Re: Marion Barry apologizes for anti-Asian remarks
Oops!! You know ... as people get older, they just tend to just spit out what they're thinking off the top of their heads at the moment!! Marion's telling it like it is. But also, he needs to stress how important it is that there be Black business owners ready to take their place. It's not just about buying a shop and opening up the door. You have to have the business skills to be able to make it successful.
