Friday, as city leaders worked on a plan to save the Detroit Zoo, a council member made a controversial comment. Kwame Kenyatta called L. Brooks Patterson the "Grand Dragon of Oakland County," a title typically associated with the Ku Klux Klan.
During a Detroit City Council meeting to discuss transferring the Detroit Zoo from the city to the Zoological Society, council member Kwame Kenyatta lashed out at Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson.
"We’ve asked for a public apology from Mr. Brooks Patterson. He’s refused to give such an apology which ranks him right up there with being a Grand Dragon, in fact, I call him the Grand Dragon of Oakland County who said that this council belong in the zoo as opposed to making decisions for the zoo. And of course he made the comment during the height of Black History Month," he said.
Tuesday, after council rejected a plan that could cost the zoo $4 million in aid, Patterson said in a press conference that council members belong in a zoo, not deciding its fate.
This occurred after council member Barbara Rose-Collins suggested on Monday that state legislatures were treating them as if they were on a plantation, a statement for which she has apologized.

This should be a fun fight.
"Detroit delenda est"
Is there any Detroit official NOT named "Kwame?"
Kwame Kenyatta is following the path of Coleman Young. Shame that Nichols lost to the catfish.
Brooks takes NO KRAP from Detroit, under ANY ownership! Trust me, he's having a ball with kwammee and the Kouncil, LOL
Bwaahahahahahahaaaa!!!!!
The City of Royal Oak (the actual location of the "Detroit Zoo) or the County or State should sieze it, IMO. The kwamees have let it run down just like everything else they touch, and now one of the larger Zoos in the country is about to become indistinguishable from Detroit itself.

Truly amazing. The inmates have seized the asylum.
I can only imagine what Detroit will be like in 20 years when common-sense flight has caused all but the nost lazy, most corrupt, most animalistic and most brutal to be the only beings left.
Will it be a ghost town or a de-militarized zone?
Are you watching East St. Louis?
Are you watching Cincinnati?
Are you watching Cleveland?
Are you watching Houston?
Hurrican Katrina will prove to be a blessing in disguise that, in the long run, will have saved New Orleans.
Youse means dat Grand Dragon Brooks don' takes no Kwamee Kouncil Krap?
Tomorrow's headline: G.D Brooks Tells Kenyatta to take his K-K-Krap & Kram it!
The Detroit blacks have very stiff competition these days as far as playing the aggrieved, insulted victim. The cartoon rage of the Muhammadans is way ahead of them
Thanks for the link. That is depressing. Looks like a third-world country. Click on Mrs. Conyers and there's a very prominent "ZOO ALERT" next to her pic. Thought that was pretty funny. She must be the communist traitor's wife.
Kwame Kenyatta. Is that his birth name, or heaven forfend, his Christian name?
Or is it some AKA that goes at the bottom of his rap sheet?
Or does his AKA go in the top line and his real name in the AKA line?

ten to one he was born named for a dead president. Detroit was a black panther town during and after the '67 loot-first-burn-later proceedings.....this is also where Conyers was first seen on top of a car with a megaphone.
Detriot really was a Grand old City until then, and its been downhill ever since.....what you might THINK you saw on the tube with the Superbowl was a contrived sham....its 90% wasteland and dangerous everywhere unless they're putting on a show......they even got serious about arresting wanted felons during the month previous to the Bowl. There has been no competent and good-willed leadership since Coleman Young took office in about 1972.
Very instructive; it's good to hear from someone close to the situation. Thanks.
