In 1960, Detroit was just under 71% white, just under 29% black, and the rest a mix of Asian, Hispanic, and "other". Prior to 1960, Detroit had larger white population and smaller black populations. By 1970, the percentage of whites had dropped and the percentage of blacks had risen dramatically. Coupled with that was the City council becoming more and more Democrat controlled. Since 1960, there have been only 4 Republicans elected to City Council with the rest being predominantly Democrat with 1 Progressive, and several unaffiliated. For the last 36 years going back to 1994, it's been ALL Democrats. In the last 60 years, Detroit has become the largest black populated city in the U.S. at almost 83%.
Just goes to show when you have Democrats in control coupled with large black populations that want to stay on the plantation, the results aren't very good.
Detroit is the 6th most dangerous city based on per capital violent crimes in the country. Is anyone shocked?
