Ah, Detroit, the pimple on Michigan's a**. You wonder why sometimes, then you realize it probably has to do with crap like this:
Detroit mayor accused of lying about other affairs
Not to mentioned he used city funds to take his girlfriend on a vacation to the Bahamas, his horrible corruptible nature, but now this. We've, people who live near Detriot, have been hearing about this for a while. I just had to post this about see it make national news. What a disgrace this city and government is.
Of course they, Detroit, will re-elect the man "blaming whitey" for hating on the black man. You'd almost find it funny if it wasn't irritably true.

Because he's living large on tax payer money. Its bad enough to have to pay for all the low life lazy bums out there that folks like yourself feel the need to take care of, but we shouldn't have to pay for this man's poonany when he can afford it himself.Why would anyone care about this anyway?
Not to sound racist, but why does it seem the cities that use to be run by whites that are now run by blacks turn to little 3rd world crapholes? Very strange.

It's true that majority-black cities which also elect black mayors don't do very well. Impossible to say what the cause and effect is, given all of the variables.Not to sound racist, but why does it seem the cities that use to be run by whites that are now run by blacks turn to little 3rd world crapholes?

On the other hand, minority-black cities which elect black mayors do okay. Harold Washington was much beloved in Chicago, and I'm given to understand Andrew Young did a good job in Atlanta.
You're right Lemur, Atlanta was a lot nicer when Mayor Young was running the show, unfortunately years later it came out that he was stealing from the tax payers as well. The problem with the ATL now is its grown too fast too quickly. The main reason I think the "black" cities with "black" governments tend to turn bad is that they try to cure the ills of the past too early causing too much friction with the whites that live in the city limits causing "white flight" which is when most of your affluent residents take refuge outside the city limits, which causes the lost of not only a large tax supply, but it takes many jobs out of the cities because like it or not, many businesses are owned by white Americans. When these fellow Americans that happen to be white leave, then other minority owners such as Asians and hispanics having more capital than the left over black population open businesses but have a bigger tendency to use silent racism and use blacks only at the lowest levels of their companies. I've seen it a 100 times here in St Louis and many more times in East St Louis. Its an amazing to see this and even more amazing when someone talks about this observation because that person will be eventually called a racist, which will happen to me as soon as Tribesman enters this thread.

Actually Dave, that was one of the most thought-provoking posts I've read from you. It's an interesting analysis, and chimes with some other views I have read.You're right Lemur, Atlanta was a lot nicer when Mayor Young was running the show, unfortunately years later it came out that he was stealing from the tax payers as well.

Maybe because the latter two couldn't get by on race-baiting, which is, as I understand it, Kwame's chief selling point.It's true that majority-black cities which also elect black mayors don't do very well. Impossible to say what the cause and effect is, given all of the variables.

Coming from one of those cities, I'd be glad to tell you. However, I don't feel like taking a backroom break atm. Needless to say, the common denominator that is dragging American cities down deserves exactly what it gets. Its unfortunate for the rest of us who hold aspirations for our communities that stretch beyond "ghetto fabulous".

Ooops.

No big deal. It wasn't really necessary anyway...
I like his stylish use of the pimping hat. 
The guy is a walking stereotype. He was also voted Time magazines worst mayor in the country a few years ago and the next year he was reelected. Either the opposition was really bad or the people of Detroit were… confused?

Ah, Detroit. Fascinating place. Twice, it captured the imagination of the world. First, as the heart of American industrial might, a source of wonder to the world. Then as the centre of Motown sound, providing the soundtrack of a generation. Nashville doesn't really mean anything outside America, but Detroit does. Is Detroit now on the brink of stunning the world the world again, for the third time? Within a century, the world's largest industrial centre laid to rubble and reduced to subsistence farming:

Taja Sevelle saw the hundreds of hectares of vacant land in the city and came up with the idea of creating an organic self-help movement that would be "affordable (and) practical".

Ah, Detroit. Once a great metropolis that served as the beating heart of American industry and knowhow. But things are different now... very different... 
Looks like Dr. Klahn has found a better use for modern Detroit...

And that movie was released in the early 70's! Nice to know things haven't changed...

The man seems to be an animal. I hope Granholm can get rid of him since the people of Detroit seem too daft to see any problem.

At least some people know the deal. The guy is a liar, an adulterer, a thief, vain as hell and possibly a murderer. Plus he is a terrible mayor.
