“And what’s the deal with the white chocolate in Zero Candy Bars?
Why isn’t there enough dark chocolate for Zero Candy Bars in Ward Eight?
This racist mentality against the voters of Ward Eight forcing them to eat white chocolate must stop.
I blame the Jews, Mormons and all the sisters named Noxema. And I hate Miracle whip too!” -Marion Barry.

I had the same thought. Do you think Marion Berry will follow up with the idea that education can be a 'black thing', and kids really ought to stay in school? To do that, though, he'll have to tell the guys to get out of gangs, and stay off drugs. Then he'd have to tell the girls that they ought to tell the guys NO, so they won't get pregnant at 14 and 15, and consign themselves and their children to a life of poverty.
