The contagious people of Washington have stood firm against diversity

I promise you a police car on every sidewalk.

People blame me because these water mains break, but I ask you,
if the water mains didn't break, would it be my responsibility
to fix them then? WOULD IT!?!
Former Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry
What right does Congress have to go around making laws just because
they deem it necessary?
Former Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry
The laws in this city are clearly racist. All laws are racist.
The law of gravity is racist.

The brave men who died in Vietnam, more than 100% of which were
black, were the ultimate sacrifice.

I read a funny story about how the Republicans freed the slaves.
The Republicans are the ones who created slavery by law in the
1600's. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and he was not a Republican.

I am making this trip to Africa because Washington is an international
city, just like Tokyo, Nigeria or Israel. As mayor, I am an international
symbol. Can you deny that to Africa?
Former Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry
I am clearly more popular than Reagan. I am in my third term.
Where's Reagan? Gone after two! Defeated by George Bush and Michael
Dukakis no less.
Former Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry
People have criticized me because my security detail is larger
than the president's. But you must ask yourself: are there more
people who want to kill me than who want to kill the president?
I can assure you there are.
Former Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry
I am a great mayor; I am an upstanding Christian man; I am an
intelligent man; I am a deeply educated man; I am a humble man.
Former Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry
First, it was not a strip bar, it was an erotic club. And second,
what can I say? I'm a night owl.
Former Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry
Bitch set me up!
