I have a Fraternity Brother who, until very recently, lived within Detroit’s City Limits. When he got married a few years ago, he then moved to one of the suburbs. Good thing she came along to get him outa there, because apparently, the Demo☭rat-dominated City Council, led by Monica Conyers (the wife of John Conyers. Imagine that.), doesn’t want any input from residents who just…happen to be white:
A pitiful Teamster official who practically crawled to the table on his knees expressing profuse respect for this disrespectful body was battered by both the crowd and the council.
When he dared suggest that an improved Cobo Center would create more good-paying jobs for union workers, Conyers reminded him, “Those workers look like you; they don’t look like me.”
Desperate, he invoked President Barack Obama’s message of unity and was angrily warned, “Don’t you say his name here.”
Juxtapose the place and the faces and imagine a white Livonia City Council treating a black union representative with such overt racial hostility. The Justice Department would swoop down like a hawk, and the Rev. Al Sharpton would clog Five Mile Road with protesters.
Without a doubt, one of the most egregious actions taken by the newest recipient of the Race Card.
