Many people are brilliant and wrong. I think we should get a military historian to tell us how a few brilliant people were wrong and got the asses handed to them. Brilliance is often wrong. Think about the Third Reich. Smart guys all. They were wrong.

I can accept that some of the black leaders meet the criteria. But recently they certainly haven't been [[civicly) rich.

You certainly missed the boat on that one! How did the non DLHR policies of the black power structure help the city in the new global economy?

Obviously nobody was able to save the city from bankruptcy. I don't get your point. Mine is that what differentiates Detroit from others is what Orr has said. We were too successful and never adjusted to new reality.
