No Count Corruption

So the Mayor of Baltimore is indicted with 12 charges and it is reported as underwhelming. It is also reported that the majority population of Baltimore City, that being black females, will support the mayor no matter what AND the mayor need only be concerned about the perception of the white population. Excuse me, but when did corruption become acceptable among any population? I thought we were supposed to have entered the era of post-racial America with the election of a president who happens to be black. I suppose using gift cards intended for other purposes and having employees use their personal bank accounts to cover up malfeasance does not rise to the level of trying to sell a Senate seat. But isn't it interesting that at least some the unauthorized use of the gift cards and the spending sprees took place in Chicago? Perhaps Madame Mayor was studying corruption since there is less urgency for her to study war, as the old gospel song might indicate. Wouldn't I love to sit on the jury for Madame Mayor? But her trial will seat a jury of her majority peers, and it will all go away. After all, the charges are underwhelming, if one is to believe the local reporting. No wonder I go into fits every time I get a new jury summons! No defense attorney in his or her right mind would seat me on a jury in Baltimore City! It can't be possible that Madame Mayor is corrupt! Gosh, the prosecutor's office has only been investigating her for 10 years or so!!
