Many of us were there in 1967, the point being you wasn't. You seem to rely on so many past issues to account for the present, don't you? The fact of the matter is that Mayor Kilpatrick brought this scandal on himself & the city taxpayers by lying in the first place; Then actually covering it up with Stefani, along with discussions through city-paid devices seeming to laugh off the firing of 3 valuable DPD officers. Of course you wouldn't remember when Kwame & his mother Carolyn were State Reps, would you? Look uop Kwame's voting record on key issues in the Legislature-Kwame Kilpatrick MISSED 365 voting sessions, 2nd only to another Rep from Detroit. This was in a one-year period from Jan 01 to Jan 02. And you want to say he has always cared for Detroit or Michigan for that matter??? PLEASE!!!

PS the city fell apart to this level under uncle coleman.

For someone attenting college you seem a bit immature in posting here

In my opinion most don't care now, they just like to complain. If the city's doing good or bad doesn’t matter to them, it's just something to talk about. I bet if you ask the loudest mouths in here whoTALK about the city of Detroit’s issues haven’t been to the city in YEARS.
Some fools even wanted to boycott Detroit, when they don't even come to the city anyway! What would that have fixed?
If they loved Detroit so Much why did they leave?
Most that talk, do just that. TALK!

Seedub , we left because we are " SMART " .
And you of all people talking about race is just too funny :) !

Thanks Colt ! I think Seedub is after the dink [ double income no kids ].

Seedub quoting Booker T. Washington. Wow, now that's funny...hypocritical as it comes.

As an individual we are responsible for the results of our actions based on our good, bad or stupid ways! There is no provision in the law stating any race gets a pass when commiting Felonies! When payment for crimes comes due they may take Visa or Mastercard, but the race card is not accepted!

I'm sure he's was talking to all races, but it's funny that you would try and exclude your culture.

Busy day Today I'll be back later.


p.s.
What have you done to help the city even when you lived here?

Coleman YOUNG WAS NOT THAT BAD. IF YOU PEOPLE KEEP PUSHING DETROIT, IN YOUR TOWN IT MIGHT BE ANOTHER RIOT OF 1967.
Young's 1973 Mayoral campaign addressed the role an almost all white police department had in inflicting violence upon a mostly black city. Young pledged the elimination of one particularly troubled police unit, STRESS (Stop the Robberies and Enjoy Safe Streets.) This one police unit had killed eight black citizens in its first four months of operation. In November 1973, Young narrowly defeated Police Commissioner John F. Nichols (who would later serve as Oakland County Sheriff) to become Detroit's first black mayor. Young promptly disbanded the STRESS unit, integrated the police department and increased patrols in high crime neighborhoods utilizing a community policing approach.

Young won re-election by very wide margins in November 1977, November 1981, November 1985 and November 1989, for a total of 20 years as mayor.

Young's administration was controversial, and he found himself the subject of continued FBI scrutiny amid allegations of contract kickbacks, although no evidence was ever found. He was criticized for his confrontational style toward suburban interests and the apparent diversion of city resources to downtown Detroit from other neighborhoods. Young was generally popular with the inhabitants of the city proper, while generally disliked by those of the suburbs.

Young was a tireless advocate for federal funding for Detroit construction projects, and his administration saw the completion of the Renaissance Center, Detroit People Mover, Joe L
