cruise,
what is lost on you is the generational ignorance that some detroiters wallow in.
I know and that is okay. You have the ignorant and uninformed everywhere.
Do you think TeaBaggers, Rush Limbaugh fans, rednecks, or hillbillies are any better?
Yet, whites make a place for them because they are white.
there is a difference between niggas and black folks. some of these niggas out here don't give a damn about what either one of us are talking about. and there is a high concentration of them in the city. they don't give a fuck. i can't help and wont try to help those who don't give a fuck.
this blame whitey shit is old. by now many blacks could have their own shit. but if they are sitting back waiting on whitey to do something they will get nothing but bed sores on their asses. if black folks don't want 'whitey' to take detroit then what are they going to do about it. let the city continue to deteriorate so property values fall even lower.
taxes are high because 900,000 people cant support an infrastruture built for 2,000,000.
insurance is high because niggas steal and destroy.
and black folks are not niggas. when you see a whole neighborhood of fucked up houses and there is one house that is maintained. it usually means that there are some black folks living in a neighborhood surrounded by niggas.
i know a nigga when i see one. and when i see black folks i don't see niggas.
also, i don't know why you think suburbia is all of that. they are dealing with the same issues that detroit is dealing with. foreclosures, school closures, loss of tax revenue, etc.....
So, if the suburbs are struggling, then what are you comparing Detroiters against? Why call Detroiters names you would never call people from Dearborn, or West Bloomfield, or Grosse Pointe if they are no better?
Detroit has good and bad like every city. Don't act like Detroiters are somehow different than anyone else in the world.
My point is there is
TOO MUCH DEPENDENCE ON WHITES in Detroit. WHITES control food, fuel, credit, shopping, employment, the laws, and much more. How is Detroit going to prosper when you have whites able to seize the resources of the city against the resident's wishes?
The whites in state government seized the school system.
The whites in state government disbanded Recorders Court.
The whites in GMAC seized Detroiter's homes.
The whites in GM abandoned factories and fired workers.
The whites in these fast food restaurants are selling cheap meat and heart-attack burgers.
The whites buy property and abandon leading to decay and neglect.
The whites in GM have been blocking mass transit for decades.
Yet, I am supposed to blame some poor wannabe gangster chasing green paper dollars with a white boy's face on it?
When enough Detroiters realize WHITE DEPENDENCE is the problem (and many already do), prosperity will come so fast and be so widespread, you'll wonder why it never happened sooner.
low prices ARE a bad thing if you own that property.
yes it is a buyers market right now. my cousin bought a 400,000 house in farmington hills for 180,000 not too long ago. i am sure the seller would have preferred the 400,000.
Nobody should be getting rich off selling homes. It is a zero-sum game, there is no wealth being created.
This American fantasy that you can make money by speculating in real estate, treating your home like an income supplement, and keeping prices high so they can build yet another energy-sucking, sprawl-spreading, McMansion was always stupid as hell.
Honkeys could indulge in that delusion when they had the resources to waste. Well, the whites in their racist indulgence blew all the abundance they had chasing some whites-only fantasy they couldn't possibly afford to keep.
Detroit's low prices are exactly what it needs. Affordable housing is not a bad thing in a city with people who need housing.
