[h=1]Minority-owned contractors in Detroit wanted for blight removal[/h]

DETROIT - Minority-owned and city-based contractors in Detroit are being sought for the city's blight removal program.

Mayor Mike Duggan, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and members of the city's faith-based community on Tuesday announced upcoming contractor opportunity fairs.


The first of the events is scheduled May 13 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Northwest Activities Center, 18100 Meyers.


Duggan says the city is "about to ramp up the work that's already taking place" in Detroit neighborhoods.


The city's blight removal efforts include demolitions and home rehabilitation. More than 8,000 vacant houses have been demolished over the past two years.


The city is to receive $42 million in federal blight removal funds which could allow for 5,000 demolitions this year and 6,000 in 2017.

Does the truth about how Democrats fuck up cities hurt your feelings?

No. Do you consider yourself to be a racist? Would you be shocked to learn that most members here are sure you are? Or are you okay with that.

It should.

I don't care what you THINK. It doesn't matter what I say, you'll call me a racist regardless. Since it's all you have, you really have nothing. Run along and honorable people get to business.

J.B. Stradford, the son of a freed Kentucky slave, rose to prominence in Oklahoma during the early 1900s as one of the key developers of the all-black Tulsa enclave Greenwood. A lawyer and businessman, Stradford owned the 65-room hotel that sat right in the heart of the thriving community that would later become known as "the Black Wall Street."




But in a single day, all of that would change. On May 31, 1921, the arrest of a young black man on a questionable charge of assaulting a young white woman touched off the deadliest race riot in U.S. history. Whites charged through the community in retaliation, leaving an estimated 300 people dead, another 10,000 black residents homeless and 35 city blocks in ruin.


Stradford and 69 other black men were subsequently charged with inciting the riot. Stradford, however, jumped bail after his arrest and fled Tulsa for Kentucky. According to his great-granddaughter Laurel Stradford, his son (her grandfather), who was also a lawyer, used legal maneuvering to help his father avoid having to stand trial, including filing a petition for a writ of habeas corpus to keep him from being unlawfully detained.


"When I was a little girl, our grandmother used to tell us that J.B. had said that there was no greater gift that a man can be given than to have a son who saves his father's life," says Laurel Stradford. "There would be a lot of remembrance of my great-grandpa and the role he played in Tulsa, and the role my grandpa had in getting him free from being lynched."


But although J.B. -- who went on to run a successful law practice in Chicago -- managed to avoid facing "justice" in Oklahoma (he never returned to the state), the charges hung over him until he died. The Stradford family fought to clear J.B., but it wasn't until 1996 -- 75 years after the riot, and six decades after his death in 1935 in Chicago at the age of 75 -- that he was cleared of all charges. (Ultimately, none of the men indicted were convicted of anything.)


That 75th-anniversary year was also when the nation learned about the Tulsa Race Riot, which would come to be considered the most destructive race riot in U.S. history. "For years, silence engulfed this incident," says Hannibal B. Johnson, author of Black Wall Street: From Riot to Renaissance in Tulsa's Historic Greenwood. "In 1921, Tulsa was booming, so anything that would detract from its allure, such as the riot, was minimized."

A Black Mecca


Indeed, Tulsa had been attracting thousands -- blacks and whites -- to the rich oil fields. By 1920, the overall population had swelled to more than 100,000 residents. Black Americans, migrating from Southern states as far as Georgia and Mississippi, were also attempting to escape the harsh realities of Southern racism.

You might be aware that many cities are run by Democrats, there is New York, San Francisco, Miami, Tampa just to name a few off the top of my head.

Detroit IS NOT RUN BY DEMOCRATS it suffers from a loss of home rule, whereby certain municipal powers were taken by the State Government, run by a Republican Governor.

Typical Liberal excuse. You have it down. How long did it take you learn it?

Let a city be run by black Democrats and fuck up. You guys never place the blame where it lies but you'd damn sure give those black Democrats credit if Detroit was thriving.

If Detroit was thriving and did not have a Republican emergency manager running it, I would give the people running the city credit.
