“Black culture sucks on a massive scale.. it poisons everything it touches..”

Think about those cities that are “dead”, or “dying”.

Then, consider their demographic makeups.

Once, cities were centers of manufacturing _and_ culture. With current demographics, how can many of them ever reclaim either of these?

These same cities now serve as “containers” for large cohorts of “the entitlement classes”. Perhaps this may become their only funtional future.

Should we really care how bad Detroit is within its city limits, so long as we can keep those social ills reasonably confined to within such limits?

In all of the cities mentioned in the article, the dying came before the demographic concentration. But, yes, the demographics plus all the other problems of dead and dying cities will make it hard to turn things around.

Back when people cared about their cities, the cities weren't dead.
