DETROIT — The last time there was a white mayor of Detroit, the Vietnam War was just ending and the nation was getting used to a Supreme Court decision called Roe vs. Wade.

But now this city, which is in the midst of a trial to determine whether it is eligible for bankruptcy protection, is set to elect its first white mayor since 1974, Mike Duggan, and by an overwhelming margin. Recent polls show Duggan up by a nearly 2-1 margin over his opponent, Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon, in a city that is 82% African American.

Of course. This way they can blame the Detroit mess on whitey.

LOL... “Porgy, Porgy, you’re a white man, you got to help us!”

So Detroit is about to elect a white mayor. The city’s decline accelerated beginning in 1974, when Detroiters elected a red mayor.

Perhaps he just looks white but actually has the soul of a black criminal thug

[Starboard]

Bring in a White Mayor now and you can blame HIM for the sins of the last 40 years

Exactly. Elect a fall guy to take on the role of scapegoat. Then its right back to progressivism.

[SunkenCiv]

Well put.

Proof that democrats are an infection and not a party.

Thanks for the insider’s explanation. What do you think Detroit would need to come back to even a shadow of itself?
