DETROIT: Governor is too sensitive about bullshit...

Governor Snyder is so concerned about being called a racist that he is going out of his way to show that he is only interested in Detroit’s welfare and wants to help Detroit get back on its financial feet, that he is appointing a blue ribbon team of distinguished blacks and a few whites, to recommend to the governor, steps that he needs to take to save Detroit’s ass from bankruptcy.

I can appreciate the governor’s caution not to anger the idiots in Detroit playing the race card for reasons only available to them alone. The facts are in and Detroit is in a death spiral mainly because of years and years of incompetence and corruption that the leaders of Detroit do not want to give up. They would rather the state and federal governments give them more money so that they could continue funding their incompetence and corruption!

I think Michiganians of all colors have had about enough of this racial bullshit being played out in Detroit and they want someone to come in, as they have done in other Michigan cities, and kick some ass.

The local papers have been showing the public how bad bankruptcy would be for Detroit and they also are highlighting what great work and great outcomes, emergency managers in other decrepit Michigan cities, have managed to produce.

Why is there a problem in Detroit when other cities have been deemed insolvent and taken over by the state with no commotion?

Why are we playing this stupid game with the likes of Jessie Jackson and all the rest of the religious leaders that want to maintain the status quo because of what?

The politicians backing this idiocy have a simple rationale; they just want the votes come election time and why would Detroiters vote for these useless people who obviously have not done Detroit any good in all these years?

This is fast becoming a grand fiasco and the importance of Detroit on the national and international stage has been way overplayed and the influence of Detroit and Detroiters on local, regional or state politics has definitely been overestimated.

Detroit is Michigan and if it is to remain a representative city of the state then it must be a viable city first, able to sustain itself and govern itself responsibly. This cannot happen with the way things are right now so it must be leveled and then rebuilt and all those who have and continue to benefit from the incompetence and corruption of city government, to be shown the door with no chance of ever coming back.

The appointment of the blue ribbon team of respected black professionals to review city finances is just postponing the inevitable; we all know how bad city finances are so why go this route?

The white governor obviously does not want to be portrayed as the white plantation owner coming to straighten things out among his slaves. The fact that we are even talking in this fashion is totally absurd and the fact that we are even allowing this kind of talk in this day and age, makes us as idiotic as the idiots talking that way!
