~Benton Harbor gives Louis Farrakhan "Keys to the City"~

[The_Outlaw]

Apparently it doesn’t matter if you spew anti-Semitic hate and gleefully preach of the impending destruction of America. At least it doesn‘t matter if you’re being considered for a key to the city of Benton Harbor, Mich.
According to a report, Louis Farrakhan is being given the honor and the key this week. WSJM-RADIO has the report:
The Benton Harbor City Commission on Monday voted to honor Louis Farrakhan with a key to the city when he visits next week. Farrakhan’s set to speak at Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church at seven PM on Friday, the 27th … .
City Commissioner Marcus Muhammad told the station, “To have someone of his stature to come to our city I think that’s the least we can do.”
The only person that voted against the measure, WSJM reports, was Mayor James Hightower. Three other members were not present.

I grew up in that $hithole and this does not in any way surprise me. It was bad in '88 when I left Michigan and it's continued to rot ever since.

For those of us that love the State of Mi., it's great that our state looks like a mitten. If it looked like a human body, Benton Harbor would definately be the crotch.

I lived in St. Joseph MI for 5 years which is right next to Benton Harbor they should change the name to Crack City, it's a infested city of crack heads.

 

[boomer252]

Giving him the key to that city all makes sense now

 

[dcselby1]

Probably given to him by Cassius Clay who lives (lived) in St. Joe, I belive.

If they ever give the Earth an enema, I always thought Boston would be the insertion point. I stand corrected.

It's amazing that this place can still exist. Should just turn off the power to it & close it down. Just a few miles up the coast of Lake Michigan, there are some of the most affluent communities in the country, And some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Wow seems non-solution having members have the same lame understanding following a media that we all know is at best suspect.Farrakhan is not against the conservative principles that the NRA is known for. He certainly is not liberal. If Said anything anti-semitic what was it and please do not mention the media/ADL fabricated lies. Since no solutions have been offered by this sight you make Obama look like a genius cause all you show is that you "cling to your guns and religion". The constitutional right to bear arms comes with an incredible responsibility and presenting such un-rooted arguments brings the maturity levels in question. Those of you who want Benton Harbor driven off the map and won't go there why not at least allow someone to go in that has a history and track record of getting the rift raft of the ghetto off the streets into productive citizens.

Maybe once they give him the key they can lock themselves in.

It sounds to me like you are probably a fan of Farrakhan then am I right?
If so, is it safe to assume that you also probably believe that all white people are 'devils' as Farrakhan has stated time & time again?

P.s. If you don't believe in & accept Yeshua Messiah (Jesus the Christ) as our Lord & Saviour, then you aint no 'righteous brother' of mine pal.

What a load of bullshlt.

What a load of bullshlt.

That suburb of Chicago has been a dump for over a century. They have tried to clean it up by different means. But a ghetto is still a ghetto.
No one person is going to make a change there, the people have to change. As long as boarded up, rat infested neighborhoods are ok with them, it will stay that way.
