In Detroit, Michigan:

The mayor is black.

The city council is all black.

The school superintendent is black.

The school administers are black.

The majority of the teachers are black.

Change the process if you don't like the current result.

The city council is all black.

Almost. Maryanne Mahaffey and Sheila Cockrel are whities. In fact, Mahaffey is Counsel President and, if Kwame should die, would become Mayor. Actually, it wasn't that long ago that the split was closer to 50/50. Dave Eberhard and Mel Ravitz left a few years ago, but were always big vote getters.

And you'd be amazed at the percentage of Detroit's teachers who are white.

Tripleplay, You also may be aware that last week, the Gangsta (C)rapper Jay Z was made "principal for a day" at Detroit Cass Tech High School. Cass Tech is supposed to be the premier HS in Detroit. The alleged real principal of Cass Tech and the "community leadership" apparently had no problem with this "honor" given to the (C)rapper. Coincidentally, the Gangsta (C)rapper Jay Z was in town to promote his latest "album" of Gangsta (C)rap.
