Malik Shabazz, Matty Moroun's well-compensated black friend, showed up to protest Gov. Rick Snyder's meeting with a group of Detroit Baptist ministers.
If the reception outside the meeting was chilly, it wasn't much warmer for inside Snyder. Things were, however, significantly more reasoned and less shouty.
Freep: That partnership will be difficult to achieve, said Rev. Bertram Marks, legal counsel for the pastors, if Snyder signs the voting registration bills.
“These are issues that our ancestors fought very hard to achieve,” Marks said. “We feel there is a national movement to curtail people’s ability to vote to impact the presidential election. If you sign these bills into law, it will have great ramification for any cooperation you’re looking to have with Detroit.”
Marks is referring to a package of bills that critics claim will make it more difficult to vote and likely negatively effect poor and minority voters disproportionately.
While the ministers were focused on real issues that have real implications for real people, Shabazz and his mob were shouting about an imaginary revenue sharing debt and also whatever bossman Moroun paid them to shout about. -- JTW
