DETROIT: Quit spitting at people trying to help you or else...

This morning’s paper got my blood boiling again.

I have been ranting against certain Detroiters making a big deal about the emergency manager law which will put Detroit and its residence under a manager with “dictatorial” power. Every sane person knows that Detroit is in a hopeless financial situation and only “extreme” measures will save its ass from bankruptcy.

And yet, the race card is being played not only by the mayor but, as I mentioned before, religious pastors of Detroit and now they are being joined by the REVEREND Jessie Jackson who is the biggest hypocrite (adulterer) and racist social activist as they come.

One thing Jackson said really went to the core of this nonsense; He said WHERE IS THE MONEY?

His rationale is since the government bailed out banks and auto companies, why can’t it bail out Detroit.

Note: I have not figured out why Detroit religious pastors are taking up the battle against the emergency manager law…what do they have to gain or what do they have to lose? How does an emergency manager impact local churches?

I know Detroit pastors are courted during elections for their endorsement so are they scared of losing political power since elected officials may just be fired by the emergency manager? Do the pastors somehow lose out financially?

More importantly, do the pastors realize that an emergency manager is actually good for the city and its residents and can prevent the city from going into bankruptcy which would be disastrous for the city and its residents?

Back to Jackson and: where is the money? This is a common question Detroit has been asking federal politicians for years. Democratic presidents showered Detroit with all sorts of money throughout the years and what does Detroit have to show for it: nada!!!

That is because the culture of incompetence and corruption which has existed in Detroit for ever and still does to this day, takes millions of dollars from the state and federal government and makes them disappear without a trace AND THEY WANT THIS PRACTICE TO CONTINUE?

I have been saying all along that keeping Detroit black, corrupt and incompetent does benefit a number of people and it appears those people include the pastors of the various Baptist churches in Detroit.

I wish the local newspapers would conduct some investigative reporting and reveal the real reasons these people are objecting to someone “fixing” Detroit’s financial morass, once and for all.

I will have to add another point and that is “alienation”. I know of many people, myself included, that grew up in Detroit and then moved to the suburbs mainly for safety reasons and for better educational opportunities for our children BUT we have always called ourselves Detroiters or from Detroit and honestly cared about the city and wished nothing but the best for the city and its residents and many of us actually did things to help the city.

Throw in race card playing twits that remind everybody THIS IS OUR CITY and don’t be TRYING TO TAKE OVER OUR CITY but give us MONEY so we can keep governing in the same incompetent and corrupt way we always have and some of us may just say OK…go bankrupt and see what happens!

You can only spit in the eye of people honestly trying to help the city so many times…over time, we may tire of the racist language and may vote with our tax dollars to bulldoze the place and start from fresh!
