I asked in the Detroit Free Press and I'll ask again...where were the protesters when former mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (currently cooling his heels in federal prison awaiting sentencing)was robbing them blind? If anyone is racist in Detroit it's the hard core "black slate" folks on the completely incompetent city council. They are the ones who perpetuate the "us vs. them" mentality. They need to wake up and realize it's not the 1970's anymore. They're the same ones who yelled and screamed that the state was trying to take away Belle Isle, a once beautiful park in the Detroit river. The residents of Detroit don't care who owns or takes care of Belle Isle as long as it's clean and safe; which it isn't, now.
