Poverty pimp posters put Maxine waters in the crosshairs

[ⒶⓁⒾⒶⓈ]

Doesn't matter if Johnson was involved in creating, producing, or distributing the posters.

It matters that in his reporting, he felt that there was something of merit to derive about Rep. Waters from those posters. There isn't. :cambybp:

IMO it doesnt matter who is reporting as long as its factual...in fact blindly trusting reports from sources you happen to like is how people become propagandized idiots

It matters also that you think that a defamatory poster about a politician you don't like with a racist, pejorative term is threadworthy.

Since when has political art not been threadworthy...and as far as "racist" "pejorative terms" thats all YOU who is projecting that onto this work...

you have no idea who they are and artists who make these social critiques have always been given a little extra artistic licence just like your favorite rapper or comedian can freely use certain words or phrases in their work that would be considered derogatory....im certain you dont run around calling them out on it..do you??

Except...no, because news sources that have been consistently proven as unreliable should be treated with contempt. Your comment would be accurate if he strictly reported the facts, but since he posted his commentary on waters and has been SUPER for years now, there's no reason why I should take him seriously.

California Rep. Waters Cleared of Ethics Charges

A House ethics panel has determined there is no evidence that Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) violated congressional rules when she called Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson in 2008 on behalf of minority-owned banks, despite her husband’s financial stake in one troubled institution.

The finding concludes an investigation into Waters’s actions that was disrupted by allegations of misconduct within a previous committee probing her conduct. A new panel created to review Waters’s actions ultimately took the highly unusual step of hiring an outside lawyer to conduct the inquiry.

At a rare public hearing Friday, members of the committee indicated they were prepared to accept the findings of the outside lawyer. The attorney, Billy Martin, found that Waters believed she was intervening on behalf of all minority-owned banks—and not directly on behalf of OneUnited Bank of Boston, in which her husband held stock.

Good. Hopefully more posters go up on members of Congress

Agreed!

She needs to be called out....all of them do regardless to race.

this has been a criticism against her for decades now

one of the least talked about aspects of Obama's presidency were his views on the CBC

he shouted them down that one time which i found to be over the top...

but he has legit concerns about them and clearly doesn't like them...they're all about that $$$

sure they give good soundbites, but when it comes to helping people out - nah.

that's why I'm eager as to what Obama will do for us as a community now that he's out of office.

Can we be honest for a moment? Most of these CBC members are poverty pimping.

But if a right-wing cac made these posters, fukk him, the answer is not for Afrikans to run to the Republican Party or become right-wingers
