      Try again. Come back when you have your facts straight and stop trying to induce your lies on to everyone to satisfy you selfish desires to make certain parties look bad because you are bitter against them.

    To a previous comment...correction please!!!!! you state 'where there's a scandal, there is a republican denying responsiblility" Wake up Mister..Get your facts straight....Kwame Kilpatrick is a DEMOCRAT, following the trademarks of true Democratic family values that the Spitzer and Clinton families are familiar with. I am a proud REPUBLICAN, and I approve this comment.

    I did not know all of the details until now. I was almost believing the presentations of the Major, being in a state of "what if" however; the texts does not lie and are really bold. What happens if he leaves? The business deals and upgrades? Who will take over and will they do a better job. it is a said situation. I have only heard bad gossip about his reputation before hand with the Money spending and such. Its not looking good.

    Once again, one of our so called brothers can't get the pimp'n out of him...You can take the pimp out the hood, but you can't take the player out the major...How do you drive down your city streets that needs so much help on your way to a hotel to sleep with some women who is not your wife...And than bring bring God into your mess. You asked the people for forgiveness and your wife, you better repent and ask God to for give you...

    It amazes me when liberal media goes after Republicans with such zeal over trysts be it man or woman, attempts are made to hush up democrat lust, no wonder lib media can't compete anymore, the revenue dollars, readers and viewers it's losing, while blaming other media sources for it's own troubles. You expect republicans to be held accountable to rule of law. it's high time you folks abide by the same rules and not hypocritical about it.

    DETROITERS: Wear a GREEN RIBBON if you want the MURDER of Tamara GREENe investigated. She was the dancer at the Mayor's Mansion that got murdered just hours after her name was inluded in a police memo.

    • Posted By: niyah313 @ 02/27/2008 3:15:02 AM

      yes i would like her killer to get caught because i know of some females that knew her and they knew that she was at that mansion. he is nothing but a big *** and his wife does not care cause she is in it for the money and she has no regards for that girls life that is nothing to her, she looks like she has no heart i hpe they get kicked out in the streets.

    OK... um, THE RAVEN, white people aren't the only racists. Your message made that very clear. Your comments are on the same level of audacity and rudeness as spider1's - did you ever think that "whiteys" could be offended by racial slurs and prejudices, too? Last time I checked, this article was about a potentially corrupt/morally bankrupt mayor of Detroit who lied under oath. His race has nothing to do with his capability; there have been great black lawmakers and politicians.

    LOL... great article.. reminds me of the time i clicked a link on this website

    and the bums eyes started spinning pretty hilarious.... I think it was Autogiver.com

    It is truly a shame that blacks tend to circle the wagons when one of their own gets into hot water, many of these so-called leaders are an embarrasment to decent people, we have this so-called 'Hip-Hop' mayor catering to ignorant black folks who have a complete contempt for anyone in white society. This is pretty much like African politics, (dancers being murdered, police officers afraid for their lives?). Too bad many blacks cater to this kind of madness, you ignore real, decent leaders or spokesmen (i.e., Obama, Shelby Steele, Walter E. Williams), and you run to the complete and uter corrupt hipocrites (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton); you defend criminals like Michael Vick, or the Jena 6 but call decent blacks who stand up to this kind of garbage as 'sell-outs.' Unlike Europeans, Hispanics, Asians, Middle-Easterners, blacks don't have much of a culture, you create your own holidays (Kwanzaa), you complain about not being part of America yet you deliberately walk away from anything that is American, you go by African-Americans but most of you know nothing about Africa or were you came from; you'll pick up a book with words like "Bling", "Pimp," but you'll ignore great writers like W.E.B. DuBois, Frederick Douglas; you talk about 'culture' but you will cater to movies like "Friday," "Booty-Call," but ignore your own history in the theatres, many black men have died for this country since the Revolutionary War, yet less than a dozen movies have been made about them, yet you don't care. Black men, women, and children are murdered daily and all you can say is "Don't Snitch". In the end no matter how much you like to be called African-American, change your name to Kwami, Muhammed, Kareem, you are part of America, go to Africa and I can guarantee you, you'll be back in a week, because none of that so-called "African history/culture" is about you.

      I agree completely. fingers are pointed at everyone but themselves. The day will come when poeple just stop caring. African Americans think they have problems now, any mexican american would like to have their say in our political system, and they don't mind earning it.

        spider1--I couldn't stop laughing at your stupid, ignorant comments. You know soooo much about black people it's scarry. How stupid are you? Gone are the days when whitey choose who our leaders are. And the writers that you praised loathed white t**sh like you. No black culture? Jazz, Blues, Rock, Spirituals all are parts of black culture. We have produced some of the greatest writers, artists, and actors in the world--inspite of your racist race. White politicians and and politics are the most corrupt in the world. Bush has us in a war over oil--that his family is profitting from. White politicians buying wh**es and men in airport toilets, and being bought by big business. Kwanzaa? A made-up holiday? Every holiday in every culture is made up--you DOLT!. You people admire your serial killers, mass murderers, and spree killers. John W. Gacy, Ted Bundy, Dahmer--the list is too long. Your white priests molest boys for centuries and you cover it up. You rape your daughters and pass them to your sons. You are the most hated, filthy race on the planet.. You have committed genocide and spread diseases whereever you've been You know you are a genetic mistake? A flaw in human evolution that will one day--thank GOD--cease to exsit. A patheitc
        murdering, molesting, Godless filth of wasted pale skin

      Well said.

    Speaking of disgraceful Detroit politicians...wasn't it Detroit Councilwoman Monica Conyers (Yep, that's Congressman John Conyer's wife!!) who beat up a woman in a bar fight 2 years ago?????

  • Posted By: sjbrock80 @ 01/28/2008 3:20:39 PM

    At least Detroit is only in the national news for some lies and an affair.

    Usually it's about rape and murder.

    It's a step up for Motown. By the way, Go Wings!

    • Posted By: MItaxpayer @ 01/28/2008 4:01:25 PM

      Please somebody call in the Feds! We really need help here in Detroit! The nation has turned a blind eye to the corruption that has controlled our state too long! Help us! The local media has already begun the process of covering this all up. Our city is in worse condition that New Orleans ever was! Somebody help, please!

    Watching live on MANOOGIAN WEBCAM.. (WXYZ Detroit)

    There was more to it when I saw it live and when the lawyer, Bill Mitchell (Coleman Young's old lawyer) came out of the Mansion...did he LOOK LIKE HE JUST SAW A GHOST or what!?


    I wonder if the convo went like this::




    Lawyer: Okay, Kwame, I'm here for you, but I need you to let me know the TRUTH so I can defend you. Did you kill that dancer?

    Mayor KK: Wellllllll. It's not like I actually pulled th...

    Lawyer: STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I MEAN, did you give an order to have her killed?

    Mayor KK: What do you mean by "order"?

    Laywer: Come on man!!!!!!!!!! I'm trying to help you!!!!!!!!!! Come clean with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Mayor KK: Okay. Yeah, I did. What's the big deal? I couldn;t have her talking! I did what needed to be done! I made IT HAPPEN! Hell, yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

    Lawyer: Okay, Okay. Is there anything else I need to know?

    Mayor KK: Well, then there was the OTHER stripper that tried to run away to Atlanta. Took care of her too.

    Lawyer: Oh...oh...Jesu...

    Mayor KK: What!? Mannn... they were just Whores, man. Talkin' bout tryin' to feed their kids...I don't wanna hear that shi...

    Lawyer: Kwame, this is SERIOUS! You could go to prison for life!!

    Mayor KK: Ha! Ha! Haaaaaaaaa!!! Awwww, man be REAL!! This is the D!! Who gonna convict Kwame! My mother is a congresswoman!! Remember at my rally when my moms said "Kwame's ya'all's BOOOY, people DIED for him to be here!..." Well, she REALLY meant PEOPLE DIED FOR ME 2 B HER!!! HAAAA ha haaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Lawyer: Mr Mayor, please. Is...is...is there anything ELSE I should know...

    Mayor KK: Well, to be real honest (as opposed to just "regular honest") those dead strippers ain't much of anything. This other stuff is what REALLY worries me... Me and Mike Cox were..."

    Lawyer: Um, Oh, Geez, look at the time! I'm sorry man, I just remembered, I've got to pick up my wife from the airport...beauty salaon...uh, I mean...airport! Um, nice talking to you Mr. Mayor. I'll...I'll be in touch REAL soon! Buh-bye!
