Yvette Clarke represents the 11th congressional district in Brooklyn. Her mother (Una Clarke) is the former city council woman from Brooklyn’s 40th councilmanic district. When Una was term-limited in 2001, her daughter Yvette succeeded her in the council seat. Una was born on the island of Jamaica and loves to highlight her roots as a maroon. Yvette was born in Brooklyn, and loves her Caribbean-American heritage and culture as much as she loves her African-American birthright. Maroons are militant people: they don’t take too much shit. Bill Perkins was lucky that Una wasn’t at City Hall yesterday.

Look, I have had a few issues with Una along the by and by, but I have always admired her spunk; as tiny as she is she just might have decked Perkins yesterday, for the way he handled Yvette. While we know exactly who Una is most of the time, Yvette has always been “Una-lite”; sometimes it is better that way: yesterday might have been one of those times.

Just so that you know: if there is ever a “throw-down” between the uptown boys and the Brooklyn crew, I am fighting with Brooklyn. Roughing up the Brooklyn electeds is my job; and Perkins needs to stay out of my terrain/lol.

Bill Perkins is the state senator from Harlem -where he was born and raised I am told. At one point between 2001 and 2005 he was a member of the city council; so too was Yvette Clarke. I am assuming they both got along all right; especially since I have never picked up anything adverse through the grapevines. That’s why yesterday’s ungentlemanly behavior by Bill “Perks” Perkins leaves an opening for much speculation. I was surprised by Bill’s mannerisms, demeanor and tone of voice. He was angry like hell; obviously, there were many things on his mind.
