"The Dems" in charge in places like Detroit are other blacks. Black choose the leaders they want, and yes, they have picked a bunch of terrible people, repeatedly in one city after another that they are in the majority in.
I don't think people are "condemned to live" in black-run hell holes. There are many many equal housing laws - if you can qualify to live in a nice apartment they are not going to reject you because you are black. The penalties for that are too huge, and most white people WANT to prove they are not racist and give black people every break they can.
The sad facts are that many, many blacks have things like multiple evictions, felony convictions, outstanding arrest warrants and other factors that make it hard for them to get "out of the projects".
On both an individual and collective level blacks need to look in the mirror and solve their own problems. The days when "the man" was keeping them down are long gone. In fact, looking around "the man" is a black dude!

You're right on the above Jack - but there was a time before massive welfare, urban renewal and liberals ' 60's type ideas' became entrenched that the best of the black community could have been saved. Maybe 30 years from now when the United States is balkanized into warring ethnic third world groups that were not assimilated we'll look back with the same regret at an opportunity missed.
