NEWS ROUNDUP: KILPATRICK UPDATE / MONTREAL RIOT / RACIST REMARK BY MAYOR CAUGHT ON TAPE

Tuesday, August 12, 2008

Kwame Kilpatrick drawing by Scurv

Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick just can’t catch a break.

After spending a little time in jail last week, Kilpatrick spent a little time with his family over the weekend. Unfortunately his sister was there, and prosecutors claim Kilpatrick has violated his bond terms yet again.

The mayor had been ordered to have no contact with witnesses. Ayanna Kilpatrick is one of eleven witnesses to the alleged assault of a sheriff’s deputy listed by authorities. A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday before the same judge who sent Kilpatrick to jail Thursday for violating bond conditions.

MONTREAL RIOT

Following the shooting death of 18-year-old Freddy Villanueva by police over the weekend, order has been restored in a predominantly Haitian North Montreal neighborhood where tensions between young people and police run high, according to residents.

According to one youth, “The police are always creeping around here, hassling people.”

RACIST REMARK BY MAYOR CAUGHT ON TAPE

Citizens in a small Oklahoman town are distancing themselves from their mayor and some are even calling for her resignation.

In an audio recording of a July council meeting, Oakland, Oklahoma mayor Margarette Redwine suggested that one way to deal with problems involving chickens was to use a nigger shooter, better known as a slingshot.

When asked if she was racist, Redwine replied, “No, I am not. No, I am not. I have several black people married into my family and I am not.”

All this after the NAACP buried the word just last year.

I agree #1.
“I have several black people married into my family” doesn’t make someone think you’re any less ignorant or any less racist. You had no control over who your relatives married & I can bet..if she had it her way, she’d have them hanging somewhere. People like her give white people a bad name.

I hope everything turns out okay in Montreal. To that one kid though. police are always riding around urban areas. It’s the way the cookie crumbles.

Kwame…… …….

Damn Kilpatrick, get sent to jail the first time would have had me on my P’s and Q’s.

And to the mayor, having black friends and/or relatives when you yourself is not black does not give you a get out of jail free card to say racist ish and get away with it. Geezus…

OMG r u serious??? She said she got black ppl married into her family…so what? that dont mean that you like them!!!
Kwame is another story honestly..He needs to feel ashamed right now. Disgrace.
And I feel those in Montreal because the ‘police on blacks’ thing needs to stop immediately! At least they’re speaking up =)

What does the fact that poeple in her family marrying blacks have anything to do with her personal feelings? Thats what they choose to do not her…folks are a trip. If she didn’t think in her mind we are N’s, then she wouldn’t of said what she said. She just got caught & now is trying to clean up what she said by saying she has Black in-laws. Thats what Jessie Jackson & Yung Berg did when they spoke their true inner feelings outloud. Folks are a trip.

As far as the mayor in Detroit, God is trying to tell u something…u need to listen.

She sounds even more racist and ignorant after saying that she had black people married into her family. Really?

The fact that she can use that word like its nornal makes you think what she says behind closed doors.

I like Kwame, he is going about doing some things wrong, but he has done a lot for the city of Detroit. His behind the scenes stuff which really has nothing to do with revitalizing the city is what many politicians do they are just a little more discreet with theirs. I think he is gangsta, but he better slow his roll because they on him hard.

While I know intellectually that not all white people are racist, I believe that the majority are. Most whites at least have the common sense to keep their racism at home. However, eventually it comes out. Remarks like this do not surprise me. I almost expect it. I think she should lose her job for being an idiot. She should at least have the intelligence to know her audience and know that as a person in a position of power remarks like that won’t be tolerated.

Kilpatrick: Meh

Whoa, I live in the T-Dot and I didn’t even hear about the MTL riot. Just goes to show racism is universally alive and well.

And that mayor needs to call it quits ’cause her little weak excuse that blacks have married into her family is just making look more like a buffoon.

What’s astonishing to me is that Kwame Kilpatrick is still the mayor of Detroit.

The mayor of Oakland, Oklahoma should resign. She’s to ignorant to be a mayor.

The mayor of that small Oklahoma town needs to be fired!!! She had the nerve to say that because she has relatives that are black she can get away with ignorant s**t. B**ch Please!!!

I didn’t know Canada had race riots, I thought they were our near perfect neighbor to the North. RIP Freddy Villanueva. The police ALL AROUND the world need to get it together.

No comment on Kwame Kilpatrick……just a TOTAL MESS…..I know the city of Detroit is ashamed to have elected this fool!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Vee, I take it you’re from the city of Detroit… Everything we’ve seen and are seeing in the city are the works of Maryor Archer… It takes at least 4-6 years for everything that was done in previous adminstration to come to life. I can credit Kwame with bringing Rock Finacial to the city, and also with allowing 5/3 Bank to come to the city, oh’ and a condition of them bringing thier business to the city was to give Christine Betty a 250,000 loan… Guess you dont know anything about the city leasing all those personal vehicles for his crew… and all the property that has been transferred form the city to his, his wife, and his mama’ s name…….

@ Marley…. You said…

I hate it when someone says something not trying to be racist but is always asked are u racist.

Either you miswrote your comment, are trying to be funny, or you have no comprehension skills whatsoever. If a white person said to use a “nigger shooter” that isn’t racist? If you believe that old cracker ass bitch ain’t racist then I got a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you, because you are one dumb ass.

What if someone had said “use a Jew killer” referring to poisonous gas would that person be termed anti-Semitic?

I am from Montreal and it saddens me to see that it has to come to this.

Our officers our trigger happy when it comes to minorities. It’s a shame, before the summer even started there were two major deaths cause my shootings within the same week. Involving two young men who lost their lives either immediately or a few days later and nothing has been done. Why? Because Montreal youth, including myself refuse to speak to the police. The majority are ignorant. Living in Montreal isn’t easy not only your ethnic background can be held against you but the language you choose to speak as well.

I pray for the family of Freddy… just as I have prayed for many others. Hopefully justice will be serve because police have no right to be shooting unarmed people, especially a young man who so much planned for his life.

Sorry about the spelling mistakes…

Here are the obvious corrections…

*are* trigger happy….

cause *by* shootings…

The majority are ignorant *(the police that is, they ask for help and then use it against)*…

Freddy *(the young man who lost his life)*…

who *had* so much planned for his life.

Can I just say to Kwame and everyone else reading, when your black you can’t do that. Real Talk.

As for the mayor, no surprise. People talk real dirty behind closed doors. White and blacks, And if you think they don’t just stick a microphone near.

These days it takes a lot *more to shock me.

& wat…is havn “black friends” the comment 2 fall back on whn wyt ppl get caught b’n their “true” selves.sayn black ppl married n2 ur family makes no sense & it def does not help the situation.actually it fuels the fire.4 u to thnk tht u can make tht comment & get out of wat u sed is pure STUPIDITY.& it further xposes ur IGNORANCE & RACIST mannerisms.
I agree w/ #3 when she says tht ppl lyk this lady giv whyts a bad name.whyts luk @ blacks krazi 4 not fully getn ova how whyts treatd them.but everytym an effort is made 2 get pass racism here come anthr whyt person takn off their mask n show’n how they really feel…more n more racsists r show’n themselves.

this is simply solitify’n tht racism still exist.I wud lyk to thnk tht all wyts r acceptn of blacks n othr minorities.but if the political leaders r racists…how many othr wyt citizens r racists? if our leaders r suppos’d 2 b examples…wat is there 2 luk up 2?

That’s crazy! I don’t understand why she couldn’t say SLINGSHOT instead of what she said. Then she have the audacity to be shocked when ppl call her racist. Dumb bitch. Anyway, I honestly don’t know what to say about the riot in Canada. All I can think of (wish really…) is peace coming before the worth ends. That would be really nice….

What the hell is she talking about. That’s a new phase for me. What is a N shooter? A slingshot - huh? And she doesn’t think that statement is racist - that might be one of the problems in USA - people don’t realize the extent of using such hurtful words. All nationalities have been called some harsh things and people who have any compassion - try not to use those words. She could’ve simply said sling shot - not those derogatory words. The sad thing is I have learned a NEW negative word that I had never heard before. So we must continue to learn about hateful things. She should of left that word in the past where it came from – DUMMY. What a racist piece of shyt she is.

I agree with majority of the responses. Why don’t we get as angry when our own people say the “n” word? “er” or “ga” does not dismiss the origin of the word.

White folks now days think its ok to say nigga, because they date a black and guy. All though what the mayor said is repulsive and down right racist, we as black ppl need to dispel the word from our everyday vocab and be vocal. That word should not be used, we’re no longer plantation slaves.

whats funny to me is the people that we elect( yea these mayor are elected) turn on us, then we turn a round and keep putting them is office. They have Mayor Kil ( as we like to call him in Texas) in court on things he did in his first term. That is wrong. They voted for him as they should live with him. From all account Mayor Kil has been the way he is from almost birth. Yet they rallied and voted for him so a white man would not win( I found that funny) Twice. But they aren’t the only one’s New Orleans, DC, and Atlanta all seem to go silly when it’s election time. SIDE NOTE> Anyone who says they didn’t know their son-in law is the big drug dealer everyone is looking for is a ly.

Now on OK. There are lots of black people in OK. More than most people know. Now this Margarette Redwine has been in the news before and people know her. But I say once again they voted for her.

On the shooting. notice how all these shooting happen in the middle of drug and gang infested neiborhoods. Now I am not saying that the police have the right to go out and shoot who ever or when ever, but at the same time they are there for a reason. I just want to know what the roit had to do with the death. I dont care how many TV’s you steal that young man is not coming back. Matter a fact I want to see this same kind of reaction when one gang member kills another or drug dealer sell drugs during the day in the open. People kill me. It’s a young man right in that very neigborhood hell in every neigborhood, shooting people for less then resisting arrest nobody on the news, internet asking for their head. Wow

First off, i will say that having a balck person married to your family doesn’t mean that you are not racist and if indeed there are, she is one fucking racist. and secondly, dating back to the View when whoopie and Sheri (whatever her name is) where fiercely defending the use of the N-word amongst black people and how it is fine for black people to use it and not for white people to use, ain’t this what u get???us using it means that the white person will use it and best believe, white kids do listen to hip hop. so for the record, SHAME on all the people who defend using this word. that word was never meant to be a term of endearment. its a word filled with hate, injustice and pain.

That mayor knows she is racist and probably calls the people married into her family the n-word to their faces. I wonder what she calls the biracial people in her family as well.

Kilpatrick needs to be locked up for a longtime.

Nicki

Wednesday, August 13, 2008 /

So the mayor’s (seemingly oblivious) language goes to show that in pretty much everyone’s perspective ; ni**er equates to that of black people. So further evidence that ni**er or ni**a is simply not just a word it does have negative connotation towards a specific race.

If it did not, the mayor would have explained that she had Asians, Native Americans, etc. included in her family and/or circle of friends.

I just would like to understand when did being a racist solely equate you to racism against black people? I mean its always the same thing…Im not a racist, I know black people. Can anyone answer that one?

I live in Canada and its funny but shameful how Canada plays down racism..we have a huge problem with racism and police brutality. My sister works as a child and youth worker and one of the Bi-polar clients she worked with a teen, has a breakdown and went to a local pharmacy store with a gun threatening to hurt himself or other ppl or he threatened to rob the store. The police were called in Toronto and and he was outside holding the gun and the cops shot him 8 times paralyzing him..what was the need to shoot a mentally ill youth 8 times almost killing him I mean he did drop the gun after like the first shot and they purposely shot him in his spine. Cops actually challenge guys to fight with them in allies take off their badges and everything. Gang violence is really bad here for the youth in impoverished neighborhoods. There are around 200 shootings within months. Canda needs to take a note from the U.S and help their own ppl..we are loosing in the olympics because we suck and sports and arts are extremely under funded here same with our highschools in urban neighborhoods which is why over 50% of black youth in Canada drop out of highschool.
