You bring up an excellent point. You analogy does extend to Canada, too, but on a much larger scale. Canadians desiring more and better opportunities are emigrating from Canada to the U.S., just like 'white flight' from liberal U.S. cities to the suburbs. There is little opportunity for carrer advancement under socialism and under the branch plant economy of Canada, so talented Canadians, like me, flock to the U.S. If the U.S. increased permanent immigration from Canada, there wouldn't be many people left and you would have an entire country resembling Detroit!
OF COURSE THEY HAVE LEARNED!!!! They have learned to bully and bluff the white man into pouring more money down the hole of pure irresponsible laziness and crime.
There are MANY MANY educated hard working BLACKS that will tell you the freeloading segment of their race know how to work the system and the White man is intimidated and studpid to let it happen.
Let's all grow up and forget this PC position of not talking facts and truth. I am tired of it. I see our country being ruined by 3rd World immigrants WHO WILL BE TAKING OVER MY GRANDCHILDREN'S country that all the men in my family fought wars for. THESE hyphenated amkericans are ALL LOSERS. They add nothing to our country and we need to speak out.
Sorry but reading about Detroit is so scary because IT IS OUR FUTURE if we all who have any sense, Red, White, Blue, Black don't start standing up and calling these people, these programs the SHAM AND SCAM that they are. Then we might take this country back otherwise this country is going to look like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Dehli, Mexico City and aren't they just lovely, clean, beautiful well run economic boom sites.
The Badlands just keep creeping further and further afield.
THIS is what happens when John Street's liberal Democrat "brothers and sisters" are in charge.
Ah, someone who's missed the PC re-education camps; don't worry, they'll be coming for you shortly. Hint: PC catechism dictates that decisions to reside and/or associate are not based on economics, family, schools, safety, etc; they are based on race avoidance.
No kidding, we have to keep moving further and further north to get away from the "inner-city blight". Pretty soon the Upper Penninsula will be the suburbs of Detroit.
How many crimes have occurred in Detroit's cemeteries, I wonder?
The ol' charge "racism" is wheeled out for the billionth time. It's as hokey as the charge of "witch" was in Salem, but this is the best liberalism can do, and look at what it produces.
"White flight" left blacks in charge of blacks and Detroit turned to crap.
"...Crime is high and so are taxes
Another connection to the population loss that they seem unable to make!..."
Detroit is what Memphis, Tn is becoming. If the voters keep re-electing King Willie Herenton mayor, the citizens that can will leave Memphis for area with less crime and lower taxes. That is already happening. Herenton is real estate agents dream. Desoto, Marshall, and Tunica counties in north Mississippi ar booming with ex-Memphians voting with their feet getting away from Willie World. As for Detroit, if the politicians running it weren't so corrupt, it would be a nice place to live. Political corruption and crime rates seem to go hand in hand. We have it here in Memphis.
Now is the time for government to sieze land in the interest of economic growth. Don't wait for the property owner's okay. Like NIKE says, "Just do it."
The city looks that bad, but you'd be very hard pressed to find that many white people anywhere in the city. Not being racist about it, there just aren't any, and as a young white man, I got a lot of sidelong glances whenever I'd visit.
My brother live in MI. Their neighbor is a women who grew up in detroit in the 1950's and 60's. Her parents sold their home in the late '70's or early 80's due to crime and moved to the suburbs.
She said she always cries when she goes back to look at her childhood home every so often. She said it was a wonderful place to grow up in and very safe with wonderful memories.
Excellently portrayed in the film "The Crow" (circa 1994, starring the late Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee's son, who you may remember was killed during filming by a bullet fragment mistakenly left in a stunt gun.)
Atlanta/Fulton County/DeKalb County (all democrat/blue county black hole of government money and misuse and corruption) charges city taxes as well.
Quote: "Suburbanites are taking the bodies of their relatives out of cemeteries because they're afraid to come to the city," Vogel said. "There are about 400 to 500 hundred (being moved) a year which shows you the depth of racism and fear."
My brother has a client is one of the bad areas of detroit-small manufacturing comnpany. The business has no windows and has a fence around it like fort knox. They always tell him to come see them in the morning hours like 8:000-9:00 and too be out of the area by 12:00 before the populace starts waking up.
>Lead in bricks?<< Creeping in through windows?
Sounds like Jethro Tull lyrics.
They need more liberalism.
Parts of Philadelphia are horrendous. I took a SEPTA train to visit the City Zoo and passed thru extended areas of the worst slums I've seen. Nearest stop to zoo was about two blocks down from the zoo and honest to heaven, I wished I had a gun or baseball bat for protection, it was so scary. Buildings that looked like the bomb had dropped. I was glad I had a friend with me, but we both felt antsy.
