"Detroit needs less cheerleaders" opposed to what? Haters? Apathy? I can't even fathom this mindset because I have lived in the metro area 3/4 of my adult life and have witnessed how the hate and apathy from surrounding, out state and even out of state communities contributed to sending the city into a spiral of failure with disastrous results for the humanity that resides within its borders.
All Detroit residents deserve every ounce of pride they have in the city for many powerful reasons but the attitude of "to hell with them their not one of us" is guaranteed to make the city an island of poverty for a very long time.
"Cheerleaders" as you call them care. People that care about other human beings is the only thing that makes a civilized society. Without it there is only war and death. The history of mankind proves this fact.
