Media pass for Snyder’s other Michigan
Special to The Michigan Citizen
Mainstream Michigan media is portraying the save-the-DIA-artwork Detroit bankruptcy as the political Hail Mary of the century, portraying democracy-destroying human rights violators as folk heroes who punked out unionists and others who dared broach the subject of selling a multi-billion dollar art collection to meet pension obligations.

Gov. Rick Snyder[/caption]
He who would be president has done a masterful job with mainstream media co-conspirators of making you look the other way from Michigan Governor Rick Snyder’s other Detroit, which is the murder capital of the U.S.A. where 60 percent of the children live in poverty enduring Snyder-run Educational Achievement Authority — schools that have failed our children abysmally even as infant mortality shamefully rivals Third World levels with human rights-violating water shutoffs a mainstay of Snyder’s other Detroit.
But this governor must take ownership of the nationally acknowledged I-75 corridor of poverty and resultant crime of Saginaw, Flint and Detroit.
Flint water is undrinkable even deemed unusable by General Motors, which opted out for Flint Township water, instead saying Flint water would harm vehicle parts during manufacture. But residents of Flint, with an overwhelmingly Black population, must boil first, drink and hope for the best.
No human rights, no democracy is a mainstay of Gov. Snyder’s administration in the predominately Black areas of Michigan enduring a most malignant neglect that is now an American shame that should be highlighted whenever fingers are pointed at China and North Korea.
There has been so much focus on blight removal. Governor, tackle the real blight if you really want that White House. You must factor in real people and what you did to eradicate the blight that really generates the need for corporate police cars. Poverty is blight. Unemployment is blight. Your EAA schools that don’t educate are blight. Blight is faucets turned on with no water or undrinkable water. Blight is the unacceptable rate that babies die throughout Black Michigan.
Fight blight, governor, before the victims of your neglect do the unspeakable.
Those who can see must find ways to inflict themselves on those who don’t give a damn about you except containing and controlling you and our children. We must not become that little voice in the howling winds of Detroit bankruptcy and the march of a Gilbertville that has no use for us. We must organize and become a force of nature capable of inflicting our humanity upon those who count us out.
We must never let haters cause us to lose hope or dislike ourselves, and never let haters make you weak in your faith. Keep the faith. Stay on the battlefield.
