was essentially a racial headcount. Black
Democrat Coleman Young campaigned
against “police brutality” while his white PERILS OF
opponent John Nichols ran on a law and DIVERSITY
order platform. Young won by a few
thousand votes and would begin a 20 year
reign that finished off what was left of
Detroit.
The city became the crime capital of
America in the 1970s and Young
implemented massive affirmative action for
city employment. To give an example of the
kind of leader he was, here is Young,
quoted by Kersey, on affirmative action:
“Some people say affirmative action is REVISED AND
discrimination in reverse. You’re damned ABRIDGED! BUY

discrimination is to reverse it.”
Kersey cites an August 1991 American
Renaissance article by William Robertson
Boggs on what Young’s leadership meant
for Detroit:
Now, no other city in the United States
has a character or identity that is so
clearly black. Mayor Coleman Young calls
himself “the black mayor of a black city.”
This is scarcely an exaggeration. The
police chief and all four police
commissioners are black. The school
superintendent is black, as are the heads
of virtually every city department. Both of
the city’s congressmen and most of its
judges are black.
While federal and state subsidies keep
Detroit from complete collapse, Mayor
Young operates his city much as an
African potentate might. His picture hangs
in every city office building, and his name
graces the municipal letterhead. The
personal business cards of every city
employee bear the mayor’s name. At
every opportunity, he names parks and
civic centers after himself. Even the city
zoo is now named for Coleman A. Young.
The very history of the city now has
something of a colonial-African hue. The
period of prosperity before the riots is
now officially viewed as analogous to
colonization. A city document describes
the pre-1967 police force as “a hostile
white army, entrusted by white authorities
with the job of keeping nonwhites penned
up in ghettos.”As the riots recede further
into the past, they are increasingly seen
as a glorious insurrection, in which the
oppressed black man threw off his
shackles and wrested control from the
white man.
Detroit even has its own anthem, which is
also the unofficial anthem of black
America: Lift Every Voice and Sing. The
people of Detroit still sing the Star
Spangled Banner when the presence of
whites makes it necessary, but it is
invariably followed by an enthusiastic
chorus of what Detroiters call
“our”anthem. No city in America is more
self-consciously black, no city more clearly
and completely governed by blacks than
Detroit.
But what about the role of the auto
industry? Doesn’t its decline have
something to do with the collapse of the
Motor City?
In one of the best chapters of Escape From
Detroit, Kersey compares the fate of Detroit
to another Rust Belt city—Pittsburgh. The
steel industry in Pittsburgh was hit much
harder than the auto industry in Detroit in
the 1970s and 80s. Yet the loss of its main
industry did not cause Pittsburgh residents
to riot and burn down their city. In fact,
Forbes recently named Pittsburgh “The
Most Livable City in America.” The
Economist called Pittsburgh “The Best City
in America.”
Of course, Pittsburgh is one of the whitest
big cities in America while Detroit is the
blackest. Whites are 65 percent of the
population in Pittsburgh while blacks are
only 25 percent. Whites comprise nearly 90
percent of the greater Pittsburgh metro
area.
Escape From Detroit is vigorously written,
well-researched—and visibly self-published.
As Jared Taylor discovered last year, racial
truths are unfit to print in today’s America.
Paul Kersey did not even try to find a
mainstream publisher. But the truths about
how black crime and political incompetence
destroyed a once great city need to be told.
And they can be found nowhere else.
And, despite almost no publicity outside of
his blog, Kersey has already sold over
1,000 copies of his book. The proceeds will
help Kersey with his next book, in which he
will turn his sights on what black leadership
has done to Atlanta.
