Finally, the truth!

Finally someone speaks the truth about Detroit. Bravo, Jackie. I am so sick and tired of people sticking their head in the sand, and saying "Its the white man..." or, "If only the schools received better funding...." or "It's the poverty that causes the crime...." Look at West Virginia, 95% White, 2nd poorest state in the US, 48th lowest crime rate. Enough said. Its not poverty or schooling. When white flight occurs, DUE TO CRIME, the area falls apart. Example where I live: Asbury Park, NJ. 1950's its as white as Wonder Bread, no crime, good schools, lively economy. A bustling Jersey Shore town. 1970-2000, white flight occurs, now its a war zone. Drugs, shootings, rape, robbery etc, all rampant, even during the day. Now in 2006, its making a comeback because whites are moving in and gentrifying the bad areas. Its almost liveable now. As a white man, I am sick and tired of being blamed for all the ills of society.
