Look a the "growth" curve for whites in Detroit before and after the 1967 Race Riots. Almost exactly 50% of all whites left, each and every decade, for 5 consecutive decades afterwards. 1 million, then 500k, then 250k, then 125k, then 60k whites in the city limits from 1970 to 2010.

Baltimore was allowed by it's own mayor to riot freely and without consequence. This isn't rocket science.

When I a see pictures of those abandoned houses and empty lots in Detroit I think about all the sad stories that are behind them. Every empty house is a tragedy for a family that was forced to leave because a racist black mayor didn’t care about white residents. Many thousands of average income people lost the value of their homes which was their biggest investment. How many people had to leave the homes where they raised their families? How many people had to leave the neighborhood where they grew up, where their parents and grandparents grew up? Black people are always talking about their “communities”, well white people have “communities” too. We are always supposed feel sorry for what black people have gone through but compassion goes both ways.
