Decades? Detroit was destroyed by the ‘67 riots. It never really came back. What was a somewhat mixed race city became a no-go zone for whites.
Upshot of all this Bravo Sierra over time will be whites again refusing to live or play in areas with more than a token number of blacks. Except this time I expect fewer people will couch it in politically correct terminology.
Heckuva job, Barky.
I have 2 UM degrees, one from the mid-70’s. Most of the white kids who said they were from Detroit had actually moved out of the city after the riots. We only went in to Cobo and other music venues.
My late husband’s people are from Dexter; our son went up every summer. Being of Greek background, the only place they would take him in Detroit was to Greektown.
I feel sorry for Detroit. I have quite a collection of pictures of abandoned Detroit. It was a great city once, but the Dims, unions, and non-producers destroyed it.
