America’s Mayors Should Take Marion Barry as a Model. Seriously.

The former D.C. mayor’s pioneering efforts to provide jobs, affordable housing, and food security deserve to be remembered long after the jokes about his drug use have grown stale.

Only those in the District will appreciate that sentiment. Everyone else just wants to believe he was a crackhead.

I watched the documentary about him and how he changed things for blacks in D.C and was loved no matter his blunders.

He was really for the people,made sure more blacks were hired than anyone in officer before him.

RIP to Marion Barry

Yet folks are salivating over jumping into the voting booth for a white felon who does nothing but enrich himself and his buddies. I have heard so many "Mayor Barry got me my first_________" stories that I don't pay attention to all the fuck shit. Even after his death the stories still are being told. We haven't had a decent mayor since.

Yeah-- I think the hand hiding is worse than the rock throwing in this case. They should own it.
