What's the situation like in areas outside of Detroit? Here in New Jersey, we have Newark, which also had the riots of 1967. Newark is sort of like a smaller-scale version of Detroit, but probably not as toxic.
You would think after all those bills designed to help the blacks in the mid '60s happened they would maintain some sort of civility but I guess nature didn't intend for them to live amongst whites. My parents both lived in Brooklyn in the '50s and '60s when blacks and Puerto Ricans were moving in and said they were nothing but menaces, with the schwartzes beating my mother up sometimes when she was young. Now I can see why "white flight" was inevitable.
