There goes my southern Baptist cabal theory...
But I still stick to my theory based on being born in Detroit and living in City of for fifty years that Detroit is a dysfunctional southern city. I base that on a take [[not an original of mine) that southerners, white and black, did not bring a culture of small business ownership skills or an intelligentsia other than preachers with them when they moved north.
When the established classes moved out and in effect disinvested in Detroit, the result was a populace with too many lumpen proletarians and not enough producers. I include a number of preachers and political figures like Kwame as being part of the lumpen class.
