When's the last time you heard from the self-appointed leaders of the black community like Sharpton, Jackson, Farakkan, and the Congressional Black Causcus, or any other racist civil rights leaders talking the truth? They perpetuate the black victimhood while Conservative blacks promote personal values and are productive. I so admire young and older blacks who just say NO. "I will not be a victim and I will build something with my life." Good Anmericans, all.

There have been vast improvements in Detroit but it takes time. They started at the center and are slowly working toward the edges where its worst.
Within the city limits, the closer you live to downtown the better it is. As you move outward toward the city limits the people become much more institutionalized almost like lifelong prison inmates. Total reliance is all they know.
