Controversial City charter member Joanna Underwood went on a bizarre racist Facebook rant last week about Middle Eastern businesses owners in Detroit after LeMar Lemmons controversial remarks.

A racist fighting racism with racism. Good move miss...
PS - Her grammar could use a little work too
At least she’s right about the MS media being racist. They’re anti white.
A little????Quote:

This is what governs Detroit. Illiterate people who have a definite agenda. Blatant racism...oh, I forgot...only whites can be racist!
She needs to go back to school to learn proper English, if they still teach it in Detroit schools.
Talk about crazy. She needs to be removed.
What's up everyone. I really ain't new here, but it been a VERY, VERY, VERY long time since I posted on DetroitYes. First off, thanks shawring for posting up information about Joanna Underwood. You Ain't The Only One Knows About Her ignorants she be posting up on her facebook page. I TOO got into with her when Duggan was running for a 2nd term as mayor and I had to put her in her place when she attacking me in the comments because I had different opinions, till this day I've been keeping up on her so-called comments she's been posting up.As a black person,when she don't like what you say around her, she will call you a "coon" or "sellout". She also called WXYZ Channel 7 News and Local 4 ClickOnDetroit, "racist" because they did a story of the fights that was going on at the detroit charter commission that happen months ago.

I'm not in agreement with everything she says. As a Detroiter, there are some true things that she says.
There aren't many corner stores, let alone gas stations that are owned by the majority population of Detroit. No surprise there, since much of Detroit is owned by those that don't live in the city at all.
Ever since Mike Duggan got elected, there has been plenty of improvement. But we got a long way to go, and the rest of the city of Detroit needs to be improved too, not just Midtown and Downtown.
Today, I've seen more empty lots than I've seen improvements in the neighborhoods. Let's put it this way, it isn't right to blame an entire type of population for the city's problems. It doesn't seem to make sense to promote a "black, white, whatever" business based on ethnicity alone.
You promote the business that provides what you want. If they don't have what you want, you don't promote it anymore. So if the corner stores treat you wrong, don't go to that business anymore, and tell others not to go, based on a review of your experiences, not on the basis of their culture.
I know Joanna Underwood, she's an activist. She will defend her beliefs, regardless of any opposition.
This city can't just discard the ones that stayed through the good and bad times and just make it look good for new people coming in.
Duggan's slogan of "One Detroit", must be put to action. Words just aren't enough anymore.
As for Joanna Underwood, racial nationalism of any kind, won't work here. And that's what i'm going to say about that.
]I find it funny how we had elected officials in Oakland, Macomb, Western Wayne counties who said similar about "Detroit" and had been doing for years, as well as had officials in Lansing who's policies have negatively affected "Detroit" years but these same "longtime lurkers I've never seen a peep from.
Its funny I didnt see all these "long time lurkers" chiming in then. Lowell you sure this site didnt get infected with Trumpbots like Facebook did?
What's even funnier is none of the aforementioned are elected officials on the Detroit City Council, so why bother to bring that up?Quote:

Its not that we don't have people who feel this way or who sometimes spout off........but it gets major media attention when it happens, and usually results in a resignation and/or action against the responsible party.
If I agree w/your view of the inappropriateness of the comments in this case, which I do; I disagree w/your easy dismissal of anyone else making similar comments.Quote:

Yes, there needs to be consistency, yes hypocrisy is terrible, but all completely overt racists and sexists and homophobes need to be driven from public office, elected or otherwise, and from any other position of power in society.

I had listened to her comments on a certain radio station. She can’t pronounce “poverty”. She say “proverty”. I don’t take a person serious when she refuses to correct her pronunciations nor I take serious that clown host who doesn’t bother to correct her.
You're talking about 910am Superstation,Riddle@Random segment with Sam Riddle. I heard about ten minutes of her comments,pretending she's an angel, playing the innocent card. She KNEW what she got herself into when she posted it on her facebook page. Make things very sad that the people who's close to her is gonna defend her, especially Sam Riddle who was convicted of bribery along with Monica Conyers and sentenced to 37 months in prison during the Kilpatrick era.Quote:

^^^ Sshhh.... you were suppose to keep all of that on the 'down low'...:rolleyes:...
Underwood's bigotry should be rejected like any other.
We must hold our officials to higher standards.
How did it come there is so much rot in government, from bottom to top?
Her rhetoric takes me back to the old days.
People got a problem with not being politically correct.

I'll wait till Charlie LeDuff and the No Bullshit News Hour crew do a podcast so's I can get the real poop.

I was looking at some of the Facebook posts that I've been getting. This thread is getting very popular now. Which means now that the link is out on Facebook for this post, it is going to be giving Joanna Underwood a lot of public attention.
I hope that there is some middle ground that can be found out of this. So metro Detroit can move forward. Because this should be of change. And for all things, we need a lot of it.
The middle ground is getting this woman the fuck out of office. Fuck her..Quote:

Maybe she will use the attention to run for city council,lol. Sam Riddle can be her campaign manager. He could use it to steal some money and just blame her as a stooge.Quote:

Not even a face a mother could love either lol, uneducated hungry hippo lol. Not that it matters on the looks department if she was intelligent. She is a grade school level writer and an uneducated single mom that has found a niche and for that I actually congratulate her. I mean she can get dumb people excited just like trump.
Shes a town bullyQuote:

She's just a city charter commissioner. After the city charter revision is either rejected or accepted, she might run for city council, she might not.
From what I see, a lot of people agree with some of what she states, such as how some blacks are being mistreated at some stores.
However, she is very controversial, and is unapoglgetic in every sense of the word. That is a quality of a politician. Not always a good one to have.
Her downside is a lack of compromise, which if not backed up by the people she represents, can be a problem.
If she has the majority of the residents behind her, she could be the next city councilperson of District 7.
I'd rather have a city councilperson representing that district instead of a councilperson under federal investigation.
There are certain ways that issues can be addressed, and not all people do it the "right" way. But, when people are behind her, the issues can't be ignored.
Has nothing to do with this, but ok? Does deflecting this to some white people that may be racist [[racist people exist in all races....) change what we are talking about?Quote:

I'd say you are missing the point. There are plenty of folks that can make her actually salient points in a much different way. She is clearly a racist. So if the forum by majority "goes to war" with her, to use your words, it is justified, no?Quote:
