Plenty of productive blacks fled too. One of my neighbors says that’s when his dad packed up and got his family out.
Detroit Denby Class of 67 here. Could smell the smoke from the central business distict all the way on the East Side. Crazy thieving Amish burned down there own businesses and neighborhoods. This WAS the beginning of the demise of Detroit.
I remember Walther Ruether promising to rebuild Detroit with the UAW. Bullsh!t on that!!!
White Flight and smart middle class Amish got out too.
All that was left was welfare mamas, ho’s, murdering thieves, and socialist DemoRATS.
My beloved Detroit is Gone with the Wind!!!
How many places in the world that have a majority of blacks and success has followed? South Africa? Detroit?
