A Job Opening… If You Dare Communications Director for Marion Barry. http://news.yahoo.com/job-opening-dare-192222047--abc-news-politics.html
I'm not moving back to DC, but this seems to me an ideal opportunity for a DC United fan to infiltrate the DC city council. DO IT FOR THE STADIUM!
I would need a guarantee that Barry would be the only DC Mayor for my entire lifetime...this is a career killer.
I feel sorry for the poor person who takes this job. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politic...ays-dirty-asian-shops-comment-was-not-racial/ This was less than a month ago.
I think he made another alleged comment more specifically about Filipinos since then even. I have not cared enough to look in detail at the context, just seen it on the local news sound-bytes, but that kind of comment can easily be made without it being racist - just poorly descriptive. It can also easily have been racist in nature. Old black men say the racist-iest things sometimes (ooops, is that racist to say? )
The one about Filipino nurses. Those are lumped in together since he is on such a roll recently..... And he didn't help himself when he was asked to further clarify himself.
