And if the people of Detroit vote a guy in or out of office based on his or her "blackness" they get what they deserve. I don't know how this sound or it's coming off, but I'm about as disgusted as the next guy, and I try to defend Detroit.

I was with you in trying to defend Detroit for a long time. But this latest lunacy has just turned me off completely to that city. Not just KK and his actions and that haughty bitch Beatty, which are bad enough, but the fact that you have idiots like Monica Conyers and Barbara Rose-Collins who don't even think the mayor should be censured for his actions, and not to mention the general population who still supports him. I mean what does he have to do for some people to even consider that maybe he shouldn't be mayor...behead a nun on national TV?
The last straw for me is that somehow, against all odds, Detroit has turned this into a race thing yet again. Never mind that pretty much all the major players in this whole affair are black and the people who are being hurt most by it are black. A lot of people in Detroit have yet again swallowed the line that this is the white man trying to keep the black man down.
I can only turn the other cheek for so long and when it becomes apparent that, no matter how open and understanding about race relations I am supposed to be, others can be racist as hell towards me and my race and its acceptable in the eyes of many...then screw 'em. I'm not spending another dime of my $$$ down there while that kind of system is in place. Detroit and its residents can sink in the hate filled racist ****hole its created for itself.
