    Cities don’t “die.” Especially huge metropolitan areas such as Detroit. Detroit is suffering major effects of recession, but like the economy, it will rise again.

    Ahhh… No, Race has nothing to do with Detroit’s decline. The cause is purely a matter of Economics, mainly the city’s interventionism.
