Thoughts of Politics , Prada, and Chanel

By Yvonne R. Edwards

Politics and Ism’s: Same song- different dancers

July 14, 2012

From Former Birmingham mayor Larry Langford to convicted former United States Representative Jesse Jackson , the list of “isms ” perpetrated by minorities in power against their own constituents of color are innumerable. Politicians have been accused of using funds to buy luxuries. The term “ethics” has been replaced by the terms “greed and entitlement”. This occurs at the expense of others. People who feel entitled have victimized the poor and uneducated, so they can maintain their positions of power.

The sad part of this discussion is that rather than help those who are old, poor, or uneducated – those who instilled their faith in them when they elected the politician to office- the politician opts to treat them worse than the white people who were reigning politicians during the heyday of racism.

This variable makes the situation worse. Politicians are elected to serve ergo they help others. If a politician uses her or his office of power to bribe, victimize, or exploit constituents in any manner, no service is occurring.

Feeling entitled to not help make the lives of voters better is an ism. It is classism. One’s higher elevated social status does not entitle him to mistreat the people who helped him or her obtain public office. The politician’s promise or election platform was to address the constituents’ concerns; so do it.

It is racism. Being mistreated by someone of your own race is even worse. People suffered all forms of atrocities, so the person could be able to obtain the seat in public office. Yes, even the poor and the old- they worked the hardest. It is the highest form of victimization. Corrupt politicians intimidate these same people as a means to an end to accomplish their unscrupulous goals.

Politics is and should be about ethics. It is about giving the best of you to create the best for people. A politician is as good as the service that he or she does for the community, city, state, or nation. There is absolutely nothing wrong about elevating yourself through public office, if you also elevate your constituents.
