I remember. I grew up in Livonia and the northern ‘burbs during the late 70’s and early 80’s. Young was the man responsible for the invention of the term “white flight”.

One good thing that’s happening in Detroit is the collapse of black nationalism. Sure there’s still plenty of racism but its not a militant organized thing like it once was.
Even Kwame Kenyatta resigned from the city council and ran off to Jackson Mississippi. When Louis Farrakhan was in Detroit a year back asking for money to rebuild the city, the people pointed to the building the Nation Of Islam themselves abandoned. They’ve also elected the first white mayor in 4 or 5 decades. The GOP has even opened offices in Detroit.
Detroit has a long way to go but things are changing there.
