Regardless of his merits or the conflict, this is downright creepy:
"Morgan has been doing business in Detroit for years. Now, the city is asking him to submit a birth certificate showing who is[[sic) parents are and what their race is.
"

Apartheid, anyone?

I'm picturing the old phrase "Your papers are not in order!" except instead of with a German accent, B. A. Baracus saying it.

It's the same reason the Charles H. Wright Museum receives over a MILLION DOLLARS EACH YEAR FROM A BANKRUPT CITY [[while the Detroit Historical Museum and DIA receive about 10% of what the CHW receives, and theirs will probably drop to zero). It's the same reason JoAnn Watson is on City Council. The old institutionalized race-baiting game. Nothing new to Detroit city politics or government.
