For forty years, black people have been in political control of Detroit and have had ample time to create a community where an entrepreneurial spirit flourishes and economic doors are opened by black ingenuity and leadership. They dictated who was in control of the economic table in Detroit and decided who got a seat. Now, they whine

After all, it was white men like Henry Ford who created the auto industry and its abundance of jobs that attracted blacks from the southern states of America back in the 1910s and 1920s, when the city of Detroit was 99 percent white.

Why, in the absence of white people, weren't black individuals able to collectively create community conditions that corporations (both American and International) wanted to invest in and open corporate offices?





These are questions you, Jim DeMint, don't want to ask and assiduously work to steer Heritage Foundation away from even addressing (though the majority of your individual donors still believe in an America that looks like Norman Rockwell's paintings); 83 percent black Detroit, President Putin, is an affirmation of your powerful take-down of 'American Exceptionalism' so many of my countrymen still religiously believe in, all the while pretending the ghost of Ronald Reagan holds their hand.

A nation based on a 'creed' or 'beliefs' isn't a nation at all.
