Artur Davis unfiltered on Daily Call. A must see video.
The former Congressman is not happy at the way his fellow Black Americans are taken advantage of by the fraudulent means of a corrupt few. Davis essentially argues that the progressives, comfortable in their D.C. offices, look the other way in the name of racial politics and the illusion of racial progress.
This similar point was directly at issue in the Bush voter protection case in Noxubee County, Mississippi. The point of the litigation was not to disrupt the electoral majority of Blacks; instead, it was to protect individual citizens and voters – Black and white – from the illegal exercise of power of those corrupted and willing to engage in intimidation and fraud to retain that power.
Courageous.
…former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis told The Daily Caller that anti-fraud measures are needed to protect African-Americans from corrupt political bosses — many of them African-Americans themselves — who run Democratic Party machines in the South.
On Nov. 14, progressive Democratic Reps. John Conyers, Steny Hoyer, Jerrold Nadler, Keith Ellison, Steve Cohen, Marcia Fudge and Emanuel Clearer, the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus — along with representatives from several advocacy groups — held a meeting to complain about what they say is the danger posed by laws that require voters to identify themselves.
Artur Davis is unimpressed.
“What I have seen in my state, in my region, is the the most aggressive practitioners of voter-fraud are local machines who are tied lock, stock and barrel to the special interests in their communities — the landfills, the casino operators — and they’re cooking the [ballot] boxes on election day, they’re manufacturing absentee ballots, they’re voting [in the names of] people named Donald Duck, because they want to control politics and thwart progress,” he told TheDC.
“People who are progressives have no business defending those individuals.”
