Why waste time with stupid stuff like learning and planning a future when you can just strut around town in your $300 tennis shoes and your pants hanging off your knees, listening to the latest rap song ‘bout slappin’ dem bitches and ho’s around. I mean, dat’s where it is, right?

I didn’t know they called video stores, “libraries”.

Good thing no Detroit native can read what I wrote.

"Sure they can - it just isn’t English."

First, you're thinking of Dearborn. I believe the Dearborn Public Schools are more than 74% ethnic Arab. Second, don't kid yourself about the Arab population surrounding Detroit being stupid - they aren't, at all. The three public high schools in the Dearborn area perform WAY above the national public school averages - WAY above. And, all of their dropout rates are very, very low - again, significantly below national averages, and WAY below the MI average.

The Detroit Public School system, OTOH, is a disaster. I read several years ago that its graduation rate was below 30% - think about that - only 3 in 10 students graduate from high school, if that.

"And guess who they’ll vote for in 2012."

Probably twice, or more.

Don’t worry, Barack Obama promises that if they just get free high-speed internet, all of that will change, or something.

When I think of Detroit... I think of a black populace... but you are correct... mexicans are pushing out the blacks and are taking over.

47 percent of Detroiters are functionally illiterate.
Actually, I'm surprised it's that low. I would have guessed somewhere around 70%.
