Detropia

I find it is really odd how a certain type of white ex-Detroiter relishes the opportunity to masochistically chronicle the death, decay, and dismantlement of a once great city on film. But on the other hand such displays can get you noticed at the Sundance film festival and by the Huffington Post so there's that. Turn the camera around and speak into the microphone Ms. Ewing* and tell why you left Detroit?

Well they're finally admitting what's been the case for a while now

Democrats set to openly abandon White working-class interests in favor of Obama's coalition of elites, ethnic and racial groups, and public employees union members.

You won't have Kwame Kilpatrick to kick around any more news media!

Says the former Mayor of Detroit.  Forever playing the victim card. Do us all a favor bub and stay in Dallas.

Sign of the times...cont'd.

Put on your vest and make 'em hot!

The Detroit Free Press has an editorial today featuring numerous bitter complaints about the sky-high auto-insurance rates Detroiters have to pay, blasting term limits, and ending with some shrill comments about what a bitch it is living in the "D". Upshot: Detroit has lots of auto thefts, auto accidents, drivers with bad driving records, as well as lots of unlicensed drivers, many drivers with poor credit ratings (which are used to set rates) and so auto insurance is really high in the Detroit zip codes. Bottom line: It sucks to be part of the lumpen proletariat. Thanks for that news flash Freepers. I knew you were good for something.

Is Bob Dylan a racist because he blows off photo op with Obama?: Bob Dylan is not part of the celebrity cult of Obama worshippers . Good for Bob. Dylan publicly endorsed BO for pres in '08 but still to Dylan, even with that having your picture taken with the pres, whoever that may happen to be, is just gauche. And so good for Bob. But celebrity "garbologist" and stalker A.J. Weberman concludes that this is caused by Bob Dylan being an anti-black racist. I call BS. Dylan has a daughter who is half black and he has been singing about race relations since the early 1960's. Weberman is full of shit about Dylan being a racist. And as for Weberman's "garbology" fame, need I point out that anthropologists have been picking through ancient middens  for many years now and the practice didn't originate with him.

Another view of the "changing face of America" - ann arbor.com

School maintenance guy fired after 30 years for being white. As white people slip from majority to minority status over the next decade or so, look for stuff like this to get more and more commonplace and obscenely obvious.

This is both funny and sad. Maybe Detroit needs to follow the lead of that city in California that also had a scandal-tainted police force and just disband the DPD completely and contract with the sheriff's office for police services. Seriously.
