Detroit was the trial run for “diversity” and democrat ideals. It took the corruption of Chicago and the white flight making it the largest “black city” in the country. You can see what happened. Detroit was the richest city in the country in 1950 with over 1.8 million people. Democrats and diversity happened now it’s one over the poorest cities in the country with a 38% poverty rate, average income of 37k and a population of 633k. This is what this cunt means when she says “make America Detroit”.
At #26 on Wikipedia, Detroit is out of the top 20 and top 25. Around 25 is where, if you'd asked me prior to looking at this chart, I would have separated large cities from medium sized or smaller ones. (I'm looking to move outside of a city that is not-large). However, you have stuff like Detroit and Baltimore down there, so I guess population isn't everything. Maybe I should exclude the top 30 cities.
The number one predictor of how shitty a city will be is how long the Dems have run it. Detroit hasn't had a Republican majority city government since FDR's first term. Chicago went Dem during the Korean War. Look at the major Californian cities.
Yeah before we had mass central American immigration and the Great Replacement, we had the Great Migration. I rarely see it mentioned. People act like that one wasn't engineered, but i'm glad you're not fooled.
People FROM Detroit aren't proud to be from there!
And you've essentially told American's if you vote for Democrats, you get turned into a third world husk looking at what used to be a great civilisation.
They never really were; I remember when the newly rebranded channel 4 (wdiv) started pushing the "stand up and tell 'em you're from Detroit" propaganda. That was circa 1980.
The rrms mentioned the city being in recovery. Yeah, under the first white mayor it's had in 50 years ... Hizzoner Young must be spinning ...
There was an “afrofuturism” pandering piece centered on Detroit and it stood out because it was a full on mask slip where the commenters were lamenting how it was all “just so black”. Apparently they couldn’t figure out why everything around them burned down and how the area became so broken the city can’t even sell homes for a dollar.
It must come with some sort of an obligation. IDK if you have to live there. But if they could find you and fine you for not taking care of the property, you'd be disincentive to just buy 100 of them.
I believe in the real-life example where they were literally giving away Detroit houses, the obligations were that you needed to maintain the property to a "reasonable" level, and that you needed to pay property tax on the value of the property based on the assessment PRIOR to the free giveaway assessment.
These obligations, alongside the penalty of being directly in downtown detroit, made it so bad that even homeless people wouldn't sign on.
Imagine trying to convince the country that they should be like a city that even Cleveland thinks it's better than. And objectively, Cleveland is better than Detroit. Exhibit A
Detroit has 1/3 the population it did in 1950, can’t sell homes for $1, and is in constant competition for the murder capital of the country. That is the same Detroit that was the richest city in the country and had the 4th largest population in 1950. Two things happened to make Detroit what it is today, white flight and democrats.
Not really. The white flight occurred because of black mass migration and skyrocketing violence, Portland is 2.5% black, Detroit was 1/3 black by 1960.
White flight occurred because of declining property values, and Chicago was already exceptionally violent, most people in Detroit weren't worried about black neighbors. You're argument would make more sense in Allentown.
Not that any of that matters, My argument still stands that Detroit would be a shithole filled with whites if white flight didn't occur. You can't make a Leftist power center not a shithole.
You’re arguing with someone who had family flee Detroit. White flight occurred for one reason, a mass influx of southern blacks who skyrocketed crime rates. Detroit did not got leftist until after the white flight occurred. Magically the more left Detroit went the larger the amount of white people left, it’s now ~77% black with 80-100k people still leaving every decade.
Detroit did not got leftist until after the white flight occurred
The AFL and UAW prove that to be completely and utterly false. Detroit was a Democratic City in the 1870's, and then during the Progressive Era became a Progressive Republican city. Then during the 30's it went back to being a Progressive Democratic city, where it sits to this very day.
Southern black migration into Detroit would have caused white flight and skyrocketing crime rates in the 20's, when Detroit wasn't anywhere near it's peak, nor most violent.
Your narrative just doesn't mesh with what happened.
Your “reality” is far into the “I read a Wikipedia article” category. Let me help you, between 1919 and 1962 Detroit had 14 Republican mayors and 3 democrat mayors, lest than 1 a decade and non in a row. It went democrat officially in 1962 when the white flight was in full effect. Detroit saw 10% of its population leave after the mass influx of black immigrants from the south. Again, reality doesn’t support your narrative.
Perhaps it is hard to tease out cause and effect, but the statistics say that whites are afraid of blacks and move out when they move in. There was a mayor of Atlanta that basically said "we will follow you" re the suburbs. And the exurb was born. I can't account for every individual person. I just see what happens to large groups.
None of these assholes, after they get rich, ever moves to detroit, baltimore or compton after they get rich. They live in upscale white places and attend p diddy parties.
"Dangerous like Detroit!"
[Wooo!]
"Impoverished like Detroit!"
[Wooo!]
Corrupt like Detroit!
[Wooo!]
On fire like Detroit!
Wooo!
Shameless like a Democrat!
[Wooo!]

633K, I didn't realize it was that small. Baltimore has a population at 550K.
I would have guessed Baltimore has around 1M people so I'm surprised by both numbers.

Detroit is shrinking by 80-100k people a decade since the large flight.

The kind of people that wear the sports teams on their cap are.
I know she said, "Proud like Detroit," but I keep hearing, "Brown like Detroit."

''Would you like a house in Detroit?''
''How much will you be paying me, and do I have to actually live there? Because that would be a hard no.''
It must come with some sort of an obligation. IDK if you have to live there. But if they could find you and fine you for not taking care of the property, you'd be disincentive to just buy 100 of them.

They have "free" houses in Italy with the same deal. If you are exceptionally and independently capable, it could be a good deal.

White Flight is still a distant second to Leftist economic policies. Without it, Detroit would just look like Portland.

Yes, people absolutely leave because of property values.
It's called "The Great Recession", look it up.
Everybody is afraid of black neighbors. I don't get your argument.
No, not everybody. Generalizing harder doesn't help you.

What about unions making the American auto industry uncompetitive? The non-unionized plants in the South are fine. Leftist economic policy?
Yes.
Trade Unionism is Leftist. They definitely make things worse.
Black mayors
I knew it would be this video. Was not disappointed.
Wasnt lizzo accused of physical, mental and sexual abuse by the dancers she employed??
It was turned into a class action lawsuit. ;)
Idk who that is. I also don’t care.
She is a professional fat whore.
Professional Fatass sounds like a job in South Park
