Childhood Abuse, The Democratic Party and the Two Meeks by Geniusofdespair

I read part two of Poverty Peddler: Stalled Liberty City project got insiders’ help - This is a continuation of Sunday’s story of the Boston Developer, Kendrick and Carrie Meek – which I wrote about in my post yesterday. Of course, County Commissioner Dorrin Rolle is involved too, but we all have figured out that he is ethically challenged long ago.

Back to my title - There is a bigger picture to look at in this article. Many child abusers, etc. go on for years with their own children. The children of these repugnant people curiously cover for them, protect them and in most cases still love them. To do otherwise would hurt a child’s own self image: My father/mother is evil so I must be too. So the children must deceive themselves for their own good.

We have communities/groups here in Miami that do the EXACT same things as these children. Good leadership is so hard to come by in some areas, the people revere their leaders so much, they are unable to acknowledge the bad behavior of their leaders. They believe all the back-peddaling Kendrick and Carrie are doing in this Herald article. Why? Because were the community to acknowledge the bad behavior, they believe it would be a reflection on themselves, which, of course, is not true.

You would think when I mention "Group" I am talking ONLY about the the leaders in the community that help Carrie Meek and her son get elected. True enough. The African American community is proud of their elected officials and they take a shitload of crap from them. They even support that awful Rolle over and over – the man that has been throwing the community crumbs for years.

However, I am mostly talking about the Democratic Party.

The candidates for President are able to look the other way on so much just for an endorsement, a foot in the door – to get that black vote in Florida. Well, Democratic candidates who are pandering, let me tell you something: You suck.

Democrats: you should instead stand up for ethical government and ethical leaders and maybe, just maybe these self-serving charismatic leaders would fall down to their level of incompetence and get the boot. Without the Party pumping them up on the national stage, maybe the electorate would have the courage to vote them out. As long as the party is propping up the stature, the community will too. The Democratic Party Presidential Candidates are acting like the mother of abused children (who is the codependent propping up the father, not acknowledging the heinous behavior).

The Community is suffering and no one in politics really cares. Not one elected official that I see in Miami-Dade. This Herald series reaches my ICK level. Barfable to be sure.

Candidate Barack Obama finally got my attention this week talking about ethics reform in government...an oxymoron? I'm finally listening to a candidate.

P.S. Why didn't County Manager Burgess or his staff do a little research on Boston developer Dennis Stackhouse? Not even a google search, or public records? Come on!
