The Dumb Negro Chronicles…

So Kwame Kilpatrick, Bernard Kilpatrick, and Bobby Ferguson were indicted on RICOH charges – 38 counts of racketeering. Question: is anybody surprised?

To be honest , I haven’t seen the video of the federal indictment – kinda sick of all this Kwame Kilpatrick mess – but we (Detroiters) have seen it coming for quite some time.

Some of us can recall being amazed when Kwame’s opponent for the mayoral seat – who’s name I don’t feel like looking up – called him a “thug”, and accused him of rigging her office chair so that she’d get a shock. Knowing what we know now – being called a “thug” was probably a compliment to Kwame.

I’m not a fan, and I’m tired of writing about Kwame, so watch the video. I’m going to bed.

Kwame goes to jail…

Former Detroit mayor (and convicted felon) Kwame Malik Kilpatrick has been sentenced to 1 1/2 – 5 years in prison for violating the terms of his probation. Kilpatrick was found guilty in 2008 of lying under oath concerning his affair with this then – chief of -staff, Christine Beatty. The truth about their relationship was later revealed when the Detroit Free Press published racy text messages between the two – coining the term ‘sexting’ – following a whistleblower trial brought against the city by two police officers fired for investigating a wild party at the official mayoral residence – a party later deemed ‘urban legend’ by the state Attorney General.

As part of his probation, Kilpatrick was ordered to pay $1 million in restitution to the city of Detroit, but has made every effort to hide his assets while living in luxury in a ritzy Texas suburb. Kilpatrick claimed he had only $6.00 left after paying for living expenses, while he & his wife drove luxury SUV’s, his children attended private schools, and he gifted his wife with plastic surgery.

Guilty!

Former Detroit Mayor – and convicted felon – Kwame Kilpatrick has been found guilty today of violating his probation by failing to disclose some of his assets to the court. Long story short – Kwame could be going to jail for up to 4 months for allegedly hiding assets. Conventional reasoning is Kwame was trying to keep from using all his money to repay the city for the $1 million settlement paid to cover up his affair with Christine Beatty. While living in the most exclusive suburb in the nation - and driving two luxury SUV’s – Kwame claimed that after expenses, he had only $6.00 left to pay restitution.

Kwame’s speaks + he’s back in town…

The Nation of Islam’s Final Call releases this interview of convicted felon former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick tryin’ to sell us some bullsh*t. Among other things, Kwame shares that he’s been in contact with ex – GF Christine Beatty, and he still loves her dearly. Given that she hasn’t released a tell-all book yet, I can imagine he does…

Funny how the release of this video coincides with today’s hearing on Kwame’s finances, where he’ll again try to sell the story about how he’s ‘still in the doghouse’ with wife Carlita, and has no clue where the money comes from, or how the bills get paid.

Whatever, Kwame…

Kwame got a big ol’ house…

 

Kwame Kilpatrick & family have just moved to a new leased home in a gated community in Dallas’ exclusive Southlake suburb. The home is said to be 50% larger than the Manoogian Mansion – the home  his family occupied while he was mayor of Detroit. Wanna see it?

The only thing remotely interesting about this move is that Kwame’s lawyers plan to appeal the judges order to have Kwame pay $6,500.00 monthly towards $1million dollar restitution to the City of Detroit – claiming Kwame only has $6.00/month left after paying his bills.

Hmmmmm…wonder why?

Christine Beatty cops a plea…

 

Christine Beatty – former chief-of-staff to former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick – has pleaded guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice in the infamous “sex & text” scandal that sent Kwame Kilpatrick to jail.

“I lied under oath in the case of Harold Nelthrope and Gary Brown regarding information that was relevant to the case. I did so with the intent to mislead the court and jury and to impede and obstruct the fair administation of justice…”I lied under oath in the civil deposition of the Brown and Nelthrope lawsuit.”

Quote of the Day: Bernard Kilpatrick

 “The anguish of thousands of black fathers for years who watched their sons being railroaded into jail.”

Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s father Bernard Kilpatrick’s response when asked how he felt seeing his son sentenced to serve 120 days in the Wayne County Jail for perjuring himself under oath about the firings of two police officers, and his affair with chief of staff Christine Beatty.

This explains SO much…

Kwame goes to jail…

 

Former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has been sentenced to serve 120 days in the Wayne County Jail beginning today. He’s also been ordered to sign away his license to practice law, and to pay restitution to the city from various political funds.

This is so anti-climactic for me. Funny how in the short time since Kwame resigned from office he’s gone from being a larger-than-life celebrity to nothing more than an afterthought here in Detroit.

Kwame goes to jail today, and it’s about d*mn time.

Kwame does the ‘dine & dash’

 

 

lunch-receipts

Looks like Kwame tried to get over on Detroit taxpayers – AGAIN. According to the Detroit Free Press, Kwame and a couple buddies had lunch at the exclusive Detroit Club, which gives an honorary membership to Detroit’s mayor. Come time to pay the bill – Kwame signs the receipt, and tells the waiter ‘charge it to the city’. Wouldn’t be a problem, except Kwame’s membership was cancelled when he resigned from office.

Did he REALLY think the waiter didn’t know he was no longer mayor? Real nice, Kwame.

And since we’re on the subject - as Christine Beatty is awaiting trial - (and reportedly on her daughter’s birthday) - more text messages were released on Thursday. Wonder if ’Freaky Chris’ still wants to have text with a man who can’t even pay for lunch.
