Marion Barry Claims Gay Vendetta

What I find totally sad - that now more than ever - our nation's capitol reflects more accurately that which readily plagues everyday America. Gone is the stark or ironic contrast which used to easily make D.C. hide her head. Of course - if you commute from Maryland - chances are you already pay someone to hide their head for you. But there is hope for everyone. Your America is in fact what you make of it. So who's the bigger fool - the fool who leads or the fool who follows?

I don't think most people outside of the district understand the stranglehold Marrion Barry has over this city. He is the root of most corruption and shady dealings outside of Capitol Hill in the nations capitol. City government is nothing but layer upon layer of administrators making (outrageous) salaries most all appointed by Barry or his cronies. He places key community people on the payroll so they, their friends & family continue to vote him in power. Barry and his actions prevent the poor from rising from poverty, and keep this city from becoming the Jewel of this country instead of an embarrassment. His death will be of no loss to this city. I hope Catania can finally nail him, and take down this filthy individual.

WHO CARES if he did crack and cheated on his wife? If he was a gay councilman, would we really care if he snorted a line of a gogo boy's johnson and cheated on his longtime companion? I doubt it. What is bothersome is how African Americans were led to the trough of the Almighty Jesus, not even their historical deity! A white dude! At least the African pantheistic gods were largely nature related. Bring back Shango!!

A gay man is out to get me! The deluded fantasies of a closet case, or the deranged rantings of a crack addict? You decide.

Hitting the crack pipe again, Mr Barry?

Marion Barry should have faded into oblivion many years ago when he was busted buying drugs. The only bigger IDIOT than him is the IDIOT that votes for him. What a pathetic display of moronic judgment that this guy is still in politics.

First of all, this post had nothing to do with black men being gay, so the relationship was a little far fetched. Secondly, dont speak about what you dont know about. I am an openly gay man that has just recently come out. The relationship to black gay men being sissies and being slaves...whoa! I don't quite get that one. Homosexuality in our community is not discussed. I will be the first to admit that this is a huge part of why you don't see us out there. But until a more positive light is shed on homosexuality, you probably won't. Most black parents are old school and believe in the teachings of the Bible that have been handed down to them. In some instances, I am the same way to some extent. I was always taught that marriage is between on man and one woman. But, for me, it is merely an issue of terminology, and I think that is the issue for a lot of people. They want to protect their word. In summary, change the perception, change the numberof participants.

Berry is a good example of those who think (straight) marriage is sanctified. I think he should be made the poster boy for all the organizations that oppose same-sex marriage.

I think history has shown that Marion Berry is and has been, for a very long time, "ethically challenged". Or, as another commentor put it, "Marin Berry is a vote monger."

LOL I remember Marion Berry when he would make appearances at a local DC bar called The Pier (gay owned - everyone welcome). He and his wife Effie would be partying and begging the LGBT community for vote for them. Now, with his religious background he's swung the other way to get black votes in DC. He's a vote monger who's been kept in office by playing into race politics and religion in DC. SAD!
