I read this from Eugene Kane and laughed out loud:

Whether it's Mike McGee or Lee Holloway or Marvin Pratt or any African-American public official caught up in a controversy or scandal, my natural inclination is to give them the benefit of the doubt. That could easily get me in trouble someday; it's inevitable that some black politician will end up on the wrong side of things and my support for him or her could end up blowing up in my face.

Someday huh?  So that hasn't happened yet?  I wonder what it would take for Mr. Kane to actually think that Michael McGee was on the wrong side of things.
