Racism Rears Its Ugly Head In Detroit

Via Gateway Pundit:

The blacks in the audience at a recent Detroit city council meeting were told to "go home."
They were not wanted.

Here's the latest from the cesspool once known as Detroit.

Detroit News reported:

Nowhere is Michigan's brain drain on greater display than in the Detroit City Council chambers.

My hopes for Detroit's future faded as I watched the tape of last Tuesday's council meeting, the one that considered the Cobo Center expansion deal.

It was a tragic circus, a festival of ignorance that confirmed the No. 1 obstacle to Detroit's progress is the bargain basement leaders that city voters elect. The [racism] that is now the dominant ideology of the council was on proud display, both at the table and in the audience.

Speakers advocating for the deal were taunted by the crowd and cut short by Council President Monica Conyers, who presided over the hearing like an angry bulldog; blacks were advised by the citizens to, "Go home."

Opponents were allowed to rant and ramble on uninterrupted about "those people" who want to steal Detroit's assets and profit from the city's labors.

A pitiful Teamster official who practically crawled to the table on his knees expressing profuse respect for this disrespectful body was battered by both the crowd and the council.

When he dared suggest that an improved Cobo Center would create more good-paying jobs for union workers, Conyers reminded him, "Those workers look like you; they don't look like me."

Desperate, he invoked President Barack Obama's message of unity and was angrily warned, "Don't you say his name here."

Do you see how horrible this is?  And here I thought we were in the Era of Obama, where racism was supposed to evaporate, but even his good name apparently can't win the day here.  I mean, seriously, how is this behavior excusable by any stretch of the imagination?  Where is Al Sharpton with his bullhorn?  Where is Jesse Jackson and his hordes of angry rioters?  How can they let racial insults of this magnitude stand unmolest...oh, wait, hang on a sec...

Oops, I guess I got a few things switched around.  It was actually the whites that were berated by the city council and told to 'go home', not the blacks.  The council is apparently dominated by angry bulldog-like blacks, not whites.  I seem to have gotten everything exactly opposite.  Huh.

In that case, never mind, 'cause we all know it's only racism if it's done against blacks.

There's my two cents.
