On this morning's radio show, Curtis Sliwa launched into a rant about Coleman Young, former Detroit mayor, and indirectly touched on how his tenure relates to black-white issues, Trayvon Martin, and the direction of America.
Curtis stated that under Young's tenure, whites fled Detroit for the suburbs....and Young's message was 'let 'em go...' and that blacks should get guns so that when whitey tried to come back and reclaim neighborhoods, the blacks would be ready for 'em.





I went the net, and found the following.

1. " To his credit, Mayor Coleman Young opposed gun-control laws, but for odd reasons. Remember, when you outlaw guns, only the criminals have them. In “The Quotations of Mayor Coleman A. Young” we find on p. 29 this hilarious quote, On why he refuses to support local anti-gun laws:

“I’ll be damned if I’m going to let them collect guns in the city of Detroit while we’re surrounded by hostile suburbs and the whole rest of the state who have guns, and where you have vigilantes practicing Ku Klux Klan in the wilderness with automatic weapons.”
Oh that loquacious late Coleman Young, never laconic when it comes to expressing his hatred of whitey."

a. And why must Black people always believe that a white-sheet wearing bogeyman awaits them around every corner, under every bed, and in every closet?

2. White people in America just want safety. They want peace of mind. Perhaps this is why gun sales are through the roof right now? Some have said President Mein Obama is the greatest guns salesman of all time, and they’d be wrong. The threat of wide-scale Black violence or the random Black thug trying to mug you always has been ...." Guns Don?t Kill People; Dangerous Minorities Do ?

a. “There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”
― Jesse Jackson





3." Young was the mayor of Detroit from 1974 – 1993, whose tenure can best be described as one long eulogy for the city.
In his autobiography Hard Stuff, Young describes himself as an MFIC (Mother Fucker in Charge), and peppers his sentences with the descriptive mother fucker after seemingly every other word. It’s perhaps the most honest look into a Black politicians thinking that has ever been published.

Detroit is a ruined city now (the Visible Black Hand of Economics), where no grocery chain can stay open because the once might metropolitan, now blessed with an 84 percent Black population can’t sustain one:

Ninety-two percent of food options in the city come from party and liquor stores, forcing residents into making nutrition choices in unsafe and unsanitary conditions, according to a report released Thursday.

a. In 2008, the city's last two Farmer Jack stores closed, leaving Detroit without a major chain grocery store. Independent stores such as Mike's Fresh Market or Foodland are among the options some city residents use for groceries. Still, city residents spend nearly $200 million a year on groceries in stores outside the city, according to the report."

4. " Just compare Detroit after 40 years of democratically elected black rule to that of Hiroshima (where an atom bomb fell on Aug. 6, 1945) Who really won World War II?

But victory at home for the black population (which has seen redistributed funds from the white taxpayer to the tune of a perpetual Marshall Plan since the early 1960s) spelled disaster for America. Today, 90%+ black Detroit, ruled by democratically elected black people since 1973 – when a Tuskegee Airmen, Coleman Young, was elected the first black mayor of the city – is taken over by the state of Michigan.

a. In 2013 Detroit, the state of the city is a direct result of the abilities of its black population to govern and maintain what once was America’s greatest city — perhaps the most important metropolis in determining whether America would win World War II.A city they were to maintain after driving whites out with high crime and a massive riot in 1967 that Life magazine dubbed, “The Negro Revolt.”

As documented in my book Escape from Detroit:The Collapse of America’s Black Metropolis Detroit’s official collapse today has been a long time coming – and it is 100 percent on the shoulders of its black population, which continued to elect Coleman Young and other black officials year after year."

As an interesting exercise, read the above, and replace "Detroit" with "America," and "Coleman Young" with "Liberals."




What should have been done?

a. Copy whatever the heck the Japanese did after Hiroshima.

b. Make no exception or excuse for criminality, immorality, based on race or political power.....or any other reason.

c. Learn from mistakes.



...before it's too late.
 
You can blame Black people all you want for Detroits' problems and that's fine, they've run the city for so long they deserve some blame.

But here's the deal:

Everybody, regardless of Party Affiliation, supported Free Trade (not Fair Trade) Agreements that sent all the good paying jobs overseas starting with GATT.

Stupid American Taxpayers PAID to have all their Jobs, Wealth and Power transfered to Corporations and Bankers who then shipped it all overseas.

And what have Americans been doing all this time? What have they been doing since they won WWII? They've been memorizing worthless Sports Stats. They've been keeping up with who's f cking who in Hollywood.

Americans know more about "Lebrom Janes" and "Kim Kardashian" than how their own Gov't works. Go ahead, prove me wrong!

It's perfectly acceptable to scream and yell about your favorite team on TV, that's manly. But should you be seen yelling at some Political Commentator people will look at you like you have 3 heads.

1. "You can blame Black people all you want for Detroits' problems..."

From the articles quoted:
"Young was the mayor of Detroit from 1974 – 1993, whose tenure can best be described as one long eulogy for the city."

and


"...compare Detroit after 40 years of democratically elected black rule to that of Hiroshima..."


and


"...democratically elected black people since 1973 – when a Tuskegee Airmen, Coleman Young, was elected the first black mayor of the city..."


and


"... driving whites out with high crime and a massive riot in 1967..."


and


"....100 percent on the shoulders of its black population, which continued to elect Coleman Young and other black officials year after year."



Care to explain those insights away?
Are you going to say that the folks who wrote that were simply guys in pillow cases with eye holes cut in 'em?
 
If nothing else, Detroit is a wake-up call.

Would it be radical to begin

1. An affirmative action geared to making sure that white people WANT to remain in our large cities?

2. Cutting taxes and regulation to encourage business....think Wal-Mart

3. Crack down hard on any and all violent crime.



Darn....it's well past time to inspirit what works....and discourage what stands in the way of success.
 
The death of Detroit has many sources...incompetence of the Big three's management, our government allowing imports into the nation, and finally both unions AND management not having the good sense to see what was happening over 40 years ago.

White flight was the final nail in Detroit's coffin.

Here you are, ignoring the facts, and bending every which way to say it's capitalism's fault.


A bright guy like you blinding himself to reality.

What the heck is wrong with you???

Afraid they'll rip your Liberal-credentials right out of your hand???


Or...that the Obama IRS will put you on their audit-list?
At least, that would be a rational explanation.





Keep whites!

Bring in profit making businesses!

End violent crime!

Throw out Democrats!

Face facts!
