QUOTE Michigan City Mayor Asked to Resign Over Alleged Racial Comments Posted today at 10:08am by Stan Maddux (Michigan City, IN) - The Mayor of Michigan City will be asked to resign during a protest this afternoon over a statement that many in the African American ministerial community find offensive. The protest, largely organized by members of the ministerial community, is scheduled to begin at 3 P.M. outside the Michigan City City Hall. Pastor Dave Lane said the Mayor called him back over a matter of concern recently and left him a voicemail. Lane said the “hot mic” statement was made after the Mayor thought he had hung up the phone, and the comments were recorded on the voicemail. “They want a f____ing audience. You know, these black guys. They all want a f___ing audience,” Mayor Duane Parry said on the recording. “The Mayor made a statement that is so disturbing; I don’t want to repeat it. It’s not something that should be coming from the Chief Executive of our city.” |

QUOTE Three letters critical of Mayor Duane Parry were read out loud at a recent City Council meeting. Council members asked for the letters to be read during the meeting. The letters referred to his apparently racist remarks on a voicemail for a local pastor who is black. Two of the letters accused Parry of being anti-union. Parry hasn’t responded to an email seeking comment |
