Thread: Detroit in ruins/How diversity enriches (photo essay)

Detroit was an industrial center of the US, and had a population of over two million, but the Blacks made the city more and more dangerous and eventually killed the city.

Car companies would not rebuild plants that had become surrounded by Blacks because no Whites wanted to travel into those neighborhoods.

The Ruins of Detroit

Appendix 1: THE MULTI-RACIAL DECLINE OF CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - A PHOTOGRAPHIC ESSAY
THE RUINS OF DETROIT
Please note: This photographic essay is not meant to imply that all areas of the cities in question resemble the photographs. These pictures merely reflect regions, or suburbs, where White Flight has been the most extreme.

According to the 2000 US census, 88% of Detroit's population is non-White. This percentage is even higher in the city center. Detroit qualifies as the most ruined city in the USA. In addition to massive White Flight, the non-White residents started the tradition - which has spread to other cities - of "Devil's Night". This is the habit or burning down parts of the city on the night before Halloween.
A huge non-White population, combined with annual arson attacks, bankruptcy, crime and decay, have combined to make Detroit - once the USA's leading automotive industrial center - into a ruin comparable with those of the ancient civilizations - with the cause being identical: the replacement of the White population who built the city, with a new non-White population.

Above left: The elevated "People Mover" train rounds the abandoned Statler Hotel in Detroit city center.
Above right: when the "People Mover" was launched in the early 1980s, the smashed windows and buildings of the many abandoned buildings along its route presented an image problem for the non-White city fathers. In a move almost comical in nature, windows eye level to the train were covered and painted. In the case of the Statler Hotel awnings were added to shield the view of the lower windows. Since then, many of the awnings have fallen off.

Above: Two views of the former Grand Army of the Republic building - once the gathering spot for Michigan's American Civil War veterans' organization. The building, like so much else in Detroit, is in ruins, its former White users having long since left.
Detroit used to be America's automotive manufacturing center: this was the city where Henry Ford built his greatest factories and where he revolutionized the production process. When Detroit became a non-White city, virtually all of these White-driven engineering works closed down, as the pictures below sadly show:

Above: The Ford Motor Company Model T building on Piquette Avenue, which oversaw the production of the Model T factory is now a deserted crumbling ruin. The original Model T Ford factory, (three pictures below), is equally deserted and also a ruin.


It was not only Ford that had automotive plants in White Detroit: other companies such as Packard and Studebaker also had factories there when the city was majority White. Today, with the changed demographics and non-White city population, only the ruins of these once-great American industries remain. Below, three views of the shattered shell of the Studebaker Plant on Piquette Ave.

I have always observed that wherever you find the negro, everything is going down around him, and wherever you find the white man you see everything around him improving."

Robert E. Lee wrote that about a century and a half ago. Always before that, and for a hundred years afterward, every White person knew the truth of Lee's words. Now most seem to have forgotten.

Jews come on television and tell us just the opposite, saying, "Our diversity is our strength." In thousands of cases, involving towns, cities and schools, we have seen the truth of Lee's observation borne out, and the jews' claim proven to be a lie. There has never been a single example of the opposite of Lee's statement occurring, yet we are told that Lee and his Southern descendants were wrong and bigoted, and the jews noble and truthful.

We are approaching a moment of decision in our White lands. For sure.

Somewhat unrelated but I recall an incident a couple of years ago in the Greater Houston area.

A female negro and her four children were re-located from New Orleans because of Katrina. She was given a five bedroom house in a prime location. The female negro took what cash she had and left for Africa to meet some sweet thing she met online. The young ones were left to fend for themselves for months.

Neighbors became concerned and when police investigated, they found a nightmare of filth and destruction and the $600,000 house had to be demolished. We are old and worked hard all our lives. We have to live frugally in a trailer house but are forced to pay taxes to support others living a lifestyle about which we can only dream.

Wonder where she and her brood are living now.

Detroit's Population Decline: 1 Person Departed Every 22 Minutes


Detroit's Population Decline: 1 Person Departed Every 22 Minutes | The Rundown News Blog | PBS NewsHour | PBS

Tuesday's release of the 2010 census data showed a dramatic decline in Detroit's population. Over the past 10 years, the city lost a quarter of its residents, bringing it down to a size similar to the pre-auto boom numbers of 1910. In fact, Michigan's was the only state population to decline between 2000 and 2010. Sarah Hulett, a reporter from Michigan Radio who covers Detroit, said that while many were expecting a drop in population, "what is a surprise, I think to a lot of people, is just how steep the drop has been." The current emigration rate means one person left the city every 22 minutes between 2000 and 2010.

I suppose I'd run away from Detroit, too, since it's become what it has become.

If diversity is so great, how come none of these White egalatarians are moving to Detroit to move into a very "diverse" area for a $1?

Detroit has been in decline for decades; its falling population is now well below a million – half of its 1950 peak. But the recent mortgage crisis and the fall of the big car makers into bankruptcy has pushed the town into a realm unique among big cities in America.

A third of the population are unemployed. Property prices have fallen 80% or more in large parts of Detroit over the last three years. The average price of a home sold in the city last year has been put at $7,500 (£4,900).

Selling for a dollar? I wonder if that price is still too high to live in such a bad city.

You know You could Read a Politically correct Article in a Magazine like
"the Economist" or a Paper like the Toronto "Globe and Mail" and They would never even mention the Racial or Ethnic aspects and character of Detroit. They would only talk about stuff like "Rustbelt Industries" and the "Recession".

The n-bomb,
worse than any tsunami, its..

Brutal to know Henry Ford live there once..now look at it.

Noticed the link is UK,
doubt their black-infested cities are any better and
soon enough London will be even worse than D.

Detroit is a perfect example. DC, Atlanta and others shall be soon enough. Anywhere and Everywhere now, we see whites doing all the can to get away from blacks. Also, blacks chase after everyone else with their whining, their crying, their you owe me attitude. One would think that they would be building pyramids in Detroit by now and flying around with their superpowers. Something's not right here.

I must have been a jewel of a City back in Henry Ford's day. Beautiful Art Deco Buildings. I suppose They had an Opera and a Symphony House, and a Playhouse.

Detroit is a case history in the decline of our species and people should take a long hard look at it and realize that this is our future without intervention.

Detroit was the fastest growing metropolitan area and the fourth largest city in the United States in the mid-1920s. By 1925, the city was home to 3,000 major manufacturing plants, 37 automobile manufacturing plants and 250 automobile accessory manufacturing plants. Factories employed over 300,000 people. In 1950, Detroit was the most manufacturing-dense city in the world and it was also one of the wealthiest cities in America.

In 1950, Detroit had a population of 1.850 million. In 2004, after half its population had already fled the City, it was 914,000. Detroit lost 50% of its population. Today, it has lost even more population. This had never happened to any other other American city.

During World War II, Ford's River Rouge plant employed almost 100,000 workers. Today, it is barely functioning.The number of Detroit manufacturing workers in 1960 slipped to 228,806 with a total employment of 810,923 workers. Since 1970, three-quarters of Detroit's manufacturing jobs have been eliminated. By 2000, nearly half-a-million jobs had been eliminated.

There is virtually no infrastructure intact.

Hospitals have either deteriorated or vanished. In 1980, the US infant mortality rate was 12.6 compared to Detroit's rate of 21.0. By 2002, the United States' infant mortality rate had fallen to 6.9, but the rate in Detroit remained high at 16.7, two and one-half times greater than the national average. It has one of the highest homicide rates in the USA.

The city's passenger transit system was once touted as the most efficient and modern in the USA. Detroit's rail system had 30 different rail lines running in and out of the city. Today, there is only a trace of a public transportation system remaining.

The schools are crowded, crime-infested and of poor quality. There are more crimes committed in Detroit public schools in one day than in an average small American town in one year.

Even as late as 1970, 77% of Detroit's families with children were still headed by a married couple. Today, over two-thirds of Detroit's families with children are headed by single parents and most are living below the poverty line. In 1999, the poverty rate in the US fell slightly to 11.9%, while Detroit's poverty rate jumped to 26.1%.

Block after block after city block meander with no visible sign of civilization. It is estimated that an entire city of half a million people could live in the housing stock that has been destroyed in Detroit within the just last two decades. Two-thirds of Detroit dwellings were once single-family homes. Detroit is now proud owner of 40,000 vacant lots, over four times more than New York City! Detroit appears green when viewed from outer space. Pheasants, raccoons and other wild animals have actually taken over parts of the city.

In 1910, the Black population of the city numbered less than 6,000 people. By 1920, the number of black residents had grown to 40,838 but the real increase came as blacks moved to Detroit in the great migration from the Deep South, and from the 1930s they slowly but steadily continued to relocate to Detroit. Even so, by 1960, only 28.9% of Detroit's population was black. Unlike many American cities, there were no major housing projects and even poor blacks lived in single houses, and there were many becoming available as whites began to move out of the city to the suburbs.

During the decade of the 1960s, however, Detroit's black population grew by 190,000 at the same time Detroit was losing manufacturing jobs and its industries were disappearing. Whites now flooded out of the city as neighborhood by neighborhood fell. "Great Society" Blacks, mostly living on welfare, continued to move to Detroit during the 1970s, even though the urban economic conditions grew even worse.

After the total collapse of the city, the black population finally began a decline as some began a reverse migration back to the South during the 1990s. In 2000, Detroit's African-American population constituted 81.6% of the city's total population, and today it is estimated to be approximately 84%. The remainder of the population is made of almost exclusively of other non-whites.

In an act which can only be described as necrophilia, the refugee resettlement folks inflicted yet another wound as they raped its decaying corpse and ushered in thousands of Iraqi refugees, dumping them there to drain the state's coffers even more.

I'm from back East in Canada originally and I know that the White liberals
back in Montreal and Toronto used to positively sneer at American, and particularly Southern Racism against Blacks. Western Canadians were also considered to be "just a bunch of Rednecks". Montreal proclaimed that Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Montreal because Racism against Blacks was "not Canadian or Montreal thing". A generations ago Black Men were popular in Montreal with the Liberal Women, and Jazz was king. Lately, I have been seeing how problems have grown as Blacks have moved into Toronto and Montreal. I recently learned that Montreal, though it considers itself the most "Progressive" City in North America is also the most corrupt. This has been the case for a while. The Mafia (which still is Italian actually) basically controls City Hall. I summary I can see Montreal and formerly "boring" Toronto going the way of Detroit at least in terms of Their Downtown areas.
