" "And no offense, but let's grow our own teachers, let's grow our own nurses"

But in order to do that they have to go to school and learn math and science- and that would be "actin' white"

can't be havin' that

[MrB]

So, Marion, do you know of another demographic that is qualified and willing to do the work?

Yes, TWO qualifications above - qualified AND willing. Not affirmative actioned in and surly.

[Daffynition]

Wait til he finds out we're going to have a shortage of doctors soon.

[TexasCajun]

Barry, your people don't want to work!!

They want Obamah Stash!

[Gay State Conservative]

Of course these comments were made between hits of his crack pipe.

Message to the former Mayor:Hey,Crackhead,there's a serious shortage of nurses in this country so,basically,it's either Filipino nurses or no nurses at all.

[Carriage Hill]

Hey, Marion moron: fire-up that crack pipe and chill with the racism, you ho’-lovin’ a-hole creep.

[dfwgator]

The Filipina Bitch set him up.

[Don Corleone]

These people are so intellectually deficient as to give morons an advantage.

One thing is for certain: Marion Barry truly reflects the values, attitudes and criminal history of his constituents. There is no doubt about that. I hope he accomplishes everything he hopes for for his Ward: black-only-run and staffed hospitals, black-only-owned and operated stores, scaled back MPD presence, and a rock in every pot.

[Forgotten Amendments]

I saw the clip and this is unfair. He was encouraging more local nurses, not saying anything racist about Filipina nurses.

Barry apologized, but maintained "that there are a number of the Asian-owned, neighborhood stores and carry-outs in Ward 8 that only sell highly caloric food and that, unlike some other Asian businessmen in Ward 8, don't reach out to neighborhood groups, make financial contributions to the neighborhood, or help young people in the neighborhood improve their quality of life."

Looks like the Asian businessmen are not in the habit of"contributing" to Barrys "campaign" funds.

drug-addled no-account.

D.C. deserves this clown.

Diversitah! is a one-way street.

[television is just wrong]

hmm, I have heard that the philippino nurses are paid less and only get 6 months of training in their homeland.
they make less money the hosptials don’t want to pay American nurses what they are worth, because they want to build that new non profit wing.

[Our man in washington]

I wish people like this would sign a legally binding form saying “if I am seriously ill, I only want to be treated by medical personnel who were chosen for their field because of affirmative action.”

By the way, a Filipina nurse saved my life once.

[Red Badger]

...but let's grow our own teachers, let's grow our own nurses -- and so that we don't have to be scrounging around in our community clinics and other kinds of places -- having to hire people from somewhere else."

Tell 'your people' to stay their lazy butts in school, throw down the crack pipes and malt liquor bottles, get jobs, go to college and become nurses and teachers.......and stop voting for slave master dems..............

In some ways, you have to be refreshed by this. Here you have a politician who makes no bones about the fact that he wants a racial spoils system. Blacks are in charge so hire blacks and keep the whites, Latinos and Asians out. Its stupid and biggoted. Marion Barry is a low-rent, underhanded, corrupt fool. But its better than having to listen to the moralizing that would justify this as anything other than a racial spoils system.
