I live in Michigan, about 25 miles from Detroit and have been here for the past 5 years - I've been to Detroit proper exactly twice in that time and I have no plans to go as far into the future as I can see - And the reason has absolutely nothing to do with racism and everything to do with concern for safety and values.
Hey Brits, welcome to our world. And dont be surprised how they treat their 'new home'.
Started here in Cleveland in 1973 when busing, legislated from the bench, was shoved down the Clevelanders' throats. Sitting by idly while one's kids sat up to two hours on buses going across town before AND after school didn't set too well with thousand of families. And having their children shunned and beat up at a distant school didn't set well either. But an incredibly huge bureaucracy was created of bus driver, bus monitors, bus mechanics, race-baiting attorneys, etc.
Cleveland has never recovered from that idiotic damage. Good luck, Britain.
If it wasn't for the racial makeup of Detroit, you wouldn't have concerns for safety and values.
