    He wasn't talking about ethnic cleansing, he was talking about getting rid of the bloodsuckers in our community who treat us like animals and take our money and don't reinvest in the community that pays their damn mortgage and sends their little children to private schools. He's telling black folks to be like the Chinese, Italians, Koreans, Greeks, Irish, Somalians, Jews and other ethnic groups who build whole towns (Chinatown, Greek town, Korea town, Spanish Harlem, Little Italy ect. ect.) for their own benefit and do for self. He is telling Black folks to stop depending on the white man for food, clothing and shelter and to unite with our own and build and run our own schools, businesses, Corporations, hospitals, factories, farms and mills. Anyone who says he means to murder human beings is a liar and/or is ignorant. Don't try to make Marion Barry out to be like the wicked powers of this and other governments.

    " black folk to stop demending on the white man for food , cloth, shelter ... "

    damn, that would put 60 % of the black folk out in the street , nakid, and hungry,

    black folk , sit on the corner and wait for the white man to feed and house them, the rest are fed and housed in county prison...

    You're an idiot. Black folks spend nearly 1 TRILLION dollars in the American economy and by 2015 will reach 1.1 trillion http://www.louisianaweekly.co... Other notable findings in the report include:

    With a buying power of nearly 1 trillion annually, if Blacks were a country, they'd be the 16th largest country in the world. If we pooled our resources in our community and use it to invest or produce, there would be plenty of jobs and the ability to feed clothe and shelter ourselves. UNFORTUNATELY when we get our tax refund, we go straight to the store and that store 9 times out of ten is owned by those who will not invest in our communities. TIME TO DO FOR SELF

    He's an elected member of a district council. The voters can decide to recall him, or just not reelect him. But I don't think he can be fired.

    Marion shouldn't have the job anyways. They need to drug test him and see if he's back on the drugs. The only race he wants in DC is black, always has been.

    If it wasn't for Asians a lot of blacks would be driving miles to a supermarket, they are one of the few races that will risk having a business in your hoods and have had property damaged, thefts and been shot for it.

    Naw....he should be taken out to sea and be given a canoe and a paddle and set loose at about 500 miles. He will clearly miss enough work to be fired. If he gets back.....oh well!

    Such statements indicate racial intolerance, and therefore meet the definition of racism:

    rac·ism   /ˈreɪsɪzəm/ Show Spelled[rey-siz-uhm] Show IPA
    noun
    1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
    2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
    3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
    - http://dictionary.reference.c...

    His position is just as intolerant as the majority of Mississippi Republicans who have problems with interracial marriage.

    I believe there is only ONE type of situation that would justify racial discrimination: dramatic casting for ethnic roles, whether as undercover cops, Cosby's children, or other similar situations where cross-ethnic casting would seriously impair credibility.

    However I gather this isn't the first time he's said or done something like this.....and DC keeps re-electing him anyways. He has a history of this, and some alcohol problems as well if I remember. It's DC's responsibility to ouster....but I doubt they'll do it.

    there's this thing called impeachment and prosecution that will take down a president.

    and there's something else called a recall.
    have you happened to notice what's going on in Wisconsin lately?

    and then there's the simple vote. I hope the residents of DC give him his marching orders the next time he's eligible to be fired - whichever mechanism is available there.

    It's the progressive double standard.

    Had anyone other than progressive said this, they would've been out of any position of leadership a long time ago.

    Speaking of leadership in the black communities ......... Sharpton and Jackson try but fall far short as usually in every public utterance.

    When are you blacks gonna get some new spokespersons?
