A Closer Look at Detroit, MI

The city of Detroit, MI has districts that have been stricken with poverty. Abandoned houses, homeless families, and overcrowded soup kitchens are far too present in the city. Poverty is such a demanding issue, not just around Detroit but in areas all over the country. It's upsetting to see an area which was once so prosperous become a ghost time, teeming with crime, drug trade, gangs, and violence. All pictures are taken in Detroit, Highland Park, and Dearborn, MI.

@singularwave Wait,.. Isn't that what cops and schools are for?.... Remind me again how I've oppressed or victimized ANYBODY, regardless of color... Take your time, got all day here. You see, I'm out of work too and yet, don't burn buildings, trash neighborhoods or kill others similarly affected by our current political/economic situation. Tell me again how "whitey" is keepin us down...

@JCSG93 we have to be honest, when blacks took over detroit, that is when detroit fell from grace. Now its not entirely their fault, whites shouldn't have fled the city they should have stayed and demanded that the city maintain itself. It was also white liberals who destroyed black families by injecting their "social engineering" and "welfare" into society.

@singularwave only losers blames others for their own shortcomings

wow..there s just a long horrible behind us; people dying, war, illness etc...looks like we have never been learning. The worst thing is that, i m afraid we will NEVER learn from mistakes. We think the world s now safe and well, but we r just destroying more and more, everyday....

[JCSG93]

blacks dont destroy the country near as much as racist pricks on youtube who got a voice because of youtube.com...and probly should have never had a voice in the first place. Blaming an entire race for the US problems on crime. wow. And no, im not black.
