[Buckeye McFrog]

I lived in the Detroit area for a time when I was younger.

Those people who created Motown were geniuses.

I mean, flat-out geniuses. Listen to them talking about it decades later and I am in awe about how they were thinking so far ahead at so many different levels. How the fact that Ford Motor Company used to buy blocks of tickets to the Detroit Symphony and give them away to school children inspired them.

Certainly puts a lie to the tenet of Liberal racism that black people are stupid.

Detroit was also the home of Fortune Records, a tiny label that put out a lot of discs that won critical acclaim and became collectible.

Black people have suffered from the same failure of the public ‘educational’ system as the rest of us have suffered.
