  1. I didn't say anyone said that in this thread....

    I didn't say anyone said that in this thread. Surely you have heard this criticism before, though. If not, perhaps you haven't been paying attention, because for years some people have insisted it's...
  2. People act like forcing cops to live in the city...

    People act like forcing cops to live in the city will lead to better policing. It won't. Because it didn't.

    The residency rule was in place during the years leading up to the consent judgment. So...
  3. Amen. People don't realize they're being played....

    Amen. People don't realize they're being played. The media constantly hammers home all the things that divide us. It's not a new concept; every competent ruler in history has known the value of...
  4. So...no specific examples then?

    So...no specific examples then?
  5. I'm still not understanding why this is even...

    I'm still not understanding why this is even being discussed. Of course people shouldn't be stopped from spewing hatred. Who said otherwise? I just said, if it's crucial to democracy that journalists...
  6. Ok, he didn't blame white people for "everything...

    Ok, he didn't blame white people for "everything on earth." He blamed the entire race for what some white people did...decades/centuries ago. It's like saying, "oh, a large percentage of black people...
  7. Amen. Most folks are in the middle trying to live...

    Amen. Most folks are in the middle trying to live life. Personally, I think there's entirely too much discussion about our differences, and it's a way for the man behind the curtain to divide and...
  8. I have a history of keeping women and minorities...

    I have a history of keeping women and minorities from enjoying advantages? Actually, I don't. And I can't speak for anyone in the past. And I don't think there's a war on Christmas. And I'm not a...
  9. I agree with everything you said here. However,...

    I agree with everything you said here. However, whoever said anything about banning anybody? I don't recall that even coming up in this discussion, so why are you saying people shouldn't be banned...
  10. Yeah, these guys are going through all sorts of...

    Yeah, these guys are going through all sorts of conniptions in order to advance their crazy worldview. I don't get it. Either you're against bigotry and think it should be called out, or you don't....
  11. 1. Reading is fundamental. Did you even read that...

    1. Reading is fundamental. Did you even read that paragraph I transcribed? Or are you so eager to bolster your agenda, instead of actually reading what I wrote, you instead pull out the handbook and...
  12. 1. Dude. I provided a link to his speech, and...

    1. Dude. I provided a link to his speech, and transcribed the pertinent part.

    2. I'm not trying to compare Trump to Farrakhan; I'm poking holes your argument, which is that, because everyone...
  13. Um, yeah, that link proved my point. Here's the...

    Um, yeah, that link proved my point. Here's the first paragraph:

    "Avowed anti-feminist and internet provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos will speak at Michigan State University today as part of his...
  14. I read both the News and Freep stories. Neither...

    I read both the News and Freep stories. Neither one mentioned that he opened his remarks by blaming white people for all the evil in the world.

    I also see tepid references to his racism, buried...
  15. No, this thread is about the media and...

    No, this thread is about the media and Farrakhan's open bigotry in the very first words of his speech not warranting a mention. By your logic, the next time Donald Trump tells a lie, the media should...
  16. Bullcrap. Under this logic, you're saying if...

    Bullcrap. Under this logic, you're saying if David Duke comes to Detroit and spews racism, it's ok for the media to omit the racist stuff because everyone already knows Duke is racist?
  17. Omitted from news stories about Farrakhan's speech this weekend

    I just read both News and Freep stories about Farrakhan's speech this weekend. Somehow, both papers managed to omit his incredibly racist opening remarks, in which he rails against white people, who...

    Yeah, I'm sure he's turned over a new leaf and stopped hooking up his friends and family. Or maybe he hasn't been caught yet.

    I guess leopards sometimes change their spots. Right?

    And there's...

    My point is: he's a cronyism politician just like the rest of them. No matter how well he speaks.

    Yeah, Warren Evans is great .... when he's not having sex with subordinates, and then giving them cushy jobs for which others are better-qualified...or handing his brother Blair Evans lucrative...

    Maybe the Free Press can do a story blaming white flight for Eastland's problems.

    St. Patrick's has been doing wonderful work in the Cass Corridor for decades. Sister Mary Watson deserves a medal.

    It's funny how people formulate opinions based on erroneous assumptions. While it makes for a good narrative to lay this at the feet of the evils of gambling, you want to know the real story?

    Maybe Mr. I can get his buddies in city government to pull eminent domain on some more private landowners so he can have more parking lots, the way he did when we built Comerica Park for him.

    He's...

    For chrissakes, quit whining every time someone says bad things about Detroit. What do you want? Yet another glowing report about Phil Cooley? [[Did you know he used to be a fashion model?) And what...
