There weren't too many Detroiters who voted for that crook.
The corruption charges against Kwame didn't come out until he had already been re-elected, and the assertion that Detroiters would have voted for him anyway was clearly disproven when we bounced his mother out of congress in the following election, even though she was not implicated or accused of any wrongdoing.
If Detroiters were so "brainwashed" and suspicious of "the man", then we would not have elected our next two mayors from outside of the city. Detroiters want change and reform, we just aren't getting it, no matter who we vote for.
