Here we go again.

This is the next episode in the 401-year-long sad, sad saga of :

The betrayal of black people.

The ignoring of black people.

The disregard for black people.

The disrespect of black people.

“Reports” and “rumors” are swirling throughout Democratic Party circles that former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is being seriously considered as transportation secretary in Joe Biden’s upcoming administration.

Emanuel, 61, abruptly dropped out of the running for a third Chicago mayoral term 26 months ago. He has since joined major broadcast media circles as a Democratic Party eminence grise, an elder statesman, a “respected” TV talking head, pundit, and prognosticator. It’s worth noting, however, that at no time during his eight years as mayor of this nation-state’s third-largest city did he completely relinquish his day job as a Wall Street hedge fund manager and investment banker.

And, since being driven out of the prospect for a third term in Chicago, this failed mayor has also been an early, unofficial, low key Biden adviser.
