I beg to differ.  When low income housing for families was proposed in
her district, she opposed it because she feared that more hispanics
would come and dilute her precious black constituency.  Her opinion
was that the site should be used for an african theme village where
tourists to South Central (!) would buy native crafts was a shallow
veil for her true motivations.  

Remember, somebody was paid to write that speech, somebody paid to get
her there, and like most politicians, she needs money to keep her job
so she can make more money.  It doesn't work for me.
