Detroit To Create 'African Town'
21 September 2004 - 9:00am
A new economic development plan that calls for racial isolation is hotly debated in Detroit.
"A majority of the Detroit City Council wants to implement an economic development plan it commissioned for $112,000 that preaches racial isolation and rails against immigration in its bid to gain economic success for poor blacks... The crux of the plan is the creation of a business district -- dubbed African Town -- that would be funded in part with city money and made up of black-owned businesses catering to a black clientele."

Maybe we should blame Thomas Jefferson. He was the godfather of the urban sprawl racket in America.
