I think I went to my first game a couple years later. My Grandpa’s company had excellent first base line box seats, maybe ten rows up.
Things that can’t be said but should be known
There was also a race riot in Detroit in June, 1943 that was almost as bad. In two days of rioting, 34 were killed.
Government money being poured into Detroit.
Forty-three people, many of them innocent bystanders, were killed.
____________________________________________
There are “innocent bystanders” at a riot? Yeah right.
Detroit was once known as the "Paris of the Midwest."
And then came Rat Party rule.
Mayor Colman Young ruled over Detroit for 20 years. One of his rules was that no white-owned business was allowed to open or expand up anywhere inside the Detroit city limits. As a result, whites and their employees left for the suburbs thereby vacating the city.
That one ruling along with the race riot devastated Detroit's inner city.
In other words, a race riot and a racist mayor put Detroit on the skids.
A couple of years ago they had a city celebration. I can't remember what year they were celebration, probably the 100th of something. And it was all Motown. The parade committee was run by the same people who devastated Detroit. And there was no celebration of the auto industry that put America on wheels.
The only time I went the Tigers scored a bunch of runs, heck I think even Don Wert hit one or 2 that day.
I lived just off 8 Mile, remember the military vehicles going up and down the street, the Huey's flying overhead, smoke in the distance...what a difference a year made between summer '67(riots)and summer/fall '68(World Series).
Off course, like everyone else has said, Detroit never really recovered...that is, the destruction, as well as the generational passed-on attitudes on race...all brought to you by your "friendly neighborhood demonrat party"...who likes to(in all urban areas)manufacture, then kick that hornets nests for it's political gain.
For them it's job security, maintaining it's entrenched power/corruption base...the Country/human element be damned.
In the military during the 1970s when a black or blacks sexually molested or raped a white woman it was the white woman who was tossed out of the military for being “unfit”
The “innocent” blacks were “protected”
The Tigers also went out into the crowd wearing their uniforms to help unite the city. This was between games of a Double Header. Mickey Lolich was also among the crowd in uniform. As he got called up by the National Guard in between games. They filmed scenes for the movie Detroit out of my Police Station in Malden, MA. When I told production staff the story about the Tigers. It was the first time they had heard it.
And the “SOUL BROTHER” sign appeared in windows as a plea to not burn and loot our store! We is with you all.
One of my favorite cartoons at that time was of a fat white man cleaning his double barrel shotgun. His wife says..”For Heavens sakes Harold, can’t we just put a SOUL BROTHER sign in the window like everyone else?”
Cairo? Remember the home made “tank” the cops built and called it THE WAR WAGON?
Great documentary on the 68 Tigers and what they meant to Detroit after the riots

Progressive rat party rule.
“Care to elaborate? I have never heard about “southern Illinois”.
Check out Cairo, IL..a little over 2 hour drive to Mississippi.
Let’s see: Export those with a criminal record and replace them with a combination of Haitians and French queers. Give them each an abandoned property. 10 years turnaround time.
“And it is still going on.
What is still going on? “
The collateral damage from the Northern War of Aggression.
Lesson not learned:
Two groups of people who have significantly different AVERAGE IQs and whose members are easily identified as belonging to one group or the other, cannot peacefully coexist together.
Excellent, brutally honest essay.
And today you can add muslims to that privileged group.
Why have whites caved so pathetically?
1. Terrorism works
2. Guilting works
When will whites regain their well deserved self respect and pride and start fighting back?
Two examples of that just today...
