Detroit: Bankrupt Black City to Pay Reparations to Itself
Sultan Knish ^ | May 07, 2023 | Daniel Greenfield

While the eyes of the nation are on San Francisco’s proposal to pay every black person $5 million in reparations for an estimated total cost of $175 billion, Motor City won’t be left behind.

Last year, 80% of Detroit voters in a 78% black city cast their ballots in support of a reparations commission. That was much higher than 63% poll numbers but local election results tend to outperform the polls due to the civic work of the Wayne County Cemetery Voters Association.

Chairwoman Lauren Hood of the Detroit City Planning Commission said that she didn’t know who the 20% were, but assumed it was maybe newcomers to the city or non-black residents.

But with a 78% black majority, Detroit would be taking money from black people to pay reparations to other black people with the government, run by a white mayor, taking a cut.

I worked for 15 years in SE Michigan; retired and fled in 2009. If you'd asked me then how crazy Detroit might become, I would never have said it would be as crazy as this.

The plan is simple! Bankrupt the city so that the State and Federal governments have to bail it out. Therefore, no local tax payments are involved and everybody there gets a free ride.

You’ve gotta love our thirteen percent. There is nothing like them anywhere.

‘the Wayne County Cemetery Voters Association’ accounts for 20% of the pro vote.

Detroit is a toilet, and Chicago is following in its footsteps.

The Bears are leaving downtown to the suburbs. I suspect the White Sox will do the same.

The Bears are huge. When they leave everyone leaves.

I’m sure that money will be invested, or spent wisely.

Instead give them a one way ticket to Zambeziland and tell them that they could be a king or queen there.

I think it's time we pay up and give them what they're due. We could just print some $5 million bills.

If you self-identify as a Black-San Franciscan will “They” mail you your check?

If there were only two blacks left in the world one of them would be demanding reparations.

I’m surprised that they aren’t looking up EVERY white person who ever lived in Detroit from the 1940’s-1970’s, hunt them down and then SHAKE them down for reparations’.

By then… it’s still early…

Sure there is.

Just look south of the Sahara Desert all the way to the Cape of Good Hope. (Not that north of the Sahara has a lot to boast about …)

For sheer naked corruption and greed, it’s tough to beat SubSaharan Africa.
Although, as mentioned in the beginning of the article, the California reparations committee’s recommendations are giving them a good run for their money. Talk about delusional …

Yes, I know there are a lot, a lot, of good persons in Africa struggling to build decent lives amid the chaos. More’s the pity.
