More than 100 urban U.S. cities “are having the same problems we’re having,” Mr. Bing said. “We may be one of the first. We are the largest. But we absolutely will not be the last. And so we have got to set a benchmark in terms how to fix our cities.”

Mr. Bing, you and your people need to look in the mirror and examine the content of your characters. The same thing needs to be done in the more than 100 urban U.S. cities with the same problem. When less than 50% of your kids graduate high school, and most that do graduate are still illiterates, then you will have problems competing. While immigrants (legal or not) may not always be well educated, they are willing to work their butts off. Mr. Bing, your people are lazy. Combine that with ignorance and an entitlement mentality and no one wants to be around you and your people. Throw in your gangs of thugs, drugs, crime and violence then you have even more people that do not want to be around you and your people. That is why people have left Detroit and are leaving 100's of urban cities. Keep you hands off my wallet and may you learn your lesson by wallowing in your own filth.

AMEN.

I really hate to sound blunt, but in the end, the Black community has been let down the actions of their own political leaders--too many of whom are sympathetic to Blacks who have a "Kill whitey!" attitude. Go look at the actions of Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton or the words of the religious leaders at the churches President Obama attended before becoming President like Jeremiah Wright--pretty scary, to say the least. Blacks used to be applauded for making jazz music popular and the early development of rock and roll music; now, hip-hop music, especially gangsta rap, is turning off way too many people.

In short, the Black community has nobody but themselves to blame for creating many urban problems.
