I don’t know if folks here are being intentionally obtuse or tiptoeing around the elephant in the room.
Detroit is not just run by democrats, but black democrats.
They FULLY EXPECT the black president to send them graft from the federal government. That’s the way it works among black democrats. There is no other reason to attain public office than to get rich through their office.
I can only speak for myself. It's called being disingenuous.
MrB, you are so correct. The pattern repeats itself in every city. Call me a racist, but I will show anyone hard statistics that support my views. I really don’t think it has anything to do with the color of one’s skin. It is a cultural problem.
