Marion Barry complains of Asian-owned 'dirty' shops after winning DC primary
Published April 05, 2012 | FoxNews.com
Former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry is once again attracting the wrong kind of attention, after he used his election-night victory speech to decry Asian-owned stores.
"We've got to do something about these Asians coming in, opening up businesses -- those dirty shops," Barry said Tuesday night, after winning the Democratic primary for the city's Ward 8 seat and effectively securing a third council term.
Barry went on to say: "They ought to go. I'll just say that right now, you know. But we need African-American businesspeople to be able to take their places, too."

You should get down on your knees every night and thank Da Lord you weren't born a Republican.
Black people can be racists. They can’t commit hate crimes either.
The bitch must’ve “set him up” again.
Just affirmation that certain parts (and maybe DC in its entirety) are a cesspool, to see this guy re-elected in any position.
The real question is whether Marion Barry's brain is messed up by too much crack or not enough of it today.
What primary? This diphit that the world watched trying buy cocaine won a primary? Recently? That’s it. That’s the last sign. Hold on to your hats, sports fans. We’re going over the falls.
he’s provoking a repeat of “go loot and burn a Korean grocer” from South Central
That dirt is the seed corn which, when fertilized with hard work, becomes the American dream. I wouldn't expect a politician like Marion Berry to understand that.
How many Asians store-owners have been shot or killed in their Black neighborhoodies?

This, from the guy that tried to rid the streets in DC of crack........1 rock at a time.
I lived in DC in the late 80’s, when Barry had his first public issues with Cocaine, whores, and kickbacks.
I still remember the video of him, totally high, pawing at some woman saying “c’mon baby!” (I do the exact same voice and routine with my wife when I want to annoy her!)
I never overestimated the local population of DC, but even then, was totally surprised that Barry was practically made a hero, and still has a political life 25 years later.
you nailed it
why didnt blacks open businesses where the asians did?
was anyone stopping them?
yes but the idea of looting and buring a Korean Grocer was quickly abandoned when they figured out they had shotguns and were willing to use them to protect their shops
The asian market stores were the few remaining intact after the riots came (curiously on the same day the welfare checks arrived)
I believe that's a result of what they call "keepin' it real."
I wonder if there's a connection?
“why didnt blacks open businesses where the asians did?”
I’m starting to think it was because they have IQs of 40 because their crack ho parent didn’t follow the liberal plans of abortion—but then that wouldn’t have given them government freebies and the ability to go to failing DC schools.
I think it was the first time I heard the phrase "sticking it to the man!"
