   Has Ed Buck paid for the silence of Democrats on his alleged   
   Tuskegee Experiment like fetish which includes shooting drugs   
   into young Black men that he picks up off the street or via   
   dating hookup websites?   
      
   The silence from L.A.’s Democratic community on the recent death   
   of a 26-year-old Black gay male escort in the West Hollywood   
   apartment of 63-year-old prominent Democratic political donor Ed   
   Buck has been astounding.   
      
   Gemmel Moore’s July 27 death, was immediately classified as an   
   accidental methamphetamine overdose by the coroner, but now the   
   Sheriff’s Department is taking a closer look after his personal   
   journal was published.  Numerous young Black gay men have   
   stepped forward making allegations against Buck recounting   
   similar stories about a man who they say has a Tuskegee   
   Experiment like fetish which includes shooting drugs into young   
   Black men that he picks up off the street or via dating hookup   
   websites.   
      
   In his journal, Gemmel Moore wrote, “I honestly don’t know what   
   to do. I’ve become addicted to drugs and the worst one at that,”   
   a December entry reads. “Ed Buck is the one to thank. He gave me   
   my first injection of crystal meth it was very painful, but   
   after all the troubles, I became addicted to the pain and   
   fetish/fantasy.”   
      
   “My life is at an alltime [sic] high right now & I mean that   
   from all ways.  I ended up back at Buck [sic] house again and   
   got munipulated [sic] into slamming again.  I even went to the   
   point where I was forced to doing 4 within a 2day [sic] period.   
   This man is crazy and its [sic] sad.  Will I ever get help?”   
      
   His last entry, dated Dec. 3, 2016, reads: “If it didn’t hurt so   
   bad, I’d kill myself, but I’ll let Ed Buck do it for now.   
      
   Buck has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democratic   
   causes and candidates over the years. His Facebook page boasted   
   dozens of photos of him with everyone from presidential   
   candidate Hillary Clinton to Governor Jerry Brown, Los Angeles   
   County Democratic Party and California Democratic Party chairman   
   Eric Bauman and even Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.   
      
      
      
   In online ads soliciting young Black gay men, Buck has referred   
   to them as being a “6-foot” n-word. On his Facebook page, he   
   joked with friends using the n-word.   
      
      
      
   Typically in politics, we try to distance ourselves from white   
   people who call Black people the n-word or use the n-word–not   
   protect them with our silence.   
      
   It’s troubling to see that so many Los Angeles area Democrats   
   have taken donations from a man who has allegedly stalked and   
   preyed on the most vulnerable of society.  Just the fact that   
   the allegations have been made and reported on in news that   
   these politicians are most influenced by should–and normally   
   would–be enough for them to return their donations and issue   
   statements distancing themselves from the accused.  But for the   
   most part nothing. Is it because Ed Buck is white?  Is it   
   because he is white and gay?  Is it because he often maxes out   
   on contributing to their campaigns?  Is it because the accusers   
   are Black gay men?  It it because the accusers are Black?   
      
   These are the questions that Democrats in Los Angeles should be   
   asking themselves about all of this.   
      
   Most of Los Angeles’ Democratic and LGBT community–which are   
   often one in same–has had nothing to say publicly about Moore’s   
   death. Politicians who have received thousands of dollars from   
   Buck over the years have been curiously silent.  I can count on   
   one hand the number of people from the political party of   
   allies, coalition building and we’re stronger together who have   
   made a public call for a thorough investigation into Gemmel   
   Moore’s death in light of the numerous allegations that have   
   been made.  As Democrats we are often the first to call on   
   Republicans to return money at the slightest hint of   
   impropriety–there seems to be a double standard when a   
   Democratic donor is involved in the wrongdoing.   
      
   And while there was no shortage of politicians in Los Angeles   
   falling over themselves to issue statements and be seen in the   
   media condemning the events of Charlottesville and President   
   Trump’s response to them–locally they have seemingly looked the   
   other way and conveniently ignored that one of their top donors   
   might be a serial predator who gets his kicks by drugging   
   vulnerable young Black gay men.
