Anything in the book about how he avoided arrest for the OIC financial fiasco (his wife and the othe OIC officers went to jail but not him)?
Anything on gets arms for black youth at Agnes Sailor’s farm in nearby Virginia?
Anything about how he beat his second wife Effie so badly that she had to go, incognito, to a hospital in Baltimore fore restorative treatment of her beautiful face?
Anything about his role when on the DC City Council in the 1970’s, in restricting the ability of the DC Metropolitan Police Department’s CID in keeping track of local and incoming radicals, internal Black Moslem infighting, and KGB-related operatives coming in for the “peace movement”?
Karim Abdul Jabbar’s Moslem faction, the Hannafis, were literaly wiped out in a murderous raid by an opposing Black Moslem faction. The Hannafis had been under surveillance by the CID until ordered to stop operations, one of the demands of Barry and his leftist/communist friends.
Won’t even mention kickbacks, cronyism, and other criminal activities of the Mayor for Life. It should have been “Convict for Life”, but in DC, a self-promoted black radical rip-off artist (a literal mentor for Al Sharpton), keeps getting elected by the “no education/low education and dumbassed” black electorate.
Honest blacks were afraid to speak out against the Barry Machine for fear of their life, limb, job and family.
DC is still stinking and stained from Barry’s ignominious and crook career.
If there is ever a museum for black politican crooks and charlatans, it will include:
Marion Barry
Al Sharpton
Jesse Jackson Jr, and son
Gov. Dervil Patrick
Rep. John Conyers Jr
Rep. Charles Rangel
Rep. Danny Davis
Mayor Coleman Young
and a cast of thousands
“and a cast of thousands”
Including Congressman Hank Johnson (who was concerned that the island of Guam would “tip over and capsize” if too many American troops were sent there) and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (Will the Mars Rover visit the area of Mars where the astronauts planted the flag?), and, of course, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (”We do not have a crisis at Freddie Mac, and particularly Fannie Mae, under the outstanding leadership of Frank Raines”).
