I used to agree with you. But not any more. I don't have children and so never had to expose children to such dysfunction, such mindless violence, such blight in their hometown. Now I think that those who left made the right decision for their families.
Last night the adult unemployed grandsons of my black neighbors in SW Detroit came out at 9:00 PM and turned a boom-box on to booming, echoing club music and practiced a loud dance routine in the street until after 10:30 PM. Amid shouts, stomping, booming music, the sexy dancing went on, repeating the routine for 90 minutes.
I am just home from the hospital and would have wanted to rest - but no rest possible. Children have school. Others have to work in the morning., as I do. Some people just want peace in their homes.
I think that's just a little iconic moment for me. My neighbors have a culture that doesn't include work, includes sucking off the grandparents social security, club culture, inability to keep the utilities on, unpaid taxes, lack of respect from all in that house for other people's cultures that do include getting up in the early morning for work and school, etc. I guess this is the diversity that you think I should support - I just can't take it and I repeat that the people who moved away made the right decision for their families who don't need to support all this dysfunction
