My previous blog “IS CALLING DETROIT A BLACK FAILURE RACIST”? was prompted by a white, city attorney, so frustrated with a basically black court system, she called it a “Ghetto Court” at which point she was called racist and fired from her position. My blog sought to explain the “black political culture” in Detroit that is so ruinous to the city.
I was very buoyed by letters to the editor from black residents of Detroit that agreed with the fired lawyer that the Detroit court was dysfunctional and ill managed and that judges on the court were plainly incompetent (judges are elected). They went on to say that hiding one’s incompetence by playing the race card is unacceptable in this day and age.
The fact that some black Detroiters themselves are fed up with the city’s incompetent bureaucracy which is stymieing their business or personal progress, is the best sign ever that change may be on the way.
These Detroiters do not see just black or white, they see competent or incompetent, qualified or a political/family appointee, they see themselves as part of a unified Detroit, a Detroit that needs desperately to shed its racist culture and start to behave (vote) like a city that is ready for real progress and growth.
