Re: park photo from Detroit 110 years ago shows how far we have fallen
back then, the average citizen was dirt poor in terms of standard of living and modern conveniences that even the poorest among us have today

yet people still aspired to make beautiful places of civic pride and tranquil escape

gosh all you have to do is walk into a home that was built in the early 1900's most cities have them. the architecture. the windows! the doors! were built with more pride than any home i see today that is built as quickly as possible for as much money as you can get out of people.

it is sooooo sad. every time i walk into an older home i just marvel at the skill and pride that we lost.... and somehow we think we are better off today than we were back then which is where i get all confused....

Yup. I love it when I see antiques listed as "primitives". I think, you dumb fuck the folks that used those items were probably more advanced than you.

Can you imagine if those people in this serene and beautiful Victorian era picture could look into the future of that same location and city today?

They would think the world had ended and would ask "what happened" to our city.

Having lived 40 miles west of the city all my life, it's been an ugly slow death of the "Paris of the Midwest".

The riots were the beginning of course but the Mayor Coleman Young years in the 80's set the precedent of "take what you can salvage, because she's doing down" mentality.

The history of happenings in these historic, gorgeous buildings is amazing. Now they are open to the elements many of them. Beyond sad. unfortunately typical.

Re: park photo from Detroit 110 years ago shows how far we have fallen
white people arent into fighting,

they are into fleeing, as i saw as a poor white kid watching all my neighbors flee the south side of Chicago til we were the only white people left too poor to move to the burbs.


My best guess on what will happen, knowing what i do.


Whites will move and hide, move and hide, move and hide,


until it gets too hard to hide anymore,

then whites will attempt to establish a whites only territory in a mountain range somewhere, probably in the Rockies.


Before people say GUFFFFAAH!!! wont happen, the government will probably collapse after whites slip as the majority race of the USA.



One factoid:


look at the decline in test scores in the USA, with the decline in the white population. They mirror each other perfectly.


When whites slip as the minority this country wont be a Hippi commune,

this country will look like a cross between a South American Ghetto and South Africa, with whites trying to hide out.

Whites are so over loaded with guilt they will never fight here.

Europe is a different story. At some point native europeans will say, Our ancestors settled the land thousands of years ago, and begin cleaning house

The same thing happened to New Orleans, it was once such a beautiful, safe and family oriented city, not now. New Orleans is now one of the murder capitals of the world, The infrastructure is in shambles and was before Katrina hit.

Katrina simply exposed the disgusting underbelly that is now New Orleans.

judging from the comment here, things took a turn for the worst in the late 60's...

looks to me like drugs is the driving force in this decline.

that's when getting high really went mainstream with the whole hippie movement... "tune in, turn on, drop out".

Yes. Drugs were perhaps the single biggest shit bomb thrown in traditional American society.

The truth is traditional Americans were too innocent, naive and kind-hearted and fair. They were were like children taken to the slaughter. There was no real defense against the people and powers seeking their destruction.

Baltimore already is completely lost. The roads are terrible, the crime rate is ridiculously high and if you go even a mile or two away from Camden Yards/Horseshoe, the buildings are all dilapidated trap houses. I've spoken to quite a few police officers and they've told me that a lot of crime that happens in the city is not reported on the news as it would cause tourism to the city to drastically decline.

Liberalism and blacks. The two most destructive things on earth.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 63874863


Yup! ^^^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^^^^
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69153735


So, white folk believe the very folk who had the backbone to build this nation, are now its destruction?
You people are so deceived, as we are all contributors to its destruction as we've allowed an elite who was bent on out destruction convince us there is no God, as they imbued our culture with evolution, removal of prayer, separation of church and state, homosexuality, abortion, etc.

Black folk, for the most part, have been unwitting victims of a very sophisticated brand of social programming as a result of the unbelief they bought into which has put many of them in the very vulnerable position of being lead astray which is the part to destruction. White folk are also caught in the same delusion which is less evident as a result of their socioeconomic status. Poverty, lack of education, powerlessness just put many folk more at street level.

The democratic parties very sophisticated social engineering has lead many black folk down a path of dependency, and as many folk are not eternally minded, they are prone to viewing their immediate situations, if not at a certain level, to sense desperation and hopelessness.

Re: park photo from Detroit 110 years ago shows how far we have fallen
I lived in a small town in northern new york in the St.Lawrence valley, a village of about 30,000 people. We didn't have ANY n!ggers, not a one, if the 40 degree below zero winters didn't run them off, the Italian mob or the Mohawk Indians would. Indians up there didn't have any use for a n!gger, and the Italians were even worst.

I remember this one black guy that tried to take up residence there, he was in and out of jail continuously and finally just "disappeared", not sure what became of him. The rumor was he was fitted with a cement overcoat and dumped in the rive because he bedded an Italian girl.

We also had a high yellow kid in school when i was in junior high, his mother was a mud-shark and the kids dad of course was nowhere to be found. He stayed around for a few years, most of the kids were tolerant of him , we kind of felt sorry for him being a breed, but that chick was ran out of town by people who would dump garbage in her yard and mess up her car and her house. There was another chick who had a chocolate monkey from when she had lived in Connecticut, and that is the extent of the Negroes I ever saw in that town in 18 years of living there.

There is another place you can go that I can't guarantee you won't see a negro, but if you do all you have to do is call the sheriffs department and you won't see him much longer, and that is Montgomery county in Arkansas in the Quachita national forest. The campground there is called "Albert Pike" and Negroes are "unofficially" not allowed,and the campers and hikers that go there to have a safe time with their families are all made aware, if you see a negro call the sheriff. I've seen three there in the many years I've been going up and camping fishing there, and all three of them were in the back of a sheriffs cruiser within a few hours of the "sighting". It is a fine place to take your kids and let them experience some freedom because the riff raff is scared to go there.

I am sad to say it but if we are going to have Negroes in this country be free to go where they please like we would real human beings we are going to have to accept the fact that like pit bulls and golden retrievers are not compatible, neither are whites and blacks. I have no problem with blacks being all they can be,I am not wishing to oppress them in any way, I just don't want the problems that come with coexisting with them as if they are my peers or my equal. They're not. They're not as smart, they're much more prone to violence and crime, and if you have Negroes in the neighborhood you can't ever relax and allow your children to be free and experience life like kids should be allowed to.
Am I racist? YES!
Without a doubt.And so is every other thinking person on this planet. I realize that races are NOT equals, nor will they ever be.


I am not going to be forced by political correct bullshit t deny that without a white host to feed on like a jew, the farthest they are ever going to go is what they have in Africa where they are in total control, a shithole of filth,disease and violence.. If we want our country to look like Africa,then we should force multiculturalism on our people, and if we want to be a great nation again we are going to have to get these n!ggers and jews segregated, contained, and controlled. It might not be politically correct to say it, but if it's not allowed to speak the truth then we need to start asking ourselves why before it is too late. I have experienced life where Negroes and other undesirable "minorities" were not allowed to be and the quality of life was incredibly better.

I'm afraid I am going to have to disagree with you, that is not any kind of water tower and it appears to be part of a mosque. Which is not surprising really, for hundreds of years Muslims weren't considered terrorists in this country and they had a mosque in every city. It wasn't really until the jews took over around the turn of the century (early 1900's) that the mosques started to disappear.Detroit has always had a fairly large Muslim population as did New York.

Here is a detailed description of the muslim population in Detroit in the early 1900's:

[link to www.muslimsinamerica.org]

The building we are seeing is indeed a mosque, and it is part of what we all though was so nice about the photo. Think about it, when you look at a picture of jerusalem, what object or building catches your eye as the most beautiful thing there on the skyline? I'll give you a hint, it isn't the "wailing wall". If you compare the contributions to society and to the wold in general of Muslims to those of jews, it is easy to see which is a corrosive parasite and which is actually civilized.
