David Clarke, the African-American sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, says it is time to forgive white society for the sins of slavery. Clarke, a frequent critic of President Barack Obama, said Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “The Kelly File” that Obama has done nothing to heal race relations after his election as the first black president in 2008.
“Who would have thought that after the election of the first black president in the history of the United States that we would need a period of Reconstruction to try to put this country back together?” Clarke said.
Rather than try to heal racial rifts, Obama has taken sides, the sheriff said.
He noted that Attorney Gen. Eric Holder has said the country is too cowardly to talk about race.
“Well, I’m not, and I’m ready to engage him in that conversation,” Clarke said. “We have to begin to ask when white society is going to be through paying for the sins of slavery. We’re now punishing people for sins they didn’t commit.”[newsmax.com]
Clarke who is of course a regular on FOX is married to a white woman. He has wide and disparaging views on President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, The Reverend Al. Sharpton, and now New York City Mayor Bill deBlasio.
Despite the Tea-Party type invective being hurled by this new Benedict Arnold David Clarke, both he and the men he has a problem with are all registered Democrats.
The truth is that Clarke is a wolf in sheep clothing, he runs as a Democrat but is fact a water-boy for the right against President Obama. David Clarke has taken on the role once held by vanquished Florida’s Tea-Party operative Allan West . Look for a lot more from this black Uncle Tom to continue making outrageous statements as the Right-wing establishment elevates him as their new monkey and feed him scraps from their table.
