It is equally amazing, or should be but it is not, that no discussion in polite company can be conducted concerning the disintegration of Detroit-or virtually any other American inner city for that matter-that is not politically correct.

Until we can speak the truth, we cannot hope to cope.

No doubt the other side of the ideological fence would look at these images and say they are the product of white flight, lack of an “industrial policy,” or any other variety of liberal grievance. That begs the question: What political party has had a lock on the city over the last 50 years?

You got that right. People run around in circles and offer all kinds of excuses as to why but ignore the one thing that is consistent in each and every one of these s**t holes.

To 10 - The situation won’t come to a boil until this disease becomes more widespread. No person can deny what the most depraved, crime-ridden areas of their city or town are and who resides there. Yet, it is not politically correct to point this out.

It was Frederick Douglass, I believe, who said something like, "The black man has his freedom. Now, it is up to the white man to leave us alone for a hundred years...and let us see what we can do with it."

But the left oouldn't keep their meddling hands off -- their voters wanting to "do good", their leaders wanting to command the votes of a dependent class.

To tell the truth, I don't believe Bull Connor would've wanted for the blacks what has been visited upon them by the liberals.
