Marion Barry at it again
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0412/74866.html
I guess he has a problem with Asians moving in to his district. We all know the man is a racist fool but what does it say about his district that he keeps on getting elected?
Only a low-post racist freeper troll would post stories about a non-translucent person in an unfavorable light.
From the article:
Ward 8 D.C. Councilman Marion Barry is on the hot seat again.
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.â€
Barry, who won't be opposed in November's general election as he seeks his third consecutive term on the D.C. Council, was unavailable for comment Thursday morning.
In all fairness, Councilman Barry later clarified his comments were intended exclusively for "white Asians."

Yes, but the libs rallied around him, welcomed him back and apparently keep giving him elective offices..

2. He panders and protects his base
So of course he gets re-elected, he is the devil they know that helps them out(even if some of it(ok a lot of it) is half-way illegal).
Says a lot about the racism found in Mr. Barry's constituency.
Next thing you know they'll be taking part in racially-motivated scapegoating.
