Raleigh NC – Former Congressman Frank Ballance claims he was unfairly targeted to interview today at 6:00 PM

Posted by Curmilus Dancy II (Butch) on July 7, 2009

Maybe, maybe not. However I do know that we (black folks) can’t do certain things and think we can get away with it. I say don’t do the damn thing and then you will not have to defend yourself. Now obviously something went wrong with Ballance because he pleaded guilty and has served his time.

I do know that when I got into politics in the early 90’s, I stated then that we must challenge the good ole boys systematically and by the book. We can not do ignant stuff thinking that we can get away with it just because the good ole boys used to do it.

Well the good ole boys used to do criminal mess and it took them a long time to get caught but now everybody is going down. I be damn if I want to take that route. But I am not an elected official.

So elected officials do you want to take that route? Do you want to go to jail? Is it worth it? C. Dancy II – DCN Publisher
