We've got to do something about all these Asians

[GSH]

It's a good thing a White Hispanic like George Zimmerman didn't say something like this. There would be riots in the streets. I mean.... an elected official in Washington D.C.? Where's Jesse and Al?

And don't bother telling us that Marion Barry is an idiot. It's not about him. It's about the gigantic sucking sound from the left, when one of their own goes public with his racism.

Celebrating his victory in the Democratic primary on Tuesday night, Barry spoke up about the prominence of businesses owned by Asians in the District.

“We got to do something about these Asians coming in and opening up businesses and dirty shops,” Barry said in remarks first reported by WRC-TV. “They ought to go. I’m going to say that right now. But we need African-American businesspeople to be able to take their places, too.”

Dirty shops? Really? I guess Marion won't be shaking their hands, either.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

GSH were you born from 1945 to 1964?

[BlairForceDejuan]

Nobody cares about racism, how many points can we score from this!?

[Oh, Gee!!]

Barry is an idiot?

One of my great-grandmothers was Black Seminole. I'm sure you've never heard of them. Escaped slaves who moved in with the Seminole tribes in Florida.

My grandfather (on the other side) wasn't allowed to go to school because he was an Indian. (My family refuses to use PC terms like Native American.) He died from TB he got while serving this country in the Cavalry, in Europe, as a blacksmith.

One of my aunts died from a rattlesnake bite she got picking peas. She was 9 years old. Another died from dehydration as a small child, because they couldn't get a doctor to see her.

My family has earned the right to an opinion, just as much as yours. Whatever techniques you might use to invalidate it. Fuck off with your speculation about my background.

I absolutely LOVE it when the left comes out of the closet.

Nice one.

[ElNono]

I doubt there would be "riots on the street"... but that doesn't mean that dude Barry isn't an idiot

[Oh, Gee!!]

barry has become more a radical, racial, seperationist, isolationalist since he started smoking crack. maybe there's a correlation?

[boutons_deux]

So, Mr Barry, what's stopping black and Hispanic citizens from opening those very same shops instead of Asian immigrants? Could it be cultural, difference in work ethic?

[Oh, Gee!!]

I absolutely LOVE it when the left comes out of the closet.

Nice one.

What does that mean? you're claiming all these amazing feats on behalf of your ancestors, but what have you done?

[George Gervin's Afro]

I absolutely LOVE it when the right comes out and further proves what idiots they are.

Nice one.

You arrogang fucking pricks. Both of you.

My mom was living with relatives in California. She talks about how everything was rationed. My family used to bring things to share with the people in the camp. Things that they already didn't have enough of. (I think the camp was at Stockton, if I remember right.)

You people presume way too fucking much about anyone who has a different point of view. I'm done with you. Whether I post here anymore or not, you're not worth recognition.

cry much? if you were an american you'd understand that everyone is entitled to any opinion they want regardless of what their ancestors did. the fact that one is an american is all the justification they need for having an opinion. I was just giving you a hard time b/c it sounds like your family has done some interesting stuff, but you haven't done shit.

[Winehole23]

erstwhile DC mayor for life and crack smoker Marion Barry plays cynically on race? that's a totally new one on me...

For the record: He is an idiot. He has been an idiot. He will always be an idiot.

As a Democrat I am appalled about his behavior, and would like nothing more than having him booted, if he is even still a member of the party.

That said, most local elections don't even use party affiliations.

Which would make him a local idiot, and the people who voted for him, knowing he is an idiot, idiots.

THAT said, why exactly is a Washington councilman supposed to be a national concern?

Because you say so?

[RandomGuy]

And don't bother telling us that Marion Barry is an idiot. It's not about him. It's about the gigantic sucking sound from the left, when one of their own goes public with his racism.

The implication is, of course that absent a 24/7 outragathon about this, which you seem to feel is warranted, it is condoned.

Do you have any quotes from a Democrat agreeing with him?

Do you think that anybody on the left condones this?

[ElNono]

Lol, you felt the need to tell us that you are black and american indian as if that makes any difference one way or another.

Them enduring hardship is noteworthy but I fail to see how that makes your opinion worth more than anyone elses. Given that your ancestor from 4 generations ago was an escaped slave that puts her born prior to 1860. that does line up for you being born 1945 to 1964.

You have to earn your own way fuckface. Their noble deeds does not excuse you being a deceptive, obfuscating piece of shit.

[CosmicCowboy]

Barry is right. those damn asians are making even our white kids look lazy and dumb.

If you want to roll that way, I can think of 1,300,000,000 Indians who might find it odd that people would cling to a mistake made by some idiot 300 years ago. They would find it less politically correct and more... how do you say in English? Accurate?

I love Indian food. I know tons of Indians, and find their diverse cultures and languages fascinating. Hell, I even dated an Indian once.

Now try to figure out which group of people I am talking about.

[clambake]

as if marion barry is on someone's team. lol

[RandomGuy]

What did I do?

Disagreed with him, I would guess. I think he would find me to be in that category as well.

People who don't like having their views challenged tend to think of people that do challenge their views as arrogant pricks.

They also have a habit of giving up in forums when challenged, in favor of echo-chambers. Yoni comes to mind.

[Blake]

Barry is right. those damn asians are making even our white kids look lazy and dumb.

We all know that's probably how you really feel.

[JoeChalupa]

I am embarrassed and distancing.

[Blake]

What did I do?

:lol

GSH firing bullets at anyone in range.

[Oh, Gee!!]

what barry says is important and should be on the front page of every news publication!!! every outlet should operate like Drudgereport (iow posting every possible news story/blog that makes black people look violent, ignorant, etc.)!!!!

[CosmicCowboy]

We all know that's probably how you really feel.

And we all know you are a butthurt fucking idiot.

[TeyshaBlue]

This emerging Black v. Asian theme is not unique to DC. We've been playing around with it in DFW too.

D.C., the perfect example of a city run by Dimm-o-craps. Produce nothing, schools
are crap, and depend on the government for everything they have. Even their
"non-representative" in Congress does nothing but draw a pay check and attempt to
vote.

I'm sure you are, Joe. I'm sure you.

[Winehole23]

@ xray:

while it is certainly true that DC is true blue, the US Congress has supreme authority over the city.


The District is governed by a locally elected mayor and 13-member city council. However, the United States Congress has supreme authority over the city and may overturn local laws. Residents therefore have less self-governance than residents of the U.S. states. The District has a non-voting, at-large Congressional delegate, but no senators. D.C. residents could not vote in presidential elections until the ratification of the Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1961.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,D.C

Yeah, like all cities run by republicraps are better.

anyone else seeing the irony here? partisanship in this country is so amusing.

[RandomGuy]

I didn't say I couldn't figure it out, or that it wasn't obvious.

I said that "Native American" is more accurate than "Indian".

"Indian" civilization has been around for thousands of years before our country. If anyone deserves to be pissy about use of the term it is the people *in* or from INDIA.

Did that help?

(not trying to be an ass, just clearly understood)

[EVAY]

I can't believe that Marion Barry is out of jail

I can't believe that the idiot voters in D.C. re-elected the jerk.

When I lived there for a while he got like a 70% percent election total and when I remarked to a native how astounding that seemed to me (how popular he was) they smiled at me and said "oh, right...you're new here aren't you?"

I think the guy is certifiable, and the D.C electorate has to be to keep him in.

Remember, he isn't the mayor. He is a councilman.

He doesn't even have to convince the entire city to vote for him. It is also what makes him far less relevant, and what makes the OP far less honest.

[LnGrrrR]

Definitely a stupid and offensive thing for him to say. Thanks for posting GSH.

No one cares about Asians. It's harsh but true.

Oh, thanks, RG. I did not realize that. I thought he had been reelected mayor again.

You're right. It is a lot less relevant.

But he is still a jerk!:lol

Remember when I was talking about always having to argue against stances that aren't yours because someone has decided you play for the same team as someone else? In other words, some crack head speaks out about something and I have to rail against it or I'm for it or I have to be outraged even though I hadn't heard of it or I'm a hypocrite?

This thread is a textbook example. Its much easier to defeat people in arguments when you decide their positions for them. So dumb.

[MannyIsGod]

Honestly, do you guys think that ever racist remark that is uttered by the GOP gains huge media attention? Really?

[JoeChalupa]

And I'm clueless?
