City-billies
City-billies are what’s left in dying cities with diminishing populations. They’re the people left behind... the people who can’t leave.
They’re the folks that liberals say they want to help, as they pack up their Subarus and get the hell out of Dodge (or in Hardcore Pawn’s case, Detroit). Hardcore Pawn is a thirty minute tour of the city-billy life: the constant line of assorted folk selling everything from broken computers to beat-up construction equipment in the sprawling pawn shop, reminding you that every city targeted by the helping hand of government ends in abject misery. -- Gut Check: Intervention

Your Say
White liberals (along with most other whites) have been gone from Detroit since the 1970s. The black libs who've run the place since then are only out to line their own pockets by skimming revenues from Lansing and Washington, like African dictators with foreign aid money. Glad my family got out in the 1960s.
