This is when we should have a discussion about Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest.

Darwinism is irrelevant in this context.

It is nature's way of strengthening the population by rewarding the most successful.

Which is why we are knee-deep in gays, abortions, alcoholism, crime, obama, communists, democrats, muslim, and a million other things that shouldn't exist if Darwinism were true.

By rewarding the corruption and recklessness of cities like Detroit at he expense of prudent cities, you take away the incentive for cities to live within their means.

These are not random hereditary variations are they? Does Detroit pass them down to its offspring? I thought people in this thread generally agreed that Detroit's problems are not random unplanned acts of nature. Also, I can't see how they are hereditary, since cities do not have genes or chromosomes. Nor do they mate and have descendants.

To add insult to injury, they want to reward the criminals with the tax money they steal from the law-abiding producers. But that has ever been the MO of the race industry and one or their main articles of faith, wealth redistribution from whites to blacks.

What would be funny if it wasn't so evil in its intent, is the way blacks continually cry that whites are their “oppressors”, yet they blame these same “oppressors” for white flight (fleeing an area where crime, failing schools, onerous business regulations, and high taxes on the few producers-mostly white-have made the area utterly unlivable for middle class and working class whites). Mayor Coleman Young even explicitly said that whites weren't welcome in Detroit, much as Nagin said about New Orleans. The only possible meaning to gain from this is that blacks want whites to have nothing, but fork over anything they do manage to produce, to blacks. That's just slavery. They're still bitching about slavery which ended after rivers of white blood was spilled to end it, but trying to put whites in this present day in bureaucratic chains.
