You're saying that all African-Americans in Detroit are members of this group?

No, and not all non-African-Americans are members of the other group. Detroit, which is made up mostly of African-Americans has been quite dismissive of advice offered by the mostly white suburbanites.

So both groups are made up of whites, others and African-Americans but you're claiming that Detroit is a failure of African-Americans?

Yes, neither group is completely homogeneous, but in each group members of one race make up the overwhelming majority.

But you hold the minority of that race accountable for the actions of the majority?

Do you blame all white people for slavery, too?
