Speakers advocating for the deal were taunted by the crowd and cut short by Council President Monica Conyers, who presided over the hearing like an angry bulldog; whites were advised by the citizens to, "Go home."

...When he dared suggest that an improved Cobo Center would create more good-paying jobs for union workers, Conyers reminded him, "Those workers look like you; they don't look like me."

Desperate, he invoked President Barack Obama's message of unity and was angrily warned, "Don't you say his name here."

There apparently is a video of this meeting but it is being kept hush-hush.

what can you say.

all the old stuff like “imagine if a white person said that” seems pathetic. we’re well past those mindless comparisons.

Here's hoping someone gets a copy to Sean Hannity, one of the few media people with the stones to air it.

Yep, it’s already started.

“We’re important now. We gonna get even witch you.”

It’s never, ever been about equality, but dominance. How sad to live your whole life like that.

Good, let these ignorant fools wallow in the cesspool they created for themselves. They seem to love it anyway.

I keep checking YouTube for this video but it hasn't yet appeared. I'd love to see it.

It doesn't matter who the mayor is there. As long as the same people get elected to council there, this will continue to happen in the city of Detroit.

Do we call Detroit "West Zimbabwe" or "North Zimbabwe?"

And the people deserve everything they get.

Nobody can help Detroit if voters again elect a City Council composed of separatists, clueless dowagers and the apparently insane.

I don't think Detroit is going to suddenly elect the competent (and sane) to City Council. Detroit is a lost cause. I couldn't imagine living there as a white person. The comparisons to Zimbabwe couldn't be more apt.

I read this earlier this week.

This is all about who gets to control the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to Rebuild and expand COBO CENTER in Detroit, and the PATRONAGE that goes with it.

Granholm has proposed a regional authority since it is state and regional tax dollars being spent, and Conyers wants it under HER control. SHE wants to be able to decide who gets the contracts. And these RACISTS aren’t afraid to scream “RACISTS!!!” to get it.

Welcome to OBAMUNISM....

We need to put fences around the coties and let them eat each other.
