Two sentences that sums up many of the problems in Detroit:

"A variety of neighborhood activists and nonprofit leaders have opposed the Hantz Farms project as a corporate intrusion into the city's flourishing community gardening movement. In an e-mail this week to other activists, Malik Yakini, head of the Detroit Food Policy Council, a nonprofit advisory board, called the Hantz proposal a "land grab."

"And he said he was troubled by any plan that allows "a wealthy white man to acquire large tracts of publicly owned land" in Detroit"

Why does the race card have to be thrown out every time someone wants to do a good thing for Detroit?
