Detroit: symbol of ILL capitalism

and racism.
[is it 1906 or 2006?]
[Plaza Hotel]




Detroit was once a shining symbol of industrialisation and the better-life dream.

However, bosses got greedy and lazy. So, as the auto manufacturers lost ground to the Japanese,

they also decided to take out their frustration on their workers.

Detroit was also the seat of crazy-ass Northern racism. So, you had out of work blacks and whites

being chased around by the police. I pretty potent mixture.

About the only thing it created was some amazing, nihilistic music

and I don't mean Motown (they left town for Cali when things got rough)
I mean:

MC5, Stooges, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, White Stripes
