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."

Barry is simply expressing the progressive view of small business - Obama says the same thing in a more polished way.

That’s what the Nazis did. Got rid of Jewish store owners and put good Aryans in their place.

Since I know from experience what DC residents are like, I understand how Barry keeps getting elected.

DC is a cesspool and Barry is an excellent representative for the population of DC (federal work force).

Just another example of sheer stupidity. Like grocery stores in the ghetto which get looted or shoplifted until they close their doors, then the denizens of said ghetto cry about the “food desert”.

I’ve noticed too. Yes there’s a connection, “my people” Holder made it so clear that even those with an IQ of 70 could understand.

“why didnt blacks open businesses where the asians did?”

Because running a small store is REAL WORK!

I have an Indian friend who looked into it. He figured out that if he busted his tail for an entire year, working 80-90 hours per week, and risking having a gun shoved in his face every day, he might clear 50 grand at the end of the year.

If Obama had a brother, he would look like Marion Barry.
