Marion Barry along with demagogues like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton are part of the “failure racket”. They need and want down and out blacks. They derive their power from them. If that base vanishes, their power base (i.e. “the mob”) vanishes. Asians moving into the neighborhood starting with nothing but hard work, improve their life and work their way up the ladder. Can’t have that; it puts a lie to the race baiters plea.
Asians can’t be tolerated in these communities. They prove that it’s not the neighborhood that leads to poverty, it the people. Once the people of these poor communities figure our that they could elevate themselves above poverty without the poverty pimps, it’s over for the democrats.
