In the 50's and into the 60's Detroit was one of the most prosperous cities on earth.

And then came Rat Party rule.

In August 2017, the cities will burn themselves again.

Lesson learned?

Liberal/progressive policies destroy families, neighborhoods and cities.

2banana’s Law:

Long term democrat rule + public unions + free sh*t army = misery, ruin and bankruptcy

At a time when almost no whites would remain in neighborhoods with a significant black population, and when there were significant differences in the mores and culture of blacks and whites, this was inevitably going to be problematic.

Hogwash. I grew up at this time in several mixed neighborhoods - Detroit, Lincoln Park - and everyone got along fine.

It was southern Illinois, later in life, that taught me how hateful and racist blacks could be.

I was about four years old. I remember riding in my mom’s car on the freeway and seeing an armored personnel carrier drive by.

I knew there were riots but probably had no idea what that meant.

My dad worked in the riot zone and didn’t go to work that day.

Remember good ole double speak. What a nice way to try to say something but not say it.

The Newark,NJ riots are 50 years old as well.

Newark still hasn’t recovered.

This event was the tipping point.

Detroit never recovered from the riots.

As poster 2 said - Detroit was a prosperous city.

After the riots it became a 150 square mile ghetto into which the state and federal government threw away a couple billion dollars.

And it is still going on.

Black Power A Done Deal

Scurrilous Commentary by Fred Reed

October 30, 2014

"It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive,
most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics."

"Yet they do."

"Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can't do. Their power seems without limit."

"Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set
to suit them, as must be examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police forces.

Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not remotely qualified,
where departments of Black Studies must be established to please them.
Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions
but on whether they have the right number of blacks."

"Do laws requiring identification to vote threaten to end multiple voting?
The laws must go.
Do blacks not like Confederate flags?
Adieu, flags.
Does Huckleberry Finn go down the Mississippi with the Nigger Jim, or Conrad write The Nigger of the Narcissus?
These must be banned or expurgated to please blacks who haven’t read them or, usually, heard of them.
Do we want to prevent people coming from regions infested with Ebola from entering the United States?
We cannot.
It would offend blacks."

"We must never, ever say or do anything that might upset them, as virtually everything does.
It is positively astonishing.
One expects the rich and smart to have disproportionate power. But America is dominated from the slums."

One might think that a single set of laws should apply to all citizens, and that things should be done without regard to race, creed, color, sex, or national origin, and that all should have the same rights and responsibilities. It is not so.

The dominance of the media by blacks is impressive. If a white shoots a black to defend himself, it becomes national news for weeks, or months, and riots follow, but when blacks engage in their unending racial attacks on whites, the media demurely look the other way. The attackers are never black. They are “teens.” Reporters who say otherwise are likely to be fired. In effect, the thirteen percent censor the national press.

Much of their mastery has become so deeply engrained as no longer to be noticed. There is the DC Bob. In the bars and restaurants of Washington, a man weary of an incompetent affirmative-action hire in his office will, before commenting to a friend, lean forward, lower his voice, and look furtively over both shoulders to see whether anyone might overhear: The DC Bob. People don’t even know that they are doing this.

Defensive behavior by whites has become nearly universal. A sort of Masonic recognition-ritual occurs among white people recently introduced in social gatherings. Is the other person, for want of better terms, a liberal or a realist? Dare one speak? One of them will say something mildly skeptical about, say, Jesse Jackson. The other rolls his eyes in shared disgust. The secret handshake. Or, if the listener is politically correct, the bait is not taken. In either case, blacks dominate political conversation.

Interestingly, there's a very likely chance once-liberal cities may not be so liberal anymore.

Detroit has finally admitted the mess left by Coleman Young and Kwame Kilpatrick and finally taking steps to transform itself to a city based on cross-border trade with Canada, especially with the start of construction of the Gordie Howe International Bridge. And New York City may not re-elect Bill de Blasio, especially since he's partially responsible for the collapse of the New York City subway system, a means of transport used by many New Yorkers.

There was also a race riot in Detroit in June, 1943 that was almost as bad. In two days of rioting, 34 were killed.

Forty-three people, many of them innocent bystanders, were killed.

There are “innocent bystanders” at a riot? Yeah right.

And the “SOUL BROTHER” sign appeared in windows as a plea to not burn and loot our store! We is with you all.

One of my favorite cartoons at that time was of a fat white man cleaning his double barrel shotgun. His wife says..”For Heavens sakes Harold, can’t we just put a SOUL BROTHER sign in the window like everyone else?”

Lesson not learned:

Two groups of people who have significantly different AVERAGE IQs and whose members are easily identified as belonging to one group or the other, cannot peacefully coexist together.

A shoot to kill order should have been issued to deal with rioters, arsonists, and looters. It might have changed such antics in the future.

Riots can be stopped, and prevented, by authorities willing to deploy overwhelming force.

So can wars.
