The Democrat candidate has outpolled the Republican candidate in Oakland Co. the last five Presidential elections.
According to Wikipedia, the county was 77% white in 2010 and 13.6% black (about the same as the national averge).
I think the Democrats' long-term goal is to create metro-area governments that can take money from the suburbs to subsidize the central city. Then the only escape will be to live way out in the country.

Detroit's been corrupt for eons, on overdrive during prohibition, but a renaissance of corruption occurred in the 1960s.
The first black mayor deliberately drove out whites in order to make his voters the overwhelming majority. His primary adviser was a [black] card carrying communist.
To: walford
a perfect trifecta!
an idiot, a racist, and a communist
all rolled into one little package!

Yup. One of the scams.
Its implicitly racist - they seem to be saying that Black people can’t succeed unless whites are nearby.
Imagine saying that outloud at an NFL game....
To: walford
Those inconsiderate greedy, racist whites!
They wouldn’t stay around and let the Gibs-Me-Dats and other bums and moochers strip them of their wealth and resources.

Kwame Kilpatrick and his fellow travelers are responsible for the condition of Detroit.
Kwame was merely a successor to Soulman Young who began the war against whitey....

Mr. Reich, you are correct. When a society values hard work and obeying the law, we prosper. When we value the opposite society ends up with Detriot!
Now the problem is Libs keep punishing success and rewarding failure.
So now boys and girls how do we solve the problem of Detroit?

University of California-Berkeley leftist Professor Robert Reich also overlooked sentient thinking.
To: walford
And if the people from Oakland County would move back into Detroit and civilize it one block at a time, the same people would be howling that gentrification is destroying the culture of Detroit.
Personally, I think it is Windsor's and Essex County's fault. Blame Canada!

There's no such thing as personal responsibility within the black communities, is there? Its always someone else’s fault.
To: walford
Find me a large American city run by liberals that is not a mess.
Democrats throw up large housing project just to warehouse their voters, never doing anything to help them get out of there. Pay them chump change, food stamps, crummy schools and tell them white America Republicans did this to them. And that’s just a fraction of the story of democrats.

“wealthier and whiter Americans escape the costs of public goods they would otherwise share with poorer and darker Americans”
And these “public goods” would accomplish what, exactly?
Since whiter Americans started “sharing” with darker Americans in 1965, the condition of those darker Americans has worsened, radically.
