SPECIAL POST
Milwaukee County Sheriff made the news the other day when he
defeated an anti-gun primary opponent who was backed by Michael Bloomberg to the
tune of $150,000. Yesterday, Clarke was
on FOX NEWS talking about the violence in Ferguson, Missouri after a black
youth was killed by a police officer.
Clarke told the story eloquently and hit a lot of nails on the head. Ferguson has had a rapid growth in its Black community and the town has not responded by appointing more blacks to town boards and other entities. The police department there has not significantly increased its representation of blacks on its force. Clarke feels this fuels suspicion of racism that should have been addressed long ago. That in turn manifested itself with the recent post-shooting violence and looting, regardless of who eventually turns out to be at fault.
I was impressed with Clarke. In making his case, he presented valid arguments and was well-spoken. He displayed to me that he has an educated head on his shoulders and that he thinks things through to a logical conclusion.
In short, the nation's Blacks should have put someone like Clarke up to be their first President instead of the "cool jewel" we have in the Oval Office today.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
