I agree that she's not a good person, but why are you surprised she's still employed? Her boss seems to like her and defend her. For what reasons exactly would you expect him to fire her? | ||
Michigan Member Username: Michigan Post Number: 1148 Registered: 04-2007 |
Because the citizens of Detroit think this behaviour is acceptable. Plain and simple. | ||

I must say, she is quite an asset to the Kwame administration. He sure spends a lot of time and (city taxpayers) money covering up for her. She must have put it on him real good. | ||
Cambrian Member Username: Cambrian Post Number: 1608 Registered: 08-2006 |
Kwame is like that questionable personal relationship where you need to keep asking yourself: "Should I stay or should I go? I know I'll make a list of his good traits and list of his bad traits and see which list is bigger." | ||

My point was that whenever there is a fool like Beatty people like yourself will always follow with "You guys deserve her since you voted for Kwame" I want her fired and many Detroiters do as well but you continue to show your ignorance. DO you support all employees of your Mayor, Governor, State reps in your district, Congressmen/women, President. If not you deserve them since 'you guys' voted for them or their boss. Should be easy enough logic to follow. | ||

Nice self-contradiction JT1. She is not a crossing guard. She is Kwame's Chief of Staff. She has her hand in every decision the city makes. He chose her personally as the person whose judgement he relies on most. My point is whenever there is a fool like Beatty people like yourself defend Kwame. You don't want her fired enough, and neither do the other citizens of Detroit, or else she would be gone. Stop lying to yourself. Finally, YOU DO DESERVE HER BECAUSE YOUR CITY ELECTED KWAME. What did the voters of Detroit expect when they re-elected him. There is an old saying, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice I must vote in Detroit". | ||

Okay, then please enlighten me as to what the voters of Detroit did expect when they re-elected the mayor? Richard Daly? Michael Bloomberg? Rudy Giuliani? Andrew Young? Harold Washington? Please, enlighten me to the good points of the mayor that I am blind to. If I'm wrong I'll admit it. A small poll, who voted for Kwame? | ||
Jt1 Member Username: Jt1 Post Number: 10148 Registered: 10-2003 |
Michigan - There is no contradiction. I think Beatty needs to go but the nonsense o f 'you guys get wat you deserve since you wanted him' crap is non-sense. Do you support all the decisions of those that represent you. You are still missing the point. quote: Nice assumptions. You just described the issue that I have with people like you. Where did I defend Kwame? A question for you: Do you agree with all appointees of everyone that represents you? If not, well you deserve that person by your logic. quote: How do I, or all citizens of Detroit, 'Deserve' her or Kwame as you state? I did not vote for Kwame but you sure do like making ignorant blanket statements about everyone in the city because KK carried a majority. I guess everyone in the US deserves Bush and their congressional reps since they must have voted for them. (Message edited by jt1 on September 13, 2007) | ||

JT- I guess you missed that I was playing with your own sentences. I just twisted your silly blanket statement (the one where you say "people like yourself will always follow with...") against you. Re-read your post, then mine, I think you'll see what I did. Sorry if it went over your head. Just trying to use parody to illustrate an idea, sorry if no one hear can see hyperbole for what it is. But listen folks, Kwame was a known quantity, and so was his administration. The fact that he was re-elected says a lot about the electorate in Detroit. Beatty is not just any employee, so let's stop pretending she is. She is his God Damned Chief of Staff. When the Chief of Staff has a complete disregard for the law, what does that say for the entire administration. Hmmm, sounds like a penny ante version of Scooter Libby and the Bush/Cheney boys. | ||

To answer the question about what Detroiters wanted when they reelected Kwame... Well, as a Detroiter who didn't vote for KK, I'd imagine the voters who did want the exact same things that I want in a place to live. Which is why I support(ed) Kwame as mayor, but not so much as the alter-ego he has become. A lady called in to the "Detroit Today" discussion on wdet yesterday (Wed. 9.12) to express her support for Kwame and her disagreement with the jurry. Her reasoning was that, in addition to believing Kwame, she just wanted people to leave him alone. Me, on the other hand want my public officials held accountable for their actions, decisions and accusations, because afterall, they work for me and not themselves. To have a Channel 7 microphone put up to your face as a gesture to answer simple questions, and the response to be a temper tantrum where (Kwame) whips the microphone across the room is not fulfilling my demand that he provide answers to public questions that he is held accountable for. Therefore, if I could, as his employer, I would fire him. Instead, Christine Beatty is ravaging her deadly rocket mobile through the streets of Detroit, just asking to run somebody down. All because...she can... | ||
Michigan Member Username: Michigan Post Number: 1160 Registered: 04-2007 |
So, Rocket, it appears that what you want is a responsive, responsible mayor. However, it could be deduced, taking that one caller as a sample, that people who voted for the mayor don't care about those things. | ||
Rocket_city Member Username: Rocket_city Post Number: 394 Registered: 04-2006 |
I wouldn't say that. Perhaps her priorities are similar to mine but are value-ranked differently. Sure it would be nice if some of the petty nagging regarding the mayor went away...particularly from the media... But I value that as least of the concerns that I have. | ||

What is the margin of error on a caller sample when it realtes to a population the size of Detroit? | ||
Detroitnerd Member Username: Detroitnerd Post Number: 1384 Registered: 07-2004 |
Actually, that's INduction, not deduction. | ||
Michigan Member Username: Michigan Post Number: 1161 Registered: 04-2007 |
Thank you Dnerd, Induction is in fact much more accurate. The margin of error is +/-100%. | ||
Detroitnerd Member Username: Detroitnerd Post Number: 1385 Registered: 07-2004 |
Any reasoning is only as solid as the information going in and the person doing the thinking. Looking at a specific instance of something and making large assumptions about groups based on that instance is usually not called induction, though... | ||
Michigan Member Username: Michigan Post Number: 1162 Registered: 04-2007 |
Well, with a stated margin of error of +/- 100%, the reasoning, as well as the reasoner, are not to be taken too seriously.... | ||
Detroitnerd Member Username: Detroitnerd Post Number: 1386 Registered: 07-2004 |
Right, well here's how it goes wrong, Michigan. A caller to a Detroit radio show supported Kwame Kilpatrick. The caller's reasons for supporting Kilpatrick were ridiculous. Therefore, all Detroiters who supported Kwame Kilpatrick did so for ridiculous reasons. Where was that margin of error again? | ||
Michigan Member Username: Michigan Post Number: 1163 Registered: 04-2007 |
You really are a nerd, and like JT can not see sarcasm when it hits you in the face. I said there was a margin of error of +/-100%. I thought that would have been enough to trigger the "common sense" response in other posters brains. You know the response that says, "wait a minute, +/- 100%, thats ridiculous. Hey, he must be goofing on us. That crazy knucklehead Michigan, he's at it again." That response. Usually it is repressed in folks who are taking themselves or their discussions on internet forums too seriously (as I am often known to do). I'll stand in front of Ms. Beatty's car for 2 hours, +/- 100%. | ||

My initial question was of a curious nature. I was not scolding Detroit for keeping her on the payroll. I do think it is rather interesting that Beatty with an obvious disdain for the rules is allowed(by the Mayor) to continue in her job.What does the Mayor get out of this if we are to believe there is no romantic tryst? She only makes him look bad. | ||
Gnome Member Username: Gnome Post Number: 73 Registered: 08-2007 |
Miss Beatty is still the Mayor's Chief of Staff because he would be absolutely INSANE to fire her. Can you imagine Christine Beatty mad at the Mayor? Oh, the stories would pour forth in a torrent of estrogen fueled bile so thick, so vile, so steeped in the fetid under-life of the Mayor that people's hair would catch on fire all over the city. Heck, if I was the Mayor, I'd give her a raise. I'd keep that lady happy, very happy. She knows secrets, she takes the heat, and she is the evil face behind Kwame's smile. I don't understand why smart folks like DYers would even consider that she would - or should - be fired. Detroiters didn't vote for - or against - kwame because of that shrew, they voted Kwame because he promised to turn over a new leaf, took out the earring, and because he had less white blood than Freeman did. She is tied to Kwame, for life. | ||

Doesn't anyone remember the "rush to Blackness" toward the end of the campaign? It happens in every election. Every one. That is one of the themes of the "look like us" chorus led by those kooks Watson and Talibani. It is a twisted verson of the "one drop" rule - and it has been used to murderous effect in Haiti. When I was there the supporters of the more black Aristede put tires around the necks of their slightly whiter brothers, poured gasoline inside the tire, and lit the tires on fire. It was called "necklacing". We are headed in the same direction with all this stupid racist crap. Me mo' black, stay away from my town, just send money. And the cracker fucks that tremble at the sight of some darky at the QuikieMart. I tell eveyone, you only need it see one person lit on fire,hands tied, legs kicking, inky black smoke choking them and the crowd that's cheering. See that, smell that, then tell me what it means to be racist. Tell me how proud you are with your white superiority and your black arrogance. Shutup with your crap. |
