Councilman Kwame Kenyatta and a packed room of Detroiters warned today of an impending revolt against state intervention, urging residents to stock up on canned food and supplies.
“Even the Bloods in the hood fight for their territory,” Kenyatta said during a 20-minute monologue on the civil rights struggle at today’s city council meeting. “You are going to have to drag me out of here for me to leave.”
Kenyatta cited Frederick Douglass, a former slave who became an intellectual and civil rights icon, because of his position that black people must sacrifice their lives, if necessary, to win freedom and the right to vote. Many in the audience stood up and applauded.
One by one, Detroiters pledged to take to the streets once Gov. Rick Snyder appoints an emergency manager, which is expected Thursday or Friday. Others threatened to block the entrance of city hall.
“Save up and purchase food, canned goods and water because you are going to see a new civil rights movement,” pledged Marie Thornton, a former Detroit Public Schools Board member. “I won’t give up my right to vote. We are going to shut down freeways and we are going to disrupt the economic system.”
Added Valerie Glenn, a community activist: “Make sure you are prepared and you will survive.”
Protests so far have been nonviolent. Demonstrators slowed traffic to a few miles per hour on I-75 and I-94 in the past week. But that’s mild for what’s to come, some warned.
What about black Detroiters who aren’t prepared to fight?
“We have fought for everything we have; how do you sit on the sidelines?” Kenyatta asked.
So.... Detroit blacks have fought for the right to destroy their city, their city’s economy and to watch it devolve into yet another failed leftist cesspool of crime, corruption and poverty.
They aren’t too awfully bright, are they.
Councilman Kwame Kenyatta..... People like him have stolen everything that isn’t nailed down. They don’t want their rackets and thievery to end. Where did he get that phony baloney Muslim name
where was u on the 3rd?
I was under the impression that Frederick Douglass was a bit of a pacifist.
Just checked this out on Wikipedia:
Douglass was acquainted with the radical abolitionist John Brown, but disapproved of Brown’s plan to start an armed slave rebellion in the South. Brown visited Douglass’ home two months before he led the raid on the federal armory in Harpers Ferry. After the raid, Douglass fled for a time to Canada, fearing guilt by association and arrest as a co-conspirator. Douglass believed that the attack on federal property would enrage the American public.
Jack wagon. Your city needs to be in conservatorship do it can be saved.
Kwame is a real piece of work:

Of course he’ll keep getting re-elected as long as he wants to.
Hey Kwame, you schmuck. Re about your leaving City Hall.
How about feet first? You are one sicko, but then again, you are one of the reasons Detroit is in the “Big Crapper”.
Kenyatta is out of office now after deciding that he didn’t want to run again last year. It sounds like the support wasn’t there.
Sundy. Drunk. Satidy 2.
They have been watching that little fat some young moon spanker in North Korea make threats for food etc ....
They just trying DPR-Kim’s “Plan-Z” now .....:o)
A city Councilman bragging about criminals turf wars. Trying to make an example of trash poser punks with pistolas who kill for a pair of shoes.
Damn Detroit and everyone who destroyed it. My opinion.
Hope yer well Bert !!
Stay safe !
Oh wow, my bad.
Amazed he jumped off the municipal gravy train.
“Oh no no no for many years now up has been down and left has been right.”

Best laugh I’ve had all day.

i like it...2 steps back
Its hard to tell. He announced that he wasn’t running again last year but I don’t know how long their terms are. Sounds like he doesn’t have many friends on the council. Even Monica Conyers called him an uneducated moron.
That is the point- they dont want a manager (especially an intelligent one) coming in and taking a look at what they have done...They want to continue to run things themselves
I suspect a lot of them WILL be going to jail if it is done right
The early 20th century black leaders simply wanted to be free to succeed or fail by their efforts. They would have been highly insulted by,the modern Democrat party.

Detroit is looking for an ignorant consortium of fools to bail them out like the EU third world countries of Greece, Italy, Spain, etc. Just send money and every thing will be OK.
Make him the first arrest, for inciting violence
