What the author is writing about John Lewis is not so much a condemnation as it is a reflection of the very meaning of justice and how we can fight for it.

Excerpt:

While I am not about to paint John Lewis in the same light as the charlatan Al Sharpton, I have nonetheless reassessed the way I view John Lewis for one simple reason. I do not make this judgement without a clear-eyed analysis, John Lewis -- who once fought at the forefront for Civil Rights -- has now become a stage prop for the Democratic Party as he carries water for the duplicity of the DNC. Anytime the Democrats in DC want to use "black folk" as political pawns, they trot out Lewis to present the Republicans as an abhorrent and malevolent lot as they cast themselves in the most altruistic light. This is what the Democrats do, every four years they tread on the pains of their most loyal base only to ignore them the very second the last ballot is cast. We become nothing more than stepping stones for shysters feigning outrage; frothing at the mouth ranting against racism only to go to DC and drop their buckets into the very ocean of injustice they preach against on TV.
