Race always comes up in the conversation of Detroit.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was born and raised in Detroit.
I never though much about race.
I can read in any book and newspaper about the city of Detroit, but I want to hear what the people in Detroit have to say about Detroit. My best education is actually talking to people.
I am a son of Detroit. I was born in Detroit.
Detroit is really a model for how wealthier and whiter Americans escape the costs of public goods they'd otherwise share with poorer and darker Americans.
Race is something that's always haunted American policing.
But as a practical matter, Detroit's the sports city in the country.
I'm from Detroit. I was from a kind of violent neighbourhood.
The thing is, it's that Detroiters are hard workers. We've always been hard workers, even when times are down. I've been able to take that with me, that work ethic, to help me build my career.
I do wish that people talked about the subject of race, especially in the South.
