Marion Barry passes away


One of the last of the great political pimps. He'll definitely be missed by the Black folks in D.C.

RIP Mayor for Life

Had the pleasure of having a convo with the Mayor for life on election day while volunteering. As I stated a few weeks ago on here. People can say what they want about Marion but the reason that the DMV area has such a strong black middle class is because Barry forced these major contractors and firms to bring minorities in the fold if they wanted to do business in DC. The city is now in the middle of a transformation and one of my personal goals is to do everything I can to make sure that the next generation of entrepreneurs to run this city looks like us.
 
People who were not born in DC have done the most for the city. Marion did not have that Bougie about him that these light skin NE born folks have.

R.I.P Mayor for Life

Please explain that comment. You seem to contradict what Pops is saying.

It's sad that he's going to be remembered more for smoking crack than his public service...

Andre Agassi once said 'Image is Everything'. Like most leaders he started with good intentions, but got caught up. After getting filmed smoking drugs he should have never been elected to public office again. He discredited the entire city of DC.
