He then went on to say... “ Of course God is white”....

Actually, I hope this guy “gets it” and turns his life around. I just want to see him do it out of office.

God isn’t punishing him. He is merely reaping what he sowed by disobeying God.

I don't think it is G_d he has to worry about in the near future....

I think he ought to be more concerned with a Federal Grand Jury and Federal Prosecutor.....

Just a wild-@$$ guess on my part.

God is serious business, and blaming your actions on him is not a good start. He will forgive on his terms. This moron may not get there.

With all honesty and deep understanding of his situation, I’d just like to say: What a Dip $hit.

Hebrews 12

5And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons:
“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,

6because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son.

Proverbs 3:11

11 My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline
and do not resent his rebuke,

If he’s being punished by God, then he should stop feigning innocence.

Good to hear you understand that, Kwame. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

I am being punished by my God.

Well, that's what you get for worshiping Bacchus. ;)

Actually, I hope this guy “gets it”

Unfortunately he will --- re-elected...........

Stupid is as stupid does in Detroit......

Most of the gainfully employed have fled the city to the surrounding burbs such as Eastpointe, Roseville, etc.......most of those left are the ones too poor to flee and too stupid to try and do so and the rest are the chronically unemployed and druggies..............

I do not believe in Karma, except as a parallel to the Biblical concept of “reaping what we sow”.

That said, Mr Mayor: What goes around, comes around.
