A medic who has been preventing the opioid epidemic affecting the Blacks below the very nostril of principally White Supremacist rulers of the U.S. has despatched a rejoinder to a Washington Post columnist to not put soiled developer-friendly Mayor Muriel Bowser in the identical basket with the legendary “ghansta senator” L. Louise Lucas of Virginia.
“To cite Muriel Bowser in the same breath as the brilliant Virginia state Senator L. Louise Lucas is total insult to Black consciousness, moral motivation, and the current actual fate of thousands of our fellow citizens as a result of Bowser’s inane and inhumane policies,” People’s Doctor, Dr. Edwin Chapman wrote to Petula Dvorak a columnist after she wrote a column “Two powerful women showed that the old boys’ way no longer works” concerning Ted Leonsis being blocked by Virginia State Sen. L. Louise Lucas (D-Portsmouth), a former shipyard employee within the closing days of March.
Leonsis, price $3.1 billion and ranked as 1068 on the planet when it comes to money and who’s proprietor of the Capitals and the Wizards. Leonsis was given $515 million of DC taxpayers money final month by Mayor Bowser to maintain his Monumental Sports and Entertainment in DC when in reality he had no the place else to go.
Residents of Alexandria, whom John McCain brother had referred to as communists, have been up in arms towards Virginia Governor Glen Youngkin doling out an enormous patch of pristine Virginia land to Leonsis at Potomac Yard for making extra money.
Dvorak principally writes fairly powerfully however in her latest piece on April Fool’s day made an enormous blunder of projecting Bowser as a defender of Black rights.
Dr Chapman advised Dvorak he has for years cherished her writings “on topics like homelessness, addiction treatment, and most recently the dire need for more Black social workers with relevant experience in today’s challenging real world climate.”
Maria Shriver, a niece of JFK and ex of of former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger with Ted Leonsis, CEO of Monumental Sports and Entertainment.
Dr. Chapman reminded Dvorak, “The idea that Muriel Bowser knows or cares anything about Black Lives Matter is to ignore the facts of why so many African Americans in DC are homeless on the streets, overdosing at the fastest rate in the country, and often leaving children parentless in foster care or jail. How is it that you missed the point and “drank the cool-aid” on how Bowser merely lucked out on this deal because of Lucas’s bravery!”
Dr. Chapman lamented, “Bowser, on the other hand, is a person who repeatedly scatters homeless encampments like trash, tried to block a council approved increase in SNAP benefits, refused to declare a “public health emergency” for opioid deaths till pressured to take action, and now makes use of throwback Black Coded “drug free zones” to scatter moderately than deal with habit.”
Dr. Chapman requested, “How is it that Bowser can always find ways to give a billionaire $515 million dollars to renovate his stadium, but can’t find the where-with-all and money to house and care for human beings?”
Dr. Chapman opined along with the good Senator Lucas, one might embrace Letitia James and Fani Willis as courageous Black girls within the mildew of contemporary day Harriet Tubmans and different Americans pushed by ideas moderately than the greed and manipulation of builders.
Dr. Chapman, 78, initially from Gary, who’s an lively member of C.R.E.W.S. — Communities Respecting Everyone’s Will to Survive. The coalition of people and neighborhood organizations is devoted to upholding the human dignity of the Blacks within the nations capital as concerted efforts have been underway for greater than half century to push them out from Washington D.C.— from 70 p.c in 1980, the Black inhabitants has shrunk to 46 p.c. It looks like Bowser leaves no stone unturned to throw extra Blacks out of D.C. within the title of gentrification.
“When it comes to bold, innovative mayors, one should study instead LA’s Mayor Karen Bass as that exemplar of equity and the antithesis of the colonial minded, gentrification oriented Muriel Bowser.”
Observers level out one other smajor distinction between Mayors Karen Bass and Muriel Bowser is the that Bass is open and sincere about her sexuality however Bowser is just not.
Dr. Chapman might be talking on the Rotary Club Wednesday on “A Tale of Two Cities” with the identical issues however polar reverse management type and options.
It is unbelievable that robber barons exist even as we speak and get away with public money in entrance of the entire world’s eyes. In the Bowser-Leonsis, deal Washington DC taxpayers pays $515 million to Leonsis however all of the earnings will keep within the coffers of the Greek origin billionaire. Meanwhile, practically 5,000 homeless, principally Blacks, loiter on Washington DC streets with the sky as their roof.
Leonsis had generously donated to the Obama and Clinton campaigns.
