The Detroit Zoo was a gift to the City by the Detroit Zoological Society.
Since they cannot run it properly it should be given back.

"The symbolism is that Detroit is a black city and that we’re unable to govern ourselves.
Actually the problem is the fact that it's a liberal city.

"Council member Martha Reeves said, "Whoever runs the zoo should have an understanding with the city council. And it was not clear what the actual agreement was, it was never completed.""
What kind of "understanding"? There is something fishy afoot. The use of terms like that with zero explanation sends up some red flags.

"...their vote was not to close the zoo, but some felt they were being bullied by a state deadline and lawmakers who look down on Detroit. "B/c they're a chocolate city, of course.

"That is a racist attitude. I resent it very much. I’m trying not to let it color my judgments, but we’re not a plantation, blacks aren’t owned by white folks anymore," said Collins. Okay, let's take away all money from whitey business and let's see how well you do on your own...
What a POS. If the blacks are so well to do, why don't you get rid of whitey and you can do what you want with YOUR money. And the Zoo deserves better care...it's out in the burbs...

They don't need a zoo - you can walk down a Detroit city street and see animals for free...

I think that the Council woman Ms. Martha Reeves should get her group the Vanelles to join in with a chorus of "I'll Have To Let Him Go" in a council Meeting to make her point!

The Detroit Lions need to be turned over to a more capable group, too.

Yes you are, but the councils is da massa.
