Ward 8 D.C. Councilman Marion Barry said Thursday that he was nottrying to insult the city's Asian community during remarks at a campaign
event this week.
We got to do something about these Asians coming in and opening up
businesses and dirty shops, Barry said in remarks on Tuesday night first
reported by WRC-TV. They ought to go. Im going to say that right now.
But we need African-American businesspeople to be able to take their
places, too.
"I'm not ever going to condemn a group of people," Barry told reporters
gathered in his Wilson Building office Thursday. "My history is complete.

It's an excellent history with the Asian community."
Barry said his criticisms of Asian businesses in his Southeast
Washington ward were rooted in what he perceives as disengagement in
the community by those companies.
"I'm not going to allow a group of people to exploit people in Ward 8,"
Barry said.
He said he wants Asian businesses to operate in the area but he wants
them to "come right."
Susan Au Allen, the president of the U.S. Pan Asian American Chamber of
Commerce, said Barry s comments concerned her.
Its regrettably inappropriate. Im hoping he misspoke, Allen said in an
interview with The Washington Examiner. We should be keeping our
focus on how to make life better for everybody.
Allen, who was a member of the citys Minority Business Opportunity
Commission while Barry was mayor, said Asians had sensed opportunity
in Ward 8 when they chose to open their businesses.
The Asian businesses are there because they see a place where theres
a need. They went in there to meet the demand, Allen said. Theyre
there to serve the needs of the residents.
Roger Campos, the president and CEO of the Washington-based Minority
Business Roundtable, said Barrys comments were disrespectful to
minorities beyond the citys Asian-American community.
That is totally insensitive. Its kind of interesting because Asians and
Hispanics are fueling the economy in business growth, and we ought to be
inclusive of all minority groups, not just one, Campos said. Hes got one
insensitive focus, and thats on African-Americans solely and no other
groups.
Barry didnt exactly have his fellow D.C. Council members lining up to
support him.
I strongly disagree with the recent remarks made about Asian American
business owners in the District, council Chairman Kwame Brown said in
news release. Statements like that are divisive, destructive, and have
absolutely no place in our city.
Ward 6 Councilman Tommy Wells took to Twitter to react.

My colleagues remarks about Asian businesses last night were
deplorable, Wells posted. We are a great city, and we are a diverse
city.
Barry, meanwhile, blamed journalists for taking his remarks out of context.
"The media ought to apologize," Barry said. "I want an apology from you."

Barry responds to 'Asian'comments
The D.C. councilman took to Twitter on Thursday to
respond to criticism over his comments on the city's
Asian community.
Marion S. Barry, Jr.5 hours ago
We are tired of sub-standard treatment, tired of being kept
an arms length distance, tired of the lack of community
engagement.
Marion S. Barry, Jr.5 hours ago
I admit, I could and should have said it differently. But the
facts are still very present in our daily lives here.
Marion S. Barry, Jr.5 hours ago
the comment was meant to convey that some stores need
better service to and engagement with the community than
what is provided now.

I'm very sorry for offending the Asian American
community. Although taken out of context by many about

THANK YOU, Moving. What you said cannot be

of The Federalist Papers).

There isn't another document in history
as important or with as much value as
the Constitution of the United States of
America. Anyone that believes it needs
replaced is a traitor to this country and
should be treated as such. I wouldn't
support your second constitution
movement unless I was against the first
consti tution which i will never be. Any
citizen that doesn't preserve and protect
the US constitution is a traitor. period

I was in Los Angeles when the black community rioted
and the Korean community was on roofs with Uzis. The
Asians can take care of themselves what this shows is
how arrogant the blacks have gotten. More power to
Asian ambition. They work for a living and have more
face than to take welfare from the government.

Overwhelmingly, it is black on black crime that takes it's
toll. The roots are too close to the past tribal mentality
to pull together (except with some gov't supplicant at the
helm) and actually do something. Mo money, mo money,
mo money has resulted in little real progress, except for
those who fled to government/public jobs. Those that
have escaped those bonds want little to do with
returning to their prior circumstances, even to help,
because they know that it is a near impossible job,
given the restrictions that exist.
