D.C. Delegate to Barry: Tone Down the Racial Rhetoric

WASHINGTON - Some say he put his foot in his mouth again. Now, a D.C. leader and a community group are asking Marion Barry to stop the divisive rhetoric and apologize.

District Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton has a message for D.C. Councilman Marion Barry: Leave the racial rhetoric behind.

Norton is calling on the Ward 8 official to stop targeting racial groups when talking about issues.

She says Barry should apologize to the Filipino nurses in particular, "who do not deserve to be insulted for helping fill an indispensable health care need in a profession that we in this country have neglected," according to a news release.

well if the residents of DC got an education and had the motivation to work, there wouldn't be as many opportunities for the other cultures to come there and do the jobs!
