The House ethics committee is currently investigating seven African-American lawmakers. Not a single white lawmaker is currently the subject of a full-scale ethics committee probe.
Is this a result of racial profiling and/or discrimination in the Democrat controlled Congress?
or
Is this a result of a widespread sense of entitlement and/or reparations on the part of many of today's Blacks?
or
Am I a racist for writing about this topic?

November 3, 2009 - 17:26 ET by matthewdeanBased on what I have seen, noted, watched, observed, and listened to---
There are those, some of whom should know better, who will see racism because this particular topic is even being brought up.
Number of Black males incarcerated vs. number of Black males in the population---
Number of Black Congressional members being investigated vs. total number of Black Congressional members---
If this type of problem, actually any perceived problem wherein race is involved, is not discussed, it won't be solved.
Just be wary of who is allowed to set the discussion parameters, and whether those parameters are agreed upon by all parties engaged; otherwise, you will find yourself in the middle of a diatribe slinging contest.

Heard on Fox News---
Congressional Black Caucus asking why only Blacks in Congress are being investigated.
"Outraged."
"This is crazy."
"Makes no sense."
This will either become very interesting, or it will die the normal death of any race-based issue, i.e., only White Americans can be racist, therefore this whole question is a non-issue.
