Amazing isn’t it.

Maybe the problem is that the black people are impoverished and in the cycle of poverty etc. and therefor their only option is crime due to lack of education, lack of options, lack of support from anyone. When there is no tax revenue coming from this area, how the fuck can they pay for pigs to murder the black people? How the fuck can they pay for schools? How the fuck can they pay for preschools? How would they be able to pay for a minimum income? The answer? Tax the fuck out of the rich. Redistribute the wealth. Ban the civilian possession of handguns. Make college free.

Dude, you are a total nutjob. I remember when black people used to work and have an American Dream. Then LBJ took it away when he started the “Great Society”. He started never ending welfare with the consequence being that in order to keep getting welfare you had to be poor and not work. It was a ploy to create a dependant voter block that would always vote for their masters so they could continue to get a handout. The democratic party essentially put blacks on voter plantations and you only have yourselves to blame.

What are you guys talking about “gun control”? I suppose more Fox News/GOP fear-mongering. To own and possess a gun in Detroit you have to have apply for a license. If you call prohibiting felons, illegal aliens, and mentally unstable people from buying guns, “gun control”, then maybe it’s not such a bad idea. What’s wrong with having to pass a test that says you know from which end the bullets come out? Of course you can circumvent the license application if you have a state of federal CCW license. But then you still have to prove that you are smarter than a 5th grader AND know from which end of the pistol the bullets come.

Personally, I feel a little safer knowing the 3 time DUI convict and wife-beater down the street can’t legally buy a gun. (BTW, the guy still thinks GW Bush did a good job). Then again, the gun laws in this country have been so shot full of holes, that 99 percent of enforcement comes after someone’s kid has been killed by someone too stupid to own a gun.

I’m originally from Mount Clemens (Clinton Township). My parents still live there. I currently live in Ann Arbor.

But recently, a body was “found” frozen in the basement of an apartment building. The residents knew about the body, some even called police who did nothing. It wasn’t until a journalist from the Detroit Free Press pressured the authorities to remove the body that something was done. He had to call several times and an article was written about it.

I could tell more stories, but they’re all unbelievable. Sadly, this used to be a very beautiful, rich city. It very quickly went to hell.

This has been going on since the 80s. It has been a train wreck in slow motion, thanks to Reaganomics and the deceased mayor Coleman A. Young.

After the riots in 1967, there was something called the “White Flight” to the northern suburbs of Warren, Fraser, Royal Oak, etc. This hurt Detroit’s ability to attract new business, but it was still doing well because people were buying cars.

Coleman Young managed to divide the suburbs and the city along 8 Mile Road. Consider that, and then add to it the weakening of the UAW, and the table was set for what we have seen over the past 25 years in Detroit.

Yes, the people of Detroit will almost always vote Democratic, because there are so few Republicans that can succeed there. Rev. Keith Butler tried several times to run for mayor, and he never really captured Detroit’s hearts.

East Side of Detroit (Grosse Pointe)(no jokes about Grosse Pointe Blank, please) born and bred myself. Same stories to tell and much the same feelings about the place today. Unfortunately I still have some family in the area, way out in the North suburbs, but they tell me the rot is reaching out to them as well. Really too bad that a city with such a rich history and heritage is crumbling like this. I wonder what the Fords, Fishers, Dodges and other car founding families would say about the place today.

Anyway you moron, the women resident that was in the video was not black so I suspect that it was a mixed racial community.
