White Liberals will let them vote for them and get them into power but will they live with them? Of course not. And Marion Berry is still around apparently. “We’re going to stop this trend — gentrification,” said D.C. Council member Marion Barry (D-Ward 8). “We can’t displace old-time Washingtonians.” “The key to keeping this city black is jobs, jobs, jobs for black people so they can have a better quality of life in neighborhoods in the city,” he added. “I believe in integration, but I don’t believe in the apartheid we have in Ward 8. You don’t see corner stores in Ward 3. You don’t see the liquor stores.” Barry, the four-term mayor who emerged from the civil rights movement, also faulted Congress for overturning a residency requirement for local government workers in 1988. That, he said, helped build up what he called “Ward 9,” referring to Prince George’s County. “We can’t keep people from moving, but if we had a residency requirement, we could keep government workers from moving,” Barry said.

DC's never had anything other than a black mayor, and I think there's maybe on white guy on the city council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 How that clown Berry still is in politics is a testament to the stupidity of the people who voted for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white liberals I'm talking about are the federal workers and bureaucrats who overwhelmingly vote democrat and are pricing blacks out of the neighborhoods.
