Detroit used to have the highest median income in the country. Where people could get paid good money for very unskilled work. With that being said, Detroit was very progressive. IMO EVERYBODY is to blame for what happened to Detroit. Bkack white rich poor suburban urban media politics on all levels. The 67' riots were just the catalyst to the inevitable. History shows cities that rely purely on manufacturing during a societies industrial era ALWAYS FALL if the do not adapt and diversify their economy. Detroit was akways and still is racist frankly. Realistically it doesnt matter it happened lets get over it. In Detroit we tend to look back too much and we need to stop.
