Marion Barry stands by remark that Asian businesses ‘ought to go’ from Ward 8

Do you think there might be a small, tiny little chance that he could possibly be a racist?

suburban Maryland lawmakers of Asian descent — Democratic delegates Sam Arora, Kumar Barve, Susan Lee, Aruna Miller and Kris Valderrama — also called on Barry to apologize.

Too rich

Gee, Mr.Barry, those Asian small business owners are there because they’re willing to take risks, which it appears black small business owner’s are not willing to take on.

As for hiring Ward 8 residents to work in their businesses, perhaps it is because few if any residents apply for jobs, and when they do and are hired, do not show up for work regularly.

Of course, you could do the right thing Mr.Barry, and ask those Asian small business owners why they do not hire Ward 8 residents, but I suspect you can’t handle the truth.

After they leave he can say "his people" live in a "food desert" because of racism.

Their racism.

Is it that these Asian-owned business don’t sell drugs in their back rooms or in the bathrooms, and Barry has to go such a long way to get his supplies? Or that Asian women
who work in these little businesses won’t date him?

"Asked why he singled out Asians in his remarks, Barry said, “Because that’s reality. Who owns these little restaurants? Who owns them? You know, Asians. . .Ninety percent of all the small restaurants in Ward 8, at least.” So if the 'reality' is that most kids doing poorly at school and later committing crimes are of a particular group, is it racist to point that out?

We’re spending our money there, and we demand respect.
You have to demand it because you and your ilk never earned it.

Well, Barry, in the spirit of infantile rhymes, of the type that helped free the doubler murderer Simpson, and so preferred by your arrogantly racist demographic, when it comes to honestly productive “Asians”:

EMULATE, do not eliminate.

Barry should clarify: He meant “White Asians”, like “White Hispanics”.

Gotta get them interlopers out of our neighborhood.

Hey! That's my line! Al Sharpton (He got Freddy's Fashion Mart out of the brothers' neighborhood -- and about five white people off this planet!)

Barry is a clown, but Asians generally don’t hire outside their own race or culture. There may be perfectly good reasons not to, but I get tired of hearing about the employment that immigrants supposedly bring to America. It’s more like a chain migration family affair.

No one has ever asked the “diversity” if they celebrate “diversity.”

“Because that’s reality."

Mr. Barry, you REALLY dont want to start a dialog about reality. Demanding respect when there is nothing there TO respect and demanding that jobs be "given" based on race is not "American as apple pie."

But then again Mr. Barry, you have never impressed people with your displays of vast intellect.

What people HAVE seen is loser, failure and racist.

In short a run of the mill donk.

It’s because the Asian merchants do business through plexiglas shields to avoid getting robbed and shot. That has a depressing effect on the neighborhood business of armed robbery. It’s not fair, no justice. The young men in the area just can’t get ahead.

Far be it for me to defend Barry or his EBT constituency (who’s money are they spending?) but I’ve been on the receiving end of Korean “customer service” in some of these stores and eateries and I can see his point. The worst of them are in those DC neighborhoods and should know what they are dealing with. They’d never survive in the ‘burbs with the attitudes I’ve seen. That Seinfeld episode with the Korean salon wasn’t totally off the mark.

My guess is that Asian restaurants don’t have quick service crack shops in the rear.

First the blacks chase the businesses out, then complain that there are no businesses in black neighborhoods.
