Where were you during the 1967 Detroit Riot?

[Shollin]

So why did most white folk leave? Were the white folk in Detroit more fearful than other whites living in Chicago, Philly or Milwaukee etc..? Riots occured in most northern cities during the late 60's early 70's but most white folk stayed put in other cities except Detroit.... Whites in Detroit fled unlike other whites in other cities....why??

Unlike those cities, all the jobs moved to the suburbs. The big 3 invested billions in new facilities in the suburbs. Then there was the natural move to more suburban lifestyle. Plus Detroit was the murder capital of the US in the 70's.
