Believing in Detroit

Karen, I got to hand it to you. You are always optimistic about Detroit.
I love Detroit and have taken a beating or two because of it. As I defend the city, time after time, friends say to me....WHY? Give it up....Detroit is dead.....It will never come back. No one there will listen to good help.
I have gotten the e-mail with Detroit vs Hiroshima, with pictures, more times than I can count.
Move on and just look at your pictures if you want to remember Detroit. Your OLD picture because all that is gone.
However, here you are spreading yet another scrap of hope for us to grab and hold. I really want this or something to help. I'm tired of the looters and robbers and politians raping the city of money.
This will take a lot of hard work. I really hope people join with Sandy Hermanoff and make the changes Detroit has to have to survive. Not just survive but grow, repair, thrive and move on to greater times than ever.
Thanks, Karen for being the cheerleader for the city I love, Detroit, Michigan.

Karen is our Mary Poppins in tough times.
And you got to love her for that.

Problem is there are a number of stupid white folk who think that black folk are so stupid that they can;t do anything right.

Great way to get things done.

Time and again those white folk used dirty advertising techniques to disrupt black folks who are integrous and trying to do the right thing. And that the Black folk that they promote are the ones that we should follow.

Great way to win friends and influence people.

So those same stupid white folks are really making it rough for the city. But they have convinced themselves that they are doing the right thing.

Look at the light rail campaign... the stupid white folk at it again destined for all sorts of kick backs and it is such an old and passe solution and if you look at John Gallagher's
revelations on density by showing DDD's work closely enough you will notice that the lowest density is right along Woodward. Great thinking eh? Modern electric buses with neat ministations really is the way to go. Would they listen to that? Why absolutely not, they're stupid and don't read books concerned with the City.

Or consider the Initiative by the EFM. It's totally corrupt yet the stupid editors of our papers don't get it and drone on that if only we would elect a Republican Governor all would be solved.

It's become quite fashionable lately to become an EFM. Stupid white folk will throw money at you and genuflect before you. Very profitable new field indeed. Just go hire a savior and cow tow.

The press constantly runs stuff that has the undercurrent conversation that Democrats don't know what the hell they are doing, and it completely ignores the horrors vested upon us by the Republicans recently.

So yup we do need a Mary Poppins to keep our sanity, providing that she doesn't run around telling us how wonderful the houses are that the Republicans own and that those hideous and grotesque monsters are something that we should aspire to.

;D
