D.C. Councilmembers react to gay slur at Marion Barry memorial
A memorial event honoring Marion Barry on the front steps of the Wilson Building Monday afternoon took a bizarre turn when the rally’s host used a gay slur, according to Washington City Paper Loose Lips reporter Will Sommer.
Sommer reports that “rally emcee Al-Malik Farrakhan urged disadvantaged Washingtonians to develop a political agenda and stop behaving like ‘f*ggots’ and ‘females.’”
Farrakhan is the founder and executive director of the local anti-gang group Cease Fire Don't Smoke The Brothers and Sisters. The memorial event focused on the legacy of the late Ward 8 Councilmember and his work to help ex-offenders overcome stigma and find employment after incarceration.

Hilarious
ReplyDeleteBarry was well-known to be bigoted toward Asians, and white folks in general.
ReplyDeleteWhy are we memorializing this convicted druggie?!
ReplyDeleteThis sets the wrong example for kids growing up today!
Good riddance Barry.POS Only Washington would have a crackhead mayor, and re-elect him.
