I think that Detroiters have a certain swag. I know that I have it and I know others who do. As I have traveled the country, and I ask people to guess my hometown, and I give them a hint of the Midwest, 70% of the people have guessed it right.
Now many people say that they can tell a Detroiter, some say that Detroiters wear loud colors or just plain sharp dressers, some say that we carry ourselves with a certain air of aggressiveness, some say that we act smart whatever that means, and some say that we have a sort of "I ain't going to take no stuff" attitude. And, now I am known to say, hey you better watch out, I'm from Detroit, even though I wouldn't hurt a fly.
I remember the time I was in NYC meeting with some guys from the Bronx and one person said "Watch your wallet, he's from Detroit", well I just took his girl instead. I couldn't believe it, the Bronx, I was never more afraid than when I was in the Bronx.
Well, I think Detroiters get a great education, not just because we got the famous Cass Tech, my old spot, Renaissance or any other DPS, or UofD jurist, or grade school like Waldor, [[trying to be inclusive) or college like WSU or the quietly famous CCS. Detroiters get well prepared when we take advantage of the resources here.
Plus, sense Detroit is not a city that attracts a lot of people most of us are homegrown, so we don't have to be fake and then take that fakeness to other cities.
We are real and we really just have swag.
