Ok, Im 6 min. into this interview, y is this interviewer asking him questions as if it was a massive conspiracy against him? I'm from Detroit (born and raised) and It obvious to any free thinking Detroiter that he misused his power and took advantage of the system. He could have been a great politian and powerful man, but he wasted it.

This is obviously a very intelligent, well spoken Black man who could have gone far in the world of politics; a born leader. But it is quite disturbing to not see one shred of humility! The fact that he refuses to own any of his wrong doing negates everything he did positive in his political career. Confidence is one thing but his arrogance & lack of admitting his responsibilty in the illegal things he did is a terrible character flaw.

Real talk Chi-City.

And the white power structure in southeast Michigan tried to turn a treasure into trash.

[jan5262]

What illegal things did he do?? He lied on the witness stand about an affair to keep it away from his wife and family PERIOD. What's disturbing is your denial that what happened to this man was racially motivated.

[jan5262]

As a Detroiter for the past 54 years, I know Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was on his way to being a greater mayor than Mayor Coleman Young. The white power structure in southeast Michigan had a campaign against both of these men. They wanted the city back. Economically, they have always owned the city of Detroit. But in 1974, the first black mayor was elected that gave blacks political power because Mayor Young made the police department over 50% black as well as other city departments.

Wow! You're actually able to detect what is in a person's heart? That's a unique skill you have, I don't think another human being on earth is capable of doing that!
