The race-pimps will NEVER allow racial harmony, for them, the instigating media, and the democratic party......it's bad for business.
We would attend Detroit Symphony Orchestra performances, go to a Tigers, Lions Red Wing game. Enjoy the event and get the hell ouit of the downtown area as soon as possible. The ONLY reason to go downtown might have been to eat at Greek town...and then get outta there!!!!
Funny thing. I visited Israel and for as much as the media play it up as a war zone, I was 100% safer at 2 AM in the streets of Tel Aviv than in Detroit. I was amazed to see people window shopping, eating is restaurants, old people playing checkers with their grandchildren in a central square and of course, armed soldiers on leave. What a contrast! Safer in Tel Aviv than Detroit. I said to my friend, “These people are not normal, what are they doing out at this hour”???? As it turns out, it was me, a Detroiter who was used to abnormal living conditions...
Pathetic, really but can you blame folks for not wanting to go there. It was a mess in 1968 until today and now...it's even worse, hard to believe.
I forgot about the impending busing issue. I lived about a block from my junior high ( I lived inside of Southfield and 6 Mile) and was going to be bused miles away. There was also a teacher strike in the fall of 67 related to the busing issue if I remember correctly. We left Detroit in February of 1968 and have been back very rarely. You’re right, my parents also got to experience a Detroit that does not exist.
