Race baiting, a Detroit sport

From a Detroit Free Press Editorial.

• Detroit holds an estimated 78,000 vacant homes -- and that number is expected to reach nearly 100,000 within a year.
• Detroit's sprawling population could fall to near 600,000 by 2020.
• The recent foreclosure crisis is just the latest in a series of cataclysms, including shuttered factories and middle-class flight,

In the exact same paper on the same day is the reason why the middle class left Detroit.

Rev. Jim Holley is pastor of Little Rock Baptist Church in Detroit in "Health care and bile" accuses those who oppose government health care as sick, derides Michael Steele for not speaking out against -- imagined - racism. Thinks those "right-wing reactions are not only revolting but potentially dangerous."

Perhaps Steele will soon learn, as will certain other members of his party, that if you choose to share your bed with a disease, then there’s a good chance you’ll contract that same disease before morning arrives.

AND YOU WONDER WHY PEOPLE ARE FLEEING DETROIT? When a newspaper gives space to a race baiting, poverty pimp with ugly polticis like this, what hope is there for any peace, any progress any future? Run, don't walk, to the exits, folks. The middle class life and middle class values you want aren't in Detroit. It's just more of the same.
