In 2004 the assault weapons ban from Clinton in 1995 was repealed  by George W. Bush. Since then killings by assault rifles has skyrocketed. Republicons and Neo-Nazis have so much blood on their hands. Only in America.

He has no care unless it's a white conservative.  Under Biden we've had black mass shootings, black school shootings, asian mass shootings against asians, transgender school shootings...................and not one word from OneFooter.

It was 2010 when the conservative far right wing SCOTUS ruled elected officials don't have to represent those that elected them but they can represent those that are paying them. A Supreme Court led by Clarence and Ginni Thomas out of Confederate Georgia. 

Neo-Nazi Gmcarroll33 says he's very proud of Clarence and Ginni Thomas.

You never miss a chance to take a shot at a decent conservative black person do you OneFooter?  Your racist ways and beliefs are loud and clear here.  Personally I think it's obvious that you're just mad he married a white woman.

Why are weapons of war allowed on American streets.  Guns are the #1 cause of death for children and adolescents in America.  

Neo-Nazis are all about banning abortions,  books, drag shows and in the Confederate south women can't grill.

Andy Ogles the Neo-Nazi congressman that is supposed to be representing the people of Nashville says protecting every American's 2nd amendment right is more important than protecting the lives of children.  Andy Ogles says there is nothing he can do except offer his thoughts and prayers and oppose common sense gun laws. 

Neo-Nazi Marjorie Traitor Greene says the Jews caused the wildlife out west and America doesn't own enough guns. Need to increase the percentage of gun ownership in America, the Nazi says.

Neo-Nazi Gmcarroll33 says he's very proud of Marjorie Traitor Greene.

I saw a report that 26 burger kings are closing in Michigan, almost all in detroit. I wonder why?

You would think that a major metro area like that would have plenty of burger eaters.

Detroit was one of the richest cities in the world  and the richest in the US until the blacks moved in post WW11 and ruined it.

Chapter 1:Detroit was once the richest city in America, what happened and why?

Detroit, in the 1950s, was THE richest city in the US, and some say it was the richest city in the world. So how is it is that from being the richest city Detroit is now one of the poorest cities?

1. White flight: In the 50s it was 84% white and highly segregated. In the 1940s the whites in the city even built a wall to separate the blacks and the whites. The city was redlined and blacks and whites lived segregated lives. When the blacks from the south started to migrate up to Detroit, the blacks were cramped into tighter and tighter quarters. After the passage of the Civil Rights Bill the blacks wanted more power over city governance and there was a continuing power struggle between the blacks and the whites. Coleman Young became the first black mayor in 1974. The 1967 Riots and the election of Coleman Young accelerate the white flight out of the city. Today Detroit is approx. 80% black.

With the whites went wealth, the income base, and the jobs. Even the blacks who had made it to the middle class left for the suburbs. Those left behind in Detroit were the least well educated and the poorest. (https://archive.nytimes.com/.../17/us/detroit-decline.html

https://mlpp.org/from-redlining-to-subprime-lending-new.../).

The riot’s carnage focused a spotlight on the city’s problems beyond race and police-community relations, and put an almost immediate end to the heroic narrative of the can-do car capital. As violence flared and the hemorrhaging of people and jobs continued into the 1970s, a new national storyline about Detroit gradually developed — that of an urban dystopia — and in popular culture, the once-proclaimed “Arsenal of Democracy” took on a number of derisive nicknames: “America’s first Third World city,” Beirut, Baghdad, Bosnia, Chernobyl, and Murder City. “Will the last person in Detroit please turn off the lights?” went a national saying in that era. (https://www.freep.com/.../30/detroit-67-riot-race/512977001/)

2. Jobs: Starting in the 70s to the 90s there was a sharp decline in automotive production. Factory jobs were the path to the middle class for the poor, especially the blacks, and these jobs disappeared. Detroit did not plan ahead with investments in other industries to replace the jobs the city was losing. Thus there were fewer and fewer jobs to be had in Detroit. Unemployment increased and Detroit became an impoverished city with the highest poverty rate in the country.

3. Declining tax base: With a sharp decline in the tax base there was little money to go around for education, city repair, policing. The diminished tax base could not support a flourishing retail sector. Stores shut down. Urban blight followed.

Detroit at its peak had 1.8 million residents. A million of these residents left. Leaving behind empty homes, empty structures, and spaces. The city did not have the money for the upkeep of these properties and spaces. Urban blight was the result.

4. Drugs and guns: With few jobs, a poor education system, and unemployment reaching 40%, the youth in Detroit had no prospects for regular jobs, they turned to drugs as a business (free enterprise). Most of their customers were whites from the surrounding suburbs. Drugs were a lucrative business and rival gangs formed. The gangs had easy access to guns and the gang wars began. The drug trade went from heroin to crack cocaine.

Most of the violent crimes were black on black.

5. Ghettos: Many areas of Detroit are like ghettos now. The poverty level in these areas is higher than 40% and the unemployment rate is close to 60%. little education, have no social skills necessary for being assimilated into “normal” society, they are trapped in this culture. Detroit has lost two generations of youth to this culture.

(Sixty percent (60%) of all of Detroit’s children are living in poverty. Fifty percent of the population has been reported to be functionally illiterate. Thirty-three percent (33%) of Detroit’s 140 square miles is vacant or derelict. Eighteen percent (18%) of the population is unemployed. And 10.6% of Detroit’s 713,777 residents, according to the 2010 U.S. Census, considered themselves white.)

6. Policing: After 1967, Detroit police engaged in several well-publicized violent encounters with black citizens that further raised the racial temperature in the city.

In 1971 the Detroit police unveiled its newest crime-fighting tool — the STRESS unit, an undercover decoy operation, Stop the Robberies, Enjoy Safe Streets. Within months, STRESS officers had killed 10 suspects; nine were black, and critics called it an “assassination squad.”

In December 1972, three young black Detroiters, described by supporters as anti-dope vigilantes, wounded STRESS officers in a wild shootout. Three weeks later, amid an intensive and wildly divisive manhunt, STRESS cops encountered the three suspects and exchanged shots again. This time, one Detroit cop was killed and another was left paralyzed. Police Commissioner John Nichols called the suspects “mad dog killers,” and police kicked in doors across black Detroit. Innocent citizens died in the police dragnets, and tensions between the police department and the black community reached the breaking point. (Echos of today).

7. Laws and their unintended consequence: It all started in 1934, when the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) was founded. The FHA signed into law the process of “redlining,” the act of denying loans and financial services to black neighborhoods while granting them for white neighborhoods. This widened the economic gap between races to a whole new level. Blacks were denied the opportunity to build wealth through homeownership, a big part of the wealth accumulation of the middle-class whites in Detroit.

The neighborhood of Wyoming was a redlined black neighborhood for nearly a decade until the early 1940s when developers wanted to build a white development in the area. They were denied by the FHA because their plan placed the white neighborhood “too close” to the black neighborhood.

Thinking quickly, the developers responded by building a half-mile long wall directly in between Mendota Street and Birwood Avenue for a full three blocks. This was enough to be given the nod of approval from the U.S. government. The wall was the official racial divider for over 20 years until the Fair Housing Act abolished such racist policies in 1968.

8. Power Struggle: The transfer of power from a “white” Detroit to a “black” Detroit was fraught with power struggle. The city suffered while the white and black leaders fought for power. Blacks were led by charismatic leaders such as Cockrell (a Marxist) who was interested in radical policies and less in governing. In 1974 Coleman Young became the first black mayor. He had no illusion about the city he was left to run.“I was taking over the administration of Detroit because the white people didn’t want the damn thing anymore,”

The election of a black man as mayor of Detroit was the final straw for many white Detroiters, though clearly not everyone who moved to the suburbs did so because of the new mayor. In 2010, the census showed 55,604 whites remaining out of a population of 713,777, which continues to drop, though at a much slower pace than previously. In 1950, Detroit had 1.5 million white residents out of a total population of about 1.85 million.

Tnx for posting. I knew about the white flight but not as much. This article is very detailed.

people isolate detroit, but the same thing has happened to large parts of milwaukee, chicago, cleveland, kansas city, st louis, etc

detroit just has so much land area so it seems worse

there isn't a single city anywhere in the country that has gotten better with more "diversity"... yet it's somehow racist to point out that the more blacks in an area, the more unsafe and filthy it is

73% of black people in milwaukee are born to unmarried parents, and somewhere around 1/2 don't even graduate high school or know how to read

"We must protect the children.  I will be banning books and drag shows". Anti wokester Neo-Nazi fascist Ron Defascist. 

Check out Ron Defascist record in Florida.  It's horrible. Especially when it comes to Healthcare. Horrible.  Highest infant mortality rate. Lowest life expectancy per capita.  One of ten states that doesn't offer expanded Medicaid. Ron Defascist just doesn't care about the poor or minorities. Why the Neo-Nazis across America love him.

Check you voter registrations because Republicons are purging voter rolls like there's no tomorrow.  Part of Jim Crow 2.0 in the Confederate south. 

How many innocent black people did Neo-Nazi Ron Defascist arrest for voter fraud and march in front of TV cameras prior to the 2022 elections. The voter suppression tactic worked, 2022 black vote in Florida was extremely low.  I'm sure WVU or Rdalert447 can confirm.
