World Policy Institute offers ideas for attracting immigrants to Detroit
Jun. 24, 2014

The World Policy Institute, a New York think tank, is proposing a two-year project to repopulate and revitalize Detroit using lessons learned from studying other cities throughout the world, such as Nairobi, Kenya, and Lagos, Nigeria.

The think tank announced the project Tuesday at the 2014 Clinton Global Initiative America meeting in Denver, where it is seeking to raise support and funding.

Motor City Project to spur economic growth in northwest Detroit neighborhood

A plan to spur economic growth in a northwest Detroit neighborhood was announced Tuesday during the 2014 Clinton Global Initiative America meeting in Denver.

The Motor City Project will highlight the use of available resources like manpower, vacant land and empty buildings to make the area attractive to potential and current residents seeking to start their own businesses.

It also will help new arrivals work through cumbersome city codes and other red tape to operate home- and neighborhood-based businesses, World Policy Institute Senior Fellow Greg Lindsay said.

Lindsay said zoning rules in many U.S. cities make it difficult for entrepreneurs to operate out of their homes or garages, but such “microenterprises” have been successful in poorer countries.

As part of the project, a so-called Resilience Center will be created to attract “urban homesteaders and migrants from other neighborhoods, cities and countries to relocate to the area,” the World Policy Institute said in a release.

Staff also will work with entrepreneurs to find funding and other support for their ventures.

“We want to create this pop-up community center where we would bring in new arrivals and help them acclimate to their conditions,” Lindsay said.

The two-year project is in the design and development phase and is starting with in-kind contributions. It hopes to expand with partners from the Clinton Foundation’s Clinton Global Initiative. The initiative was establish in 2005 by former President Bill Clinton. It brings together foundations, business and government leaders to develop solutions to challenges impacting people around the world.

We’ve already been paying reparations to blacks. It’s called welfare, food stamps, affirmative action, etc, etc, etc.

The burned our homeplace and all the out buildings including the barn & chicken coops . They stole all our fowl and livestock and took apart and stole our fences . They even pulled the potatoes out of the ground and drank all the whiskey . Who is going to pay me for those losses ,which we shall never forget ?

Fix the problem with transitional justice actions that seek not only to punish, but to encourage a shared historical understanding, begin to repair the damage done, and ensure that it can’t happen again . . . the direct connections between continuing racial disparities in this country and the wrongs that gave rise to them . . . . Sounds like Oprah "There are still generations of older people who were born and breed and marinated in that prejudice and racism and they just have to die" Winfrey.

Remember. Those suffering beatings as a result of the reaction to the lies spread by the MSM employees, academia, and the race-grievance industry should seriously consider civil lawsuits.

As retaliatory assaults accumulate because of MSM, academia, and race-grievance industry lies keep in mind that

I want a pony for my reparations. And pony food stamps too, because ponies are so expensive to feed.

I agree. Every black person or family should be given one hundred grand and plane tickets back to the African country of their choice. With the proviso of no possible return to the U.S. under penalty of death. It would take us many decades to pay that off, but the end result would be well worth it. We’ll start with this ditz of a writer.

You can shower the black underclass with trillions of dollars in “reparations,” but nothing will really change except that black hoodlums will be doing their drive-by shootings from Maseratis and getting drunk on Johnny Walker Blue Label instead of Night Train.

The black underclass can only emerge from the cycle of poverty and crime by developing strong moral codes, a strong work ethic and a desire for learning and self-improvement combined with a rejection of Victicrats—to use a term coined by Larry Elder—such as Belinda Cooper.

This would be the point that everyone stops paying income taxes.

Nice little town you got there bro, be a shame if sumpin happen to it.

Here it is.

Want "reparations"? Fine. Take the check and the one-way ticket to the African Nation of your choice.

Don't come back.

Choose wisely, people are getting sick in some of them.

Sorry, Belinda, but I think we’ve already affirmed the hell out of the situation. There’s just not enough affirming left in the bank.
