For decades Detroit was the sickest city in the country AND was "ruled" by a corrupt race baiter, Coleman Young.

During his regime... the decline was steep and steady... especially economically!

A million residents migrated elsewhere.

Ultimately, there was no choice but bankruptcy... which wiped out the incredible debt as well as all the useless, corrupt government programs that had caused it.

Fortunately, Detroit's citizens also rejected race baiting politics and elected a mayor who actually properly managed the city's government functions.

He was a Democrat... but they didn't care that he was white!

The people saw beyond identity and elected competency!

Identity politics is antithetical to good governance.
