Got that straight, bro.

I don't know nuthin' 'bout no buried treasure. Especially one that's twenty paces west of the Belle Isle Casino north entrance, seven paces east of the trash barrel, twenty-five paces north to the elm tree lined up with the no standing sign.
Nothing but old, dead leaves, worms and a few Stroh pop-tops buried underneath the largest east-facing limb. Plenty more to keep you busy in this city, so go on, scram!

Besides, there's no "booty" to be plundered here since the island is shut down at dusk anyhow.

I had a dream they made a movie about White Boy Rick. The world premiere was at the Fox and Kid Rock was there in a "super fly" coat. Or does that seem far-fetched?

I almost bought a car off his dad- their both slime & I wouldn't trust a single thing either of them said.

/Florida flood car - ugh

Doesn't Kid Rock's dad, own Marty Feldman Chevrolet in Novi? Or is this suppose to be a secret?

Well, this gets off topic for a moment- White Boy Rick was a drug dealer, Kid Rock in music...

Anyways, its no secret Kid Rock's dad was a car dealer. Bill Ritchie used to own [[part of) Crest Lincoln Mercury on Van Dyke. Another owner of that dealership- Paul Alandt is married to Benson Ford's daughter- Lynn.
Bill Ritchie used to be active with NADA and the NAIAS. Thought he sold out and retired. He might have invested in other dealers like Marty Feldman, who knows?

Marty Feldman?

If I remember correctly Marty Feldman, Jay Chevrolet and Liberty Chevrolet are all owned by the same corporation. Not sure if Kid Rock's father is involved.

Why is this guy callled "whiteboy Ricks"? If he was black and you called him blackboy ricks, there would be a huge uproar. I guess its that damn double standard again. Or is his first name Whiteboy? What makes it so important that everyone know hes a "white boy"? Just sayin.......

Your "just sayin" sounds more like a rant than a real issue. But since you asked, I'll explain why he was named something that he accepted.

White Boy Rick was a young white kid that was in the drug game in Detroit during the 80's. If I do recall both him and his father were both busted in a big drug bust that included several blacks. He was called White Boy Rick because as most of us know, Detroit is a black majority city and at that time it was unheard of white kids selling and dealing dope in the inner city that was for the majority, known or labeled as a black thing. To a degree that's understandable seeing that most of the drug dealers in the city were/are black. Well, the ones that get caught.

Dealers getting nick names like this is nothing new. He's not the only guy with a name that seem racist or offensive to you. They do the same thing here on the west coast. Hispanics that are in the black gangs have a stereotype name and the same applies to blacks that are in the Hispanic games. Anyways, crying over what the guy's nick name is melodramatic. Cry over all of the drugs that he was selling to addicts like most dealers do.

Btw, he was one of the biggest to get caught in the game.

**Fury13** · March-27-10, 01:02 PM

Great explanation, Dove-7. I believe he came up for parole a couple of years ago. Denied, of course.

Rick's dad was never busted for drugs. He was convicted for "possesing" gun silencers. They went after his dad to keep his mouth shut. They had alot of info on corrupt cops and politicians that those in power did not want to be outed.
Rick wasn't one of the biggest. He was just a kid who got involved in the drug trade because of the Feds.

hmm... I'm surprised that WB-Rick hasn't inspired some straight to dvd biopic yet.. i'm thinking he'd make a good topic for BET's 'American Gangster' series, but that show's not actively producing anymore, just showing reruns now..

**detroitbob66** · March-28-10, 06:56 PM

You can look him up on Offender Tracking Information System [[OTIS) and see his current picture mugshot in prison. Been locked up for over twenty years and I think he deserves parole. You have rapists and killers that get parole, but Rick Wershe was just a drug dealer who, if released, wouldn't sell drugs ever again simply because of the fact that everyone would be watching his every move! He deserves another chance at life....FREE WHITE BOY RICK

What? Many guilty rapist and killers don't deserve parole, but that's another topic. What Rick had done was very serious. As for him being "just a drug dealer and will never do it again" is pretty sad to play that down. You have to look at the degree of the crime. We're not talking about someone that sold a couple of crack rocks to a customer here. What he will and won't do if he ever get out is speculation which don't equate to facts or knowing. There are plenty of drug dealers that served their time and got right back in the game only to get caught again.

I certainly see your point here. I would agree with what you say, but he deserves to get out soon. 22 years in prison is a good enough sentence for dealing drugs. Besides, he was only a tennage kid when he did all of this stuff. We all did stupid things when we were teenagers. I changed my life around after "doin time" and I am very successul today.

People thought the same thing about Butch Jones when he got out of prison: He'll be clean because he knows everyone will be watching him. And where is Jones now? Right back in federal prison serving 30 years for starting up another drug ring when he got out.

Rick is right where he needs and deserves to be. He wasn't some kid selling nickel bags on the corner; he was a major player in the drug trade.
