It's not going to be the masses of any community that will be self motivated at a young age, or do all this BS you're speaking on. I did madd shyt- military, degrees, IT career, and recently started my own shyt....
but I'm not an ignorant fool when it comes to social economic situations or the psychology of poverty. I also am not one to ignore Very recent history and how that effect situations. It's not like our parents aren't older than the time that blacks were starting to be accepted.... only in the 70's did we 'begin' to be slightly accepted. You're right you don't need cac to be successful. You don't and I don't. But for our entire communities to strive we need to first correct all the mental fukkkery that plagues most of us - and that's challenging with a social political and justice system designed (with hundreds of years of practice ) to keep you on the bottom.

shyt not going to happen over night just because a few black become successful, become MADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD detached from the root causes and them spout off all this BS bootstrap self reliance talk.

I can't speak this BS til I'm dead but that's not effective at all. That further divides us because each groups situation is different... You can't expect every lil boy from a neighborhood filled with crime and poverty, no role models, and no advice to be successful.... . just because 2 lil boys from their went to college.

Millions of young black become college graduates and enter in to professional fields and that number is decreasing. During the time of our parents all u could do is take care of your family.... only in the late 90's did we get in a position that enough of us are fully aware and able to make change. This whole fix the 1600's - 1960's in a matter of 5 Minutes idea is ridiculous. Most of the people speaking like this aren't going to be effective to young black boys.
If you don't know what the design is then you don't know how to work around it or against it. nikka it's very easy for me to get all my sons to college, they are pretty much set up all ready. WTF does that matter if 20 million of their peers are living in situations more fukked up than you can imagine. I'm just saying, even someone like me who has never been bout that hood life, has sold drug, seen my own mom beat down by police, madd people shot at... just from living and trying to go about life as a kid. You don't know what people deal w. Young people are deal w more stuff than Me and You when they are children that affect their mentality later on in life.

Basically, chill. People are working. This Detroit shyt has been planned out for over 10 years but your talking about nikkas with limited incomes buying up property 20 years ago.. when the value of that land went down just from the idea of them living in the area and increases from the IDEA of who will now be living in the area.

you mom was an immigrant so I'm not gonna even try to explain how a lack of unity causes most of this and why we didn't even have that unity.

:salute:



I noticed how some of these supposed local detroiters talk just like the surbanites. Like everybody suppose to wake up one day and just go to college and change everything they've ever known overnight. Oh me and my people did it why cant they. Life dont work like that.

Exactly... too often we blame white people for everything and live in Louisiana I see racist shyt go on all the time. However, at the end of the day people hate ghetto shyt. Moving to the burbs bumping your 12's coming into the neighborhood, being loud when people have to work in the morning and typical hood shyt that happens because people do not have responsibility or shyt ELSE TO DO.

The main problem is the hood way of life is ingrained into our fabric and we think its ok to live like that everywhere.

That is real talk. Too many black folk think that it is cool to do that destructive shyt in peaceful areas and even looking down upon them as 'weak' and 'white washed'

It's funny to me how people make the comments "I didn't vote for the Duggan because he was white, I voted for him because he was different" LOL yeah a different race, people in Detroit voted for Duggan looking for their white savior (and the white people voted for him because he was white), because if you did any research on dude, he was accused of doing the highest bidder stuff Kwame did, infact Kwame endorsed Duggan according to some reports. I'm not saying Duggan won't be good or help but to think people actually paid attention to his actual politics is ridiculous, this mayoral race was built on a black vs white, old vs new way. People who compare this situation to Martin O'Malley (Carcetti character from the Wire) should understand nothing really changed under him (his violent crime statistics were very shady), I lived in Baltimore and have a lot of family there and it's still rough so I wouldn't want to compare Detroit to that situation. Truth is gentrification has been happening ever since the economic downturn and would have continued whether it was Napoleon or Duggan.

Truth is Napoleon just wasn't cutting it as a potential mayor. Detroit needs a new black leader, not someone from the old bullshyt guard. People thought it would Pugh...that gay pedo :camby: The city hasn't been shyt when no cacs were in charge, and from a distance im going see what he can do and see if other whites embrace the city cause of him.


I want to see if a white man being mayor will change things in terms of the city growing.

The city will improve. My only question is how long do you think this will take? I've been wanting to get a stake in some property but the up keep before the value rises might not be worth it in the long run?

it will be worth it in the long run, but like @eastside313 said your money needs to be long inorder to sustain until the come up happens. basically as long as you can afford it you should be good. I'd say at least 10-15 years, it's going to be a segment at time, downtown is happening now

on a sidenote that's why i have to give an artist like lupe fiasco credit. he held a meet and greet/album signing release for Food and liquor 2 at Shantinique Music, a moms and pops store. He could have easily went out to dearborn like Slaughterhouse did. I had to dap him up just for coming to the eastside. It was packed too.

Why would the mayor being white cause some change?

If the guy comes with new ideas, he could have done that regardless of his race...... it's not like Kwame didn't have good idea w attracting business through all his fukkery. Some of the positive changes we see now that 'others' are taking credit for are because of kwame.


Plus some of the shyt has nothing to do w mayor. There was just a mass shooting yesterday at a barber shop, how would a mayor fix that ??

Off topic but my Lil Cuzz just put me up on getting a free room at motor city. You go down there and sign up for a new player card then you gotta play for a hour. nikka said he put a $10 bill in a penny slot and played for a hour :leon:
