Well said...0bummer doesn’t have time to comment on that issue but he sure does have the time to comment on a basketball team owner allegedly making racist comments.

I wish Detroit's Charlie LeDuff would get a national show. He does old school journalism and isn't afraid of asking tough questions no matter who they are.

A beating in Detroit

But leaders nationally and in Detroit stayed curiously silent. A medical fund was established for Mr. Utash, but it took more than a week to convene a vigil for him as he lay in a coma. Until that vigil not even Mike Duggan — the first elected white mayor of Detroit in 40 years — made a public appearance about it. (Though he did put out a press release and a tweet.) Nor did any City Council person that I’m aware of. And nothing from President Obama. Rage and hopelessness are no excuses here. All Detroit, whether black or white, noticed the silence.
