DDOT Drivers Refuse To Work: ‘They’re Scared For Their Lives’

DETROIT (WWJ) - UPDATE – 2:30PM: Deal Ends Bus Driver Work Stoppage

People who catch the bus in Detroit may be waiting awhile Friday. About 100 Detroit Department of Transportation bus drivers are at work, but are refusing to drive their buses.

WWJ Newsradio 950′s Scott Ryan spoke with Henry Gaffney, spokesman for the D-DOT bus drivers union AFL-CIO Local 26, who said this was not an organized maneuver by the union.

Gaffney said it’s a matter of bus drivers fearing for their safety, citing an incident that happened Thursday afternoon.

“Our drivers are scared, they’re scared for their lives. This has been an ongoing situation about security. I think yesterday kind of just topped it off, when one of my drivers was beat up by some teenagers down in the middle of Rosa Parks and it took the police almost 30 minutes to get there, in downtown Detroit,” said Gaffney.

Speaking live on WWJ, Mayor Dave Bing spokesman Stephen Serkaian said they are working hard to resolve the matter and get drivers back on the road.

“We’re working diligently to work with the union and encouraging the drivers to get back on the buses and get on the street,” said Serkaian.

Gaffney said bus safety is an ongoing problem.

“If it’s to the point where if the driver is not safe on the bus, then the passengers are not safe, then the citizens are not safe. You know, what about them too? We have no security, you can’t get the police, nobody is doing anything to protect us. And I’ve been begging the mayor and the council for two years to do something to help us,” said Gaffney.

But, Serkaian said there are discussions in the city right now to improve bus safety.

“It is a concern. We want to protect drivers and passengers alike. We used to have police presence on the buses. We’re talking about the prospect of perhaps trailing buses with police cars. Nothing has been decided, it’s all in discussion right now,” said Serkaian. “It’s a short-term and a long-term matter… It’s all about money and it’s all about funding, and our transportation system is already stretched to the max.”

WWJ’s Vickie Thomas was at a deserted Rosa Parks Transit Center in downtown Detroit, which is typically booming with passengers and buses alike.

Saharah X. was waiting at the center for 30 minutes before flagging down a cab.

“They just try to find a way not to do their job. And then they got innocent old people, there an old lady on a cane sitting outside over there, that’s dangerous. And she got to walk? Wow. I mean, what is the world coming to? No love, no nothing. Everybody’s just thinking about themselves. Think about other people some,” she said.

Richard Moses, who rides the bus every day, was waiting a bus stop along Woodward Avenue when a D-DOT supervisor rolled up in an SUV and basically told him to find another form of transportation Friday morning.

“They said there’s no D-DOT buses running at this time and they don’t know when any will be starting back up. I just got off work, I work midnights. Luckily, I got dropped off right here or else I would have been sitting on 8 Mile and Woodward, and I’ve got to go all the way to Livernois and Warren,” said Moses.

Serkaian said they’re asking stranded riders who are waiting for the bus to get to school and work to hang on and be patient.

“We understand their frustration, we feel their pain. We simply have to ask folks to be a little bit more patient while we try to resolve this matter,” he said.

Detroit Public Schools has issued a letter to parents informing them of the situation, saying it doesn’t affect DPS yellow buses, which are running normally. They also said DPS Police Dept. personnel will provide additional watch near bus stops where children may be congregated.

A recording on the D-DOT customer service line said the department “sincerely apologizes for extreme delays in service.”

Arm them and shoot the little monsters when they come calling. This is a total failure of the liberal nanny state. White liberals own the welfare state that rewards incompetence, lazy behavior and downright stupidity. They write the books in our failing public schools and when it all breaks down they blame others and then have the nerve to demand more money to fix problems they created. It is funny that these problems did not exist in black communities in the 1950′s before the welfare state came into being. AGAIN: BUS DRIVERS–BRING YOUR GUNS TO WORK AND WHEN YOU ARE THREATENED–FIGHT BACK.

Don’t any of you find it ironic that it was in the middle of Rosa Parks?

It is a tragic and horrible testimony to what the white liberals and the race baiting blacks have done to a segment of our population that should have risen above their lowly past and joined the rest of our culture.

Now, they live in a world of destruction disrepair and decline.

Jawal, you are absolutely 100 percent dead on correct. Absolutely, unequivocably bullseye correct. Your history is true, and I can attest to it from eyewitness experience. The problems of the black communities stem first from the counterculture hippie movement and white beatnik drug culture that introduced itself into the black community in the 50s, followed by the welfare state of LBJ and ensuing decades of white leftist exploitation and liberal entittlment vote buying.

Jamal, if you are black, I woulld like to extend to you my acknowledgement as a white person that you are correct. I can’t apologize for something I did not directly condone or contribute to, because that would inferring that somehow I was trying to absolve the evil mfers that conspired up all this stuff.

The past is the past and if you want to dwell on it then good luck ever changing the situation. Why not focus on what they can control and that is the present.

“White liberals’????????????? Earth to Jawal. What percentage of blacks vote for liberals? Over 90%? If you want to see a big part of the problem look no further than the black community who continue to vote for the party of the KKK, Jim Crow and slavery and they don’t seem to have a clue that they’re doing it. It was Republicans that made the Civil Rights Bill pass but all blacks vote for the party that stood in the doorways of the schools to block them from entering. Why on earth they vote for that party is beyond me. Only dividing your vote gives you power. Then the parties have to compete for your vote but blacks never get that. It’s insanely stupid of them to act like they do.

I like Herman Cain. He said something both very funny and very wise a while back, in response to criticism from a Jesse Jackson type. He said, “I got off the Democrat plantation a long time ago.”

Quote from LBJ, according to White House help, when he got the phone call his “War on Poverty” had passed, “By _ _ _ , we’ll have the _ _ _ damn black vote for the next 50 years. He was right. Every election for 50 years, blacks as a race vote for their masters, the Democrat plantation owners.

A brief study of recent American history proves that wherever liberalism takes over an area, there is an immediate decline into squalor, crime, chaos, violence and destruction. Every major city run by democrats deteriorates. Detroit has been under democrat control for over 60 years. Here is the result.

Sad to see this in Detroit, at the bus station, location named Rosa Parks. She is the one who got tired of sitting in the back of the bus and now we have black teens at the front of the bus threatening the driver. Is this what Rosa Parks wanted? I don’t think so. Solution (much cheaper than trailing each bus with a police car). Install bars and a locked gate between the driver and the passengers. Equip the driver with a loaded weapon. If they’re going to act like a bunch of thugs, treat them like a bunch of thugs.

May not be what the communist Rosa Parks wanted but it is what those who planned an coordinated her contrived incident wanted.

Oh, any little hoodlum under the age of 20 are usually referred to as “children”. If they catch them, then they will be treated as if they are little angels. They will get a slap on the wrist. The parents could care less what their kids are up to, as long as the Aid For Dependant Children checks keep rolling in. The bus drivers refuse to drive because if they were to fight back and protect themselves, then the liberal do-gooders and race baiters like Jackson and Sharpton would scream “child abuse, racism, etc, and the drivers would probably be charged with a felony and sent to prison.

What needs to happen is for the parents to be held accountable for the actions of their “children”. Then something might happen.

LOLOL, Unions are the reason we have a 5 day work week, a lunch time and break time along with paid holidays.
I will expect to see you toiling under cr*ppy conditions on saturday.

This is another of our failed education system. If you do a little reading you will find that our country’s workforce and the widening gap between rich and poor are directly related to non-government employees losing their unions.

I was in the Merchant Marines and we had to strike to get food that was not rotten and bunks without fleas.

mike D!ckwad,

We have lunches, breaks and holidays because of laws. They are not in union contracts. Unions are no longer needed. Modern day unions only hurt our nation and our economy by rewarding unreasonably high pay for less work and often work that could be done by a teenager. Unions are dishonest and union workers don’t want to work for a fair wage. Abolish unions now!!!!

There is some trurth to what you say, but we now have those things because of unions, or at least the THREAT of a union coming in. Few companies give away things if they don,t have to. China has advantage over us because they do not have unions and can work 12 year old children like slaves, that will change soon.

Detroit – the Democratic plan for America. D.P. Moynihan warned that Democratic welfare policies would destroy the black family, creating crime, no education etc.

And yet African Americans still vote for Democrats, even after 50 years of Democrats making sure that blacks stay exactly where they are – full dependent and voting 100% for Democrats. For Democrats African Americans are perfect right where they are – why change since they get all the votes now. If the community became prosperous then maybe they would vote Republican!

Show me one place where Democrats have been successful in bringing education and prosperity to Blacks – you won’t find it – and Democrats deserve a special place in hel! for what they have done to the black community. To this day those in the community do not understand that it is all intentional – to get power. A modern day holocaust thanks to Democrats – the party of slavery, Jim Crow and the KKK.

Solution:

First,

Use video, people must look into a camera as they get on the bus. No head coverings allowed. This data is kept along with video of activity on the bus [like many schools have].

Second,

Increase penalties for attacks. Give them something “real”. Attacking a bus driver gets you an automatic 30 years, no parol– for an adult. Attacks by kids gets you until your 18, plus an extra 20 years.

Make the penalties so damn harsh no one in their right minds would think twice.

There ought to be a penal colony, perhaps a base in the Artic, where misbehaving knuckleheads in Detroit or any part of the U.S. are sent to live in a community populated only by other knuckleheads. When one begs to come back to civilization, and gets approval based on their evident willingness to behave properly, they are given another chance.

I got the solution right here – fire all the bus drivers with criminal records or questionable backgournds. Then give the rest assault rifles and deputize them as some sort of law enforcement officers. They will no longer be in fear of their lives… the punk@ss teenagers will be the ones in fear of their lives. We gotta get tough on hoodlums – put a bullet in their head.

Do you mean before or after the driver(s) are lynched in the press? If the public response is typical the driver(s) will be condemned and fired immediately at the behest of concerned and responsible commintiy leaders who firmly believe that the mere existence of a politce force eliminates any excuse for commoners to go armed.

But then as Jawal points out, they’re just “white liberals” so I suppose we can simply ignore them. I knew that only white people could be racist but I had no idea that there were no black liberals. Go figure…

Tell your mayor and other officials all the way UP to take a pay cut for sitting on their rumps and Clean up with enforcement Curfews and neighbor hood associations. Give the power back to lose trying to live a life, not destroy someones. The DEM alternative DOES not work for you . It is why waste Of money to them, let them have their hoods.. Truly I feel for those who cannot afford to move up and out of most bad collectives.

Truly collectives as in socialists camps BUT people you need to see who you elect is who is keeping you in a bad situation. They find other personal uses for the funds that should go into ridding your streets of the punks and losers.

Wake up you have to know anyone that is better at standing up to the losers and they are not the ones you keep putting in power.

Someone needs to round up the thugs and house them together let those trying to make a life live in peace and without the violence.

Stop paying for drug addicts seriously let them die already. Only a matter of time why give them the chance to take a few innocents out before hand.

The real stupidity comes not from them, but from the white people who actually decided it would be a good idea to put them in charge of their society and the community funds.

Detroit is the end result of white guilt leading to silly choices.

Is there really anyone in Detroit that can’t afford a one-way bus ticket? I think not. GTFO.

This is what happens when you pay for and pamper these little welfare hoodlums. They have never learned to be responsible. I can remember when families were poor and EVERYONE old enough took some kind of job to pitch in…NOT TODAY!!! They just sit in the Hood and wait for that welfare check and those food stamps that WE the PEOPLE are paying for.

STOP THE WELFARE NOW and they will be FORCED to be responsible.

I wish you were right. Once the freebie train ends these animals will fight, kill, maim, burn and destroy anything in their paths. Their minds have been reduced to the lowest common denominator vis-a-via public education and a godless media. These people have no moral framework and like it or not there is no society that can survive anarchy. Government has always been based on laws and it always be so. Even a leftist government would introduce a prison nation that would rival the gulags of Russia. It is time to buy guns and high capacity clips now. The possibility of anarchy in the next 10 years is close to 70 percent.

Unless you give them a thumb card”. Prisons use them to control and track inmates they require the inmate to both swipe the card and press their thumb to the recognition pad for admitance to an area. The Detroit bus system could use such a system with an airlock style entry to identify the people using the bus leaving no doubt who is responsible for the deeds of the person entering there. Of course the driver would need to have a seperate door which could be accessed only by them to complete the system. To be sure the system would be expensive, but what is money to Detroit? Of course with our booming economy we can afford such lavish measures to cover for the lack of parenting skills in our residents right? No? Awww too bad.

robert g was right to point out “Democrat” as the main problem. The leftists in this country have taken over that party and they’ve co-opted the black community to an alarming degree; some 90%+ appear to fully support Democrats year after year. Results are clear; complete dismantling of the black family, fatherless homes are the rule, education is scoffed at, blame whitey as gospel and excuse for every issue, trapped in low-income/high-crime neighborhoods. If the black community ever figures out as a group who it is that’s done this to them, I wouldn’t want to be a Democrat leader in this country for all the money in the world. Blacks have chosen the worst ideology to follow if they wish to see their lot improved. They are paying a heavy heavy price now as a result of their poor choice and it’s gonna get far worse for them, and all of us, before it gets any better.

Teenagers attacking bus drivers? In Detroit?

Generations of nanny-state, single-parent (i.e. mostly fatherless) parenting…….. My, My….. What a “surprise”. The difference between these packs of human debris, and normal human beings is Dad & Mom TOGETHER waiting at home, ready to thump your a*% for getting out of line. Most of us learned not to do things like this when we were 2 years old (back when you couldn’t hurt anyone). How do you deprogram a 16 year old who views violence as insignificant as tying their shoelaces?

As a GROUP this human debris is un-salvageable. So, as a society, do we allow teenagers to victimize the rest of us in the hopes that we can save a few? Sorry, I say the few worth saving need to figure this out fast, by themselves, or get thrown in with the rest. The rest? Throw em in prison (not juv det) until they figure out you can’t bash people’s heads in. Then MAYBE you let them out. I’ll gladly pay the extra money to remove the human debris from society. It’s cheaper then walking the streets in fear, getting beat up, or even worse, killed.

A *voluntary* program of paid (eg, 200k – 500k cash per person) permanent Black return to Africa would be desirable.

The initial outlay would be offset by the lifetime savings to society in other areas.

Many Blacks with no prospects in the US would take the money. They could start a new life in an African society, where that money would go quite far. They could buy a house in an African city, a car, & start a business.

Many US Blacks would have far greater relative status & opportunity starting fresh in Africa than staying in the ghetto. It is a fair deal for all parties concerned IMHO.

Detroit has had a Democrat as mayor since January 2, 1962. According to the promises that the Democrats make with other people’s money, Detroit should be a shining example of a Democrat managed Utopia where everyone lives off other people’s money.

But Ms. Thatcher had it right. Socialism only works until you run out of other people’s money. The majority of people with money fled said Utopia and Detroit Democrats were left with promises but no other people’s money to pay for them.

Detriot might want to consider management with a new philosophy, but I’m pretty sure that virtually everyone with any talent have already moved away.

Anything associated with the name “Rosa Parks” is violent and animal like. You cannot walk down any street in the country safely with that name. It’s too bad but that the way it is. It is a fact. You can call me a raciest but it will still be a fact.

Black Rule is the problem, I moved when we first got a black mayor it has been down hill since than.Most have ended up in jail what does that tell you.
And now the country is following the same pattern that destroyed a great city.
Wise up stop supporting people who have been riding the system for the last fifty years. Only they can solve it by looking in the mirror and seeing what they have become.Detroit needs to start over and get rid of the suckers both in and out of office. People need to stop voting because of race. Race does not make a person……

To all of those nuts who want the bus drivers armed:

1, Bus drivers ride with their backs to the passengers
2. Bus drivers are in control of a multi-ton vehicle and their attemtion must be on the road, stopping the vehicle before engaging in a gunfight.
3. If the bus driver manages to keep and draw their gun, their attackers are likely to be behind him, with a backdrop of innocent passengers behind them waiting to catch any stray bullets.

An armed society is a polite society, but the bus drivers are in an unusually vulnerable situation which makes firearm possession vastly less effective.

Actually, it was the Mad Max series. And Mel Gibson was the primary star, not Tine. She was one of the stars in that final movie, but Gibson was in all three: Mac Max, The Road Warrior, and Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. A fourth movie, Mad Max 4: Fury Road is in work, but the story is that a younger actor will play the Mad Max role in that one.

And the parallels to Detroit and the other large cities of the United States are amazing…

This is an example of how a city is run into the ground when the ethnically challenged run a city.

They say illegals take jobs Americans won’t take. Why not hire illegals to drive the busses. Also, cities are out of money to feed the prison population so why not let convicts ride the busses as bodyguards for the illegals driving the busses. They could be paid in McDonalds gift certificates so they wouldn’t even need to feed them at the prison. I don’t know why somebody else hasn’t already figured this out.

MOUNT CLEMENS (WWJ) – The Macomb County Sheriff’s office is investigating allegations that a janitor who worked at a Mount Clemens school impregnated an 11-year-old girl.

The 28-year-old janitor was employed by a private firm, but worked for a month or two at the Prevail Academy School, a charter school on Cass Avenue near Grosebeck Highway.

The young student, who is now 12-years-old, reportedly had the baby earlier this month.

Sheriff Anthony Wickersham told WWJ Newsradio 950 this could be the youngest girl he’s seen in a case like this. He said, as far as the janitor’s involvement, it’s only an allegation that is being investigated.

WWJ’s Vickie Thomas reports the janitor has ties to the girl’s family and may have been dating the girl’s mother.

It is always encouraging to see others that truly understand this problem. We have O’Bozo in office BECAUSE white people felt FORCED to vote for him. They surely weren’t going to vote against him and be called “racist”….

The mighty Boa told Mrs. Boa nearly 30 years ago. The “new” definition of racist was anyone who disagreed with ANY ASPECT brought up by the radical black. Thus, the mighty Boa happily wears the title of racist because he disagrees with the radical black on nearly every point…. Call the mighty Boa racist all day long. He couldn’t care less…… While the mighty Boa has no real problem with the black people who are decent, work, pay their taxes, etc, even THEY seem unable to deal with their own out of control savages and all too often turn a blind eye when stuff like this happens. In that case, they have nobody to blame but themselves…..

Never works out that way

Sounds so nice to say “arm the drivers” but reality is we are currently prosecuting a US drug enforcement officer because an admitted mexican drug runner that he arrested took a deal with the MEXICAN government to say he held the drug runners arms up too high when arresting the guy while wearing a heavy backpack full of cocaine in the US desert. The bus drivers would be armed then placed in jail for using excessive force when defending themselves by shooting their attacker in the foot when the driver was threatened with a machinegun. We as a nation are no good at applying common sense to support for our laws, and nothing I have seen makes me think we will radically improve anytime soon.

Also society trust a 16 year old with a car that can be used as a WMD and in the commission of a crime then society should try 16 year olds without a second thought as adult otherwise raise the driving age to 18.

Its time to go back to having seperate societies. multiculturalism doesn’t work. Liberalism is killing Whites and killing America.

I love the Chrysler Corp’s commercials about their vehicles: “Imported from Detroit”. Because that’s exactly what Detroit is now….a Third World country! Seems like the same type of thug mentality running around in third world nations! Don’t even THINK of using the race card because of my comments. It’s just a fact of what the corruptness of Detroit’s political network has allowed it to become. Voting for someone strictly because of race has allowed this to happen. Well…..live with what you have or change your ways, starting with individual families and start turning in criminals instead of being afraid and claiming “I ain’t no snitch!”. That mentality is what this has led to. Change or live with it!

Democrats, and espeically Minority Democrats (e.g. 96% blacks, 70% Hispanics, 90%+ native Americans), are a social and financial disaster for Americans. they commit nearly all violent crime (murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault), they receive far more taxpayer funds than they pay in and they vote for Democrats to steal ever more for them to supplement what they already steal for themselves.

We always hear about these kinds of problems(high crime, safety issues) whenever we have a large concentration of Black people. It’s really easy to understand why if you know these statistics:

Average White IQ 100
Average Black IQ 85

Half of Blacks have an IQ under 85. 16 percent of Blacks have an IQ under 70. Only 16 percent of Blacks have an IQ over 100. It’s only natural that Blacks have so many problems with stats like that. And if you want to dismiss the value of IQ, then try to find a brain surgeon with an IQ of 85. You won’t.

I lived there once it was the most racist culture I have encountered in my travels from the south of the US to the African continent there are few places that can hold a candle to detroit in divisiveness from all sides. As I was leaving the Iranian groups were settling into the area. They were not the evil Ayatollah idiots with nothing but hate and failure in their hearts but the educated hard working Iranians who had been trying to raise Iran to first world status in a single generation just prior to the failure that is the current religious prison there now. I entered the US military there and went to see much of the world outside and inside of the US. After over 20 years at that job traveling outside of that bubble of failure and living in the actively anti-racist military culture where most of the successful black man have gone I found no reason to return there. I have been sad but not surprised to hear of the failure and decay back in the city of my birth. I have been saddened but just as it is written “A house divided cannot stand” and Detroit is so divided in so many ways it is a wonder that it made it this far. I am sure things will totter along for a while yet but the culture of gangs and entitlement must be brought under control before rebirth can occur there. Lets hope not every one living there is beyond recovery.

Detroit – the Democratic plan for America. D.P. Moynihan warned that Democratic welfare policies would destroy the black family, creating crime, no education etc.

And yet African Americans still vote for Democrats, even after 50 years of Democrats making sure that blacks stay exactly where they are – full dependent and voting 100% for Democrats. For Democrats African Americans are perfect right where they are – why change since they get all the votes now. If the community became prosperous then maybe they would vote Republican!

Show me one place where Democrats have been successful in bringing education and prosperity to Blacks – you won’t find it – and Democrats deserve a special place in hel! for what they have done to the black community. To this day those in the community do not understand that it is all intentional – to get power. A modern day holocaust thanks to Democrats – the party of slavery, Jim Crow and the KKK.

Because the reporting is by CBS and since the races of the victim and the thugs are not identified, I infer that the thugs were black and the victim white. If you don’t like this inference, tell CBS to knock it off with the political correctness and identify the races in these kinds of stories. Given my inference…
If I was a bus driver and saw that Obama’s “unruly teens” could attack drivers and people like me with impunity, and if I saw the political class interfering with law and order, making sure that Eric “I Can’t See White Victims” Holder’s were not going to be held accountable and could run rampant, you’d better believe I’d be looking for some other kind of work – maybe changing bed pans at old folks homes.

Pingback: Detroit Bus Drivers Fear For Their Safety And Refuse To Drive Busses « Our Tax Dollars At Work

Ignorance Is not bliss

Lots of garbage but a few good points stand out from the trash. The racialist morons, as usual, are as clueless as Laurel and Hardy on a “bad hair day”.

The key that a couple of people have recognized is that this is a CREATED situation. It is not just a matter of black or white because you can find similar problems on a smaller scale in “White Only” Trailer Parks throughout the South and in predominantly white neighborhoods in a lot of major cities. Hint to the racist morons: The neighborhood in my city called “Felony Flats” is largely an ALL WHITE neighborhood. Criminality and uncivilized behavior is not the exclusive territory of Black America.

If you take a look at history, I know a big stretch for people who get their Nooze from the Tee Bee, you could trace the progress of Black America through the 1950′s and see that the Civil Rights Movement was making major inroads in establishing the legitimate demand for equal opportunity. Get that. The fight was not for Gub’mint hand outs but for right to enjoy basic human dignity including the right to work and to have an equal opportunity including education, and access to jobs.

Also during that time Black families were just that – families. There was a mother, a FATHER, and the little rug rats. Most lived in poverty and were treated, shamefully, as second class citizens or less, and they had every right to be fed up to the point where they were “MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE!”

In the early 1960′s the Civil Rights movement was really beginning to take hold and the demand for equal treatment was not only gaining greater prominence but the society was slowly moving in that direction. Yes, it was a slow movement and the self centered morons who insist upon looking at the world in racialist perversion were fighting against it, but they were losing, and here’s the key, because a MAJORITY of whites agreed that the demands being made by the Civil Rights Movement were reasonable and just. More than one white kid was offed by the psychotics of the Klan because of their support for equality of opportunity.

That most important points were all was lost with the introduction of Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” – which provided a subsidy for irresponsibility and penalized intact families. Women without husbands had a much easier time of getting on the public dole and the more children that the Welfare Breeders produced the more money they got in that Welfare Check.

Any economist, except idiot Keynesians, will tell you that the basic principle at play is that whatever you reward you will get more of and whatever you penalize you will get less of.

So, illegitimate birth was subsidized by the government and intact families were penalized. The consequences were obvious and were predicted by some at the time but they were shouted down as “hard hearted Scrooges”.

Know what? The Scrooges were right. The current situation is largely attributable to the implementation of welfare programs, sold as a kindness, but were in reality a cruelty. It took away the need to work, and the dignity work brings, subsidized sloth and ignorance and that is exactly what those “kind hearted” programs have produced and rewarded. Yes, there were other elements – Coleman Young was one of the most corrupt Mayors in America and his administration destroyed Detroit the City, but the culture of dependence and cycle of poverty was CREATED by all of those Welfare Programs.

The cycle of poverty, and violence, will not end so long as there exist government programs that reward irresponsible and criminal behavior. It will not end until Black America decides once again that they are “MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING TO TAKE THE DEAD END OF THE WELFARE CHECK ANY MORE!” One of the kindest things that could be done would be to rapidly phase out these programs and reduce the government restrictions which hobble small businesses from getting a start. Detroit could well see a Black Renaissance if that caught on. Your community is what YOU make it.

Oh, and another element lost along the way, that a lot of people miss, is that one of the key elements of the Civil Rights Message was to GET AN EDUCATION. This is the time when “The United Negro College Fund” was established, and yes a mind is a horrible thing to waste. Ignorance begets ignorance and the cycle of poverty is continued by remaining ignorant and uneducated. One of the most poisonous elements in current Black Culture is that getting an education is to be avoided because “that’s actin’ white”. So, it is good to remain ignorant and poorly educated, poor, and dependent on government hand-outs?

Oh, and the “well meaning” White Liberals who created all these welfare programs? They knew exactly what they were doing at the time they did it. It did its job and destroyed the Civil Rights Movement and reversed all the progress that had been achieved by people who put their lives on the line to fight for a BETTER future.

Why every single place on Earth rapidly turns into a hellhole if there’s significant black population in there? Still want more multiculturalism in Europe? Look at London Riots 2011 – most of these thugs were 3rd world black immigrants, who didn’t even had reason to protest ,they just wrecked and attacked everything at random, like savage animals. AND the only people that were actively defending their properties against this filth were….Muslims, Sikhs and other minorities. White people feared being persecuted because of sick law system. If a black thug beats you – it’s just assault. But when you do anything to him – it’s HATE CRIME LOLOLOL with 10 times heavier sentence.

In Detroit other than the high Islamic population, the closet on the reverse-rascist radar is “Whitey”.

Said everyone kills everyone over there. I asked why? Money. They just kill you if you have something. His brother escaped here to. Zimbabwe, South Africa, Uganda, Somalia, Sudan, it goes on and on.

The Detroit officers dispatched were driving a car which runs on used doughnut frying oil. Small pieces of donut somehow escaped the filtering process when the oil was converted into biodiesel, and completely clogged their car’s fuel filter. They did arrive, but only after 30 minutes of herky-jerky start-stop-and-go driving, the car belching sooty, half-burnt doughnut oil, the aroma trailable for miles. The bus driver thought they had been in a doughnut shop during his wait, based upon the aroma in their uniforms. Realizing the city buses, which also run on doughnut oil, might also have a bad batch of biodiesel, none of the bus drivers reported for work the next day.

Bondsman in Detroit

If you interview 100 people as they move out of Detroit and ask them WHY are you leaving? At least 90 of them will tell you they are leaving because they no longer feel safe. The Wayne County Criminal Justice System is soft on criminals and until they (Judges in Detroit) realize that they must get serious and actually hold criminals accountable for their decisions and crimes, our beautiful city will continue to decay from the inside-out. Punishment for crime in Detroit is often a joke and many progressive judges in Detroit actually believe that the criminal is not at fault for the crime they committed. They believe SOCIETY is responsible for the crime and the criminal is innocent.

The solution is quite easy: Adopt Arizona’s gun laws. You do not need any license to own a gun, and you may conceal it or carry it open — both without permits.

Right now, only the bad guys and corrupt cops have guns.

If you adopt Constitutional gun laws instead of the Union/Democrat Party of Michigan’s gun laws, all of the sudden, good, honest people will have guns and the bad guys will start dying.

Putting aside all of the bs analyzations for a minute. . . what an opportunity for the communities of Detroit to start getting better. Teens are doing this – those teens have homes – in communities where other members of the community depend on that service. The city should start considering shutting it down – then I bet those same people who depend on the bus systems will start getting those teens in line as they would understand that otherwise – it’s gone and Detroit can save itself a few bucks .

Also, the youth in general makes up a large segment of the Dem votes. The Republicans need to get their act together and bring back the on average social conservative black vote. Also, need to go after the Hispanic. Forget about the youth of today. The School system has brainwashed them to almost a point of no return. Only thing to wake them up is having to make a living. Many will straighten up like I did in my mid 20s when I found myself having to support 2 households for my son.

Black men need to be taught personal responsibility. It is part of the culture NOT to wear a condom. It’s considered unmanly and the women are not intelligent enough to know how to refuse sex without protection. Black democratic leaders are the worst racists because they promote and prolong the hand-outs that have turned a once responsible community into mere barbarians. Yes, I use that word because that is what these black flash-mob teenagers are, barbarians. They will never be civilized because it’s easier to blame everyone else for your problems (mostly white people). Black mayors, community leaders, ministers, politicians need to fix this.

I have a family of six with only one person able to work–and a child with special needs–and we do it with no government assistance. Yet we survive.

My mother was single and had me when she was 19 and never took a dime of government assistance. Yet she survived.

If you live at the expense of other people, you are a second class citizen and social parasite. If you want people to respect you, quit taking hand outs.

If you have legitimate needs – then getting temporary help is understandable. What we’re talking about here are the illegitimate parasites who make welfare a life time profession. Unfortunately, statistically Blacks are 4 times more likely to be on welfare as whites, even though they only make up 13% of the population.

“Not a Statistic” is a great example of how the education system has failed. Quotas and the academia-as-business model allow for absolute idiots to graduate. This corruption pervades from elementary school up through PhD programs. All this jerk has learned is a false sense of entitlement – the world revolves around them because they have a worthless degree. This is someone with 3rd grade mental capacities holding a college degree, and there are hordes of others.

Read Thomas Sowells book,” Black Rednecks White Liberals”. Also Larry Elder wrote “The Ten Things You Can’t Say in America”.
There is indeed a difference between Liberal and Conservative Blacks.

I’ve seen lots of people pull that Carpel Tunnel and hurt back nonsense to get their permanent loafer-checks. Those are the zeroes. Can’t they work a phone or do something productive?

And yet, I’ve seen lots of people that pull themselves into a wheelchair every day to have the dignity of real work. Those are the heroes.

The peeps in the wheelchair should give rides to the peeps at the bus stops. Good way to pick up a few extra bucks.

Maybe Obama will send some buses. After he pays your mortgage, pays of your car, and gives you all of whitey’s stuff. Or maybe he’ll just use you to make himself rich like he has been doing all along, fools.

Dumb ass gorillas. Get your asshat kids under control and maybe you’ll get treated with some respect.

Yes there is a difference. One group thinks you succeed based on hard work and not using your skin color as an excuse for how much you have failed. The other group sits smoking blunts, waiting for the free gub’ment cheese.

Blacks come here frmo Africa and the Carribbean with no money in their pocket, and within a generation they are in the middle class. American blacks just stay in the ghetto. It’s NOT skin color. It’s lazy ass do nothings who prefer to stay on the Democrat Plantation and vote like ‘massa tells them to.

You are absolutely correct and the Democratic party is too blame for encouraging their laziness and reliance on government handouts which does nothing but keep them in economic slavery…
