Obviously he should have been put in jail. He violated the conditions of his parole. The crazy thing is that biased people on here will say that he should not be jailed and it is because of his race that he is in trouble with the law. It is mind boggling.

THEM RACISTS WILL LOOK FOR ANY RESIN TO LOCK A BLACK MAN UP BUT WHAT ABOWT ALL THEM WHITE SEREAL KILLERS YOU DONT SEE NOTHIN HAPPIN TO THEM IT JUSS IGNORANT

Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is not above the law. He is adding injury to insult. A simple authorization to travel out of the country could have saved him a lot of grief. One day in jail was not long enough, he should have served more time in jail.

Of course he should have gone to jail. Why would anyone think that he should be spared incarceration? The judge was clear when he informed him of his restrictons regarding travel outside of the state or country. He knew it. He just thought that he was “special”. His tenure as mayor has been shrouded in deception, lies and hypocrisy. I’m sure that there will be a few (and I stress “few”) black folks that will defend him simply because he’s black and they will actually feel that doing so is honorable. I call them the “loyally uninformed”.

As black people, we can’t break the law or do things that are unethical and then try to argue that our prosecution is somehow tied to racist white people. It diminishes our credibility when we confront “real” racism. They see us as “crying wolf”. I know that there are racist white folks out there who love nothing more than putting their foot on a blackman’s neck, but we can’t keep voluntarily giving them our heads on the chopping block, by breakingthe law and then complain when they swing at it. We can’t have it both ways.

Kilpatrick is a disappointment as a leader. He took advantage of his position as the city’s representative and had no respect for his office. Its time we hold black leaders accountable. Then and only then will we be able to demand that white America “Do the Right Thing”.

Everyone (especially us) knows that when you are in the spotlight i.e. politician, actor, sports,etc.) you can’t even jaywalk and it not be in the paper. YOU WILL BE PUNISHED! If they locked up Paris, Martha Stewart, Ron Isley, Lil Kim, Marion Barry , T.I., WHY DID HE THINK FOR ONE SECOND THAT “I APOLOGIZE” was going to work for him?!
What happened to the good old days when Blacks who made a name for themselves in sports, business, politics, music etc., reflected a positive image?! We say we are different from the white man but we do the same dumb, stupid, embarrassing, unnecessary things that they do when we have position and power.

Karen, you nailed it! Very well said. That’s the kind of responsible thinking that we need to hear. I hope we’re listening.

Sharonda, You need to go back to school or get your G.E.D. and learn how to spell!!!!

Karen, I agree. I am from Detroit and now live in Las Vegas, and I am ashamed to tell people where I used to live. He was a main factor in my and my adult daughters decsion to leave the city in 2004. He was not ready for the task at that time and his deeds from that point on has shown in his actions. I went back to the city in March 08 and was sadly dissapointed in what I saw. Yes, he improved downtown, but the area I grew up in (E. Grand Blvd, Eastside) is in shambles. My heart was broken. Kwama as everyone has always called him should just step aside. I could go on and on but to keep it simple, I pray he finds enough sense to pick up the few pieces of diginty he has left and move foward.

rocsi is a slut

rocsi is a wh#re

Rosci find you own man

Please, do not get me wrong when I say this, but, what if this was Mayor Bloomberg they were talking about? When I see this kind of thing in the news, I always ask myself the question, what if it was someone else?

What Mayor Kilpatrick did was very irresponsible, however, he did not do anything differently (besides getting caught) from what people in positions of authority have already been doing for years. I am not saying that because all those other guys do it, that means he should too, what I am saying is he is not the only one. Trust me,I know, I used to work for some pretty important guys and they did irresponsible things with resources all the time.

I totally agree with Gary though, we need to start holding black leadership accountable. Whether white America does the right thing or not, it is about us doing the right thing, even when people are not looking.

We as a people need to come to the understanding, when you make a covenant to be in a certain position or take on a certain task the people who surround you are not the only ones that hear you. GOD, is listening as well! These people swear on the Holy Bible when they take office and yet find it so easy to lie in the face of GOD. When you are in leadership whether it be secular or spiritual, people are watching life with hope that the way you live will give them an inkling of hope that the decisions you make will somehow help to make their lives better. We must be leaders by precept and example not in word only. We must let the WORD OF GOD lead us into all truths, instead of leaning to our own understanding,and in all our ways acknowledge him an he will direct our path. We are held to a higher standard and judged seven times more harsh for leading people to follow things, people, and paths, that are out of the will of GOD! i’M PRAYING for the youngman, because he needs deliverence from that spirit of LIES sexual perversity, sexual immorality, and spiritual delusion. Then once he comes to himself and realizes that he needs to repent, and ask for forgiveness openly, I trust GOD to forgive as he promises. PEOPLE, forgiving him, now that’s a different story. He seems to have no remorse I hope that will change, because repentance isn’t being sorry because you were caught, it being sorry because you rebelled against GOD!

This young mam is troubled a young sccessful black man should be conducting himself better. You can remove a personn from the getto but you can ot remove the getto from the person he needs help sdo not blame this on the white man blame this on stupidity.

As usual UMLAW your ignorance about black people is running wild…this man is an embarassment to the black race. He deserves to be punished like any other criminal. Just put him on the list of corrupt politicians and call it a day!

UMLAW, STOP ASSUMING THAT YOU KNOW THE MINDS OF BLACK PEOPLE…YOU WILL FOREVER BE LOST!!!

What a disgrace! He’s a joke and should be removed

I THINK HE SHOULD RESIGN RIGHT NOW. I MEAN GIVE UP ALREADY YOU’RE MAKING EVERYONE IN MICHIGAN LOOK VERY VERY VERY VERY BAD AT THIS POINT IN TIME. SO KK STEP DOWN RIGHT AWAY. HE’S AN VERY BAD JOKE THATS NOT FUNNY AT ALL. MY YOUNG SONS LOOK AT THIS GUY AND THINK THAT THATS THE WAY TO BEHAVE OUT IN PUBLIC AND I WILL BE D! IF THAT HAPPENS. KWAME KILPATRICK STEP DOWN AND GIVE SO ONE ELSE THE CHANCE TO BE AN BETTER MORE TRUSTWORTHY MAYOR. DETROIT DON’T NEED AN HIP-HOP MAYOR WE NEED AN MATURE MAN OR WOMAN WHO CAN CONDUCT THEMSELVES CORRECTLY NOT INCORRECTLY. SO GIVE US SOME CREDIT FOR PICK SOMEONE WHO’S NOT UP TO THE JOB OF RUNNING OUR DETROIT CITY , MOTOR CITY, MOTOWN FAMILIES.

You may or may not agree with me. I akin what has happen to Kwame as another PUBLIC HANGING of a young black man. What he did or didnt do we will truly never know. I say no more hangings of our black men!. What if ….he was your family member, your brother, your father, your husband, and Yes, your son. Would you feel the same. You would want fairness. Kwame hasn’t receieved that. He has been convicted by the media.

Yeah, he should’ve been put in jail, but the conditions in which he had to leave is probably the reason he wasn’t in jail longer.

Kwame is my mayor. He has stumbled badly on the job. But, his trip “out of the country” was across the river to Windsor, Canada. He basically took a trip to our backyard…but it IS the principle of his actions. There is a feeding frenzy here in Detroit to remove him from office, because he refuses to resign. I’m basically neutral. Elections are near, why waste tons of money to oust him early. I do believe that now that Kwame has his “street cred”, he may be more popular than he ever was before. If the media doesn’t back off his story and give him some air, they may solidify his re-election. I know they don’t want that!!!!!!

Who can judge this man? All have sin and come short of Gods glory.
I say give this man a second chance. The lord has given me so many chances. He is going to do even a better job with Detroit. God is in control.

Like I said, he did not do anything differently than what politicians have been doing for years, with the exception of getting caught. However, he has an aura about himself that does not sit well with everybody and if he gives them weapons to use against him, he better not expect to live long.

WELL IF BLACK PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO PUT US IN JAIL, THEN WHY DO WE CONTINUE TO DO STUPID STUFF. WE ALREADY KNOW THAT WE ARE TARGETS, SO WHY DO WE DO STUFF TO GIVE WHITE PEOPLE REASONS TO PUT US DOWN??? KWAME SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE WHAT HE DID IF HE DIDN’T WANT TO GO TO JAIL. WE CAN’T BLAME OTHER PEOPLE FOR HIS ACTIONS. IT MAY HAVE BEEN SOME RACISM INVOLVED; BUT IF KWAME WAS DOING WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TOO, THEN THEY WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TOUCH HIM NO MATTER HOW HARD THEY TRIED.

I BELIEVE THAT KWAME KILPATRICK IS A DISGRACE TO THE MAYORAL POSITION, THE CITY AND RESIDENTS OF DETROIT. RIGHT IS RIGHT AND WRONG IS WRONG. ADMIT IT AND RECEIVE YOUR PUNISHMENT AS ANY OTHER AMERICAN WOULD HAVE TOO. HE IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW.

Who in the hell is Rocsi? LOL

Who really knows the truth in any given situation? Surely, we are not convinced that only politicians have morales and values. Such a belief can only lead to utter disappointment.

I would rather let the politicl and judicial systems do what it will to Mayor Kilpatrick. Ten felonies is alot for anyone to overcome. Evidence is not being fabricated and the evidence continues to mount. Put another rock on the pile Mayor Kilpatrick.

Anyone who demonstrates such reckless disregard for the rule of law, regardless of color, experience, social status, or financial means, and is unwilling to comply with that law and good order, should not be permitted to act in a manner that is harmful to that good order. Mayor Kilpatrick will pay for his misdeeds. Eventually, what is done in the dark will come to the light. In some cases the price to be paid will be higher for some than it is for others.

For reaasons that we may never fully understand; Mayor KIlpatrick appears to deem himemself to be above the law and any appropriate morale restraint. This latest encounter with the courts bears this out most pointedly.

I wish the mayor the best.

Le’ah
I believe tay and lisa is referring to the movie “Goodfellas”. When Karen Hill discovers her husband, Henry Hill’s extra-martial affair with Rossi. Karen went to her apartment and put Rossi on blast. Karen’s remarks was: Rossi you slut, Rossi you whore, Rossi get your own man.

let us not forget that KWAME BEAT HIS WIFE after she found out that he was CHEATING on her.

Kevin B,

Normal minds agree that this major is a douch bag and must be removed from office. So what is your point?

my point is to those who think that the big scary white man is after every black man on earth…the race card seems to be the default for almost EVERY article on BET.com….horrible, really

kevin b:

you sound like a horrible little bitter white man. you keep repeating that same ole bull about race. you love to talk about the race card on BET blogs. if you don’t like our responses go to another website or better yet spread the word to your white friends that blacks are not the enemy so they will stop discriminating against us in housing, education, employment, etc… DO YOU BELITTLE AND LECTURE WHITES LIKE YOU DO BLACKS??? you should because neither side is perfect but whites do hold the power and the money.

I really dont have a comment just if he messing up then he gets what he deserves…i never really like this man nor do i care what he does i dont live in detroit so its none of my concern….so i have no say so but what ive heard he has done good in the community…every body has made mistakes but we just have 2 see if this man has learned from his…give a chance!!!

i don’t care if he ’s not above the law or not american the white men just need to stop to put black people in their nasty damm ass jail and he was right to make a trip to canada even europe if he could ,to get out from usa usa usa stress.and some of u are evil .really eil because the world never progress.
