Kwame A River

"This unethical, illegal, lynch mob mentality has to stop." Please comment this blog if you are part of this lynch mob. It would include anyone who ever thought that what Kwame has done is corrupt and ignorant of his position in this city. Kwame's use of diction in that quote alone would bring anyone to tears, I mean who wouldn't feel bad for a man who's had an affair with a coworker AND spent tons of the cities money. He may think he is persuading the people to notice their own wrongdoings but his words have fallen on deaf ears and he has nothing left to hold on to. Even before he calls Detroit and "lynch mob" he tries to work in a bit of pathos with the crowd to maybe get a tear out of his loyal followers. After dropping the N-Bomb in his speech and speaking like it is something new in this city he brings his own family into the mix, saying "I've heard these words before but I've never heard people say them about my wife and children." and "I don't believe that a Nielsen rating is worth the life of my children or your children." Any reasonable person could solve the puzzle that is Kwame's trail of destruction by putting events together, and realizing that this statement must be false. Clearly he cares about his kids and his wife because he would rather expel himself out of their life and be with another woman then make them grow up with such a corrupt father. Once again what he assumes will be created in the crowds hearts is merely an allusion to his own arrogance. He cannot capture the city emotionally by including his family if he himself could care less about them. This post must end before I start a new rant on the falsities in the rest of his speech, so "I humbly ask that we say 'no more' together."

i don't know how much trouble im going to get for commenting on your blog, but good use of sarcasm. A good read for anyone who can see past the mayor's falsehoods.
