I've been to Flint. I doesn't only have black citizens.

I lived there. At the time Flint had a white Mayor. In 1991 he was defeated by a black Mayor. His corrupt and incompetent management led to state oversight, and he was removed from office in a recall election in 2002.

After being removed he got a local radio talk show where he railed everyday about the "racist recall". He parlayed that into getting elected a County Commissioner, and he is currently in the Michigan House of Representatives.

The Mayor he defeated in 1991 is now a successful software executive.
