Her husband is just such a paragon of tolerance, I just don't know where she gets this... /sarc

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Conyers is just a lawn jockey.

Says it all...

[cripplecreek]

Don’t hatin. You gotta be respectin her all up in here.

[EyeGuy]

Gee a race baiting third world savage against a Teamster Union thug.

Like the good old days of the Iran-Iraq War, I hope they both lose. Big.

[arealconservativeforachange]

They burned the city and looted it in ‘67.
Whitey said enjoy your hell, we’re outta here!

Their still mad we didn’t rebuild it for them.

Oh freakin’ well.

With calls for self-determination in how the venue operates, members of Detroit's embattled City Council have reopened wounds more than four decades old.

Good grief. 40 years? Who cares anymore? If that rule worked for Obama and Bill Ayers then it should work here.

[denydenydeny]

Conyers said her comments were not race-baiting. "Everybody's played the race card but me. I've not said anything about race," she said later Wednesday.

I have no doubt that she fully believes this, even though it's at complete variance with the facts. People like Conyers are so invested in victimhood that they believe themselves no longer subject to the laws of logic, grammar, or physics.

[FrankR]

It is a proven pseudo-medical certainty that there is nothing available to "salve" racial wounds.

It is also further evident that people who possess "racial wounds" don't want to be healed - like most hypocondriacs, these people derive hours of payoff for sporting these nifty wounds. They get unparallelled attention and "victimhood credits" to trick their ego into thinking they are right and deserving.

Flys and other government insects flit about these "wounds", aggravating their effect on America. Healing these wounds would amount to racial malpractice and a person could lose their naacpacorndnc credentials.

These people were trained to play sick instead of going to school, to call in pitiful to get out of work, and to play the victim to be entitled to cradle-to-grave life care.

No, we cannot allow these wounds to heal, as America might start working and being great again, and disappoint the Kenyan.

[Tarpon]

OK, at first I thought the title was Detroit is a racial wound.

Conyers isn't racist, she just orders whites to leave the room. That's not racist, naw no such thing. What if some white ordered her to leave the room?

I’ve worked as an exhibitor during the SAE show at Cobo, which was such a huge event that the joke was the security zones of “Fort Cobo” and “Fort Westin” were extended to the road between the two for that week.

I can tell you that the unions have the Cobo shows so tied up it’s ridiculous. Displayers will wait hours for a member of the “right” union to show up and do something a small child could do.

Needless to say, this sort of Dim intramural squabbling should be egged on whenever possible.

ILLEGAL PLAYING OF THE RACE CARD!!!

[ConservativeColumns]

I wonder what would have happened had a white politician said that to a black constituent.

[sauropod]

I heard about this.

These race whores are sowing the wind.

They will reap the whirlwind and it will be terrible when it comes.

[wac3rd]

Maybe she can pull from the volumes of African success and bring one to the forefront in plagued Detroit.

“Racial wounds”?

Calling G Orwell!

Oh it gets better (or worse, depending on how you look at it).

Conyers said her comments were not race-baiting. "Everybody's played the race card but me. I've not said anything about race," she said later Wednesday.

Last week, Conyers, who is black, told a white Teamsters' union official during a contentious meeting on whether to accept the deal that most of the people who work at Cobo during the annual North American International Auto Show "don't look like me. They look like you."

Pro Tem President Collins, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, was irate during the meeting and talked about how Europeans came into her village "raping her and taking what they want."

At one point, she broke out into the 19th Century hymn, "Onward Christian Soldiers."

Collins said no matter what "the battle now is to uphold the integrity of Detroit."

Conyers, wife of Democratic Congressman John Conyers

She appears to be a lot younger then Congresman Conyers, so if she is his 'trophy wife' it must have been for third place.

[taildragger]

The real story....

5 years of negotiations went down the tube with Conyers and her fakata carnival board.

Cobo Hall is a dying venue. A regional board convined and come up with a solution after 5 years something to this effect 3 counties would by it, take the debt load and maintence from Detroit and hire a mgt team and they would have gotten a lions share of the profits.

Monica Conyers through a hissy fit that the white burbs were essentially stealing their jewel.

She esentially pissed away 5 years of work with this vote. The region and the players, you can tell on local radio in a way they are stunned.

The may loose the NAIAS to Chicago.

What a mess....

WJR AM 760 out of Detroit is doing a great job of asking the right questions, standing for logic and reason, and therefore frequently confounding and angering the libs in government there, including Conyers and Granholm. If you can tune them in (powerhouse), check them out. But at 5 pm Mitch Album, no FRiend, goes on and that’s when many (I’d guess most) tune out.
