Renaissance Center at a Crossroads?

You don't need to Google his quotation to know that it's fictitious. Just ask "What evil empire would say that?"

Any cause that has to resort to imagining enemies cannot itself be legitimate.

Sorry, but all true. My dad used to work for Wayne County and knew a city councilman [[trying to remember his name now) who told him the story.

He was kind of angry about it because he said it was a bunch of white woke liberals who were doing this, the same ones who treat black folks like helpless victims instead of people with agency [[NOTHING has changed).

He said all of his constituents would just roll their eyes and say "those dumb-a** white folks are at it again". He wished they would actually help people in the city rather than do what we call "virtue signalling".

Oh well, at least we know this isn't something new in the last few years....

Probably because they were provincial racists and defaulted to that position when seeing a Japanese-American guy getting work here? Noguchi was one of the most prominent artists in the world, and the work he did was a perfect fit for Detroit. Are there any white guys who would have been better suited for the job?

A second hand story from your father? Must be true! I didn't realize the term "woke" was used then as well. Did he say libtard too or is that your own ignorant spin on Detroit hiring one of the best designers of that period?
