    "Regardless of all that, did nobody think of the optics of this? I'm afraid that this project goes in the column of "indescribably stupid."

    And that stupid girl from the New York Times reporting on all the new businesses creating a glimmer of niceness wasn't she STUPID to not find all the exciting Black-owned businesses in Corktown and include a few:

    "Of course, it’s true that Corktown is a Detroit neighborhood that has had its fair share of white residents over the years, but it still rankles us that the New York Times comes to Detroit regularly, but only visits neighborhoods like Corktown and Midtown, almost exclusively covers businesses that are white-owned, white-operated and catering to whites, when Detroit is 82 percent black. You’d think you’d like some representative coverage, yes?”

    Too dramatic. When journalists get stuff wrong, they sometimes apologize.

    I swear, for all the invective some of our Caucasian posters here heap upon Al Sharpton, they often behave like white versions of him when it comes to stuff like this.
