That is what you all try to do. You try to camouflage the real reality of racism by claiming that we see EVERYTHING as racism. It's like a magicians trick.......to get people to look away from the truth of the matter. You want the audience to focus on the inaccurate claims of racism....to hide the real racism. I mean, there is a 300 + year record of evidence on racism....which is kind of hard to hide under your sleeve....but dam if you all don't try.

The broken record is the old tired magicians tricks.

I know of lots of cities with a history of corrupt politicians but I am aware of none that lost population over the isse.

Actually the black population of Detroit peaked in 2001 at ~ 790,000. The poor economy and the national sub prime housing fiasco, liar loans, CDO's, relaxed lending standards and the like, radically altered residential trends in regards to race, not only in the Detroit area, but all over the nation. Whites wanted to move out of inner-ring suburbs because they could move up into bigger homes and lots further out....but they needed people to buy their existing homes. Inner ring suburbs was a move up only for people in the city who were then approved for loans in these inner ring suburbs that they could previously hardly get into. That is why there was this large decline in black population in the principle cities all across the Midwest.

And Massachussetts has Romneycare, which residents like and which repubs now dodge.

The liberals did not stand up against Bill Clinton and his NAFTA and other free trade policies. The unions didn't do much either to keep jobs for the people. Liberal governors in Michigan didn't do anything to keep jobs there.
In fact Pat Buchanan was one of the only ones who spoke out against NAFTA, but liberals opposed him.

Do you read at all? Just one fascist Fox talking point after another is all you can offer up?
NAFTA was authored and signed by republicons pre-Clinton, and mostly repubs supported it. Clinton pushed nothing on poor defenseless repugs.
Your heroes Limbaugh, Fox, etal accused Clinton of "stealing" NAFTA from them. Helps to have a short attention span - as Fox well knows.
O'Reilly falsely claimed "[m]ost Republicans didn't want" NAFTA | Research | Media Matters for America

And what about your "Clinton-as-Marxist" talking point - what happened to that? You just etch-a-sketch it whenever convenient? You rightists are truly amazing.
If you are attempting to sway people toward the right, you are not earning your pay - seriously. Fox scripting won't do it.
