Marion Barry complains of Asian-owned 'dirty' shops after winning DC primary

July 9, 2011: DC Councilman and former Washington Mayor Marion Barry speaks during a Ward 8 Community Summit in Washington, as Mayor Vincent Gray looks on.

Former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry is once again attracting the wrong kind of attention, after he used his election-night victory speech to decry Asian-owned stores.

"We've got to do something about these Asians coming in, opening up businesses -- those dirty shops," Barry said Tuesday night, after winning the Democratic primary for the city's Ward 8 seat and effectively securing a third council term.

Barry went on to say: "They ought to go. I'll just say that right now, you know. But we need African-American businesspeople to be able to take their places, too."

Barry, a mainstay of D.C. politics who has held positions of power in the District since the 1970s, has drifted in and out of controversy since returning to public office following his 1990 drug arrest.

After returning to serve a fourth term as mayor, he was elected to the Ward 8 seat in 2004. He has repeatedly run into drug and tax problems during his latest tenure in office.

...coming from the mayor that was convicted and sent to prison on crack cocaine charges- that were videotaped- then re-elected when he was served out. That tells you right there what kind of people live in that city.

They were just electing one of there own. Maybe they figured they cod get free drugs out of it. I mean if the mayor is doing it why can't the people right? But to the racist comments, like you all said he isn't white so he can't be racist. That is reserved for whites and whites only.....ohhhh was that racist of me?

I know all of those years I worked in the west end, the 'African-Americans' openly hated the Asians that owned shops and restaurants. They had no problem spewing Asian racist slang at all.
