Come on man. I get the jist of your point. However, ...

White Folks carried on pretty good after the Tigers won the W.S. in ‘84. I know. I was there. ;) Burning overturned Cop Cars, Chunks of Sod from Tiger Stadium ( Which I got some), The local branch of the Waffen SS cracking heads for Clydesdale's. I believe it also rained. Me and my girl at the time as I remember had a Great Time. Ahh. Detroit.

You are right. I was going to Wayne State University for the 1968 Detroit Tigers victory and in another Michigan city for the 1984 one. All races celebrated and some of them did damage to clean up and caused injuries to treat.

The 1968 victory celebration was often said to have helped heal the wounds of the 1967 riots -—but obviously wasn’t enough back then. Population fell.

In 2003 after the Sox won, the cops in Boston fired bean bags from shotguns near the Fenway. I think it killed one of the kids.
