Detroit--Just
the Beginning?
By Frosty Wooldridge
For 15 years, from the mid 1970's to 1990,
I worked in Detroit, Michigan.
I watched it descend into the abyss of
crime, debauchery, gun play, drugs,
school truancy, car-jacking, gangs and
human depravity. I watched entire
city blocks burned out. I watched graffiti
explode on buildings, cars, trucks,
buses and school yards. Trash everywhere!
Detroiters walked through it, tossed more
into it and ignored it. Tens of
thousands and then, hundreds of thousands
today exist on federal welfare,
free housing and food stamps!
With Aid to Dependent Children, minority
women birthed eight to 10 and in
one case, one woman birthed 24 kids as
reported by the Detroit Free Press-all
on American taxpayer dollars.
A new child meant a new car payment, new
TV and whatever mom wanted. I saw
Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" flourish
in Detroit. If you give
money for doing nothing, you will get more
hands out taking money for doing
nothing.
Mayor Coleman Young, perhaps the most corrupt
mayor in America, outside of
Richard Daley in Chicago, rode Detroit
down to its knees. He set the
benchmark for cronyism, incompetence and
arrogance. As a black man, he said, "I
am the MFIC." The IC meant 'in charge'.
You can figure out the rest. Detroit
became a majority black city with 67 percent
African-Americans.
As a United Van Lines truck driver for
my summer job from teaching math
and science, I loaded hundreds of American
families into my van for a new life
in another city or state.
Detroit plummeted from 1.8 million citizens
to 912,000 today. At the same
time, legal and illegal immigrants converged
on the city, so much so, that
Muslims number over 300,000. Mexicans number
400,000 throughout Michigan , but
most work in Detroit . As the whites moved
out, the Muslims moved in.
As the crimes became more violent, the
whites fled. Finally, unlawful
Mexicans moved in at a torrid pace. Detroit
suffers so much
shoplifting that grocery stores no longer
operate in many inner city locations.
You could cut the racial tension in the
air with a knife!
Detroit may be one our best examples of
multiculturalism: pure dislike and
total separation from America.
Today, you hear Muslim calls to worship
over the city like a new American
Baghdad with hundreds of Islamic mosques
in Michigan, paid for by Saudi
Arabia white oil money. High school flunk
out rates reached 76 percent
last June, according to NBC's Brian Williams.
Classrooms resemble more
foreign countries than America . English?
Few speak it! The city features a 50
percent illiteracy rate and growing. Unemployment
hit 28.9 percent in 2009
as the auto industry vacated the city.
In this week's Time Magazine October
4, 2009, "The Tragedy of Detroit; how a
great city fell and how it can rise
again," I choked on the writer's description
of what happened. "If Detroit
had been savaged by a hurricane and submerged
by a ravenous flood, we'd know
a lot more about it," said Daniel Okrent.
"If drought and carelessness had
spread brush fires across the city, we'd
see it on the evening news every
night.
Earthquake, tornadoes, you name it - if
natural disaster had devastated the
city that was once the living proof of
American prosperity, the rest of the
country might take notice.
But Detroit, once our fourth largest city,
now 11th and slipping rapidly,
has had no such luck. Its disaster has
long been a slow unwinding that
seemed to remove it from the rest of the
country. Even the death rattle that in
the past year emanated from its signature
industry brought more attention to
the auto executives than to the people
of the city, who had for so long been
victimized by their dreadful decision-making."
As Coleman Young's corruption brought the
city to its knees, no amount of
federal dollars could save the incredible
payoffs, kick backs and illegality
permeating his administration. I witnessed
the city's death from the seat of
my 18-wheeler tractor trailer because I
moved people out of every sector of
decaying Detroit By any quantifiable standard,
the city is on life
support.
"Detroit 's treasury is $300 million short
of the funds needed to provide
the barest municipal services," Okrent
said. "The school system, which six
years ago was compelled by the teachers'
union to reject a philanthropist's
offer of $200 million to build 15 small,
independent charter high schools, is
in receivership.The murder rate is soaring,
and 7 out of 10 remain
unsolved.
Three years after Katrina devastated
New Orleans, unemployment in that
city hit a peak of 11%. In Detroit, the
unemployment rate is 28.9%.
That's worth spelling out: twenty-eight
point nine percent." At the end of
Okrent's report, and he will write
a dozen more about Detroit, he said,
"That's because the story of Detroit is
not simply one of a great city's
collapse. It's also about the erosion of
the industries that helped build the
country we know today. The ultimate fate
of Detroit will reveal much about the
character of America in the 21st century.
If what was once the most
prosperous manufacturing city in the nation
has been brought to its knees, what does
that say about our recent past? And if
it can't find a way to get up, what
does that say about our future?"
As you read in my book review of Chris
Steiner's book, "$20 Per Gallon",
the auto industry won't come back.. Immigration
will keep pouring more and
more uneducated third world immigrants
from the Middle East into Detroit - thus
creating a beachhead for Islamic hegemony
in America . If 50 percent
illiteracy continues, we will see more
homegrown terrorists spawned out of the
Muslim ghettos of Detroit . Illiteracy
plus Islam equals walking human bombs.
You have already seen it in Madrid, Spain;
London, England and Paris,
France with train bombings, subway bombings
and riots. As their numbers grow,
so will their power to enact their barbaric
Sharia Law that negates
republican forms of government, first amendment
rights and subjugates women to the
lowest rungs on the human ladder. We will
see more honor killings by upset
husbands, fathers and brothers that demand
subjugation by their daughters,
sisters and wives. Muslims prefer beheadings
of women to scare the hell out of
any other members of their sect from straying.
Multiculturalism: what a
perfect method to kill our language, culture,
country and way of life.
I PRAY EVERYONE THAT READS THIS REALIZES
THAT IF WE DONT ALL STAND UP AND
SCREAM !!!! AT WASHINGTON AND OUR STATE
LEADERS THIS IS WHAT AWAITS AMERICA .
IF YOU FOLLOW THE NEWS AT ALL YOU KNOW
THIS HAS HAPPENED IN ENGLAND AND
FRANCE AND SPAIN .
IF YOU THINK THIS IS JUST A BUNCH OF HOOEY
AND YOU FEEL NO DUTY TO FIGHT
FOR THIS COUNTRY, THEN I'M SORRY, I DONT
KNOW WHAT IT WILL TAKE FOR YOU TO
STAND AND FIGHT.
