SAME OLD BLACK CULTURE IN DETROIT OR NOT?











Today, our former mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick went to jail for 120 days; I will not burden you with the whys’ – see previous blogs.

The man stood before the judge UNREPENTANT and actually ARROGANT TO THE END. He did not apologize to the city or its inhabitants for stealing their money and living large off their hard earned tax dollars. He did not apologize for lying his ass off UNDER OATH. He did not apologize for using the city as his personal playground and he did not apologize for using the citizens of Detroit as his dumb ass puppets.

He was scolded by a white judge for all the above but I wished a black judge would have done that but the last black judge that had anything to do with this case, tried to free him.

When he was handcuffed and led to prison, his supporters cheered and his wife offered her support even though he cheated on her numerous, now public times.

I did not see any Detroit blacks protesting outside with signs saying that he deserved more jail time for what he did to the city and as I have stated before, this is a black culture problem that needs addressed or there NEVER will be a time when Detroit residents are considered just plain citizens of Detroit and Michigan with the welfare of both as their primary concern.

My wife, who is big in the Detroit MLK Annual March Organization, assures me that there are MANY black Detroiters that are mad as hell about what Kilpatrick did to the city but I do not see much proof of that on TV or in the papers.

Kwame’s father was on TV saying his son was railroaded and that he will return ; his father is also under investigation by the FBI for corruption, etc. while a city employee. It seems his whole family was on the take, using their blackness to its full extent.

There are 18 black contenders for the office of mayor, all saying that the city needs a real mayor, one who actually cares for the welfare of the city and its citizens and maybe some of them really mean it. But I have to wonder, how many of them see another black kingship in the making.

Kilpatrick has already said that the citizens of Detroit have set him up for a triumphant return when he gets out of jail and I have to wonder if he knows something I don’t know.
