from what actually occurred.

That whole minority set-aside thing, for example, is a glaring opportunity to be corrupt. It cries out for someone to set up phony fronts. By the way, the dead twofer story is pure gold. If Rezko didn't use that opportunity, there was a 100% chance that someone else would have used it. While Rezko IS a crook and deserves to be in jail, the real crime was the creation of that opportunity to be corrupt. And that was done for reasons that had nothing to do with Rezko in particular or with Arabs in general.

This sort of thing is absolutely the international standard for affirmative action programs. The only difference is the names the programs go by. Read Thomas Sowell on the subject if you don't believe Steve Sailer. You can bring up Sowell's writing in idle conversation with leftists if you want - since they haven't heard of him (or probably anything with "An Empirical Study" in the title, most likely), they'll assume he's whitey = bad. After they've committed themselves to dismissing him on that basis, show them his picture. And hand them a hanky.

Holding the president blameless for crimes he didn't actually commit, only connived in, seems to be what led us into the spiral of amorality that happened during Watergate. Once Obama becomes President, then what? It won't just be his "friends" any more, it will be people who serve at his pleasure doing this stuff. I hope he changes his moral standards radically, and soon.

The situation in 1970's SF was even more interesting with the NOI first opposing then supporting Jim Jones who was also supported by Harvey Milk (haven't seen the movie but I doubt this aspect was dealt with much), who spoke in favor of Jones even after the Jonestown massacre.

Strange, er, bedfellows all around.

Apparently, so is G.W Bush.

Well, you got your wish last month to the tune of 700 billion (now 3 trillion) dollars. You should be turning cartwheels with joy!

To be fair, incompetent NAMs had a part.

Richard H,
I'm a white from Africa. Truth's comments would be a little more believable if it were not for the catastrophic track records of ALL African governments. And I mean catastrophic in the real sense.

headache,

Where did you get the impression that I would disagree with that?
