Read The Origins of the Urban Crisis. It's a very complex story, but a very in-depth look at the long-lasting affects of segregation and racism.

Why always white people blame others? get over urself! do something for u and only u..if you see this "black" people make more money, then get up, get a degree work for yourself and have the same things these others are having. But dont sit there and blames others because u are nothing but a loser.

Can someone honestly explain to me the black culture. I would seriously like to know why there is such low achievement and high poverty compared to other ethnicities and cultures. What happened to Detroit? Not trying to be mean here, just wondering if someone has an opinion.

In 1947 I went to this school from kindergarten to 6th grade. In 1953 I then went on to Burroughs Junior High from 7th to 9th grade. I then moved on to Highschool. I drove by cooper many years ago and it was still running. Kids were out and I never saw 1 white face. The neighborhood that I grew up in is no longer there How sad. What happened? The blacks took over Belle Isle and then Detroit. I hope they’re happy. It is saddening to drive through the city streets and downtown and even the roads are terrible. We never had year books in cooper and now I wish we did. By the way…I still have my autograph book from Cooper. Ahh Such memories

This is what happens when blacks become the majority – totally regressive and decay ridden.
