Okay, so by now we all know what a glittering jewel Detroit was fifty years ago. Highest per capita income of any city in the country, blah, blah, blah.

Then yesterday a news report reminds everyone that it was 46 years ago that blacks in Detroit rioted, burned, looted, and in the end 40-something people died during the raging lawlessness. And in the aftermath whites started moving to the burbs they perceived as safer.

And now Detroit is a shit hole in part, according to some, because of "white flight." It's whitey's fault because they didn't feel comfortable trying to live peacefully and raise their kids near areas of potential violence at the drop of a hat. Go figure, huh?
