Do Detroiters hate/resent themselves?

My answer: We hate the situation that we have made for ourselves. [[There is plenty of blame for Detroit's current situation to go around, but we have to look in the mirror first.)

We hate the lack of respect that is given to this city, yet we don't give that respect to our own citizens.

We hate the crime that goes on in this city, yet when it happens, the communities do little to solve the problem.

We direct our concerns and complaints to those that we elected to represent us, yet when someone gets too emotional, the elected officials can't take the heat, and do what we elected them to do: To represent the best interests of Detroit.

This and more...lots more.
