Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson violated rules, steered scholarships to relatives

"Longtime Dallas congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson has awarded thousands of dollars in college scholarships to four relatives and a top aide's two children since 2005, using foundation funds set aside for black lawmakers' causes.

The recipients were ineligible under anti-nepotism rules of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, which provided the money. And all of the awards violated a foundation requirement that scholarship winners live or study in a caucus member's district. " [Dallas Morning News]

A prime example of the problems of racially motivated politicians, e.g. Congressional Black Caucus!

Remember ... "...... they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. ....."

I hope judgment of Ms. Johnson is swift and sure.
