I want to survive, therefore I must be racist to avoid SE DC.
Bingo!
Yes it's interesting how wanting to avoid being murdered is a racist thing. Shows just how bad it is when people are having their deceased relatives moved to safer cemeteries.
taking route 50 from college park to downtown d.c isn't much better. Adams morgan where the rent is high in northwest d.c still has plenty of crime.
Herein lies the key.
Detroit (or anywhere else) is permanently beyond hope so long as the instinct for survival is dismissed as a character or cultural fault.
We seem to have a fatal cultural problem similar to islam. Only in a totalitarian state can you force large groups to expose themselves to mayhem and murder for a "higher" goal, be that goal saving a city or saving a subculture.
First the subculture must save itself. Expecting the rest of the universe to sacrifice their most vulnerable, the youngest and the oldest, in order to save a city, or even a neighborhood, is a hopeless task. And forget asking for volunteers. You will always get a few, the dimmest of the dim, to try but the results will always be the same.
A mindset that requires the conscious sacrifice of lives is simply not going to happen. The word "hopeless" continues to exist for a reason.
Some things are hopeless.
When you remove your dead so you do not go back that says something. And it is not positive.
This isn't about racism, it's about crime. Until the left overcomes their "racism" mantra to explain away anything that they can't fix with socialism, they will condemn their ethnic constituents to remain poor and in the ghettoes. Poverty is not the cause of crime, crime is the cause of poverty. From the street corner to City Hall.
