He was a good man. Made sure all contracts that came through dc employed black people. Wont be another like him for a while . :sadbron:

Unapologetically put money in black peoples pockets.

Obama told black people to stop whining. :camby:

As Mayor:
  • Any developer building in the city he made 30 percent of their contracts go to minority owned firms
  • Guaranteed Summer jobs for all high school students giving mostly black kids opportunities in the work force they would not have otherwise had
  • Made police force go to majority black from almost all white
  • Staffed the DC government with almost all black people, again, from majority white. To this day most agency directors are black.
There are plenty majority black cities with white people running them. DC is not one of those cities and that is the direct result of 16 years of Marion Barry.

As an activist, dude strong armed businesses on some mafia shyt. During the 60's he made white owned businesses support black causes or he would boycott them.

Dude was shot by terrorists, fought cops, did drugs, was a womanizer. . .but most of all was proud as shyt to be black. And nobody could ever tell him anything because the people loved him and he loved them and as long as that was right he would call a racist cac a racist cac and give zero fukks. The man was fukkinG legendary.
Can mods change thread titles? shyts an embarrassment to a fine website like the Coli
