Detroit City Council allows audience to tell white citizens to “go home” and leave council meeting.

The Democrats are busy showing their usual tolerance toward others. Full story from the Detroit Daily News here. Some highlights listed below:

Pictured above is Council President Monica Conyers. Wife of Rep. John Conyers (D) of Michigan.

Nowhere is Michigan’s brain drain on greater display than in the Detroit City Council chambers.
My hopes for Detroit’s future faded as I watched the tape of last Tuesday’s council meeting, the one that considered the Cobo Center expansion deal.
It was a tragic circus, a festival of ignorance that confirmed the No. 1 obstacle to Detroit’s progress is the bargain basement leaders that city voters elect.

The black nationalism that is now the dominant ideology of the council was on proud display, both at the table and in the audience.
Speakers advocating for the deal were taunted by the crowd and cut short by Council President Monica Conyers, who presided over the hearing like an angry bulldog; whites were advised by the citizens to, “Go home.”

Opponents were allowed to rant and ramble on uninterrupted about “those people” who want to steal Detroit’s assets and profit from the city’s labors.
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 yousay 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.

Almost seems that race relations in some portions of the country

have been pushed way beyond repair by the race powerbrokers/elites/hucksters (whatever you want to call them) that are currently in local and regional power. Sure seems almost like the late ’60s again… deja vu all over again, as they say… and propagated by nearly the same people doing rabble-rousing back then. Brings back memories of reading late ’60s Mad Magazines when I was a kid… Glad I don’t live there…

Agree. I thought that Obama was going to be

the great unifier – after that “evil George Bush” was so divisive. I have not seen race relations as strained as they are today – all over the country – since the 1960s. Hope and change to the past? The Saul Alinsky proponents are in charge, and they will do anything they can to promote their radical agenda.

No!!!11!1!!1!1! The Bilderbergers are coming

"Local and regional power"?

Did you not hear our AG? Unless we’re willing to sit and be hollered at by the likes of Ms Conyers we are “cowards.” This is the type of “race relations” that the Obama Administration wants. Look forward to more of the same, nationwide.

I wonder If this means we have to sit at the back of the bus........

……..or do we just get tossed under it multiple times (literally) ?

It’s all purposeful……… In this instance, it’s like they’re TRYING to start a race war.

The metaphor awaits………..

How many times will the audience poke the lion before the lion strikes back ?

Thing is, the audience wants the lion to strike back so the lion tamer can take control over everything.

Cheers !

The wheels on the bus go "thump, thump, thump"!

…to quote someone wise

I honestly think these race baiters WANT the crap to hit the fan, so when things really start to go down, they can roll up on lawmakers and say, “SEE! We SAID THEY WERE RACIST!!!! NOW WE DEMAND OUR RIGHTS!!!”

It sounds like such a rotten thing to say, but…well, I’ve been called worse than “rotten”. Plus, I think I’m right.

And this Conyers woman is one of the dumbest in public office period.

Government cannot be the solution when government is the problem.

I guess Conyers hasn't read much Dr. King , but lots of Jer. Wright....nt

You nailed it

It’s like Jeramiah Wright was running the meeting.

Do these people know they are jumping

in the toilet and then flushing themselves down the drain?

Most of the inner cities are going this way.

The unions have run all the jobs out of these towns

and now the blacks are telling the whites to leave?

FIne you made you bed now go to sleep and leave us alone.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

One farmer was blessed with a cow, which provided his family a bounty of milk to drink. The other farmer and family had but a well to drink from.

One day, the good fortune struck the farmer without the cow in the form of a genie lamp. The farmer found the lamp, rubbed it a few times, and alas, a genie appeared.

The genie thanked the lucky farmer for enabling his release from the lamp, and granted the man one wish.

With a universe of opportunity to choose from, the farmer settled on his choice, and informed the genie of his greatest desire:

“I want my neighbor’s cow to die.”

It's already set up like that

I think employers have helped set the stage for a race war. I’ve seen it over and over again. They will hire black person for a supervisor/management position over a white person that is better qualified. When that person performs poorly, they are “moved” instead of fired.

You can't lay the blame solely on the employers

Keep in mind that the law makes it so that if they Don’t hire the minority applicant, they get sued, fined and, on occasion, imprisoned.

The blame lies with the governments involved and with the voters who allowed it to happen.

I didn't know they could be sued. TY for explaining. :) nt

This happens when you demonize others

MUTNODJMET (Diary) Thursday, March 5th at 2:07PM EST (link)

That this time of blatant racism is touted, and apparently not punished, is shameful. I think this is the direct result of economically responsible citizens of all races being demonized. Perhaps that is why homes in Detroit are going for $7500.

There was a debate a few years back about building a new water treatment facility for Wayne County (where Detroit is) in one of the suburbs around Detroit… the main argument against the location was that people within Detroit were convinced that the white people in the suburbs would use the location of the plant to shut off water supply to the city of Detroit.

I don’t remember the ultimate outcome of that vote (I live on the opposite side of the state), but I think the new facility was rejected…

The Detroit Council.. too stupid to even share-the-debt...

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Thursday, March 5th at 5:56PM EST (link)

It is not even a Share-the-wealth issue…. the Cobo deal is about screwing over 3 counties residents to benefit Detroit…. AS USUAL…. yet it is still NOT one-sided enough for the fools…

Can you blame the council

robmikpet (Diary) Thursday, March 5th at 9:07PM EST (link)

If you have been brainwashed…I mean told your whole life that “whitey” has kept you down and then find yourself in power this is exactly how you would act.

Let us not forget former Labor Sec. Robert Reich who said his great fear was that the “stimulas” would go to “white” union workers.

How much more disfunctional can liberalism get. They are practically in charge of everything and they still attack and destroy. I agree with Rush IT IS A MENTAL DISORDER TO BE A LEFTIST!!

I can and do blame the Council

They were either stupid enough to take the race hustlers’ words at face value or they were too lazy to learn the truth of American history even with all the easy to access resources available.

Or both.
