My mother, who is a senior, was very stressed she hadn’t received her tax bill. She called the City multiple times. When she finally got someone on the phone, the customer service rep said to her, “We don’t have time for your question right now. We’re busy.” And then hung up. That was before this news came out.

Services we all deserve?…no wonder the city is a mess!

Detroit…fine example of decades of democratic and union leadership…you all should be proud.

All the technological resources in the world don’t matter if your city administrative functions are run by a bunch of incompetents who got their jobs not by skill or knowledge, but by political connections to a corrupt, Democratic/union machine.

The City of Detroit is facing the same problem that all of the gerrymandered congressional districts face. No representation. Since our Black citizens (and many impoverished minorities) insist on voting as a herd in every election, they effectively relinquish their right to fair representation and accountable government. It has been this way in Detroit for decades. You will see the same problems in every other congressional district in the country where entrenched politicians continue to win landslides at election time, while doing nothing constructive for their people.
Examples? Maxine Waters (since 1993), Barney Frank (1981), Sheila Jackson Lee (1995), Daniel Inouye (1963), John Conyers (1965), John Dingell (1955, from his dad!) etc etc etc
Solution? TERM LIMITS, NO GERRYMANDERING (GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICTS ONLY), IMPEACHMENT.

Think about it this way. When Detroit hires Information Technology professionals, they cannot hire the most qualified, most skillful people to fill those positions. They have to hire people BASED ON THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN. Therefore, inept people are hired to do what they are not qualified for. That’s one of the reasons this Country is done.

Steve, couldn’t have said it better myself. You get what you pay for…or vote for. Detroit is a national joke, just like any other liberal enclave you may find.

Our country had a crook in charge stealing money (Democrat) last year and I have not seen mine for this year either in Ohio.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Considering the city of Detroit employees this is not news.

And in their collective wisdom, the same Democrat/Union wealth re-distributors have given us Obamacare.

If you like what they’ve done to Detroit city services, you’ll LOVE what they’ll do once their racist incompetence gets control of your health care. Soon it won’t be just property tax mix-ups…

Two simple rules of economics that govern all of us and especially Detroit:

1. You get what you pay for.

2. You don’t always get that.

Actually, they are represented perfectly by Congress. Conyers and Mama Cheeks (before FINALLY being voted out) are typical of the residents of Detroit,who seem to like corruption and incompetence. Unfortunately, the rest of us must bail these city denizens out constantly, via state and federal taxes we must pay to compensate for the lower tax bases in some of these urban areas.

And I agree w/gerrymandering – those of us in the suburbs often get stuck with these idiots “representing” us because of the way the districts are drawn. NO WAY do these people look out for MY interests!

You want to see them really freak, mess up the welfare checks.

i wish they would mess up dem welfare chex.

You might want to get the 300lb. dmv types out of those desks.My last license renewal took a total of ten minutes,at the dmv!It was done by a white male,just sayin’.

But the schools are going to spend $45 Million in stimulus money to buy 43,000 laptop computers for students who may or may not use them to actually learn. When you say Detroit….you’ve said it all.

Judging from the lack of grammatical skill and logical reasoning demonstrated by the ombuds(wo)man of the city, I’d say it’s amazing that the bills got sent at all.

Idiots playing at government. Detroit has become a third-rate African nation.

people still live in Detroit?

Thats what 30 yrs of black quote unquote “leadership” wiil get you

Why write “quote unquote” and then actually use the quote marks?

Not surprised… it is Detroit after all.

I wish the racist (or near racist) remarks would end inthese comments. The problem with Detroit is not “black” people. The problem is ignorance, poverty, and negligence. It’s just coincidental that the people displaying these characteristics are black and grouped in Detroit. There are by far larger numbers of stupid white people than stupid black people in this country. It’s just that the stupid white people are spread out and their electoral power is somewhat diluted by others (of all races) who know better. There are mini-Detroits in certain areas of this country where the population happens to be almost all white. Please stop suggesting it’s a black problem. It’s a problem of poverty, ignorance and negligence (and malice on the part of the politicians who figure out how to take advantage of it).

Detroit: Harare, Zimbabwe, but colder…………………

Useless gov’t employees and their endless taxes, yet another violation of our rights. Add it to the list of gov’t violations of our right:
They violate the 1st Amendment by placing protesters in cages, banning books like “America Deceived II” and censoring the internet.
They violate the 2nd Amendment by confiscating guns.
They violate the 4th and 5th Amendment by molesting airline passengers.
They violate the entire Constitution by starting undeclared wars for foreign countries.
Impeach Obama and sweep out the Congress, except Ron Paul.

I agree that the racist comments get us get us nowhere. That’s why I find this comment MORE OFFENSIVE then most of the others. You start with wishing the racist comments would stop and then you start throwing out your own RACIST COMMENTS.

You have either been educate in Detroit Public Schools or your delusional. Either way this is by far the sorriest post I’ve seen here today. Which in turn makes you the sorriest person posting today.

So glad I moved out of Detroit before it got this bad…. Not that it was a shining beacon on the hill through the 90′s either. But, completely agree with FmrDetroiter, you reap what you sow…

They’d re-elect Kwame Kilpatrick in a heartbeat if his butt wasn’t sitting in jail. Corrupt and criminal? Yeah – Dat man, he be jus’ like us!

I agree 100%. The best candidate should fill the opening, regardless of his skin color. When did skin color make some more qualified than others? What has skin color to do with brain power? Nothing! It’s just politics as usual. This is what is sinking America. Discrimination against those best qualified for the job, not getting the job because of their skin color.dku

To simplify the EEOC statement, it should just say: “White men not encouraged to apply”….

what do you expect? its detoilet.

Its’s sad, but you have to give the people what they vote for.

Remind me, please…Which political party runs Detroit?

Governmnt (any government) cannot properly arrange a one float parade.

In a democracy the people get the government they deserve

No wonder Detroit is the dump that it is. The senseless Liberal agenda hard at work. I really hope the residents of Detroit wake up and do something about this.

Amen, brother!

~(Ä)~

Not surprising at all. I don’t know how anyone can say this has nothing to do with race. It all started with white flight in the mid-late 50s, now look where the city is after a generation or two of incompetence and corruption. Stupidity breeds stupidity and nobody re-locates to the city of Detroit. It’s the same people sabotaging the future of their children. It won’t shock me if I hear that the 60,000 laptops bound for Detroit Public Schools get stolen or something.

This has nothing to do with liberals/unions/democrats and everything to do with skin color.

The system is designed for you to fail when they select you as a “loser;” to pay unconstitutional taxes generated by unelected boards & local czars.

This is what we get when government tells you what your property is “worth” and what you’ll pay for what’s become an illusion of “ownership.”

The answer: eliminate property taxes & replace them with a simplified model of sales taxes. It’s not difficult; but “unpopular” among those who seek to abuse what is actually their responsibility; not power.

Sales taxes would generate significantly greater tax dollars, in real time without a burdensome “system” of collection. Ownership is a fundamental right protected by the Constitution. This is a nationwide problem: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=244393

I use to have rental property there , Never again, that city is a Joke.

Isn’t that the message that the grownups in charge today sold us on back in the sixties when they were just a bunch of potheads?

Civic leadership my keaster. Thank the public schools.

Frank why do people refuse to see what is right before their eyes?
Where in the Whole World is there one place where blacks are in control where it is safe to walk the streets, even in broad daylight.
Forget RACISM just look at the facts, the negro lies in wait for others to bild then infests and destroys what has been built. There are plenty of people from many other races who have risen from poverty to wealth and success, but not with what they call songs that speak filth concernig a woman and the law.
I hate to say it but over time you come to realize the negro as A. Lincoln said many years ago does not belong in a world of whites.

Mark your question was good but incomplete.
Which party and which race would have been more appropriate.
Sad as it is to say the History of the negro has zero high points, every invention they try to lay claim to can be proven a lie with very little research into the patent office.
We are different and anyone who says otherwise is a fool.

Looks like the comment board is filled with folks sick of celebrating diversity.

Facts have one attribute, and that is that they are true. Sad’s statement is a fact. 16% of Blacks have an IQ at or above the White average of 100. Generally speaking, they are unable to manage or compete in a White Western civilization. Because of this FACT, it is imperative that we separate. Blacks need to realize their potential in a civilization created by themselves. It is the only way to avoid violence and chaos.

I am born and raised in detroit. After the riots in 68,69? we moved to the burbs, Coleman young told Bill Bonds on local TV that white people were not welcome past 8 mile rd. This I believe was the start of the downfall for Detroit.I left Michigan in 1990 and have never looked back.I feel very sad for a once great city.

you know what I’m Sayin’

…I feel sadness for your mother or anyone else who lives in that dreadfull place……

….great post….

…I was going to respond but this ramble was so deranged I hardly knew where to start…..

….quite simply Detroit is where America is headed. We are busy installing the same socialist system that is unraveling Europe…..America you have finally elected your undoing!

I use to visit Detroit in the ’70′s, it was a beautiful city. With everything I have read about the city is heartbreaking. It has been sucked dry by the unions and liberal politicians. They are all takers, the city has become a bone yard. We can now look at this ciity as having our own Gaza Strip, in other words we can now call what was once Detroit…DeGaza…we are already there people.

You are right on…its the stupidity, poverty, and negligence fostered on the black community by other blacks – Coleman and especially Kwame – ho…so here’s an idea..stop being stupid and grouped together and be stupid and move…if you live there a head count of white morons donen’t change detroit is filled with black ones..in detroit it isn’t a “wihite” problem that you can’t get fresh food or walk the streets safely…enjoy your creation.

Haiti was a lush tropical paradise when ruled by the French. Then, after the slaves killed them off, you get the current day Haiti. Detroit would be Haiti if it wasn’t for the rest of the country keeping it up.

Business as usual in Detroit. Things went downhill fast when Coleman Young took over as king……

We left Detroit in 1974 as one of the last, if not the last, white family in my neighborhood to throw in the towel. I was just a little kid but I remember the night a half brick came through my bedroom window showering my bed with glass. Retaliation after my Scottish mother had been yelling out the window to tell a group of “African” Americans to stop setting fire to the large dumpster across the street and smashing beer bottles in the road. This had become a nightly occurrence and Mom had had enough apparently and she did use far more colorful language while calling them out (won’t make the censors on here). Cops never once came. Shortly thereafter Dads’ car got smashed up in the driveway by a hit and run drunk black guy. Of course he had no insurance, no job. Car wasn’t drivable so dad had to hitch hike for the next few months while saving up money for another car. Cops never showed up at all. Graffiti appeared all over any wall or house siding near a sidewalk. Each family that moved out a new one would move in and then the house would deteriorate rapidly, 3-4 dead cars parked about and regular police visits for domestic violence and various arrests. As a kid I always wondered why there would appear to be 15 people living in a small house. Mom was a tough woman but it became too dangerous for her to walk the three blocks home in the evening from her job. Large groups of you know who would follow her and make aggressive sexual comments saying she was ‘gonna get raped.”. We moved very quickly after that. Too sad for Detroit because I have lots of good memories, but I don’t see it ever getting any better.

If no laws were broken then what’s the problem?
The school is note responsible for what’s goes on outside of school functions.
If laws were broken then arrest the guilty ones.

As a former Detroiter that left in 1967 to join the Air Force, I tell people that “Detroit is a great place to be from……..far from.

It has taken a century, but you White Detroiters are catching on. The South is a hundred years ahead of you. Come on down.

“WE ARE THE ONES WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR” – http://www.AMREN.com

People don’t live in Detroit

The racial comments are hilarious, sadly they are also true. I’m glad I am not a negro living in Detroit. Perhaps Haiti would be better.

To correct you — the riots were in 1967 and the World Series Detroit Tigers were in 1968. Detroit used to be a beautiful and well run city. Now it’s on it’s last legs and everyone is picking the bones. So sad Detroit — you were once great and we loved you. Goodbye……………

He shoots, he scores! You hit the nail right on the head. Every major urban area in this country suffers the same affliction and they all share one thing in common…complete democrat control.

Nice. Jared Loughner wants your grammar cleaned up!

Who in their right mind would be worried about NOT receiving a bill? If that happened to me, I’d be happy that I had an excuse not to pay.

What word ALWAYS GOES WITH NIGERO BESIDES MURDER—-STUPID!!!!

YOU GO SAMBO!!!!!!

someone said, “The problem is ignorance, poverty, and negligence.” this goes hand in hand with the negro nation. Everywhare the negro lives ignorance, poverty, and negligence follows. Negros love living like that. I challange anyone to show me any area in the world whare the majority of people are negro and its a safe and nice place. And to think people voted one into the white house is disgusting. It wont take long until the rest of this country looks like detroit.

Same as Washington – all politicians – most of whom have never had a job in a corporation or had to meet a payroll. They handle themselves and speak well and don’t have a clue how to run anything. Just name one program in Washington that is a success. Same for our cities – and then they move onto Washington.
No one pays any attention to their background and qualifications – if you like what they say and how they sound, most people simply vote for them. Want to find corruption…….just look at our city and federal governments. When will it ever change. We just get deeper and deeper id debt, etc..

I am surprised that detroit still has 60,000 people living there that actually pay real estate taxes.

The only thing free in this world is a High School education. How many of Detroit’s citizens take advantage of this civil right? 24.9% The cry for help due to ignorance, poverty and negligence is unfounded. The role of government is…Do for the people what they cannot do for themselves. It is not…Do for the people what they are too lazy, inept or willing to do for themselves.” The citizens of Detroit need to take the first step on their own two feet and quit asking for a free ride.

It’s Detroit. You were expecting better?

CORRUPT DEMOCRATS AND CORRUPT UNION BOSSES LED TO THE LASTING DOWNFALL OF DETROIT!

I still own property in Detroit, including my old home, which I lived in as recently as 2003. Archer had things trending up, then Kwame and his gang of thieves wrecked all the progress and made it an unbelievable mess. The comment earlier in this blog about re-electing Kilpatrick isn’t true. My neighbors all agree he was far worse than anyone they’ve had running the place, and most support Bing. Problem is, rooting out all the incompetents takes time, and money, something Bing hasn’t had a lot of. Civil Service and unions make cleaning house very difficult.

That said, this is truly incompetent. The one way the city gets it’s hands on some cash, and they can’t keep that straight.

Say it again and again King.

Look at their performances in schools across the nation and wonder out loud why these people even get out of high school much less run the country and cities into the ground in the name of rampant PC>

Don’t forget the 70 percent of the black children who have no freaking bill paying and nurturing DADDIES.

THAT IS THE PROBLEM along with the others you astute commenters noted Sad and Tom.

PC is putting reparations over the security of the nation as a whole not to mention the repeated failures of URBAN AMERICA and the Black world and I mean world. As you note, every black nation and city is in perpetual failure. Anyone with half of a half of a brain can see this but PC has ruled the roost thanks to communist infiltration through the democratic party.

PERIOD.

YUP…..It’s all the libs buried in basements of our office holders, liberal special interests, the MSM, the Race baiting brigade of JESSE AND Al jamming these boards with these commie and ghetto comments to give the appearance these people commenting are in this country even when most of these communities can’t even afford the internet much less computers to use.

Hi rise ghetto’s and Crack houses don’t have too many internet connections in them.

Many more are in the Middle East are on their stolen and donated computers doing the same thing the liberals are….. to divide America from within. Only the deadwood left which includes mostly minorities who vote by race can’t see this.

Yea the once great mighty Motor City has turned into Crackrock heaven for the most part not to mention every other urban area of the US. EVERY SINGLE ONE IS IN FINANCIAL PERIL IF NOT COMPLETE COLLAPSE as a result. EVERY ONE.

They can’t live off uncle sambo much longer and it all starts and ends with education.

The enemy of most but certainly NOT ALL blacks. This dump called Chicago I’m 20 miles north of is the next one to go the way of solvency and sooner than later and that’s why this Chicagoan since 79 is moving to Colorado in a couple months.

CBS Detroit, you better thank Drudge. I live here and didn’t even know this site existed!

J.Stephens -thanks for sharing your story. It overlaps mine so much. Unfortunately, that story was repeated THOUSANDS of times by other white families who eventually moved out to the suburbs.

My dad bought 4 televisions between 1972-1975 (back when families only owned 1) because criminals kept breaking into our house.

I clearly remember my mom crying at the kitchen table when she read the letter…the letter that stated her little white son would now be “bussed” to a black school 5 miles away, instead of the elementary 4 blocks down the street. I was only 10 years old. All done in the name of diversity. Where’d it get us? All of us? It gave us animosity. Thank you Social Experiment!

My dad yelled at a black guy for burning his garbage in the street. The next day he pointed a gun at my dad saying “yell at me again”. We hopped on the White Flight caravan 2 months later.

I love Detroit. But only the version that’s in my distant memory. The city has been imploding for 30 years. But because I’m a born and raised Detroiter, I’m both proud and sad.

Steve…They invariably share at least ONE other factor.

Demography, not Democracy ruined Detroit, the Paris of the Midwest

These “people” look out for “their” people…..
Maybe that’s the problem……. They don’t
consider “you” one of them! Maybe people
like “you” should wake up and see that it’s not
about voting, it’s about “interests” and “demography”.

Bravo Frank!….. For the record a blast from the past :”The scandalous drama of Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick took a bizarre turn Thursday as a judge sent the troubled mayor to jail for violating the terms of his bond in a pending perjury and obstruction of justice case”. Ouch! Talk about stupid and corrupt

Some people believe in paying their bills (I assume not many in Detroit or the city wouldn’t be in the mess it is, but there must be SOME “typical Americans” there) and also realize that they are responsible even if the mistake is made by their creditor. It is a tragedy that an American city has descended into Third-World status the way Detroit has. .

When you tax people into oblivion and squander the money, the smart money takes its money elsewhere. Understand this: rule by the Democrat Party does not mean democracy. Quite the opposite. The decline of Detroit began in the 50s when the city’s tax base fled to the suburbs away from the city. The tax base fled because of high taxes. and the squandering of those taxes on useless idiocy and social engineering (which is a fundamental trait of Democrat leadership). So all you people who keep voting in the Democrat crooks, kooks, and union thugs; keep it up. You deserve the squalor in which you live.

The Paris sewer of the Midwest!!!!!

You elect incompetence, they hire incompetence, you get incompetence.

U got that right.

Third world abonded city without goats.

Because we all know the Republican have never hired incompetents

Detroit was turned into a wreck by the racially divisive politics of Coleman Young. Mayor Archer tried to fix it and gave up. Kilpatrick was just a crook fleecing the city and working for himself. I have hope for Save Bing, but he still has a corrupt city government to clean up and try to make function. I will pray for you Mayor Bing. You have a big job ahead of you and armies of selfish and incompetent city employees to deal with.

The current Mayor of Detroit has handled a payroll before. He owned Bing Steel Corporation. Bing is not the problem. The lazy and incompetent city employees are the problem. The corrupt and unethical labor unions for the city workers are the problem. Bing is caught between a rock and a hard place in trying to clean up the mess that Coleman Young caused and still is perpetuated today. Besides Bing, Dennis Archer was the only other Mayor that was worthwhile in over 40 years of decline in Detroit.

We brought ‘em here; now we have to deal with them.

Yes, Detroit was once considered to be the “Paris of the West”. It was a beautiful city. Look at it now – a third world city. Thank you, democrats and unions.

Wow, even when they are forced to admit they made 60000 mistakes you still defend them.

Frankly i don’t buy that it was a mistake. I think they purposely sent out the inflated tax bills hoping the sheeple of Detroit wouldn’t know the interest went down and would just pay what was on the bill. Afterward the city admin would apologize, promise to prevent this from happening again but would claim that because of budget cuts or staffing issues that they lack the resources to contact all 60000 people so they will only be addressing the issues of those who complain. And tada, they’ve wrung more bl ood from the stone. It wasn’t a mistake it was a scam.

And before you left wingers respond(Fla me On),keep in mind I’m not the one getting scre wed and it’s not the GOP doing the scre wing. Maybe it’s upbringing, but i don’t bite the heads off of people who are trying to save me money.

You don’t have to unleash nuclear bombs on a city to destroy it. And people wonder why African countries are poor. How can you get property taxes from a city where 99 percent of the population gets government welfare?

If you don’t pay your tax bill you are still responsible for the interest, penalty and consequences of not paying.

I blame tea party talk radio for every shooting and criminal act in Detroit.

… i was surprised to see that detroit still has 60,000 functioning addresses.

You do realise that the government will just add on penalties and interest if the taxes aren’t paid – whether you receive the bill or no – right?

who is running this department? Tim Geither, Tom Dashcale or Charlie Rangle?

you can be in denial all you want, but it really is black people. As they lead you and your nation to their doom, will you be blind all the way till they push you off the cliff?! Africa is wherever black people are just as mexico is wherever mexicans are… scream whatever ad-hominem you wish, but truth is truth. in the end the black would rather turn every square inch of america into an african hell rather then be lead by the saxons.

Were the bills in Ebonics? Perhaps that’s the problem, they were in a foreign language, English.

Another Democrat failed city.

Who is John Galt?

No hope of shipping them back, eh?

The government, in any form, rarely does anything right, especially in the last 90 or so years. I fear it will take a civil war, national calamity, or invasion from China/Russia/Iran/Venezuela before Americans wake up.

The Founders despised and distrusted government in any form because it always leads to tyranny! There are about 5-8,000 years of recorded history that prove this to be true but people continue to hand over their freedoms to others.

I want to know who activated the KKK call tree and got all you racist freaks out to try to opine on why black people are terrible?

IQ’s a highly variable over time and many groups have gone from below to above average IQ in relatively short time periods. Trying to say Detroits problems, which are severe, are somehow the result of skin color is silly.

I know plenty of black people who are extremely intelligent and contribute greatly to society (the current president is certainly not one of them).

Stop with your hatred and take a second to examine what it is about yourself that tempts you to cast aspersions on other people. Trying to come up with reasons other people such is the special hobby of those who haven’t been able to accomplish their own desired goals.

Detroit, save some money! Fire the people in the tax office that are responsible.

Three words. Liberal Democrats and Unions. That’s all you need to know!

State of Michigan has messed up twice. Once claiming my husband had died, so they wouldn’t let him vote (had him confused with someone else).

The second offense was when they didn’t mail a car license renewal to us, as someone in the office failed to make the address change, which we HAD made. All of our cars had different renewal dates. We received a ticket for a expired license, then upon explaining the Secretary of State’s error, they said, “Too bad!”. Their renewal is a “courtesy”, and even though we had always been billed for every car for over 5 decades, we should have known it was expired!

Idiots! No wonder you are in decline.

AMEN!!!

My dad had the sense to move out of D.C. when the black tide started moving down the street, that was 1950 and the place is a cesspool, a cop on every corner, we moved across the Potomac river into Virginia, all the difference in the world, it was heaven, the darkies couldn’t afford to move across the river, so they gobbled up Maryland, and look at their crime, taxes, and democrats, they both are cesspools, their are still parts of D.C. that whites can’t go, night or day.

I find it difficult to believe that there is any property in Detroit worth taxing!

Detroit is having the same problems that are now affecting whole states. Specifically Illinois, California, New York, and New Jersey. Can anyone guess what those states have in common?

Aw, lawdy, what is we a gonna do? Maybe we’uns oughta move to Minny-soty? We’un’s won’t have no food if’n this keeps up. We is bankrupt, fo’ sho’. Aw, Lawdy!

Actually, I have a Phd in Economics. Really, I do. See, I’m a freakin’ genius and one plus one doesn’t equal two. It equals five trillion. See, Keynes said a little debt is good, so, in my educated mind, I’ve learned that if a little debt is good, than because some people want to get re-elected, and most Americans have the brains of small dogs, then a LOT OF DEBT IS GREAT! Yayyy! We suck.

Mayor Bing, you have only one choice before you. Declare bankruptcy, and get rid of the public unions. They are an anchor tied to a chain around your neck. Don’t go down with them. Let them go down instead.

Doug, your only argument is to try to stop people from expressing truth by insinuating racism. That act is tired and no one’s buying it anymore. Go back under your rock, liberal.

Ok, I was wrong. Slack people suck.

Kim (first comment), why do you let your Mother live in that hell hole? Bring her to live with you and get her OUT of there.

Affirmative action at it’s best ! What else would you expect from a city run into the ground for decades by the Demon-crats ?

@Jerry

Affirmative action, unionism and reverse racism has cause Detroit to put individuals in position they may not qualified as the best for the job. Hopefully Dave Bing will realize in order to win you need a talented team with the desire to win.

I fully agree from my own observations. The problem is always worse where the culture is dominated by negros. What I can’t pinpoint is the why? What does one race or sex or religion see that another does not see? We should all want to live good lives, but negros can’t seem to do that or at least not to my satisfaction. Given an equal collection of resources to accomplish similar goals, different groups wind up with radically different results. The tragic fact of the matter is we are not allowed to freely see what is obvious and mend our lives accordingly. We are only allowed to see what others want us to see, others who want to control us.

Liberal, you called someone a liberal! I understand what it means, what I can’t understand is who are the identifiable liberals. Will you agree blacks are disproportionally liberal? Will you agree Jews are disproportionally liberal? Will you agree women are more liberal than men? If so, I agree. Unfortunately as Pogo o’possum would say, “We have met the enemy and he is us.” Maybe it is time to admit a bunch of white, male, gentiles with families and responsibilities did a pretty good job of creating a nation and when they gave up the control things went down hill.

I am reluctant to admit it, but there is a lot of good quality common sense found coming from organizations of the far right. It is easy to point fingers, but I have trouble denying some of the truths the far right offers. I have known people who owned pet snakes, but for the most of us snakes are not good pets. Those who tell me all races are alike and we can live side by side in peace and harmony have cards they aren’t showing. I recommend going with the obvious facts and then look closer to see if I have missed something.

I visited Punta Cana, the other side of the island. Where the resorts were in compounds the place was a paradise. Outside the compounds where the locals live the place was awful. The contrast was so overwhelming it demanded conclusions, inexcapable conclusions, lessons in life.

+++ to the Guy in LA. Now that was funny!

Doug, it isn’t racist to look at voting patterns of Blacks. When 90+% of a group always votes the same way, that is the REAL problem .. for any group.

From an article that I just googled:

Following the Civil War and the enactment of the Fifteenth Amendment, Black’s initially aligned themselves with Republicans. … When given protection against antagonistic and often violent southern Democrats, voting Blacks displayed an overwhelming loyalty towards the party of Lincoln … through the Civil Rights Act of 1964. President Kennedy, who was a Democrat, received much of the credit for this legislation, cementing the relationship between the African American community and the Democratic Party … This number would swell to 92 % by 1968.

Why did Kennedy get all the credit? DON’T GET ME STARTED ON OUR ONE-PARTY MEDIA!

Not receiving a tax bill is not an accepted excuse for not paying in most jurisdictions.

THE CITIZENS DO NOT KNOW THE TRUE STATE OF THE USA -
DETROIT IS A LOUD SYMPTOM–
WHEN THEY FINALLY FIGURE OUT WHAT WE LOST THERE WILL BE A BLOODY MESS OUT THERE.

FIRST REMEDY – STOP WELFARE NOW!!!

It’s funny how you guys want to make this a liberal conservative thing that’s going on in Detroit. Everyone knows exactly why that place is such a sh@$ hole. Stop acting like it was some big job vacuum that caused it. There are other places in the united states where similar things have happened. Did the falling of enron or the closing of the Chicago stock yards turn these cities into virtual third world countries? How about the stunning amount of job losses in silicone valley due to tech jobs going over seas? While we are on that let’s take the most liberal city on the planet in California. Yea parts of it are a sh@& hole but anywhere close to the scale of Detroit? Detroit is a sh&$ hole because it has people living there with no intentions on ever digging themselves out of any kind of rut ever. No amount of ” good schools” or teachers or community action will ever ever change that.. Ever!! Let me point you to the south side of Chicago where once beautiful neighborhoods with great schools have become squalor with boarded up houses on every block and people of color hanging out in front of every liquor store. Is this just liberals doing this? Look at Lithuanian plaza in Chicago. Why is it that as of the early 90s, not a single Lithuanian was left? Liberals again? They were beat, raped, and most of all their kids were bullied right out of the local public schools. So they had everything but made it a point that white kids and white people were easy targets on the streets. Hence, whitey bails out. Detroit is one big southside of Chicago. I don’t care what the hell happened there, how big of a bad job situation occured, normal human Americans would have taken it and prospered. It’s a little hard to do that when you can’t send your kids to school for fear that a mob will beat them. Is this all because of liberals? This will never ever change. Our world (white average Americans) is so far different from there’s it’s incredible. I go into their houses every day working for the utility company. More than likely, 99% of all people on here blaming liberals or anything else for the demise of that city have blinders on and have never stepped foot in a changing neighborhood or school to see what these people are like

That is actually true. A renewal notice is a courtesy. It is the vehicle owner’s responsibility to renew the license as required by law without that courtesy notice. Ain’t freedom a burden?

I hate what you have said about the negro nation. However, being mostly fact driven, I have no argument against the facts you present. I will not reply with (normal) insult as most will.

I will however, think about this remarkable observation. So the question is Why are there no examples? Is is a flaw in the negro race?, is it a corruption issue? (If so, whites are also corrupt, then why do we see whites succeed? Asians too are corrupt but they too succeed. It is a real question which I am troubled with that demands an answer.

The real problem is that we have had trillions of dollars and multiple generations now invested to change the situation and the reality still stairs in my face. My race has not changed. We still (as a majority) prefer the darkness, rather than sacrifice and progress. Some of us do and we get called Uncle Tom’s.

I cannot think of one Negro Nation which has succeeded, or even a city here in America. Your observation has rocked me to my core.

My family lives in a suburb of michigan. Good people. When i go to visit i meet lots of good michiganders. The problem is the politics of michigan dont work. If something doesnt work dont deny change. Liberal union inspired politics doesnt work. Change or suffer. Btw patches12 the governor is republican.

exactly affirmative actions is a Federally Mandated racism.

Should be “you’re delusional.” You’re is short for “you are.”

Why would any intelligent republican go to Detroit, it would be better to take a tour of the waste water plant, and smell better!

This is just a guess, but I bet that Democratic politicians have had a strangle hold on Detroit’s government for many, many years.

Democrat controlled, democrat run and democrat ruined, yep that’s Detroit..

Sounds to me like they need to fire a bunch of slackers and privatize these functions.

Is there anyone in America that doesn’t implicitly understand that Detroit was ruined by blacks?

It’s not about the fleeing (fled, actually) tax base, it’s about genetic incompetence.

An fascinating dialogue is price comment. I think that it’s best to write more on this topic, it won’t be a taboo subject however typically persons are not sufficient to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers

I actually live in Detroit. I am not a native of this city. I love Detroit and I received a great education here. I know that God has an annointing on this city. Detroit is going to break free and have a rebirth that will shake this world. I just hope instead of downing the city I ask that you all lift it in prayer. God bless each and everyone of you. And I hope we can stop criticizing one another and help uplift each other. Instead of talking about the problem be apart of the solution. God be with you all.

The truth black tribes sold blacks into slavery to white people. Hundreds of years of rape, murder and forced labor. You sound like the same people that owned slaves. Whites where in slaved by romans for thousands of years, how long did it take for whites to get out of the dark ages!

Thanks friend for the awesome share.
This really answered my drawback, thanks!
