    Patric, I saw the film reel of that speech when he said that. Psip, rest in peace, showed it to a few of us and it was taken way out of context. CAY was talking about the criminals and thugs at that time. He was stating it was a new day in Detroit and they had better hit 8 mile.

    The racists and those who saw Detroit's demise used it as an excuse to leave.

    CAY, might never have been caught doing illegal stuff but I am sure he wasn't clean either. He was divisive in the community and placated to black voters, telling them what they wanted to hear while marginalizing the remaining middle class whites.

    Goat... I vaguely remember something about him owning 1 ounce gold Krugerrands.... but I can't remember if it was in regards to something suspect as illegal... or if it was because of the Apartheid controversy... and him dealing in that currency?
