Having cast the clay model and shipped it off to the foundry for a casting mold, the Washington, D.C. city council is set to approve a new statue honoring…Marion Barry.
According to WMAL:
Vince Gray, the councilmember for Ward 7 and former Mayor of DC, said he expects the council vote to be unanimous in favor of installing the statue. “It’s the right thing to do,” Gray said.
What a glorious reflection of heroism on our fair capital city. Coming at the time when statues and plaques of Robert E. Lee are being taken down, erecting a new statue to the crack-smoking, whore-mongering, tax-cheating mayor certainly is the embodiment of “progressives” and their values. Presumably, the plaque will memorialize Barry’s most famous quotable line: “B—- set me up!”

Frankly, it defies belief. Barry was the emblem of the crime-plagued shambles the capital city became as the Democratic mayor beginning in the late 1970s and extending through the 1990s. He started out as the first emblem of the civil rights movement to be elected to the city’s highest office and was given quite a pass for his failings as mayor because of it. The city turned into a one-party state, and from there, the blight followed. Barry himself was caught smoking crack cocaine with a woman not his wife, and when he was caught, he became forever famous for his candid-camera hollering: “B—- set me up!” Then he went to the can.
After that, he got elected mayor again, showing that no bad deed goes punished. The shambles continued, and now Barry is getting his own monument.
It shows that the crimes normal people stay away from like the plague, such as crack-smoking, don’t bother the left, nor do they merit any consequences.
It also shows that the left has a soft spot for its own history, and a civil rights past supersedes anything one has done in the afterward.
Couple it with the left’s zeal for destroying statues of Washington, Lincoln, and Robert E. Lee, and it shows that the left is ahistorical in orientation and is unable to appreciate any history it cannot remember itself. It also shows a contempt for real heroism, a desire to rewrite history in its own image, with only leftists as heroes, replacing real history with someone like Barry’s version of heroism.
Spare us. This is disgusting.
This has to be a story from The Onion. Merica hasn’t sunk that far, has it?
I wonder if there are any statues of Washington -the slave owner he was- that can be torn down to make room for it?
Let’s tear down the Washington monument to make room for a real hero a da peeps.
Will the statue include a crack pipe?
He shall have a crack pipe in one hand and will be making a pimp slapping gesture with his other hand.
It proves – we cater to dumb fucking niggers.
Joke? Right?
No surprise at all that blacks and progressives would glorify a whore-chasing, dope-smoking, lying, cheating, tax evading convict. I’m sure they’ll leave room on both sides for statues of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Must be a huge embarrassment for those decent, honest blacks that work hard, raise good families and are productive members of society.
73% of Blacks are born out of wedlock kinda contradicts the “honest blacks that work hard, raise good families”
I get your point and seriously considered it when typing, but still, there are some, though they are a minority of that minority. My point was that even decent black folks must be appalled at this.
At night it lights up.
But shitfuk niggers and their traitorous white libtard brethren will scream to remove the statue of an extremely honorable man, a man of unblemished integrity, a man of deep morals …… Robert E. Lee
There is NO HOPE of uniting Americans. I don’t really give a flying fuck either.

nice good man
I was hoping that this was an Onion special…..but no. It is the reality of DC….. I lived in Alexandria, VA for 15 years and DC always provided good comedy. This is disgusting…….
‘All you can do with stupidity is stand back and admire it’.
Black politicians represent their voters just like white politicians.
The inscription shall read DA BITCH SET ME UP
This is perfect. Marion Barry is the embodiment of destructive democrat programs that have decimated the black community in Washington. How ironic is it that they’ll tear down a statue of Robert E. Lee or George Washington and replace it with a lying, cheating, crack head who shackled most of the black folks in DC with welfare slavery.
Sad
well next one for OJ get the niggers gone
