Detroit: The New South Africa?

Whites Need Not Apply.

[QUOTE]Nowhere is Michigan's brain drain on greater display than in the Detroit City Council chambers.

My hopes for Detroit's future faded as I watched the tape of last Tuesday's council meeting, the one that considered the Cobo Center expansion deal.

It was a tragic circus, a festival of ignorance that confirmed the No. 1 obstacle to Detroit's progress is the bargain basement leaders that city voters elect. The black nationalism that is now the dominant ideology of the council was on proud display, both at the table and in the audience.

Speakers advocating for the deal were taunted by the crowd and cut short by Council President Monica Conyers, who presided over the hearing like an angry bulldog; whites were advised by the citizens to, "Go home." ...

...When he dared suggest that an improved Cobo Center would create more good-paying jobs for union workers, Conyers reminded him, "Those workers look like you; they don't look like me."

Desperate, he invoked President Barack Obama's message of unity and was angrily warned, "Don't yousay his name here."

Your title is really silly.

But the article is wild none the less. That kind of behavior absolutely should not be tolerated in a city council. I hope the citizens of Detroit have more sense in the next election.

id leave detroit its just that simple

there is no future there

I hope Robocop goes and kicks some ass.

But the City council is the biggest joke going. It's an embarrassing situation and it makes the whole area look bad. Hopefully the citizens of Detroit will vote out the idiot council people the next election. There was a ray of light though. In the primary they picked two very good candidates that are level headed and do not act like the some of the council members do. Ken Cockrel and Dave Bing will be facing off to be the next mayor of Detroit.
