"What’s a huge difference between San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Austin, Pittsburgh…and Detroit? Demographics."

Salon.com, which has fallen off the deep end of the progressive tugboat into a bottomless ocean of cognitive dissonance, published an article initially called “White People Killed Detroit” that was later amended to “Who Killed Detroit?” That old bugaboo known as “white flight,” which involved Caucasians fleeing a once-thriving city in the wake of vicious riots, escalating crime, and felonious black-nationalist mayors, was pinned on white bigotry rather than black behavior.

You might want to visit San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Austin, or Pittsburgh.

There are few opportunities to advance in the art of life without experiencing profound regret. The incapacity of the left to experience personal shame has unleashed intellectual hell.

"Wreckers!"

In almost every situation in life, multiple parties are involved. In every failure, accident, or disaster, there are generally multiple things that go wrong, mistakes by more than one person, bad reactions to actions, and so on that could have prevented the final result, if not entirely, at least from being so devastating.

The difference between a wise man and a fool is that the wise man first assesses his own contributing errors. The fool first loudly proclaims the errors of everyone else.

Its an absurd lie to say that white people leaving Detroit caused its fall but think about that accusation. What you're saying is "black people are so worthless that without big whitey around to run things right, it turns into Detroit!"

That's supposed to be against racism?

So, according to the Left's meme, white folks were supposed to stick around Detroit and take whatever criminal outrages the black folks were willing to dish out, keep forking over their tax dollars, and play the willing patsy to successive kleptocratic Democratic (but I repeat myself) administrations? Glad my parents got us out when they did, about 10 months before the 1967 riots.

On the upside, housing has never been more affordable in Detroit than now. And the white-on-black crime rate in Detroit is way down from what it once was. And I hear that rush hour in Detroit is a thing of the past.

Who says that there is not good news to be found there?

And if you need a gun chances are you can find one in a ditch somewhere. Might need cleaning.

Remember kids, when two black men kill each other it is always some white guy's fault.

Liberalism is just the modern form of White Man's Burden.

James Wilson, there's a thousand mile trek in your single sentence.

Can't debate with those people. It really is win or lose now.

When asked by a Crusader leader - at the siege of Béziers, France in 1209 - how to distinguish Cathars from Catholics, Arnaul Amalric replied:

“ Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius."

Kill them all. For the Lord knoweth them that are His
