Majority of Large Manufacturers Are Now Planning or Considering ‘Reshoring’ from China to the U.S.

Looks like the manufacturing IS coming back... just not the jobs. Hooray automation!

The race baiter has spoken! He is nothing but a political whore. Keeping the race issue burning and not doing anything about it.

white kids that embrace black culture


It’s just part of rebellion - “black culture” is simply an anti-culture promoted by the left as anti-Western, anti-traditional, and frankly, anti-Judeo-Christian culture.

So, kids seeking to rebel from God’s given morality will embrace “black culture”.

it would be racist for them to do farm work. It would bring back images of sharecroppers in the old south, so asking them to do farm work is a non starter.

Economic health requires a dedicated workforce, a free entrepreneurial climate, protection against crime. Those, in turn, require solid two-parent families, a competitive educational environment and a dedication to equal application of the law rather than equal results under it.

There it is. Plain as day.

Now, let's talk some more about how conservatives "don't reach out to black people." Let's hear again how Republicans need to "address the needs of the black community."

If you're a member of said community, just read that paragraph and consider yourself reached out to.

Shall we guess how many will say "thanks, sounds like a plan" and how many will curse and call us names??? Shall we guess what complaints Detroit (and nearly every other city population) will have next year, and the next, and the next....?

Detroit’s Subtle Racism was caused by the choice of car colors.

They painted white and black (and in between and two-tones), and you could choose.

So it is the Capitalists’ fault.

Got to get over choice.

Henry Ford was right. You can have any color you want as long as it is black.

“Get over race. Focus on real problems for a change.”

Ok, I’m over race. But, do need your help focusing on the real problems. So, how about you telling me what those real problems are - so I can focus on them.....

What happened in Detroit?

The people that built and maintained Detriot were violently displaced by a Third world people with Third world ways and Third world problems. These Third people don't have the drive or capacity to build or maintain First world cities. Hence Detriot has become a Third world city of beggars. Without constant infusions of cash confiscated from people outside the city it would collapse completely and revert back to wilderness.

Detroit was too long controlled by DemiKKKraps and Racism is built in.

Would you live there? Would you feel safe working there?

1. Thinking about it, actually.
2. I don't feel safe anywhere. In Detroit I can carry a gun.

Of Course. "Searching for subtle racism" is so much easier than actually installing a functioning government.

After Spike Lee’s racist rant about Brooklyn I really don’t care about these neighborhoods anymore.

They apparently like things just the way they are.

"On one side of the road, Detroit; on the other side, Detroit without the mismanagement."

Both sides are in the same city, right? So the same management then?Soooo maybe it's the cultures of the people that are on each side that made the difference.

I don't think so. As I understood the article, "the other side" is over the county line, outside the city limits of Detroit.

Same county, but different cities. I think. Haven’t been there in about 30 years. Cultures, I think culture is important. And it may be different north of 8 mile than south. Particularly when it comes to issues like family (have a spouse before kids), education (more than sports and music), work. Self sufficiency. But I’m no expert. If I were I’d explore making the ruins a tourist attraction. What’s the saying, Rome didn’t fall in a day, something like that. Detroit did it in a generation. Raze the rest, grow vegies for the northerners. Better yet, legalize pot. Now, before other states. There’ll be an export market, legal or not. Let the out of state buyers take the risk. THen again, that’s a lot of work.
