If Detroit Didn't Have Enough Problems....

This is what happens when you try to make a difference.

The city has the highest unemployment rate in the country, the football team was the first to go 0-16 in an NFL season, the baseball team is the perennial doormat and now the schools are racist. Detroit cannot get a call (literally and figuratively). “Madison Heights' former interim school superintendent on Tuesday blamed racism for his firing after less than two months on the job, saying his efforts to recruit Detroit schoolchildren didn't sit well with some residents.” This guy is doing his part to bring Michigan out of the third world, but the heavy issue of racism within this school district is causing problems. While the residents of Madison Heights continuously claim that they are not racist, they cannot provide a reason why they do not want Detroit kids in their schools. Progress is a slow process. The residents of Madison Heights are entity theorists. They basically classify everyone within a group as having the same values and traits. That is where black stereotypes come in and why people feel that these Detroit schoolchildren would not be suitable for their school. Something bad happened to Michigan and I hope that one day they wake up and realize that it is 2009.
