I thought I was imagining things this morning when I saw this on Fox Detroit News this morning but it's true....

Wow. That is kind of tithering on the border of racism and brillance. I don't know what to say about it. On one hand I don't think it's right to seperate people based on race, but on the other hand if their plan works and they don't put this in some $hithole part of town and actually pour money into it to make it good, I think it will help the community.

Seriously wouldn't everyone like to live in a community that shared the exact same ideas, everyone got along, people you didn't like didn't come around, all of the stores that you would like to go to are right near your house? It's not a terrible idea, but it's kinda touchy. People will take this the wrong way.

That is preposterous. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, right? If you cannot create a "white town" because it would be considered racist then the same applies to Africa Town.

What a crock. Money paid by taxpayers of all races should not be used to benefit one race.

I like this part...

The report also complains that immigrants from Mexico, Asia and the Middle East are stealing resources, jobs and other opportunities from blacks and calls on city leaders to stop the economic shift.

Aren't they stealing jobs from 'everyone' in that case?

i always called Detroit "Africa Town". b4 you flame ask yourself have you ever been there?


No one steals jobs. if we want to look at everyone as equals we shouldnt be mad when they get jobs. if they take jobs for less money then you need to start taking jobs for less.

I agree. What goes for one race should go for all. No matter what race it is.
