Maybe. But white Detroit MADE Coleman Young. Remember he was jailed in the 50s for agitating (as a communist) for black voting rights. Like Dr. Frankensteen's creation, he came back to haunt. With lugnuts in his neck.

White Detroit did have a role in shaping the man. However, in terms of him coming back to haunt, he did more to hurt the black population of Detroit than the white population. He did his part in driving out the tax base, be it residential or business. His antagonism towards the suburbs put a nice bow on Detroit's fate.

One can admire the man as a civil rights activist. But as mayor, he was a criminal.
