DETROIT (WWJ) Prominent Detroit political consultant Adolph Mongo threw a verbal Molatov cocktail with an open letter in Deadline Detroit today saying it’s time for black people to “tell the UAW and Democratic Party to buzz off.”
In a long opinion piece, he wrote the two stalwarts of African American political life haven’t done enough to help black people, and it may be time to embrace Republicans. “Look at our recent history and the best years in Detroit came under a working relationship between a black mayor, Coleman A. Young, and a white Republican governor, William Milliken,” he wrote.
He’s urging local African Americans not to blindly vote the way they’ve traditionally voted, supporting the UAW and Democrats, and instead make them court their vote with new black leadership.
“If we are not good enough to lead the UAW, or lead the Democratic Party or head the party ticket, why should we support an agenda that is anti-us?” he wrote.
“Black people and Detroit need to run away — not walk, but run,” Mongo told WWJ’s Vickie Thomas. He added the vast majority of Detroiters voted for President Barack Obama, and he “hasn’t been in Detroit since 2008.”
Never one to shy away from controversy, in January Mongo called on Detroit NAACP President Rev. Wendell Anthony to resign over his decision to honor Kid Rock at a dinner. His bone of contention was that Kid Rock, a native metro Detroiter, has been known to fly a Confederate flag, the flag that represented the South in its Civil War fight to preserve slavery.
“Rev. Anthony is making it OK for people like Kid Rock to fly the … confederate flag,” Mongo told Thomas earlier this year. “So, if he was wearing a Nazi flag and, and had it at his concerts, he wouldn’t be at the Palace, he wouldn’t be at none of these venues around the country because promoters would not book him.”

ROFLMAO! Who woulda knew?
I know his brother Larry very well, he went thru my company's tool and die apprenticeship and worked as a T&D maker till the plant closed in 2006..........
Kudos to Larry tho, at last count, his wife had at least 5 hair styling salons around Detroit and after the plant closed, Larry opened up a restaurant called "Cafe D'Mongo's Speakeasy " on Griswald........
I remember years ago attending a Red Wings game at Cobo Arena and running into Larry in the downstairs aisleway. He invited me upstairs to his framily's suite to watch the game...............LOL!
It is nice that the same old excuses don’t work anymore. Here’s wishing for the best,

Candy-gram for Mongo.
His reasons look a little milque-toasty to me.
Coleman Young CRATERED Detroit and blamed whites from the suburbs for all the ills he’d created or helped to create.
The Demagogic Party is the party of slavery, of secession, of the Klan, of Jim Crow — how’s that compare with Kid Rock flying a confederate flag?
Good point Civ...
I was in Richmond Kentucky earlier this week.
The big story was the KKK. Apparently KKK flyers had appeared in mailboxes and front doors in several areas of town
I doubt if the current KKK is made of moonbats
Some Black leaders are looking at the population numbers, the relatively (as a %) stagnant one of their own community and the explosive one of the Hispanic Community and realizing that they’re at the tipping point of political power and relevancy. If Dems can grab 60-70% of Hispanics they don’t need 90% of Blacks anymore.
The Black Community is on the verge of being completely marginalized in US politics. By the very Party and ideology they helped elevate. Some of their leaders are starting to get scared. They should.
Lots of fairly upscale whites moving into Detroit these days. Companies like Quicken, JP Morgan, Ernst & Young etc have moved thousands of people to Detroit in recent years.
For those companies its a better business environment than the east coast and for their employees, making NY money in Detroit is like becoming a millionaire.
The big companies are also dumping a lot of money into Detroit by their own choice. They want to attract others to do business in Detroit so downtown and the riverfront are looking really good these days. The state seized control of Belle Isle and its been transformed just since spring and lots of private money is being spent there as well.
Its a top notch town for sports too.
Why is it that I read that and immediately think of Ras al Ghul’s take on Gotham in Batman Begins? Specifically the part where he laments how intervention by Thomas Wayne and others prevented Gotham from imploding, thus becoming an object lesson/example to the rest if the world?
They are entirely Demwit, even assuming it wasn’t a false flag op (which would definitely be Demwit).
